Too liberal. ABC7 Eyewitness News used to be the best source of news in L.A. and Southern California. However, as noticed over the last few months, the station and its app have become increasingly too liberal and far-left. They’re so biased with moderates and conservatives. They’ve also become sloppy with their reporting by falsifying and sensationalizing stories. It’s time to watch another local news station that isn’t incredibly liberal.

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.

Good app, very useful, few designed in quirks. It's difficult to criticize this app except to say that it is extremely annoying to have to wait though and advertisement before every single news video. While I can't fault ABC7 for making money the usefulness of the app drops the longer I have to wait. I have other things to do...especially if I'm essentially watching the same add each time. What then is the point? ABC7 should design in some better intelligence such as a timer of sorts or smarts to know how long I've been on the app to allow the app or server to be more selective on when it shows me an add, say every other video or very third especially if I'm going to be seeing the same add over and over. Otherwise, it's makes it difficult to continue to use the app, I loose interest and end up using another news app or source

Can’t read. I can never read a single news article in this app before it crashes and sends me back to the iPhone home screen. I have to relaunch the app and look for the article I was reading each time it does his. It’s really a pain. This is a terrible app. Just read online in the browser instead.

Update is horrible!. This used to be my go to app, opened it on the daily in place of actually watching the news on the t.v. Until a couple of days ago when they decided to update it, worst update ever! The old format was so convenient and easy to maneuver, now you can only view one story at a time and it keeps playing the videos for the stories I don't want to watch. Honestly I don't think I have even figured out how to work it correctly. It shouldn't be this annoying to try to read the news. Now I'm in search for a better news app that's easier to manage!

User interface needs work. Can’t get videos to work in landscape mode. Seems fine in portrait, but as soon as I turn the device (iPhone 12) the screen goes blank have to back out usually the first page and start over. Also many of the stories on the homepage are stale, as in several hours to, in some cases, over a day old. It is rare that there are any stories less than 1 to 2 hours old. It would be nice if there was a way to sort them by age so that IDon’t have to wade through multiple stories I have already seen.

Hate the new app - go back while you can!. This was the worst idea ever. I get one story per page and have swipe through story after story to get to the one I want to read, and then it's all video. People still read you read you know. In fact you should encourage it. I only go to this app now when I've forgotten the change then quickly leave.

Older model cell phones ..... Don’t allow for a change to the new version of ABC 7’s News Program. I do wish that it was so, but it’s not workable it seems. I so enjoy the news outline offered and have found the new changes very disquieting and very disappointing! Please allow me to use the old site connection!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Latest version is horrible!!!. Your app was not bad actually it was pretty decent I could chose to watch it live , watch what ever interested me when I wanted until your latest update !!!!!! Now when I click on the video there is no option to go full screen anymore what ?? So I turn my phone horizontally hoping that will do the trick but instead a random video pops up that I wasn't even watching and it's not even full screen it has this annoying black border around it with words on the bottom. Fix this horrendous error immediately your app now is useless ahd unwatchable!!

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.

ABC7 news app. 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.

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.

March 2023 Update -> Delete App. I had this app solely for the detailed real person 7 day weather forecast videos. Now they took away the ABC7 news anchor videos and replaced them with a long read and screen shots. On top of that, they made the app experience a forced copy of the TV experience: Ads, Ads, Ads, and links for NEGATIVE news. I just want to know when the “atmospheric river” will stop flowing! You’re app no longer provides any more value than the built in smartphone weather widget. APP DELETED!!! Side Note: To be fair, prior to the update I would have given the direct easy to find navigation to a video real person weather forecast 5–stars. It was the only place to find straight weather easy.

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.

Awful. I never write reviews, but this latest update is just plain awful. Usually I check the app 2-3 times in a day to stay up to date on news, but with this recent update I find myself ignoring it. The app automatically cuts any audio I’m listening to when opening it, even if I’m not looking at any videos. Along with this, the new layout and display of news stories is irritating. If there isn’t a way to revert my app to a previous update, then I see myself going elsewhere for news.

