Feb 15, 2021 I love ABC7! The only thing is Alex on the weather, they need to adjust his microphone. It is very annoying to hear him. Every time he gulps for air. He is good looking and a good reporter. Other than that ABC is my go to channel. -
My inability to log in
Apr 3, 2020 What’s going on ? All of a sudden I have to sign / log in ? Never had to do that before—NOT 1 TIME & you didn’t recognize my email and or password ? Ok , I know everyone’s stressed, but come on !!!!!i And even though I created per your request , a new account , I still am unable to stream on my iPhone at this time. I will NOT attempt to try and log in again, as either this is a joke or you don’t care for 3rd generation LA born and raised Americans to tune in to channel 7. No problem.

Oct 13, 2018 I was Born in California and grew up with channel 7 eyewitness news as a teenager I remember watching Christine Lund as one and the news casters and I continue to watch it today even though in 2010 I move to Pocatello Idaho our news is not nearly as professional and lacks giving information of other parts of the world.

Local news is great, full screen pop ups are a bummer
Jul 12, 2019 This app has improved. I can’t remember the last time the app jumped around multiple times per article due to more ads loading. And I think they might have finally fixed the auto play videos on some articles that would play despite my volume switch being set to silent. But the latest full screen ad pop-ups that occur on nearly every article with a delay of about 2 seconds is the latest irritation provided by this app. If it wasn’t the best source for local news in my area, I would stop using it immediately.more

Fact
May 24, 2020 This is a pure political channel now. I used to love 7. However spreading misinformation has became the norm. No more reporters doing a professional job. It’s opinion based reality show. I used to watch cause I didn’t hear about the political side of things. Who cares anymore. It’s all a game and you are making us a part of this political war. I don’t want a war I want to live like I have and die as free as I lived. Back off. Tell the facts, not the opinions. Facts of the virus. Kids 99.9% unaffected, 50% of all deaths related to Wuhan China virus were because of chomp and news on cramming elderly positive patients with unaffected patients. This is not political, this is poor judgment by governors given the trust of the people for which it stands. You the media turn it into a circus. We aren’t stupid people we see what they did. The guilty always deflect the blame. That’s how you know they knew what was going to happen. They did this on purpose in my OPINION. To inflate the toll and scare people into submission. Which has been done. Allowing you the media to be accessories to political murder. You will be held accountable once this is over. I’m already hearing about lawsuits from big names and big money against companies like Disney, Fox News, cnn, and the list goes on. Local tv won’t be left out especially in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Michigan, and New Jersey l.more -

SOUND IS AWFUL!!!
Nov 28, 2020 It’s taken me a year of watching ABC7 to realize why it seems so unprofessional and amateur—the sound is just so bad. 1) The levels bounce around like crazy. I’m constantly adjusting the volume because it’s too quiet, then too loud, etc. Ever heard of a Mixbus compressor? 2) Some news story have NO narration at all. Just the ambient sounds of shots. Who does that? 3) The sound guy clearly smokes too much weed. During one of Newsome’s monologues the volume would drop randomly. Then it would be too loud. Then too quiet. I could hear him trying to find the right level. Then there was a delay on Newsome’s voice! A straight up psychedelic echo on the governor’s voice. I’m sure he was laughing it up but I was trying to listen to what was being said. It’s kind of important. 4) This would be forgivable if it happened once in a while, but it happens on every live stream. I leave it on while I work at home. It’s truly the most annoying thing ever. It is unlike any other news app on Roku and Apple TV—the sound issues make it seem cheap and unprofessional compared to CBS / ABC / NBC news apps.more -
Jan 20, 2021 App always freezes when opening news articles. The share button doesn't work unless you go back to the home page and navigate back to the article. The ads are super intrusive and will play even if you exit out of it. -
New update BUT STILL HAVE 60 sec ad 🤬🤯 before you get to hear about the breaking news
Oct 31, 2020 With every new update I feel like there’s more and more ads!! Proof that money out ways public awareness health and safety Been watching for this new update for days , was so excited when it came and in your description box you said we’ve heard all the concerns and we fixed him and then some... no you didn’t!!! Make us sit through a 60+ second ad before getting the breaking news story which you give for concern of the general public... to everyone it looks like you’re more worried about getting your ad money before notifying public. Ever so many different ways to have ad placements that do not conflict with breaking news news conferences which you guys already know because they’re all over your app they pop up nonstop. Sad and disappointing when needing to have a 60 second ad about nothing before we can get to news that can potential he save lives so grossly disappointingmore

ABC7 news app
Aug 5, 2019 This would be a great app if only I could stay connected while I am reading a news story. I usually get disconnected at least 5-10 times while reading a news story. If I am inclined to continue reading, I have to get back into the app(as if for the first time,) scroll down (again) to my story, select the story, then scroll down (again)to where I stopped reading (before being disconnected.) I have to repeat this process 5-10 times before I can finish reading a news story. I don’t have this problem while watching a video though. The app is great for keeping updated on breaking news.more -

