ABC7 Los Angeles App Reviews

91 add

Love app, but...

No one needs the number of alerts that this site seems to think we need to see each day. You made it so simple to add the notifications, but extremely difficult to stop them! It is clear what you and I think is important are on the opposite ends of the spectrum.

Ads

This is ridiculous, insane and annoying 30Sec Ads seriously!!!!! Get real people. Theres already enough advertisement everywhere, billboards, while watching TV, even calling your privacy of your home or cell. Shame on you!! I uninstalled

Tease Me

This app used to give brief synopsis of breaking news, now it gives annoying teasers to follow a story in their broadcast. Not to mention, 30 second clips. If yo dont mind fragmented headlines, this is for you.

Notifications dont work

When I tap on the pop up notification the app NEVER opens that news. I cant even find the news not in any section. NEVER EVER. I HATE THIS.

Not what it used to be

This used to be a useful app. Now its nothing more than a representation of their website. Please give us a setting to receive push notifications for breaking news ONLY, not for "teasers" for upcoming stories on your broadcasts and feature story replays.

Useless

This app is useless in that it doesnt provide live streaming for broadcasts. (Important for me due to poor OTA reception where I live.) Im deleting it.

Bugs Continue...

When you select one of the five microclimate screens in the weather section, you better be ready to make a commitment. Once you select it and go back to pick another region, the first one keeps popping up unless you totally close the app and reopen it. I reported this issue a while before this version was released, but no change, just more ads. This used to be a very good app, but given this and the other review comments here it has now become rather sad and pathetic, and soon to be on my list of deleted apps.

TOO MANY ADS!!

Used to be a great app, but like others have said, there are too many ads! There is no point in watching a AD before every news story. ABC 7, heres a work around for you. Once the app opens show a 30 second ad and thats it, NO more ads before news stories! Problem will be solved and people will be happy.

Crashing

I love abc7 but I hate the app it always crashes when Im trying to watch live and plays the same visit San Diego commercial. This app can and should be better

Terrible ads

If I could give this a zero, I would. The ads are extremely obtrusive and once the open (whether I click on them or not) they will not close by hitting the "x" in the lower right hand corner. So I am deleting the ap permanently, because ABC7 should never have let this happen.

Phishing banner ads - Dont trust!

This app featured phishing ads, trying to get users to supply personal information. The banner ad looked like a Facebook navigation bar with a message. When you click the banner, a new window opens with information about your device and ISP, the phishing lure continues. When you click past that, a false Facebook site loads and attempts a login. ABC should be ashamed of these banners. Dont trust this app!!!! I have screenshots of each step.

Ads

The last thing I need when I want to read serious news is flashing icons guaranteeing that I just won a million dollars. This crap keeps up Ill have to find another news source. To bad no one has anything on the inland empire.

Too many ads

I see a trend here. Text me when you fix it!

Annoying

You can not turn off notifications......very annoying deleted it!

Too many ads

I understand that have to pay bills but theres a 30 second ad for every video. Lot of times video is shorter than the ad.. And whats even worse its usually the same ad over and over again.

Bugs, bugs

App crashes when you try to view a viewers submitted picture. Closed captioning worked on previous revisions, does not on the current revision.

Too many ads

Old version was much better and easier to follow . Get too many blinking messages for give always that I dont want to see!

WHAT were you thinking!?!?!

New version of app has super-annoying blinking red message light that cant be turned off. Select ANYthing on the lower bar and it dumps you into an unclosable ad. Super annoying. Done with this app unless you fix it.

Ch 7 App

I am annoyed with the flashing ad at bottom of news app! Ugh!! Its the icon that looks like a message, but is just an ad. I cant even get it to disappear unless I click on it and then it just reappears. Please have this removed! I cant even enjoy reading the news because it is distracting/annoying.

Garbage

The flashing icons on the bottom are annoying and deceptive. Im done.