Deceptive Update. UPDATED REVIEW: The newest changes are so terrible that I have deleted the app. This app now fills the screen with a single story so I have to scroll and scroll to find what I want to read. It won't let me change advertiser tracking features. It claims to allow me to turn off video autoplay, then autoplays video anyhow. There must be a USEFUL app out there that will let me get a quick scan of local news and I'm off to find that app. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Update description says nothing about the multiple advertisements that now appear with each news story. Wish I had not "updated."

Thank you. 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. I watch channel 7 eyewitnesses news every day.

Bad upgrade. This is the only news app are used for Southern California for many years. Within the last month or so the entire format was changed and in my opinion the app has lost its appeal. The old app you could open it and choose from many different stories where is this app you actually have to search to find a story worth reading. I would much rather open the app and have many stories to choose from rather than a few and then have to search for the rest. As such, for the first time I have downloaded NBC and Fox.

Eyewitnesses 7 News. When I downloaded the app it was great 👍 now it is a piece of S!!! I have to continue to refresh the channel 7 to get new news of the day as it show me the same news from day before then it take for ever PS not my phone it brand new and isn’t not my network

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.

Spotty performance, at best.. This app is so continuously unreliable. Most times the videos do not play, the stories won’t open, & many times the pictures do not match the headline, but that’s the least of its problems. Please fix the video playing issues. When there’s a video that goes along with a featured story it’s a reasonable expectation that the video should play. More often than not they just do not load & many do not play at all. This has been an issue for many many months.

App needs improvement. Great news source but the app needs some improvement. When clicking on a news notification, it takes me to the app but stuck on a loading page that never loads up no matter how good my connection is and because of this I’m never able to find the same article again which is super disappointing.

Untimely notifications - ugh. The app is ok. The problem is that they push out alerts at all hours for things that aren’t even breaking news and they’re just saying to tune in and watch the news. There’s no reason for an alert to wake me up at 11pm to turn on the news for an ongoing story with no new info. The app should have settings for quiet non alert hours.

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.

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

News Alerts. You can always count on ABC7 Eyewitness News Los Angeles for breaking news covering local communities or anywhere in the world. News doesn’t stop late at night or on the weekends so ABC7 works around the clock with breaking news alerts. When News happens it happens on ABC7 Eyewitness News.

What have you become?. I’m saddened by the biased reporting you feed us. You used to be a news outlet that I was able to trust. Sadly, this is no longer the case. You constantly fail to report all sides of a story. Many times you also fail to acknowledge news stories that don’t fit your agenda. It’s a shame, it feels like you are trying to groom people into believing your political ideation. News stories should be unbiased. Where is your journalistic integrity? What have you become? Please take a moment to do soul searching, come back to your center, and honor a pledge to report unbiased journalism.

Don’t download — broken notification system. After years of using the ABC 7 Los Angeles app for notifications about breaking local news, I’ve finally deleted it for two reasons: 1) the settings for what notifications you want don’t work; and 2) the extremely unnecessary notifications about continuing to watch the broadcast with x & y anchors. Point 2 was actually the straw that broke the camel’s back. I’ve always hated how I can’t turn off breaking news notifications about national stories, since I have better apps for that (AP News). There ABC app has a setting to adjust what you want notifications about, but it doesn’t work. Switching to the NBC LA app to see if that’s better. Hope the devs figure out how to design a better notification system here.

Too much. 1. Often I will be near the end of an article and all of a sudden the screen jumps somewhere in comments so I have to scroll up and up and search for my place where I was reading. Other times the jump leaves the article entirely before I can read the end. 2. I can read a lot faster than I can listen to the news, and listening wastes my time with a commercial. Should be a way to turn off all video so it never intrudes. 3. Headlines are often click bait. Instead of just saying something like this country has this news in the title, have to click on article just to see what country. Often headline is buried deep in article before article gets to the point of the title, and often the title is a minor point so it does not accurately describe the article.

