ABC30 Central CA App Reviews

Awesome !!!!. I absolutely love this app and I love ABC30 ... I love how they keep us updated on everything going from breaking news to emergency alerts in the state, city or country. I recommend everybody to get this app it is very helpful and useful.

Great for local news, but crashes.. ABC 30 app is the best app for local news. I read it daily and also check the weather which always has the most accurate forecast. I’ve had the app for years and am overall very happy with it, however there are some bugs that need fixing. There are only problems when watching the video clips. The app often crashes in the middle of the video which is SUPER annoying. I’d say 2 to 3 videos a day will crash the entire app. Also, the next video will automatically play. This has happened even after I close the app. My phone will be locked and the video continues to play. Please fix your video issues!

Accessibility problems and feedback form error. Using an iPhone SE second GEN iOS 16.2 running voiceover. The ability to lifestream is not working on the app. Voiceover reads the live, and live video toggle, but the embedded link to view live streaming does not work. Second, the form in settings\login does not let me sign into my Disney account. The app, Mesho, it visually, but it’s not working in unison with voiceover, frustrating. Finally, the feedback form is accessible but broken. When I hit the submit button, I am constantly met with an error message to try again. Please fix because the AppleTV app is fully accessible, so I know you guys can make this one just as accessible. Thanks

Horrible change. The prior ABC30 app was great. A list of news stories loaded and you could very quickly scoll down the list to read the items that interested you. Now, the screen is filled with a big picture and one story and you have to keep swiping to see the next story. It's really slow and you end up swiping past a bunch of stories that are of no interest. I checked this app every day but doubt if I will do so now.

New to the app. Love getting up to date push notifications of current events. It makes me feel so connected to my community. I love the app.

My favorite weather people🥰. Always know the forecast is as accurate as can be…..pleasant, knowledgeable and professional meteorologists!

Negativity. Why do you always lead with death and malice? This is unhealthy. I suggest the book, “Humankind,” by Rutger Bergman. How you report the news can change the world by changing people’s perception. Let’s all be the change!

Keeps me informed. I’m currently in AZ stuck because of Covid and not quite ready to take the long drive home. I don’t miss any of my local news. I enjoy the honest reporting

Finally I can pick the notifications I want. I like that I can pick my notification categories in the settings. Layout is cleaner and I like the new explore function. Very neat and organized.

abc30 Action News. abc30 is my favorite news channel out of all of the local ones it’s the only one I watch I keep it on channel 30 only from 4:30 AM when I’m up getting ready for work and then when I get home from work it depends because is was working 16 - 17 hour works days everyday so when it get out of work early I watch it at 4:00 PM or 5:00 PM or 6:00 PM o’clock or 11:00 PM but I never miss my daily abc30 news I love abc30 and everybody at the abc30 news channel , you guys are accurate at all events from the Weather with Kevin Musso to Everyone at the newsroom and outside the newsroom ,Thank You everybody at abc30 action news. Sincerely Ariel

Always on task with local news. Always news worthy

Good App. This is a really good app to get news and weather here in the valley. One request, can you guys please limit the amount of notifications you guys send out as “breaking news”? Or add a setting to what news alerts to receive? Example: “person ran over/shot/stabbed in Fresno” this literally happens like every day. Unfortunately so often it becomes repetitive and almost like spam. Also add a tab for live news please

Unhappy viewer. Let me start by saying your news station is the only one I watch but here recently I can’t even get 1/3 through the news article before your app shuts down. I don’t get it. I don’t ever finish the article bc it constantly kicks me out! Please fix this or something before I’m forced to find a new news source.

Great News App. I love using the Chanel 30 News App I can always count on the latest News and updates. I highly recommend this App.

