ABC News - US & World News

Really want to like this app cause I believe ABC news has top tier reporting, and I really appreciate how they're committed to making free content (can't find that with most news sources). But the app itself does not function. The interface is fairly easy to navigate and the look is professional, but it doesn't work. The app will automatically close and crash any time I open most articles. It'd be better to just go to their website. Also PLEASE add dark mode for the love of God and my eyes

Was working fine until the newest update. Started by crashing just when I opened articles, but now the entire appncrashes every time I try to open it.

4/18: It constantly crashes on my Nokia 2 with Android 7.1 ... UPDATE 2/7/22: It still crashes when I open certain news articles with Android 10. It worked great for awhile but now it just crashes all the time ... I'M DONE AND WILL DELETE IT and go to another news source

Crashes EVERY time I click on a story to read it!Used to be my go-to source for all news,can't use it for that though when it crashes all the time!Very disappointing&extremely frustrating!

The app is junk. I want to use it to keep up with US news. Clicking on a headline may result in a blank screen, may result in an app crash. Either way, no access the ABC's news reporting.

It works, but the classify even the smallest story to be breaking news, even news they reported the day before. Tired of being interrupted for trivial, old news.

3/24/2022 crashing of app when attempting to open any story still happening. Is this going to get fixed? 3/17/2022 App has continued to crash for more than a week when attempting to open any news story. Completely unusable until fixed.

App kept crashing and now doesn't open at all. This has been going on for weeks. ABC needs to fix their app.

It keeps crashing I have installed removed and installed again. It keeps crashing. Cannot read anything I love abc news but I may have to do something else because it does not allow me to read anything

Great app until recently. Now constantly crashes when I click to read an article and can't send feedback when the app crashes. Please fix!!!!

Used to enjoy this app but lately it crashes on a regular basis...just opening a simple article is next to impossible. At this point the app is only good for headlines. Very disappointed.

Constant crashes and new versions haven't fixed the issue. Using my local news app instead but probably will just get the NBC or CBS news apps as they work without issue.

Constantly crashes, rarely can read a news article without app shutting down. Waste of time even if it is free, find a better news app.

The app worked great until a few weeks ago. It keeps crashing when trying to read articles. Samsung S21. Very frustrating.

Crashes a LOT. I uninstall & reinstall trying to get it to stop crashing, but sometimes it doesnt help. Other news apps work fine.

I can't read any of the articles, when I click on an article the app closes. This has been happening for a couple of weeks. Still an ongoing issue!

Aug 19 - Just downloaded/installed newest version. Installing was successful and the app does not crash as it did in previous versions (thanks guys). As for the adds in the videos it is no different than watching videos on my computer. I just turn off the sound and wait. May 3 - just uninstalled latest version - shuts down within 5 seconds of opening app. Not good, ABC News programmers :-(. Don't waste your time installing this app until it is fixed. Using Samsung S8 Android smartphone.

Enjoyed this app in the past, but now every time I try to access an article it crashes.

The font is so light and small I can't read anything on this app. It appears that the app doesn’t have a dark mode. These problems make the app worthless to me.

It is an OK app if you want the top 1 or 2 news stories. The videos attached to the stories almost never match the article itself. Some of the time the videos show a "not compatible with your device" error message. I have a Galaxy S9 plus. There have to be better news apps out there. Delete.

Trying to watch a video is a long and sometimes frustrating experience today tried watching 4 videos. All four videos I had to watch the same commercial, i wasnt interested the first time, or the 2nd time, or the third time, and definitly not the forth time i had to watch it without the ability to skip. I got to see one of the four videos, 2 of the 4 videos i got a run down of today's news, and on the forth vodeo i got and endless stream of ads. So if you want to only read the news this app wrks

Not user friendly, even when you just want to scroll or view clips, and not accessible unless you pay for your TV, though you can access free on regular TV. I'm disappointed. I expected more from ABC, though they have become more generic and seemingly lazy over the years, so maybe not so surprised. They seem to just repeat the stories of the week. No true investigative or revealing news.

The app has two serious issues. First, it autoplays content and there is no way to disable this horrible setting. Picture me being in a nice silent doctor's office trying to pass the time by catching up on world events. Suddenly my phone starts blaring out audio to everyone in the room because the app started autoplaying something. Turn that off! No one wants automatically playing sound! Second, the app ignores my phone's settings about screen rotation and rotates whether I want it to or not. Phones let you lock their rotation for a reason. This is the ONLY app I've ever seen that ignores the phone's settings and always allows rotation. Android and Google should ban this app from their store until these basic yet serious issues are fixed.

5 ⭐ 1 ⭐ = 3 ⭐ App itself, 1 star. The sharing icon has just disappeared. Have they changed it to an app you can't share from or is it just me? Videos have always had issues but I'm a reader so that doesn't bother me. But reading a great story and not being able to share it does. Papers like NYTimes, Washington Post have great apps, surely Disney can do better than this app. Now for their content I give 5 stars, it's not bias like so many others are. Toodalo ABC.

Used to enjoy ABC News. Now it crashes all the time. Rather pointless to get notifications when I can't read the articles!

App keeps stopping on opening of articles. Problem has been occurring over one week. Force shutdown of app does not fix. No app updates.

Decent. I mostly see news. But I can read articles too. I say it is good. Not far left. More moderate the news coverage. I will just add I enjoy World News Now and GMA.

Since the update, every time you open an article, the site crashes. Please fix!!

Opening a story to read immediately crashes this app. Probably a faulty app update or incompatibility with recent Android update.

Consistently keep crashing. I've reinstall this twice and yet the problem persist. Any solutions?