Too woke. If you want woke local news, this is for you. Sad that there can’t be unbiased local news anymore. ABC7 so clearly pushes the liberal agenda in even the most non-political stories. Example: listing about 8 different languages in one sentence, all in alphabetical order except for English which was dead last. This is such a small example, which is subtle and hard to catch unless you are paying attention. There are much more overt examples too but I’m over not being able to read a single news story without wokeism and equity being pushed down my throat.

They’ve ruined a great app. ABC is screwed up big-time! Now you have to watch video after video with no way to stop them from playing. It gives you no time to react. A truly terrible update. And, the app keeps crashing! Typically in the middle of a video that starts without a commercial playing first.

Update: format works ! Old: New format doesn't work at all. 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.

Watch for the coverage. I like to watch channel 7 news because they cover everywhere including the beach area. Most other TV stations don’t cover the beach areas and so I don’t like watching them. And every station do not have the same news. Channel 7 gives me the information that I need.

Poorly designed "upgrade". The upgrade to the app is horrible. The old version used to be my go to for local news, now with the new version, I need to look someplace else for news. I gave it 1 star because it wouldn't not let me leave it blank. The news stories are not laid out in a way to where they are easy to see the highlights and it is super annoying that when you pull up the app it automatically starts the video, considering I like to read the news late at night/ early in the AM lying in bed and don't want to wake my husband.

Upgrade is awful!. This is my first review on any app. It was so disappointing to have mandatory videos instead of just plain print articles. If I wanted to see a video I would rather turn on the TV or visit another website with this type of format. They should have an option of videos or articles. It's very upsetting. ABC 7 should please fix it and sway away from lazy readers.

Buggy but great. I am only writing this review and giving it three stars because I hope it will bring some positive change to this great app. The app is buggy at best, videos get interrupted and cut off by other videos from the app especially on their Apple TV version of this app. If you are trying to watch a full morning news broadcast, forget about it, more likely than not it’ll be interrupted by something else completely unrelated. As for the iPhone app, where is the local newscast? Not clips from it, the entire thing. A great part of why I watch the news is the news team behind this network, why can’t I enjoy that here too?

My inability to log in. 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. I don’t have time or patience for this nonsense (which makes absolutely NO SENSE TO ME WHATSOEVER. Take care and be healthy and safe....i had a great 50 or so year run with channel 7.

New up-date not user friendly (edited). The new update makes it extremely hard to see article titles. The font is small I have to squint to read them, yet the ads are HUGE. How convenient that money is prioritized over function. Disappointing and much better apps out there to get the news. It looks like ABC may be listening to customers… They redesigned the interface with their latest update and it is much much better! Thanks for the fix ABC it helps make it much more usable.

Notifications. I can’t seem to clear the notification that the app says I have. I signed in thinking that is what I needed to do but the notification is still there. I’m not sure if there’s something else I need to do in app or if it’s just a glitch. I’ve had to resort to not allow any notifications from the app to not see it but I hate doing that because it forces me to neglect the news.

Ms. Holly Myrick. I love abc 7 eyewitness news since I was 11 years old. I've seen a lot of news casters come and go but now there are so many young new faces that are home grown and it's so nice and refreshing But I'm really so concerned over covid 19 stricken Michelle Tuzzi I know she took ill with that monster killer. I also heard the beautiful farewell letter Mark Brown read in the air I cried I thought is this the end of a great female in the field/ on a special assignment reporter/ and a super fantastic on air anchor woman‼️ So my question is that I never heard if she recovered from covid or did she pass away from that awful deadly disease ❓if someone could please tell me I really would appreciate knowing

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.

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 .

Bugs in new update. So I tried to go to the app support and it just takes me to the slow opening app. Please help, this is getting ridiculous! App was fine before, no issues with reading news stories or opening videos instantly like any other app. Latest update makes the app very slow. It takes 20 seconds to open, the screen freezes as you scroll between stories, and freezes when scrolling through an article. I used to stream live news, but now there is no ability to view it in full screen. There are always thick blue ribbons advertising ABC 7 at the top and bottom of the screen, blocking the video. ABC please fix this!

