WABC Eyewitness News

Got this for local breaking news alerts. I don't like the alerts because the text is cut off. It shows the first line of the alert but the second line only shows the tip of the words. Also tapping on the alerts only opens the app and not the corresponding article. What's the point?

CRASHES constantly. VERY finicky. Will not show stream until several minutes into the broadcast: must start well in advance to not miss the first 2 stories (most important). Crashes CONSTANTLY. Have to close out and restart. Can't actually GET the news or weather. Other NY stations have a functional streaming app... why can't ABC7?

I was born in 1956 in New York Live it in Brooklyn. A little Town Called Williamsburg. Great place Back in the 50s And 60s 70s where good. Got A good Education. Respectable to other people. Which my mother and father have shown me. Went back 10 years ago. There are some places that I thought That will never change. Life is like that. You think that everything is going To last forever. But it doesn't. I'm 65 and good to 66. I love Brooklyn know matter what. My heart ❤️ and part of my life is.

Good local news resource. Some stability issues w alerts. But fine when just browsing the application.

This app works for me I can stream the news live at the times that the news comes on but there are so many commercials in between I feel like I'm barely seeing any news and when i start the stream it starts with commercials and cuts the story playing in half. So I'll keep the app and hope the next update will make it better if not I'll look for a better news app

This is the best news app! I moved from the city in 2017 and I regret it!! This app keeps me informed with my city!!

I absolutely hate the very annoying ads when I just want to open and read a news segment or story. It's the same annoying ad everytime! STOP IT! It's spoiling my enjoyment of this otherwise excellent app. Yes, I can "x out" of this awful ad and video autoplay, but I have to do this EVERY SINGLE time. Sometimes, I just want to read a story, not watch a video with the annoying ad that comes before it.

Any article you click on automatically starts blaring a comercial followed by a tv news video. HEY!!! Maybe I just want to read the text and then choose if I want to tolerate the ad to see the talking heads do their thing instead of having it forced on me. I started out giving this app 3 stars. On second thought, I think I'll change it to 2 stars.

This app is awful. I get constant notifications and 90% of the time if I click on it, the app opens and I just get a white screen, nothing loads. If something does load the other 10% of the time, it's never the story corresponding to the notification. Going to uninstall. It's not worth the time or trouble to be interrupted by the notifications that don't help me gain any information.

Just wonderfully to see and read news from around the world, and is free of charges, Thank you again for your service's

It stinks always making changes, with every new change comes the same old problem it keeps disconnecting. I have a valid account and I have good internet both on my phone and at home. Why does this keep happening and what can I do if anyting to fix it? It's turning me off to watch and channel 7. It's very frustrating to be watching the news and cooking, going back and forth playing this game of green light red light blank screen, it has to stop.

This is my favorite news app. I used to breeze threw the stories before bed rather quickly, now with back to back 20 and 30 second commercials for each and every article. They take long to load even with good reception. I completely lost interest and it's very disappointing.. like I lost something.

This Application Needs Work!!! Streaming Is 2 Mins Off , And Doesn't Coincide With Regular TV Programming

Biggest problem with this app is when you sign up for breaking news notifications, it pushes ABC'S weather and programming notes daily. Not severe weather notifications; literally a daily "hey watch our forecast". This is not breaking news. Not only that, when there is breaking news, the notification does not take you to the corresponding story. The app often freezes.

Horrible. I get breaking news and updates push notifications but when I click to open the app takes several long minutes to load. So much so I dont bother and just go to the news website to read the article. Would Uninstall but I use it for just the breaking news push notifications so I know to put on or Google the headline since the app is garbage

This app works like someone programmed it on an online web tutorial in they're kitchen. Very amateurish. I can't find or replay previous news casts. It only has that little live stream frame and the rest is poor edit cuts.

Love the news alerts but wish the share button worked. Also, when I get a news alert and click to read more about that story, it opens up to a different story. It's frustrating because I have to close the app, reopen it and manually search for the story.

I am unable to "manage my news" or "manage notifications" fron the settings area. The loading animation keeps spinning and nothing renders when I tap into either area. The app overall is really well designed but if im unable to customize my experience then the notifications become more of an annoyance. I'm hopeful that its just a temporary issue otherwise an uninstall is a must.

Downloaded today and could not see a complete video. Too many frozen episodes and black out screens. I am not crazy about it although my Favorite News channel is #7. I love all the News casts and reporters.... they are great BUT THE APP NEEDS WORK. I am uninstalling app. Will check back in New Year.

I want to like this app more, but every time I enter the app from a news push notification, it's lags and stalls my whole phone for a while and takes even longer to actually load the content I pressed for. No other news app I use does this. Please fix.

I click on any notification and it takes so long to open. I'm on a S20 which is the latest and greatest. Not just me, everyone else here says the same thing. It's been happening for over 2 years already, and I don't expect you will ever have developers dedicated to fix this issue.

The app itself is fine but the alerts are horrible. When I click on an alert, it takes forever to bring up the story. Much of the time, the story it brings up isn't even related to the alert that I clicked on.

1) often, videos playing full screen can't be rotated to landscape 2) Tapping a notification takes FOREVER to load the item in the app, then you can't navigate to anywhere else in the app - the back arrow closes the app rather than going to the home screen of the app

All right where it needs to be. Super fast to navigate and retrieve the info that is NYC !! Morning, noon, night and ever second in between !!! Only draw back is app needs cast to TV feature option.

Good video quality if you have a strong Wi-Fi then you will get HD quality otherwise it will still play only not as good.. Never buffers for me and loads fast. With so many news 7 apps for new york I think this one works best for me.. Would recommend for the latest news coverage 👌😎

Doesn't QUICKLY refresh stories. Videos don't play all the way through, freeze EVERY TIME. 👎THIS close to un-installing. 7/5/21- Guess what? Nothing's changed with the way this app works. Can't play any of the videos that accompany the stories. It's AWFUL, don't bother
