This app has too many issues. It's difficult to expand the screen to make it full screen. A changing the phone from portrait to landscape causes the whole page to refresh and then you lose the video that's playing. Way too cumbersome to be effective.

When I get notifications for stories, I click the notification assuming it will take me to that story. It doesn't. What is the point of sending notifications if they don't even link to the story? This has been going on for awhile...

Streaming Commercials????? Using the streaming portion of the app, you have to watch anywhere between 7 to 10 commercials in order to watch one segment of news. And it's usually not really news! The news articles are fine, but are not updated per time of publishing. I'll scroll down and see an article that is listed as posted yesterday or days ago, and it will be updated today. ??? Why do that? Repost it with today's date if you're going to update it. The news anchors are awesome, not the app!

The app is barely useful. Notifications links rarely, if ever, take you to the article in question. Must scroll through tons of out of sequence articles, many old news, to find the relevant story if lucky. Deleted app for the second time. Hoped it would have been fixed by now but not.

App doesn't work every time you open the app it will stay open for a few minutes and kicks you out. I have to uninstall it and reinstalled the app. Since i did the update the app hasn't been working properly, I also reported the problem multiple times no results. Please fix this problem thank you.

The commercials that run on this app are so loud and frustrating, I'm sure you will quit using it like I have. Every time a commercial airs, you must run for the remote to turn the sound down. When programming returns, it is barely audible. I'm sure we're not the only ones with this problem. Fix it and we will return to using me up. This is the main reason you only got two stars from us.

Very good news content concerning important local, national and international topics. Weather coverage and alerts during a recent weather event that impacted the Tampa Bay Area was superb. I am still learning about how to use some of the features of the app and am admittedly smart phone technology challenged but am already impressed.

This app is the worst and a annoyance more than anything else. It notifies you of news but when you tap on it it takes you to the site and you have to look for it among other posts they have made that day. It's always been like this and I waited over a year for them to fix it but nope they are ok with it being the annoying app that it is

Notifications do not open the app properly to the page it refers to; news stories within the app don't load. Don't waste your time bringing this newscast to your smartphone because it doesn't work and will only cause aggravation.

I always have problems watching their videos. either they don't run or they froze. Still with the same problems trying to see news and this app keeps freezing. Years with the same problem.

Not live stream, everything is an hour ago. On ROKU it is better... Way too many ads for old info

Best news app I have on my phone and I have 4 local news apps. Most informative up-to-date with current stories breaking news and weather. Especially grateful for up-to-date current weather as I work outside a lot. Great job!

Great app. Only problem is after I finish and close a story half way down the page, it takes me back to the top of the page instead of on to the next story. Small problem but annoying.

ABC has always been the best at the news!!! ... Wendy Ryan is always beautiful and Dennis Phillips? ... He is the greatest at weather and honesty, and love those suspenderz!!! ... LoL ... 💜🤩💜

So, reporting on local news is pretty light. Selatoius headline leads to "Man Dies. More to come." There's nothing more to come! There's no reporting! There's bad grammar and incomplete sentences. If they get an editor, I'll revise this review. Otherwise, check out the CBS affiliate app.

So. I like ABC Action news, long time, , but the pummelling of repetitive self-commercials will cause me to avoid it most if the time. Still, I will ENDURE it for some of your stories.

They give good headlines and the follow-up is real. Easy to choose which stories you want to follow without sifting through those you don't.

Push alerts stop working after 2-3 weeks everytime I have to uninstall and reinstall the app. Getting very annoyed with the quality that they will not fix.

Kim. M. May 24, 2019     

Almost all of your News feeds are Videos!! I would rather read because not always convenient for videos and uses too much data! 😡

Crashes and freezes. A lot. And replays the same commercial over and over and over again. Get it together ABC.

Eri. B. Sep 27, 2019     

The app works great. My only complaint is that it doesn't seem to update very quickly and can be filled with old stories.

Pri. S. Jun 12, 2020     

So far I like ABC Action News APP. I can set alerts on my favorite topics. I can see Live News. Only down fall is ads but some of them you can skip.

Perfect action news app. Exactly what I was looking for in my local area. I highly recommend for anyone who wants news on the go. Thank you & keep up the good work.

Jos. S. Jun 7, 2021     

I like the app because it shows the stories and let's me scroll through them. They are not trying to be fancy line other news apps. This is my go to app for news

content refreshes at inopportune times and the article doesn't always accompany the picture.

Mic. G. Mar 19, 2021     

Mind-numbing endless repetition of the same commercials over and over and over again, with a little news in between...you'll want to stab yourself in the face with a fork to make it stop