Problems. This app always gives me problems. I had deleted it for about a year because of the problems. I redownloaded it a few weeks ago and was impressed with the changes. I installed an iOS update today and he we go again with problems. When I click on a news article, nothing loads. I tried forcing the app closed and reopen with the same problems. Very frustrating because it is a great station with great content. I’m sure the advertisers are not happy either

Love the app, just one annoying problem.. Great news app and neat features to stay up to date locally and nationally. One thing that needs to be fixed is when I’m scrolling through a story, the authors will attach links to parts of a text that will transfer you to a specific story they’re describing by tapping on it. These words are highlighted in blue. Sometimes, while trying to swipe through an article, I accidentally tap on these words and the app transfers me to a whole different story. It’s nerve racking because I have to return to the previous story and carefully scroll my way down to where I left off.

Least favorite news app. Having to scroll thru every story is a pain. I prefer to see headlines and a small pic of multiple stories giving me the option of which articles to access. The new app makes me read each article headline scrolling thru all articles before the option to choose to read an article. ABC30 news app went from one of my favorites to my least favorite and last news app I view to examine news. Not even the local news generates any appeal. I prefer other news apps first. 😳

Music(background. Please turn down your background music. Cannot hear the programs. If it does not get better my family and I will not be watching .

Constant typos and grammatical errors.. Stories are poorly written, with many typos and errors, both factual and grammatical. There is no "report a typo" option like most news apps have. Emails pointing out the errors are ignored. Briefly there was a twitter feed pointing out the errors on the ABC30 twitter stream, but instead of fixing the errors, they blocked that feed. ABC30 - we make many mistakes and we don't care! In the app, there is a form to make suggestions. If you fill the entire form out and submit it, it fails with an error message. The app, like the news reporting, is half assed and poorly done.

Newest version is awful. I used to love your app for my go to for news. Now with this latest version it’s glitchy, does not open when I am sent a news notification. And also it’s horrible when trying to stream live news, there is a delay because there has to be an ad or two before it will jump into the news. Please go back to when it was user-friendly and worked without any issue.

Just missing 1 thing.. I enjoy the app a lot. I wish it had a search engine. I’ve also seen that not all things or something n the app that are on the full website. Besides that I like it a lot & use it frequently.

Channel 30 action news. I like having my action news ap on my phone because it always has the most late breaking news.. and always accurate news!!!

App is Horrible. What’s going on? App will not load on my iPad or iPhone. Both are new and up to date. Just got my new phone this week and had the same problem on my old phone. I’ve logged out of the app and back in and still the same. This has been going on for about 2 months. I’m able to login thru my web browser.

Disappointing. While it is the best news app Fresno has to offer, that isn’t saying much. It is a good source of local news most of the time. But it doesn’t even mention giant world events...you know, things that the entire world has stopped for? There should at least be links to ABC News stories about those. The video auto play feature keeps changing in my settings without me doing anything. And there are a ton of ads scattered throughout stories, and the page skips all over as they load, so the story is unreadable until I wait for several ads to load slowly.

Poor. Poor quality and doesn’t work almost every day I don’t recommend this app to anyone!

Informed. I love the news alerts, it’s pops up on my screen it’s the first the I look at for all my updated news information

Not a good ap. Text jumps around when an ad loads, then you have to scroll either up or down to find where you were reading. Radar image is so tiny it’s useless. Two days age they turned on a feature that auto plays an ad when you click on a story; and you have to go to settings to turn off that feature. Easier to just delete the ap.

Still crashes. App still crashes after latest update. Otherwise I like it.

This app is the worst.. You can be watching a video, and at the same time the sound of another video is playing in the back background. No way to stop it but to quit the app. The whole user experience is terrible which is unfortunate because the news channel is one of the best in this area.

Best Fresno Local News App. I really like this app and I've been using almost daily for at least a year. It's well thought out and aside from the "fake news" sidebars for advertising the content is relevant and timely. Commercials are not overwhelming in number. The latest update, for me, has a bug where after I watch a clip, the "done" button disappears. So I have to close the app and start again. After the clip ends I'm stuck with no way to go back to the home page. It's been many months and still have the issue after watching a clip the done button disappears. All in all I'm really pleased mostly due to the other local news apps I've tried simply do not work.

