6abc Philadelphia

The app itself works well on my phone, but I find the slide show of recent stories and the continually changing text about them very annoying. I am quite capable of scanning the headlines from the app. I don't need to have them distractingly in every article.

I thought when I downloaded this app that I would be able to watch Good Morning America live but it seems I cannot it's on Channel 6 not sure of why it won't come on and also World News Tonight.

The app shows news articles that when you open them becomes really annoying to watch. It keeps getting cut off by ad interruptions. Once in a while you might be able to view a news video. There have also been times when I've decided to read instead of watching but the ad interruptions have not allowed me to finish reading at least one article. This app unfortunately needs work, and that's sad when you live in the Philadelphia area.

As of late app won't connect. Uninstalled and installed still won't open! WTH!

I really like many aspects of the app: the range of local, national, and world news, the ability to fine tune push notifications, and the general user experience. Unfortunately, when installed, easily the number one app in battery consumption. Make it more efficient and I'll be back.

While I'm reading a story a popup for the video of *the same story* appears at the top of the screen. I can close it by clicking the X but as soon as I touch the screen to scroll it pops up again. Waste of space and just annoying because someone obviously has not thought it through. If user says they don't want to see something, respect their choice at least for the duration of that story. If you have no intention of respecting the choice, just don't offer it.

No problems with the 'Watch LIVE' option. When you attempt to click on the rebroadcast videos, you get three(3) stories (videos) in and, the third story (video) just repeats as if on a loop. The former format would play the rebroadcast videos in chronological order by date & time. PLEASE go back to the former rebroadcast video format or, at the very least; STOP (fix) the looping of specific videos. Thank you in advance. Avid Actin News viewer from birth.

Notifications from app are appropriate and timely, but clicking them to read the associated article never works properly, and returning to the home page to find the article sometimes results in the article not being there. When the app works properly, it's very good. However, there are glaring issues that need attention.

It's infuriating when you shove ads in my face that seemingly function flawlessly. Yet every news video that I try to watch, doesn't play properly. If it wasn't for the capability to read the article I would uninstall this app in a second. Remember, people are getting their news from YouTube, save journalism, and make the app work as intended.

Way too many ads!! Over 30 minutes of straight ads!!

Breaking news is a joke.. my phone alerts me that it will be a beautiful day with temperatures in the mid 60's. Is that really breaking news? I don't think so.

I like 6abc news so I downloaded the app. It hardly works. Whenever I click on a notification I get a blank screen, and nothing happens or, I get a "app stopped working" notice. It only works if I go directly into the app by tapping the icon. Then I have to search for the story I wanted. It's annoying.

Too many videos open in a small window. Way too many ads when trying to display breaking news or weather.

Decent app for news, but why is there no search function in the app? It exists on the website, so I have to imagine this was a conscious choice. It makes for a poor user experience.

I wish i could find the same news stories seen on action news easily on the app, instead it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack with no searching capability..

Your competitors you get to use your whole screen when they come on the phone with your network it doesn't fill the whole screen it's just a little square

I cant get any of the reports that reference Ukrainian or Russian news to load. It instantly freezes. Ive tryed a fresh install.

I've always liked the content from the 6abc team and they've been my go to for local news foe years but this app itself is super glitch. Opening articles from my phone's notifications page almost always fails, manually searching for articles in the UI is combersome, the share button has never worked for me since installing the app and it often crashes on me km general. I don't have these issies on the iOS vesrion i have on my iPad but this android version has some serious glitches.

I enjoy the app to the channel I grew up watching local news on

Love Action News! The only news I watch!! Wish the TV (Roku) option didn't have the annoying pop ups to other stories. I chose to watch the news instead of the other stuff. Hate the NJM commercials!! I have to hit silent every time they come on. Wish there was a commercial free option just so I don't have to hear these very annoying commercials. Would miss the much loved Head and Shoulders commercials but the NJM? They are now more annoying than the Geico and Progressive commercials of old.

Too Messy. Too many ads. And I cannot view a story without having to hear or see the video so I do not find it to be user-friendly. After I begging to read an article but have to close down for whatever reason in the middle of reading it, the article disappears. I keep scrolling down and it says I'm all caught up.

It is ahame this app is so buggy. Have reinstalled the app several times over a few months. App still does not work properly. Content doesn't load, freezes my phone, share feature is unavailable. I like 6ABC News but will load competitor's product and likely switch viewing to NBC or CBS for local news too. Very disappointing.

This app crashes more than any other app on my phone. I open the app, scroll a bit down, and the app hangs. After a while, Android asks me if I want to wait or close the app. It has been like this for years. Even on my previous phones, the app has the tendency to hang. Please get some decent app developers!

This app seems to be de-evolving daily. No one is "manning the ship." Live broadcasts are late or don't come on at all. Videos of previously recorded stories don't play. Stories are updated in text but, attached to previously recorded videos that predate the update. Action News is my favorite local news show but, the app is a mess, currently.

App never plays video. Ads play fine, but then it just sits there. This has been an issue with this app for a long as I've had it. Uninstalled it, reinstalled it. Always the same result across three different generations of Samsung Galaxy phones.

Love the news station, but the app is glitchy. Clicking on notifications does not result in bringing up the correct news story. It either is blank or gives you the last story you read. The weather maps never display real time.
