ABC7 Chicago News & Weather App Reviews

70 add

Turned off notifications

The only thing I want in a notification from a local news app is hard news alerts...Im not looking for "cutesy". Please tell the new marketing geniuses to get over themselves. No, I am not a displaced or disgruntled employee or one of their relatives...nice try explaining this review away by suggesting anything different.

Notifications

I am No longer receiving notifications with my iphone 6 and they are set to ON??

Stuck in the ads!!!

Once you choose to watch a video, you are stuck watching an advertisement with no way to pause or opt out of the advertisement other than to quit the app. I dont want to watch paid political ads with no option to exit the video.

Form Over Function

Clunky navigation, too many ads that get in the way. Social media sharing from this app rarely works even if the app is allowed to use a Twitter and Facebook apps. Stories are slow to update, breaking news alerts rarely are displayed.

The Best

I really like this app and use it daily. It keeps my informed about everything and weather is ALWAYS accurate.

Ad trap!

I accidentally (which seems to be very easy to do in this app) tapped an ad hotspot. The ad came up and I couldnt back out of it. I closed the app thinking that would get me out. Well surprise, surprise, the was still in charge. Please fix this ABC.

More commercials than news!

EVERY news video is preceded by a mandatory 30 second commercial! First you get an alert about a headline, which is great, but when you go to learn more about it, they force you to watch a commercial first. There is no way around it unless you cancel after the commercial starts.

Absolutely Horrible

This was my favorite news app. All it does now is freeze. On my way to Channel 2!

Terrible app

The news portion of the app is good but the ads are a nightmare. Make us pay something so we can get away from the annoying ads!

Look good but not

After 15 sec advertising the news video start & 3sec later the app cut off and shut down everything. Start again the boring AD come again

Bring MIke Caplan Back

Deleted this app Not very good

Review

This app crashes on a regular basis making this app useless on most occasions.

Too many ads

Too many ads, cant stop them. There are misspellings and grammar errors. Doesnt anyone check the stories before releasing the story?

TOO MANY COMMERCIALS

I wish there wouldnt be so many commercials, especially RUSH MEDICAL. It gets very boring! FIT IT ABC7 Chicago! Or Im moving on to another network!!

Search function

The anchors tout their app but it is useless to try to find anything but what is current. No search function which for a news app doesnt make much sense. Check out NBC 5 Chicago. Much better.

Pointless app

This app never works right. Not in the prior updates nor the newest one. Keeps crashing upon opening the app and inside the app (if you can get there that is). You go to click on a link and it crashes, you click on the app to open it and it crashes, you think about opening the app and it crashes.... USELESS

Newest update

With the newest update the articles and photos do not match and the font is horrible. Please change.

Works great

Works well on my new iphone 5s and ipad air. All have the latest updates and iOS. Great way to keep informed on the go.

App

This new app is not very good. Some time items are horizontal when I want to open certain items they are vertical. Whats up this something if I had ipad horizontal all items were the same. Kindly correct. Mary

Sucky update

Crashes everytime I open it. I can no longer share with Facebook. Think I will remove the app since these last updates have been horrible