Slow. This app is very slow to update and sometimes it takes almost 12 hours to get the new news posted. I know it’s not my phone because I have another news app that updates continuously. Not real happy with this ABC 30. I am also tired of the My News section switching to settings. I don’t want to change anything there and I don’t understand why it’s doing that all of a sudden.

Too many commercials. Can never finish reading a post without three commercials interrupting

App unexpectedly closes.. It appears this app has a problem. While reading an article suddenly the app closes. When I relaunch it I’m fine for a few minutes then it cycles again. It seems like this happens when it is trying to update or add a post. This app is the only one which does this.

Useful way to keep up. Taking away a star because the app railroaded me into writing this review. Easy on data, most people I deal with use the same app, so we are all on the same page.

Alerts. An alert comes across my phone, when I click on it it isn’t there.

Frustrating at times. Generally I like the ABC 30 app. I like being able to access local news while I travel and being able to stream the news wherever I happen to be. However, it’s frustrating how limited choosing what news you receive is. Also, you can’t access information about the news team, and it’s difficult to find news stories that you may have missed during the news broadcast.

Thank you Kevin!!!. Just wanted to let you know that Kevin Musso is the most outstanding and knowledgeable weatherman I have ever seen. I have traveled all over United States and listened to many weathermen but Kevin is by far the best! However, Nico Payne could be replaced. His voice is very irritating and he over pronunciates his vowels reminding me of the sound of finger nails on a chalkboard! Thank You for allowing our opinions on this forum. I will continue to watch Kevin religiously.

Great News but Weird Update. Giving it 1 star for dev attention. The links in articles since the latest update open too easily. A simple scroll that use to never accidentally open links does it constantly now. It seems the link area is larger than just the blue hyperlink 🤔 All I know is I exit the app frequently, out of frustration when unwanted links randomly open, and read the news on your central valley or Fresno bee. This has only been going on for the last 3 weeks.

Glitchy app. This app is always glitching out on me. I can be in the middle of reading something and out of no where it will glitch and I’ll get stuck having to look for the same story I was reading about. And since I’m complaining... can we talk about those dang ads?!? Ugh.. can we at least alternate the ads? Sooo annoying.

Fantastic news and weather. You make sure to explain, everything that has to do with our area Thank You

Horrible video quality. Videos are always blurry, freeze and loading. You constantly have to X out, get back in several times before the video plays clearly. Most of the time it get so fed up with trying to replay I end up just going to another news app

Love the information it gives... except. ABC 30 is my absolute favorite news station. I love getting the notifications telling me about what is going on in my community. The only thing is, I use the voice over accessibility feature on the iPhone and when I click the full story button at the end of some articles, my screen goes blank. This makes me have to restart the app and open it back up, then go back to the story and open it again. My only reason for a 1 star is because I would really really appreciate this being fixed!

Best news station in the Central Valley!. This is the only news station I watch or listen to! As it has been for the 33 years we’ve lived in Fresno! The best most professional team!

ABC30 app. I don’t like this new “app” because I cannot find information regarding the station’s reporter staff that was a great feature in the previous “app.” Other than that, I think it functions slightly better. I am definitely not satisfied because of the missing previous staff info.

Disappointed. App often looses connection and plays the next news video without prompting. But what I find distasteful is the lack of respect the news reporters show our President. I understand that abc is connected to the Disney empire, and their blatant bias shows in the stories they write. An example is when they refer to what Trump has said, they’ll use negative worlds like, “rhetoric, hostile, angry and taunting”, which is to my opinion an obvious attempt to paint an unfavorable image. When posting a picture of President Trump they chose to print an unflattering, angry, or just a down right ugly picture. Again, to reflect a negative image. When President Obama was in office, you wouldn’t see this obvious bias reporting done by abc news. Shame on you all

New layout is terrible. I liked the old layout. The new layout is terrible. You can only see two stories at a time and have to keep swiping up to find something that interests you. The old layout was much better because you could see many more stories and find something that interests you. Now it’s like I’m being spoon fed...terrible.

