ABC 7 New York for Negative User Reviews

Too Many AdvertisementsWhile an outstanding app. I've grown up with ABC 7 and I will always be loyal to Eyewitness News and WABC as I've been watching the program for 20 years. I understand the necessity to use advertisements to make the app profitable, but to have a 30-60 second advertisement play prior to every video playing is a bit ludicrous. I could understand having it after every 4-5 videos but every video to have to watch a 30-60 second ad in a world like New York where things move quickly. Sometimes we just want to watch the content uninterrupted you know? That's my only gripe! Offer a paid version of these apps without the advertisements. It's an even bigger slap to the face when the advertisement is longer than the actual video itself.. 😞..Version: 5.3.3

Zero stars for lying by omissionI once highly respected this news agency but over the last seven years they have completely polarized the delivery of information to the public. Journalistic integrity has gone out the window. They consistently publish in accurate information by leaving out major details which is essentially lying by omission. I removed the app from my phone I remove them from my web search browser I will no longer turn it on to watch on TV. I used to start my day by listening to the news and I refuse to even bother anymore with it’s one-sided hate filled propaganda..Version: 7.19

What’s good versus what’s absurdI respect ‘ Channel 7 on your side ‘ for reporting consumer abuse And illegal companies taking money and failing to do thee work. There coverage of heroic rescues involving heroes from children to adults is wonderful too. Unfortunately your channel covers 3 hours of reporting with previews of what’s coming up: first: without a time frame or presenting it 2nd: previews of the weather within 5 minutes of coming on the air! each hour! 3rd and what’s most prevalent to us(consumers who watch the network). I want news coverage of up to the minute news; your words not mine! The weather should be towards the end of your top news that we want to hear and see. We are not all dumb people who just care about the blah blah reporting. I hope you see this and doesn’t get lost. I’ll be watching for now. Sincerely yours, Edward Woods.Version: 7.10

New version is awfulThe abc app was never really good but it was passable until the recent June 2023 update and now it is almost impossible to use. They changed the format so that the user is supposedly tempted into watching the little news video they embed with each article and the page is now so cluttered up with videos and ads that the whole experience has turned to rubbish. It’s impossible to use. Which is a shame since it used to have rather decent local coverage..Version: 8.16.0

The “Top News” tap is working, again.Slow to correct but good job, before next update. KoNY.Version: 6.0.1

CRAP by TeaMoon -2-Feb-2014App crashes every single time.In the 7 months since this app launched,ABC Digital has seemingly made no attempt to fix this problem.The old WABC app was far superior to this.Just go to the WABC website instead..Version: 2.3

Great newscast iffy and glitchy appI enjoy watching eyewitness news but, the app definitely has glitches. Pictures don’t match stories, ads are obtrusive, and sometimes while scrolling you are brought back to the top. Also while clicking on a story that should have text it disappears. They’re are also multiple spelling and grammatical errors which can be forgiven if the news was just released. They should fine tune the stories once printed..Version: 7.23.0

Latest update has bugsI downloaded the latest update a couple of days ago, and ever since then this normally great app has trouble loading content, and issue frequent error messages. One reads: "An error has occurred. The operation couldn't be completed. (Cocoa error 1560.)" Hope you can sort this out real soon..Version: 2.1.2

New layout of appThe new layout of your app is OK , I would appreciate if you were able to do full screen like the previous app that I had from ABC. One thing I will say, I do like the larger video oversight of it, not like the previous one where you had a small little window, and clicking on it, could be troublesome on occasion. Hopefully people read these and they can fix the certain issues with the app..Version: 8.16.0

App is repetitive and not monitoredThis app seems to be only good for watching live, but when you replay videos there is no sequence to the videos. They repeat at times sometimes even showing the same video three times in a row. The other news apps have a sequence to their videos and not one of them repeats. Why can’t this app do that. Also when you want to watch the news, just show the news when we replay videos. We don’t need to see a review on beauty spots, massages and facials! There should be an option to skip through if these and the sort!.Version: 7.10

Want to love it - click connectBeen a viewer for 40 years however the app needs a fix. On more than one occasion a headline will appear saying “click to open in app” but when clicked it does not connect me to the story; further the story I am interested in is not found anywhere on the app. I think with more consistent accurate connections the app would be wonderful..Version: 7.13

Needs updating. Too many fake news links.It’s a decent local news app, but it needs to be updated and it’s got too many advertising links dressed up as fake news stories. The app needs to be formatted for different size phones. The fonts look huge on my iPhone 6 Plus and there’s no way to adjust the font size. The notifications are also annoying and should be controllable within the app, perhaps to allow for different kinds of alerts you may want or don’t want (e.g. all news, local news, weather, sports, traffic, politics). The fake news links to advertising are a real disappointment. You’d think a news app, especially ABC, would want to maintain the integrity of their news outlet and not list a bunch of fake news links after their stories under “You might also be interested in...” That’s just lame..Version: 5.3.3

Notifications for cats in trees.While overall channel 7 typically beats the other stations with breaking news, I also get random notifications about non-breaking news. This is even though I’ve only signed up to get breaking news alerts. Why do I get alerts when a Burger King opens early? Why do I get alerts when a cat is in a tree? The amount of alerts they send daily is too much about literally nothing news..Version: 7.23.0

