App keeps shutting down

This needs to be fixed. While in the app, when you click on a listed article, the app just shuts down for whatever reason. This is becoming super annoying. Also, I know it’s something with this app because I just did an update. Example, the article about Regina King 26 yr old son passing. When I attempt to read the article, the app shuts down. I actually have to Google the article in order to read it as the it will not allow you to read the article. App just shuts down. This has happen with several other articles but this last time was just so frustrating, I had to post a comment in hopes this can be fixed ASAP.

Good except for the bug

Infrequently (but multiple times since I downloaded the app) I will turn up the volume of my phone and randomly hear someone talking. Despite the app having not even been opened (yes, I checked), ABC News for some reason starts streaming the audio of some current event. This morning it was Mitch McConnell. I never know how long it’s been going on, but a quick check of my data usage shows that this app has been eating up my data in order to spontaneously stream this audio that I didn’t tell it to. The only way to get it to stop is to actually open the ABC News app then close it again.I can’t afford the data loss, so finally made the decision to delete the app. Now to find a replacement...

ABC Propaganda

To be sure, a majority of what is presented by ABC on this app isn’t news, rather it is political propaganda designed to discredit those with whom they disagree—generally conservative voices—while promoting the political views and viewpoints of those with whom they agree—generally liberal and progressive voices. Take the so-called Steele Dossier, which has largely been discredited and disproven. Even so, ABC Propaganda sought to build up Christopher Steele and his political hit-piece paid for by Hillary Clinton and the DNC with a softball interview with former DNC hack George Stephanopoulos. The ‘reporting’ is generally one-sided and lacking the balance one would hope for when looking for news. I’m not a Republican or a Democrat—I’m a political skeptic—and ABC News helped cement my position as such.

Commercial overload

Just downloaded this app to watch the Mary Trump/ George Stephanopolis interview. Found the interview in search and I still haven’t seen it. One commercial of 30 seconds first then the interview? No. It’s either frozen or damaged I see Mary’s face appear but immediately another 30 second commercial plays again, so I wait again. The ad is over Mary’s face appears frozen. Then another 30 second commercial comes on. I wait, Mary’s face... another commercial ...Mary’s face... another commercial. I saw 6 commercials and not one second of the video I came here for. I know this app makes their money on commercials but this is ridiculous. Goodbye ABC NEWS APP back to NBC NEWS App once again.

Videos play while app isn’t open

I really do love the app and would definitely rate it 5 stars for the easy navigation, favorites tab, and how it keeps up with my interests but I can’t. The one single downside to this app is that it plays videos whenever my phone connects to Bluetooth audio and also randomly sometimes. It’s extremely frustrating since I spend a lot of time in my car and my Bluetooth takes a minute to sync with my phone. Every single time I have to pull over and shut off the ABC News app that video that I wasn’t even watching in the first place. If this didn’t happen the app would completely be 5 stars.

Notifications never connect to the story

I like the app overall, it provides a good source of news information both in written form and in news videos. But, I get news headlines popping up in notifications all the time and whenever I tap one because I want more information, it always just takes me to the main “Top Stories” page, and sometimes I can’t even find the article that I tapped on a notification for. It’s very frustrating that a notification will draw my interest, but then I can’t get the information I want to see.

Apple TV App has been horribly broken for months

Dear Disney, please have anyone who is human test this app before releasing it again, it is unusable, full of defects, and a completely awful user experience. Dear devs, the app should not reset when the next story is playing and jump back to the first story, the ads should not continue playing while the news is playing, the app should not spin not knowing what to do. I have to reset the app every day to make it even pickup the latest stories. ABC news is struggling to be relevant against many news apps that just work. Nuff said, good luck turning this ship around, I’ll check back in 6 months - but for now, good riddance.

FIX YOUR APP, ABC NEWS!

This app doesn’t work half the time. I can’t get the news to play, and sometimes it’s because of the ads lagging to load. Other times, it doesn’t matter how long you wait, it just won’t play the news segment at all. It’s gotten worse since the app added ads before each segment. I like ABC news, but this app is the worst! I’ll likely use other apps for news if it doesn’t improve with the next update. The order of segments for longer shows, like 20/20 make it impossible to watch, because you have to scroll down to segment 1 of 11 and by the time you get there, it’s frozen up because it can’t handle not playing all the ads. Pretty much useless. FIX YOUR APP, ABC NEWS!!!

It just randomly decides to play audio

I had to delete the app because there’s an extremely bizarre glitch it’s been having lately: it starts playing audio of a news feed, while the app is closed. And it’s nearly impossible to turn off. It actually drained my battery and used God only knows how much data because it was doing it for hours once before I finally realized it (my phone was on silent so I couldn’t actually hear it). It happens at least a couple of times a week. I like the news updates, and I feel ABC is better with doing updates than Fox or CNN or anyone else, and the app looks nice enough, but this has caused me to delete it. If it can turn itself on without me doing it, what else can it do without my knowledge? With recent security and privacy concerns about Iphones, it does make me wonder.

Great app but..

I hope the people behind this app see this and make a fix for it because it’s getting kind of annoying and makes me want to just delete the app all together. When I have the app closed and go to turn my volume up or down (when I’m listening to music or watching a video on another app) all of a sudden ‘ABC NEWS LIVE’ will start to play in the background without me even having the app open. It keeps going until I actually OPEN the app and FORCE it to shut off but closing the app. It’s the strangest thing and it’s just getting annoying so I’m hoping y’all come up with a solution but I don’t think I’m the only one.