Can’t find stories.. Always defaults to live. Can’t find stories that I just watched in the news to share with others. Especially frustrating when traveling and not in local time zone. I get an alert that something is livr and when I click on it it’s not there anymore. It’s another story. I hate this app

Have to kill the app every time to refresh. The app does not auto refresh on iPhone you have to kill the app to get current conditions every time. I use mostly for weather the old ABC30 app did auto refresh and most importantly in Los Banos it showed the wind speed and predicted wind speed by hour this is very useful in planning outdoor activities or choirs or if wind is really going to pick up you don't want your boat on San Luis reservoir. This is a huge downgrade from the old app!! Can I just get the old app back!! Please put the predicted wind speeds and fix the auto refresh problem

App Keeps Stalling. This is my favorite news station and I use this app several times a day. Lately the app has been stalling. Having to close the app and start over. If it’s not stalling, it will completely close out. Please fix soon.

Weather accuracy. Not sure why the weather portion of the app does not match the weather forecast on ABC30. You would think that whoever is managing them would be on the same page. The app weather at times is 10 degrees cooler than what the station is calling for.

Notifications without Sories. Too many times I have received a notification about a story, click on it, and the story is not there. It’s a very frustrating! I’m changing my news source because of it! It’s getting old already!

ABC30 needs improvement. I have a lot of news apps but by the one I have the most trouble with is ABC30 news. This app has a lot of bugs and is continuously not working properly. I rely on apps in the morning for news, traffic and weather. ABC30 works only half the time. I have better luck with other apps or going online.

:(. Too many commercials, data shouldn't be wasted with repeated commercials! Too many glitches in this app.

The best News. I think Channel 30 has the most informative news. There new casters make you feel like they are real caring individuals.

Repeat the story with some facts. Not sure of his name , but the same reporter that tripped/fell. “ I’m alright “. The Story-2 mothers that disappeared in Oklahoma. Didn’t understand what he was trying to convey?? Not ready for the real new stories, short story reels for practice.

Alerts. An alert comes across my phone, when I click on it it isn’t there.

My favorite news. I wake up early just to watch it before heading out to work

App Crashes!. My app crashes fairly regularly during video playback and when reading multiple stories. Do you have a fix? Seems like this has been occurring for a while now.

Great AP. I usually hit this AP once a day. Well organized and easy to read and rarely not up to date.

Needs improvement. Not the most user friendly, and crashes regularly. Each broadcast gets interrupted by black screen and sound only. Appreciate the news content, but it’s disappointing

Constantly going on silent.. I’ll be watching a segment and then it’ll go on mute. A few minutes later the sound will come back on. I also have to listen to repeat news when I wish it would just recognize that it has been viewed already

Hate the new app!!!. I can’t rotate my phone and watch the videos in full screen (horizontally). I also hate that I have to flip through each story like pages of a book. It’s annoying. I used to read the news every night on this app but unless they go back to the thumbnails on the side I’ll never reload this app on my phone. DELETED!!

Rating App. App changes. The Bee app is always inconsistent and not reliable. Considering the Bee cost I’m finally canceling my subscription.

Go for the news. awesome coverage, combo of both good and bad news.

The Best!!. This is the best and accurate news around. This news station has been my favorite for 50 years!!

Channel 30 news app. The ABC channel 30 news ap helps me to keep up with local news. Thank You Channel 30!

Hit and miss app. I’m going to delete this app because it’s has way too many bugs. The ads play with NO PROBLEM but the news story’s cut out during viewing, then when I try reloading it I watch the ads once again without issues. iPhone 12.

Amazing App. This is one of the most well rounded and user friendly app.

Unable to download. Is there anyway to get the app for my older phone?