Give quick news. Love the idea that I can actually get a text to tell me what's going ! With out having to sit in front of the TV for half hour and listen to a lot of politics that are going on I prefer to find out what's going on in our neighborhoods. An this application allows me to get quick news I can pick what I want to read.

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.

Terrible app for live coverage. When watching live coverage on this app the commercials come in loud and clear but most of the time the audio does not. Also on the top news feeds some stories are a week old. I guess they can’t find anything else to report on so we have to read the same thing over and over. I was very disappointed with the coverage of the precession for the Sheriff killed in the line of duty. NO AUDIO. Shame on you.

ABC 7 Los Angeles. This app keeps cutting out and taking you back to your iPhone screen. In addition, I chose news for Orange County but the news is all a week old or older. I previously had this app and loved it. However, in their effort to make this app better, they have made it user unfriendly and not showing current news. Why even have a choice of Orange County news when they’re not showing anything current. I’m going to delete this app and suggest you not waste the time to download as you’ll be extremely disappointed!

No search function. Went through the motions while watching the news tonight. There was a news segment on Coby Bryant and the said watch the interview on the app. So I pick up my iPad. Except there is no way of finding said article in the app without taking an hour to find it ...you tell me?

App crashes. I use this app to get my daily dose of news but just recently the app keeps crashing in the middle of an article. I thought maybe because I reading an article about Trump it was doing it on purpose but the following day I was reading something about a fire and same thing happens. It is very annoying. I guess I will have to find my news source from another platform since the app won’t stay open long enough to read anything until the end.

Great app, but the captions!!!!. Like the app, doesn’t crash like it used to do. But honestly the captions are horrible. They are not correct when it comes to the story. For instance, don’t EVER say a nurse is a murderer if it’s not a nurse. Shame on you! A CNA is not even close to a nurse. How misleading! And there are other instances where your headline captions do not even come close to the what is real in the story. Do better. I expect better from you. You are my go-to source; what I watch when I’m not reading The NY Times. Please do better.

Review app. Hate the new app.. Love channel seven news I loved loved loved the last app everything was on the front page for access to what you need for quick reference. New app quick access is hard to find you have to search for what you need.

Crashes often. The app is great but tends to crash frequently on and off. Especially when watching playbacks of full episodes. I feel like it’s the commercial breaks that keep making it crash because it always happens when it gets back from a commercial break.

App issues. I’m very frustrated with the channel 7 application. Each morning I go to see the news, and find it has an updated from the news the previous day or even the previous two days. Sometimes it won’t boot up at all. No other news apps seem to have this problem. If this isn’t corrected soon, I’ll just delete the app and use another channel for my daily news.

Channel 7 News App. I find the Channel 7 News App to have the most consistent, current news of any of the other news apps. It is my go-to news app. For the above reason. Plus the colors of the logo, and coverage is very vivid. I recommend Channel 7 News App.

Horror Update. They tried to make the app look like a social media app! This is not instagram!- not cool. It hard to navigate the news subjects and look at the content. I find myself going to a competitor to see the news. The old version was so much better. This update just confuses me and I don't get all the information like before. I finally figured out how to stop the videos from auto playing. So annoying Fake rating, the rating was accurate to the comments.. now it's a 4.5? Bullll

Too many commercials. The app works great but the 30 second commercials you can’t skip over are frustrating. If you move from clip to clip to get important information that may be lifesaving you must first endure a commercial before the news segment. There are significantly more commercials than ANY news cast. “The mountain is sliding towards your home, but not before this commercial break!!!”

Ads. I love the news it provides but hate now many ads it now has while reading and when we watch the news video. Also the ad overlaps with the news segment almost every single time we click to wat. This is an issue that needs to be fixed has been like this for about half a year already!