Stick with the old. Out with the new!The old format was much easier to see at a glance and quickly scan what was happening. You could then choose what to delve into quickly. The new format shows the images too large and forces you to do more scrolling to see what the latest stories are. Will not be visiting the site as often if it stays this way..Version: 6.0.1

Frustrating!!I’m like the others leaving reviews. Like the news, hate the app. Crashes, locks up, doesn’t update. It’s no longer my “go to” news app. None of the other news apps I use act like this one. Obviously, they don’t care to fix the issues, because the bad reviews all describe the same ones, and they go back years… not days, weeks, or months… years!! I can’t even imagine what their advertisers think about this. I’d be furious if I were in their shoes. I’m probably going to delete the app, and use a different one that consistently performs better..Version: 7.18

Update TerribleI used to be a big fan of this app. Not anymore. The new format is a pain. The top actual news stories are buried underneath a bunch of pinned “interest” posts that seem to stay pinned forever. Please go back to the breaking news at the top. Otherwise I’ll just use another news app. This one isn’t worth the time it takes to find a single news story that isn’t stale. In fact, the old app would tell me when I’d seen all of the days’ recent news. Now it’s just a random list of old stories..Version: 8.22.0

Used to be my go to appUpdated for new revisionThe new app is much worse than the app it allegedly updated. More ads and harder to review top stories. My original review: The info is up to date and like the ability to read info especially in a public place. But the Live portion rarely works and the ads are most annoying. Love Eyewitness News team and was happy to have them on the go. Too bad the promise doesn't deliver..Version: 6.0.1

Nice appBrief news but screen scrolls up suddenly as I'm reading through news content; otherwise, yeah, it's good.Version: 4.1.0

Great app but jump to bottom of story annoyingI’m a big fan of ABC News and Eyewitness News in New York. And the app is a great way to keep up with the stories when I don’t have time to watch the news But, when you open the story and start to read, the app just jumps to the bottom of the story for no reason. And you have to scroll back up to the top to actually start reading. Not just random - every time. More often than not, I just click out of the story I tried reporting this on the Feedback form, but that page doesn’t work. I’ve seen a few other reviews were people were having this problem as well. Please fix this - it’s really annoying.Version: 6.3.0

Loading issuesLately I’ve been having issues with ABC news app. When I use the app I’m able to read the headlines ..The video, pictures and weather is always loading ... I turn phone off for a little that doesn’t seem to help.. my phone is updated .. please look into this issue..away from home this is my only option 😞.Version: 7.19

Nice App, but crash/close downIn fact this is a very useful app that keeps me up with what’s going on right around me but the big issues with it is the app crashes or just closes by it self and when you click on it again it starts up like you just open it. Pls can the tech group do something about this do we can continue enjoy this good app.Version: 7.5

Mary PoppinsWhy oh why this advert keeps popping up and I don’t want it this never happens before you’re last update keep it.Version: 6.2.0

Can I scroll down without being “click-baited“There are too many ad’s that are apparently relishing on my fingertips not being smooth enough to scroll down in peace. Every half an inch I “accidentally click“ on a less than meaningful ad that takes me elsewhere without me asking for it. Time to calibrate your page please. Videos taking very long to load, or loading in the background somehow while I'm *watching another news feed* from same app..Version: 7.23.0

Flooded with ads and link baitUsed to love this app. But now so many stories seem like link bait. A page will have two lines about the story buried within tons of ads and link bait. I don't mind some ads, but when it takes me twelve pages to read what is actually a small paragraph, that's ridiculous. Short interviews and videos are unnecessarily divided up into multiple clips, each requiring a 30 second ad. App deleted, I like abc news but I can get news much easier with the other major network apps..Version: 5.3.3

TvOS app is buggyI like this app and use it daily to watch the local news. However its bugs are driving me crazy and might make me switch: - The worst bug is that after about 9 minutes, the stream will stop, cut to commercial, and then come back to a different video. Every single day I have to go back, reselect the video, and scrub to where i left off because it doesn’t correctly resume either. - This is made worse by the fact that the scrubber is extremely slippery, making it really hard to fast forward to the exact spot you left off - When you open the app, and ad will play. When you start a video, another ad will play at the as the other ad.Version: 7.24.0

BilanderI too can no longer use this app- it seems to have frozen on me; the weather is permanently three days old. I can’t get anything- have tried to cancel and re-install but that does not help-I don’t know what happened-I miss it-Before all this happened it started where notifications would come up and then when I clicked on them everything just disappeared. I couldn’t get them in the app or find the stories in the app at all & things were not being updated-it was good until lately-no stars! And this piece of garbage won’t even let me send in my review without putting in at least one star! I don’t want to give it any stars -it doesn’t work at all-it’s frozen now and it has been giving me grief for weeks! And I miss Lee Goldberg’s weather reports!!!.Version: 7.17.1

Going out of my wayIf you’re like me you have to out of your way to take the time to provide a bad review. Yet here we are. One star for the latest version of this app. First reason is there’s no longer a full screen option. The borders the app creates when playing a video don’t adjust to actual screen size so, at least on an XR or 11, the full video isn’t visible. Second reason is the video can’t be zoomed. That’s a no brainer. The third is there’s no way to cast it to anything. My pref (because I have a couple of them) is my FireTV Stick. Why cast? See reasons 1 and 2, above. Whatever the developers think they gained with the new version they more than lost…including this former audience member..Version: 8.18.0