Scrolling issues. The new update of mid May 2023 is very glitchy especially with scrolling. Please revert back to the last version, or fix this one immediately. Update. It now crashes when opening a story.

I keep getting kicked out. I keep getting kicked out no matter what article I cap on it kicks me out totally useless

Best informative Channel. Always up to the minute news!!

Previous version better. The previous version was better. I understand upgrading the app but didn’t really need an upgrade like this one. It was better seeing the stories like before not the new updated way. Just my opinion.

Awful. This new app version on my phone is terrible. For one example, it doesn’t match with the ABC 30 app on my iPad. I’ve refreshed it over and over for the foggy day schedule which continues to show a plan A, when in actuality it is Plan B. However the app shows it’s been updated just minutes ago. I also dislike the navigational process of this app.

Huge improvement. Videos play smoothly and navigation is simpler.

It’s hard to use. I love abc 30 but the app is to hard to use.. There is no search engine I could use.. Just dislike this app for my IPad..

If it ain't broke..... New version is clunky. Used to use it daily. No I just try to avoid it and almost thinking of deleting it.

Crashing. I’ve had this app for many years now. I stopped using it because it was crashing almost at every video. I just started to check the news on it again and it has not changed. It’s garbage how they do updates and nothing that matters gets fixed

Review. ABC30 is the only news our family listens to. Always accredited reports. Thank you all for a job well done.

doesn’t work with new ios. Since the latest ios came out, it crashes and doesn’t let you read news stories. Random videos start playing as you scroll and it doesn’t work. I should be able to decide if I want to see the video and I usually don’t.

Junk. Too many loud ads. Sad that ch. 30 would sink so low. News is not updated. Old as the Fresno Bee.

Need to update for iOS 13!. App just crashes now on iOS 13. iOS 13 has been in beta for months. Most other apps have already updated. This app is useless now. Will update rating once issues are fixed.

Live news. I’ve tried to watch news live and it DOSE NOT work at all

App broken. The abc 30 app has too many glitches, it’s just not working as it should. Before all the new changes to iPhones and their features. The abc 30 app worked just fine. I’m wondering if the app is even useful to me if it’s not even working properly for me. The app needs fixing bad.

Not the greatest.. Notifications for stories get added but never any story to read for at least 30 mins. What’s the point ?!

Quick news. Ch 30 is always the quickest and most accurate.

Good Morning!. I have to admit, it is great to start the day with current news.

Love my home town FRESNO. Love my home town FRESNO I love getting text messages but breaking news alerts and what’s going on in town love this app

New format. I cannot stand the new format after the update. Deleting

Poor performing... While the idea is great, the execution is less than mediocre. This app is not worth having. The administrators do not seem to care. The same issues have continued for many years. At this point I’d rather buy the news paper than try to use this app. Luckily for me it’s easily deleted..

Trouble loading videos. I like the app but when I want to watch the news story from a previous broadcast I can’t get it to play 90% of the time

ABC 30. Best news in the valley Always up to date and very professionally done Give yourselves an applause folks Your the best

Great application easy to navigate. I often check the news and weather of the valley here

Up to date!. Great app to keep me updated with weather traffic and happenings in the valley !!

AWESOME NEWS REPORTER’S. Channel 30 is the absolute Best in News Reporting in the Central California! Channel 30 is “SECOND TO NO ONE”, when it comes to reporting the News

??. I like the app but for some reason when I’m playing a news video it’ll stop and close out the app ?? Does this happen to anyone else

Not an improvement. This new app for ABC30 feels much too constricting. The home page only shows the top two stories. I liked the old app better because I was able to see a wider variety of stories on the home page. Can I switch it back to the old one?

Love the new upgrade!. Great new layout! Love the ability to customize which news stories I see and push alerts I get. 👍👍👍

Unwanted news updates. I will be deleting the app because I keep getting news notifications even though I only have weather turned on. There’s no excuse for this occupation.

Old apps. Love and work so much better than the old app .I get all my news old app.