App Spontaneously Aborts Like Usual. This app is extremely unreliable and crashes intermittently. It is completely unusable on iOS 13. Did the app developer do any testing on iOS 13? If any testing had been done, the developer would have noticed that news stories cannot be opened!! The app developer should be fired and replaced with an app developer that can fix bugs and properly test the app. I love the presentation of the news on this app, if it only worked and was reliable.

Terrible. Some major changes need to be done to this app. First, it freezes and stops working regularly. Second, get rid of the automatic video startup when you open a story. I used to enjoy looking at the news one last time before falling asleep. Not on this app anymore. You open a story and a blaring advertisement will start or by some freak chance of nature there won’t be one and some reporter will start telling the story word for word to what I’m very capable of reading. Used to enjoy this app. Not anymore.

App freezes after 30 second Ads!. It took me over 3 attempts to either read or watch a news story. After watching the 30 second ad, the app would freeze! I couldn’t scroll to just read the story or do anything. Closed the app to try again and same results. I had nearly 2 minutes of time invested with opening and closing the app only to watch 30 second ads before I was finally able to watch the news story. I like ABC News, but I may look at others if this continues!

ABC7. Overall very satisfied with this app. I mostly use it for the weather, but more and more often, I find myself checking the latest news as they show up. Brief updates throughout the day, makes for an informed world. Easy to maneuver and the weather so far has been accurately reported. 4 Stars.

Stupid “watch now” notifications. This app used to be useful, but they recently started sending out notifications to watch their early morning news broadcasts or even the weather report live streaming now. I do not want these kinds of notifications. I signed up for breaking news notifications, but these do not constitute breaking news. Lol. At least give us the option to turn these kinds of ridiculous programming announcements off.

Too Many Typos, Sometimes Glitchy. I like this app overall to get my news, but it is often glitchy, I don’t like the auto-generates stories after viewing a video, and somebody at ABC/Channel 7 News in Los Angeles needs to hire a proofreader because there are a lot of typos and errors in the stories. Very annoying.

New update. The new update is nice but I hate that the entire article titles are now not shown. I can’t see the titles and decide what articles I’m going to read. I’ll probably find another local news source. I don’t have time to open each article to see what I actually want to review. Please make the thumbnails a little bigger to allow the entire article name to show.

Ditto on HATING the new format. I pretty much echo everything SylliSyl2012 said in their review. Used to be my go to app for all newsy things local, but can’t stand nor understand the logic behind the new format so I’m removing it from my phone until the developers realize that having to blindly swipe through every article just to find the one(s) you’re interested in (or the one you want to re-visit because you want to reference information contained therein or share it with someone) is a completely inefficient and annoying user experience.

Love my local news but would appreciate a dark mode 🌙. This is my most trusted app, it works great and its main source for news but it’s very hard to stay on the app with such brightness, a dark mode would make this perfect

Annoying videos with ads on every story: STOP. The latest update keeps playing annoying ads with every story. It’s so bad I simply turn them off for each. What happened to letting us read in peace & quite?

Had something good and turned it into something not good. I very seldom write reviews, but of all the news apps ABC7 use to be the best. It was easy and user friendly. The new format requires more work to locate stories. Guess I will be searching for another news app. The old saying if it’s not broke don’t fix it comes to mind.

ABC News Los Angeles. This news team is outstanding, from the early morning team to the afternoon team. Davi Muir is great although he needs an hour instead of only 1/2 hr. Hopefully Michelle Tuzzi will be better, she is outstanding also. Rob F is a sharp dresser, Dalas is wonderful as are the ladies weather presenters. GMA & GMA 2 is outstanding.

Always in the Know. This app is great! It's always sending me "Breaking News" so I'm up to date on the most current affairs. I'm able to see live streaming or just read snippets when in the go. #ABC7LA is the best. Non biased with straight newsworthy information.

