1. 5/5Very very 1-sided

   Honestly, I see all sides, no one can predict my choice behind the Nov. curtain, 😉 * but I’ve decided not to watch ABC bc it’s very one-sided. Very partisan! I want all sides of all issues, I don’t need your opinion. Especially when it sounds so wimpy when broadcasted, time to grow a pair. This is exactly why ppl are moving out of Cali by the thousands... California was never so prejudice nor partisan. I grew up here as an immigrant (of value to USA) But sympathizing to the extreme of condoning looting is anti-American! And giving air-time to such is giving value. Where’s your BackBone? Brass Ovaries? Show so integrity! Pls. You have the power to DEFUSE or add Gasoline. You’re not defusing! You should be ashamed~ My sons are Active Duty Military TODAY fighting for the American Way, incl. Freedom of Speech, But not freedom to destroy & commit crimes, That’s not honoring anyone, especially our people who protect us! Putting down all Police is just not intelligent, that’s ridiculous, There are Bad ppl everywhere, even in your offices, But most people are Good, Look at the percentage, there’s your fact, enough said, Stop making EVERYTHING about Skin color, That’s Not the California Way, never has been You asked~ L’

2. 5/5The app does not automatically switch from portrait to landscape mode.

   The app is useless if it does not automatically switch from portrait to landscape mode. A use case where this is a problem is when it is use during cardio workout on an exercise machine. With phones having the earphone jack at the bottom, the phone can not sit on the exercise machine in the portrait position so having to pickup the phone everytime a news video is played to switch the video into landscape mode is not practical.

3. 2/5Last straw today - DELETED

   I’ve used this app for a few years and lived with a lot of annoyances. One longtime issue was the app throwing up an alert about a news development on the lock screen, but when going to the app, it merely linked to the “home” screen. Sometimes merely finding the story mentioned in the alert was difficult (you’d think that it would be the top story given it was the subject of the lock screen alert). Well, they finally fixed that, but TODAY I kept encountering another super annoying issue. While reading one story, the app kept switching to a different story. It did this 4 times. The first time I thought I might have hit a link within the story I was reading. The next few times I was careful not to touch any text that might have been a link. Finally on the 4th try, I just watched the screen without touching. Sure enough, after about 20-30 seconds, the app just loaded the same story AGAIN about LA Police capturing Nipsey Hussle’s killer. In fact it’s something I had already looked at when opening the app. Anyway, I have no tolerance for apps that decide what I want to see when I’m trying to see something else. Its deleted, gone... good riddance!

4. 3/5What Happened?

   We have been using this for quite a while since we cut the cord on cable TV. The content plays fine, it’s the ads that most of the time get stuck in a constant download state. Nothing plays, this morning I started watching the 6am broadcast (at 8am). When it went to an ad I started cooking breakfast, after 10min of no sound I checked and the app was stuck on a 30sec ad and the download circle just spun. Ten minutes later it’s still spinning. This ridiculous behavior is frustrating and unnecessary. Your content plays fine and buffers nicely, why can’t you do the same with the ads you force us to watch? Done with ABC until this is fixed. Goodbye.

5. 1/5I can’t with this app anymore

   After a few years of dealing with this app I’m finally deleting it. I can’t anymore with how terrible it is. For starters the ads inside are such icky scam clickbait that it makes the news seem entirely unreliable. And I’ve sent messages to the creators about it before but I HATE that I have zero control over the news that gets pushed to my home screen. I should be able to say no to getting endless updates about sports, celebrity news, this person said WHAT? On Twitter??? BS, and for getting every single second play by play about things that don’t matter to me: “EVENT is today!” “We’re counting down to EVENT!” “EVENT is about to start” “EVENT just started” on and on until I want to die. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP. THE NEWS IS NOT WORTH IT. THE TYPOS AND INCOMPLETE REPORTING ARE NOT WORTH IT. NOTHING THAT IS PROVIDED IS WORTH HOW ANNOYING THIS APP IS.