HATE the new Upgrade!
Nov 16, 2017 I am really hoping the news app is put back to how it looked prior to being upgraded. The new upgrade forces individuals to read/scroll one story at a time. This is so annoying. Previously readers were able to scroll and view all stories at once and select which to open and read. Hate the new feature SOO so much I deleted the app from my phone. So now I am forced to obtain my news from multiple news outlets. Such an inconvenience and shame because I really like your news and really liked your easy to maneuver app. I really hope changes are made to going back to how the app was previouslymore

KABC News App
Nov 6, 2017 I don't know if I'm expecting too much from this app or not but when it hear something happening (especially in the local LA area) I often want to hear updates or more information. I have found that KABC doesn't post breaking news or updates until the television news is on. I generally now go straight to Google to keep current. 😔 I just realized that I never sent this review so I’m able to downgrade my review. I’m more frustrated than ever with the newest app. I used to be able to check news in that particular area (i.e, Los Angeles, California, National, Weather, etc). Just now I wanted to see something that had happened in Northern California. I found the California section. There are 2 features. One from 22 hours ago and the other from about 3 days ago. If I want current news, I would hope it would be on the app-not old news.more
What’s Groovy
New update: Re-installed after I heard of a second new update! Yay no more automatic video playing! No more stopping my music and most of all I get to read my need again!
Old:I seldom delete apps but I have to I can't have my music turn off everytime I try to read the news in this app. No one can watch all those videos and if we could we wouldn't be turning to this app we would watch the actual news. I'm super disappointed. Most of us use this app at work or class or places where we want to know quickly what is happening. ABC 7 please please change the format !! I want my app back.

What’s Subpar
The app works well but you cannot remove the number of notifications. So they just collect and don't start over each day. Also, it doesn't let you break down the kind of stories that you want to get. It just breaks it down by area.

Advertising
I know you need to show advertisement for $$ but you need a skip after 10 seconds and a lot if times it will play adds twice before you can see the news . Also every news clip video We pay shouldn’t have to watch the same add over again very annoying . -
If you live in Southern California this APP is a plus. Weather, Sports and the local gathering.

Ever so many different ways to have ad placements that do not conflict with breaking news news conferences which you guys already know because they’re all over your app they pop up nonstop. Sad and disappointing when needing to have a 60 second ad about nothing before we can get to news that can potential he save lives so grossly disappointing -
Too many ads, does not function well.. the stories are all sensationalized by the headlines.. I wasted too much time with all the notifications.. can't seem to find a reliable news source... just the facts please

KABC News App
I don't know if I'm expecting too much from this app or not but when it hear something happening (especially in the local LA area) I often want to hear updates or more information. I have found that KABC doesn't post breaking news or updates until the television news is on. I generally now go straight to Google to keep current. 😔 I just realized that I never sent this review so I’m able to downgrade my review. I’m more frustrated than ever with the newest app. I used to be able to check news in that particular area (i.e, Los Angeles, California, National, Weather, etc). Just now I wanted to see something that had happened in Northern California. I found the California section. There are 2 features. One from 22 hours ago and the other from about 3 days ago. If I want current news, I would hope it would be on the app-not old news. -
Issues. Click on notification, app freezes for 45 secs. Deleted.

What’s new is bad!
Easy navigation and a stunning new display?!? No and NO. Whoever designed this update has clearly never actually read news on the app. The navigation is cumbersome on both iPad and iPhone versions. Gone is the simple left or right swipe to “page” through the news once the first article is selected. On the iPhone you have to keep going back to the main page to select each item while also swiping up to get to the articles you have to keep selecting individually. The iPad version navigation is only slightly better but worse overall because it eliminates the back and forth between articles and the main page but does it by permanently commandeering a large chunk of the left side of the screen for the article list leaving an awkward and narrow reading page.

Where is the doplar ???
I miss the live doplar radar. Please advise. Thank you
-
The share button doesn't work most of the time. Every story no matter how short has a 30 second video ad that starts unmuted. The app takes a ridiculously long time to open (I'm guessing it's trying to load the 30 second video ad).
-
App always freezes when opening news articles. The share button doesn't work unless you go back to the home page and navigate back to the article. The ads are super intrusive and will play even if you exit out of it.