Shuts down continually!!. I do like this app for my local news but I am usually limited on time that I can access.. for the past few months the app constantly shuts down and kicks me out.. it doesn’t matter if I am inside an article or on the front screen. Very upset that i have to go back in and find where I was. Please have this fixed. This does not happen on other apps I use.

Fix update!!!. This used to be my favorite app until the recent app update!! Now it constantly shuts down in the middle of reading about the news!! You have to constantly restart it to read more about some of the stories! Please fix it!!

Terrible. I used to look forward to the old app since I could rapidly skim if for up to date news, weather, and traffic. The new app is terrible. It requires one to scroll down to view each new item rather than give a concise list of “breaking news”. Also if one is not careful, a video starts up on most items something I don’t appreciate if I am using it a night and end up waking up the wife by mistake. Whoever came up with this new format should be fired. I no longer use it since it has become so user unfriendly. R.Barr, San Clemente

ABC7LA app - not user friendly anymore. The upgrade of the ABC7LA app is not so user friendly anymore and not convenient to use. What’s the whole purpose of a registered user? Are you trying to target more data from these users? If so, what are your goals in using this new data? For me, the convenience of downloading and using your app was so that I can get quick-up-to-date news when needed and without logging in to an account or sign up page. Now it’s not worth having on my tablet or utilizing.

Auto play default should be turned off. Autoplaying is disruptive. I understand you’re trying to monetize by playing ads but it should not be a default. Default setting should be click to play. It’s intrusive and the user experience is ruined by this for those that don’t realize it’s an option to not auto play. Shame shame shame.

Very pathetic. Crash. Crash. Crash. Crashes every few minutes. iPhone up to date but your app crashes constantly. We are tired of going to the Moon and the International Space Station yet you can’t design an app that won’t crash. Can’t you get a college kid to help you out. After all you have a big flashy name and with the name comes big money. App has crashed 4 times in 8 minutes I watch your tv news programs but your app is crashing trash!! Why?? It’s super trash why?

What a joke!. I honestly feel sorry for your newscasters who I’ve been watching for years. They are the reason I’m having a hard time weaning myself off your local news. Your coverage of local news is very exploitive and obviously focused on ratings. Your national news is very biased and probably a reflection of your “head” person who has political aspirations. Anyways, I’m probably not the only one leaving... just having a hard time going to another channel cause I love your newscasters.

Awesome app. This App is pretty awesome since the first day I got it. It keeps me updated to the latest New’s at all time, specially with the notifications being turned on. I always recommend ABC7 to all my friends, family & co-work's and specially to download this App. Thanks guys.

Glitchy and annoying. Very glitchy app. Notifications pop up and click them for and they either don’t go to the right story but just the general app or if there’s a video, click the video and takes forever to come up plus you have to wait for an advertisement. And yes I have good connection. Super annoying. Have to go to an different app to see the news

Needs work. Keeps crashing and at times keeps on playing once your done watching what you were seeing. Other then that it’s great because I don’t get to watch TV at home. Keeps me up to date on the news.

Update***. I’ve changed my review from a one star back to a five star review & I want to thank Disney& ABC 7 LA for listening! You have fixed the news app so that it’s back to being a FANTASTIC news & information app & not an ad app! Thanks again for listening

Police pursuits topic option. I do love the app as is. But would take it to the next level would be police pursuit notifications! I do get them on a breaking news request, but having it as a topic for news to follow and get notifications on would be great. There’s nothing more LA than a good high speed pursuit

2 30 seconds commercials before breaking news. blows me away that there’s not only a commercial on every article you click on to see or read but even during freaking news you make people sit through 2 30 second commercials before you give them the breaking news When is Public Safety more important than your ad revenue unacceptable for breaking news to have 60 second commercial before you get the critical news.

Where’s traffic?. Please bring back the old app. I can’t find anything even remotely akin to yesterday’s app. I always check traffic before I leave the house. Guess I’ll have to the channel 4 app. Maybe they still have it. If traffic is still part of this new app it’s well hidden.

