We have been using this for quite a while since we cut the cord on cable TV. The content plays fine, it’s the ads that most of the time get stuck in a constant download state. Nothing plays, this morning I started watching the 6am broadcast (at 8am). When it went to an ad I started cooking breakfast, after 10min of no sound I checked and the app was stuck on a 30sec ad and the download circle just spun. Ten minutes later it’s still spinning. This ridiculous behavior is frustrating and unnecessary. Your content plays fine and buffers nicely, why can’t you do the same with the ads you force us to watch? Done with ABC until this is fixed. Goodbye.

Used to live by this app but lately every notification I click on 1) takes me to the wrong article and 2) auto plays a video. Auto plays over zoom calls, auto plays over podcasts, auto plays over phone calls... I would just like to READ my news please with the option of playing a video if I was super interested. I’m moving on to a different app that will hopefully give me my free will back. (Wish me luck.)

This app used to be great. You could click on a story and you would be taken directly to that story. You click on a story and you have to scroll through all the other stories. It’s awful.

The update isn’t great. The videos play by themselves. There doesn’t seem to be a way to stop them from playing automatically. Please fix this! Or tell me how. I’ve tried to no avail. Edit: I prefer ABC 7 Bay Area for my local news. The newscasters are the best!! But the app… I get a notification on my phone about a story. I click on the story and it takes me to the app and then I have to search for the story. It’s a bit annoying.

Fix you app. Please

This app keeps refreshing when Im in the Discover tab. Yet there’s no refresh the news. Additionally, under any tab in this app, there’s not much news and most of it is old reports. I’m going back to watching the local channel broadcast live on my antenna TV when I am home.

Always a couple of recent clickbait stories, all the rest recycled old headlines. Waste of time. And often the video doesn’t match the story title, just add after add or livestream drivel. Disappointing app.

Great reporting. App is rarely functional.

I watch daily. I really enjoy the morning show. Real people and love the intelligence of the news crew. I’m going to miss Kumasi. I love the three together. They blend so well. Represents the community in San Francisco.
