User Reviews
As I’m scrolling through headlines - over at least 2 updates, the app shuts down Had been a vet reliable app until recently
Closes all of the time before you ever get to the end … Never use to do this … Went from a great app to a terrible app …
After the last update, app shuts down before getting all the news stories. Very biased reporting. You should report all the news without slanting it to fit your opinions. And cover ALL the stories even if it’s about your parent company and programming.
Testing…
Do any of your reporters actually look for the truth when reporting on Trump Your story claims he is against mail in voting but voted that way himself Very misleading and you know it He is against states sending out mail in ballets without them being requested and verified In Florida and most states you can request a mail in ballet but you can not also vote on Election Day. If you send everyone a mail in ballot without requesting it you are inviting fraud. That is a big difference from someone goingYou are supposed to be the press and keep both sides in check you only keep one side in check your story is a false narrative
The three colors used on each news display makes reading the title difficult. Maybe you would consider making the information in red in a smaller font.
The default to videos with sound makes it impossible to check news in certain situations.?? Constsnt updates leaves me looking elsewhere. Sick of your updates. What can be done to end the endless updates? So sick of updates!! Your updates are going to end this for me. You are wearing me out! Updates and updates! Take a break Sick if your updates. I predict your constant updates will come at a price. You have it all wrong. You snd your updates are the worst app out there.
I’m writing this as I delete the app. I’ve grown tired of the auto-playing videos. More frequently they have started autoplaying in the background after the app has been closed. Miss me with that. See you never.
I loved ABC Streaming. I stayed in the know which is terribly important nowadays. Now it sucks! Update is non-functional. Frustrating. I’m shocked this was the result of the update.
I’ve never hated an app so much yet loved it at the same time. There is a Disney ad EVERY time a news segment finishes. 1 minute news segment, 30 second ad, and it’s ALWAYS Ethos or The Rookie. I won’t even watch that show out of pure annoyance.