Hate the new update!. This app has become very annoying it keeps showing the videos... i like reading the news not watching them... then just randomly shuts off ugh.. so frustrating!!!

Informative but...... ABC7 News App is very easy to use but why do I see advertisements to download the app when I I already have it on my phone and I am using it, also advertisements during video clips are far too lengthy in duration which usually results in early termination of viewing!

Remove adds. This is a news app where a lots of news happens every day and emergency news so please remove the commercial adds that plays for 30 seconds to 1 minutes we need news right away

Stop Inserting Unrelated Photos and Videos in Storylines. Why is there always an unrelated photo or video inserted in all the storylines? Put them at the end of the article if you must, but at least have the courtesy not to interrupt your readers from reading the current story. They are disruptive and annoying that I find myself going elsewhere for my news instead.

Worst update ever!!. What used to set this app apart from the others was the ease of finding the traffic map feature. Now it takes too long to find it, if you ever do or give up. I liked that I could look at multiple headlines and pick what I wanted to read, now you have to scroll down through everything. If I wanted to do that I could just go through my Apple news feed. Think I’m done with this app unless they change it again. Don’t download the update!!!!!

Poor update. Since the last update the app is continually crashing. Advertisements pop up to take up whole screen when they are not clicked on. Unable to read the news due to the frequent crashing!

Article pages jump while reading. Every time I click on an article and begin reading, the text of the article jumps and I lose my place and have to find it again because the ads on the page take longer to load than everything else. The second the ad loads while you’re already halfway through the article, you lose your spot and have to scroll around to find it again. So annoying.

The best news channel for me. Hi everyone at abc ever since I was a kid my dad would always have it on abc especially to watch tawny little tell the news and now I am 56 years old and it’s now my turn to watch the news that informs me of good and bad but thanks again stay great!

Great source for news on my phone. BUT!! Since they asked for my rating :) I get that advertising is how you make money but 30 sec ads??? What is this 2013? LOL also sometimes I just want to look at the cover pic of the video and not watch the video because of the long ad then an anchor person talking for 15-30 more seconds so it'd be nice if they move the play arrow to the bottom corner of the video clip then I can quickly see if the criminal in the video is a friend or not

The right team for news. Great since early in the morning and the updates makes it, appropriate to the busy schedule that most of us have deal with. Still professional and most fun anchors to bring the news. Thank you for the great service to all communities

Strait the the point. I like this app because I want to know what’s going on locally first. And I don’t have to see horrific images unless I choose because the app give you the option to watch or read. I love it. It’s part of my morning routine.

Saved My Classroom of Worried Kids. I was in a classroom with crying kids who were scared about the fire smoke they were seeing. I used my ABC 7 app to show them where the fire was and how it was not close to us. They stopped crying and were able to get through the day in peace. Thank you ABC :)

ABC7LA app. I have an iPad Pro. ABC7LA used to be one of the better apps (if not the best) for news and information (especially live coverage video). Not so much now. Push notification used to take you directly to the video/story. That doesn’t happen anymore. You have to do a lot of searching to find the push notification push story/video. I no longer (rarely) use the ABC7LA app now. BILL Martin, Country Club Park, CA

No auto rotate on full screens. I can’t stand that when I get a notification and I tap on the live video the video doesn’t rotate when I set the phone down in my stand. It’s really annoying!

Notifications are silent?. At first, I didn’t like the redesigned app, but then when I compared the sharing function with ABC7 Bay Area, I loved it. The only reason this doesn’t get more stars is because every time there’s a new notification, there’s no ping to notify me of it. Once that bug gets fixed, I’ll give it 4 stars.

Selective. This app is great when they stick to the news. Unfortunately, more times then not, they chose sensational tidbits for "breaking news". I really don't need breaking updates on the Kardashians or Justin Bieber. Also quite biased...although I understand living in So Cal I'm going to be inundated with pro-liberal stories, it would be nice if they could at least stay semi-NEUTRAL on news stories. Weather portion is usually right on!