Watch the stories be edited and change before your eyes...but why? Are they too quick to publish then the boss says "Oh no you can't let people have all this information, only the information we want them to have?!?! The Google Gods might get mad and pull the plug on us"! Yup that's what they do! What how my comments disappear....*****proof *****

HATE the new Upgrade!
I am really hoping the news app is put back to how it looked prior to being upgraded. The new upgrade forces individuals to read/scroll one story at a time. This is so annoying. Previously readers were able to scroll and view all stories at once and select which to open and read. Hate the new feature SOO so much I deleted the app from my phone. So now I am forced to obtain my news from multiple news outlets. Such an inconvenience and shame because I really like your news and really liked your easy to maneuver app. I really hope changes are made to going back to how the app was previously -
App runs slow circles to many adds during important time

Funny Sampson
I like the App 80% of the time. The 20% dislike with the App is about watching the video of the news stories. When you are listening and watching the video, the news anchor is talking and a voice in an ad is talking at the same time. Sometimes the ad is running longer than the news story. It is very distracting. Because of this issue, my only option is to read all of the news stories. This is an update. I am now liking the app 40% of the time. Why? The app keeps closing while scrolling to the next story. I just might have to delete the app for a while. FIX THIS PROBLEM, PLEASE. -
Decent app with annoyances
I generally like this news application with the exception of looking at the embedded photos. When viewing on my iPhone X, I cannot close the photo due to the “x” for closing the pop up is to the right of the top sensor notch of the display and is not clickable. I have to force close the app to & then relaunch it to get back to the story I was reading. Not a big deal but at that point I just move on to another one. I’ve contacted them via the support a few months ago and did not hear back from them & as of today it still has the same problem in the UI. -
The news on the app is fine, the problem is the advertising. No matter how short the video accompanying a story is there is almost always a 30-second ad that plays before every single one. I spend more time watching their ads than I do watching the actual news. I understand they need to use ads to generate revenue, but the amount and frequency is pretty absurd compared to other competitive news applications from the area. It just kills the experience and makes it impossible to get news quickly.

App loads stories RIDUCLOUSLY slow. By the time it opens, the story has already broken and put back together. Might consider just turning twitter notifications on for quicker access.

Fact
This is a pure political channel now. I used to love 7. However spreading misinformation has became the norm. No more reporters doing a professional job. It’s opinion based reality show. I used to watch cause I didn’t hear about the political side of things. Who cares anymore. It’s all a game and you are making us a part of this political war. I don’t want a war I want to live like I have and die as free as I lived. Back off. Tell the facts, not the opinions. Facts of the virus. Kids 99.9% unaffected, 50% of all deaths related to Wuhan China virus were because of chomp and news on cramming elderly positive patients with unaffected patients. This is not political, this is poor judgment by governors given the trust of the people for which it stands. You the media turn it into a circus. We aren’t stupid people we see what they did. The guilty always deflect the blame. That’s how you know they knew what was going to happen. They did this on purpose in my OPINION. To inflate the toll and scare people into submission. Which has been done. Allowing you the media to be accessories to political murder. You will be held accountable once this is over. I’m already hearing about lawsuits from big names and big money against companies like Disney, Fox News, cnn, and the list goes on. Local tv won’t be left out especially in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Michigan, and New Jersey l. -
SOUND IS AWFUL!!!
It’s taken me a year of watching ABC7 to realize why it seems so unprofessional and amateur—the sound is just so bad. 1) The levels bounce around like crazy. I’m constantly adjusting the volume because it’s too quiet, then too loud, etc. Ever heard of a Mixbus compressor? 2) Some news story have NO narration at all. Just the ambient sounds of shots. Who does that? 3) The sound guy clearly smokes too much weed. During one of Newsome’s monologues the volume would drop randomly. Then it would be too loud. Then too quiet. I could hear him trying to find the right level. Then there was a delay on Newsome’s voice! A straight up psychedelic echo on the governor’s voice. I’m sure he was laughing it up but I was trying to listen to what was being said. It’s kind of important. 4) This would be forgivable if it happened once in a while, but it happens on every live stream. I leave it on while I work at home. It’s truly the most annoying thing ever. It is unlike any other news app on Roku and Apple TV—the sound issues make it seem cheap and unprofessional compared to CBS / ABC / NBC news apps. -
New update BUT STILL HAVE 60 sec ad 🤬🤯 before you get to hear about the breaking news

None of the videos plays after opening them. Very frustrating...

Gets worse the longer you have it!!!
I actually had this news app for a long time. It started off great!! Everything was functional and simple. As time went on, update after update, the app just got horrible. I don’t mind too many ads, but they were getting to be more rampant. The video ads that would pop up after clicking on a news article or video would freeze and cause the actual video I was interested in watching to play back choppy or with delayed Audio. Bottom line is it became very frustrating to use the app and get news. I deleted it about two years ago. Now looking around for another one, my guess is they are all the same by now. -
Simply Terrible
KABC- Please look at the app ratings since the November upgrade. Mostly positive before the upgrade, now mostly negative reviews ...one star. Everybody is complaining about the same issues. Dump this “New Coke” and go back to “Classic Coke”, please! The new app format is terrible. I used to be able to glance at the app a few times an hour to look for subject matter I was interested in. Now I need to scroll through the whole series of stories, mostly subject matter that doesn't appeal to me, to find a topic that I would be interested in. Now I look at the KABC7 only once or twice a day. Swallow your pride and please revert back to the previous format.
