  1. 5/5Great App!

    I love this app use it all the time. The weather portion is great. I turned on the alert so I am up-to-date with any breaking news in my area. I would love to see “a things to do” section I know there some here and there but I’d like to kind of like an event what’s going on in Pinellas and Hillsboro. Other than that it’s great I would download it as soon as possible.

  2. 2/5Useless for weather radar for the whole day

    I got this app because I thought it would provide an entire day’s radar forecast, it doesn’t do anything even worthwhile, you can only see what happened, which you already know! I’m guessing that Scripts has done what most greedy companies have done, and placed anything useful behind a “PAY WALL”, which for a broadcast company is the epitome of GREED. This app is useless for all practical purposes, and I’ll be deleting it after this review. I will also not be watching ABC-28 (or ANYTHING ABC) from now on. They present little more than propaganda anyway.

  3. 1/5Completely useless when needed

    There were tornadoes around my area so I tried to use this app to follow the weather from the safe place in my home. Absolutely no live coverage overnight. Just the pre-recorded segments that had zero to do with what was happening live. Had to leave the bathroom repeatedly to get updates from the TV, and was doing this as the tornado was passing over my home. Luckily, it had lifted off the ground by that point, but me or my family could’ve been hurt. This is just pre-recorded videos and advertisements. Mostly advertisements. This app is NOT a helpful tool in an emergency.

  4. 1/5Terrible, awful, no good, very bad update

    Ever since the app updated about 1-2 months ago, it’s absolutely terrible. I used to read news on this app all the time, but it times out, brings you to headlines that are not in the notification I clicked on, and it’s nothing but a bunch of interstitial ads that don’t work or you watch and then scroll down to read the story and ANOTHER ad pops up. Awful. I literally look at notification headlines then just do an internet search to read on other sites. What a shame

  5. 5/5ABC Action News

    I love this app. It keeps me informed when I can't be home watching ABC Action News. ABC Action News is the only News program I watch. I watch it every morning and evening and night. Keep up the great work and all your great personalities that you have on the program. There isn't one that I don't like.

    • A new weather radar map from our weather provider is in this app update, as our weather provider will discontinue the old radar map in the near future. Please be sure to update to this version of our app to ensure your weather radar map continues to display radar in the future. To upgrade the new radar map, we had to update the app's code base to support the latest iOS operating system versions.

    Our version 7.0 mobile app has a brand new look and feel! You'll still get all the up-to-the-minute breaking news, accurate weather, and in-depth investigations from the station you know and trust, but in a new package. We've spent months talking with readers and viewers like you to understand what's most important. This new mobile app is a direct result of your feedback, so thank you! Our new design brings a bold, fresh focus to the biggest news of the day. YOUR PREFERENCE FOR NEWS UPDATES Readers told us that being able to choose how they read the news is a top priority. A new menu at the top of the Home screen gives you more control over how you read the news in our app. Choose "Top News" to read news stories curated by our local news team as the most important news of the day or choose "Most Recent" to read news stories published most recently. 24/7 LIVE STREAMING VIDEO In the new "Watch" tab, our news is streaming any time you want to watch. Whether it's our 24/7 streaming channel, or video on demand clips, you're in control over what you want to watch, and when you want to watch it. DARK MODE Making sure the app reflects your preference on how you use your device was also important to you, whether your device is in Light Mode or Dark Mode. Our new app honors that system preference and gives you the choice to use the app in Light Mode or Dark Mode. We’re excited to see the new mobile app in action and hope you are too. Let's keep the conversation going. Have feedback on the new design? Let us know in the app by going to Tools > Contact Support.
