User Reviews

Users praise ABC News for reliable coverage and accurate weather, and broad news reach, but report recurrent issues with ads, crashes, and video playback UX, plus unreadable small fonts due to lack of font size options. Overall sentiment is positive but stability and usability problems hinder a seamless experience.

Disney+ ecosystem integration appreciated.

Cons

Intrusive ads and forced video ads that block content.
App instability with frequent crashes or closing on its own.
Video playback UX issues: screen goes to sleep or video stops frequently; no easy fix.
Small font size with no option to adjust.

Recent reviews

I trust them from way back when Peter Jennings was the anchor. The news has always been unadulterated compared to their vixen counterparts and shameless competitions who hire and fire clowns at will. The View is the standard. It kills it's competitors and exposes their inadequacies. ABC is the only news app on my phone. ABC IS THE BEST IN THE NEWS GAME.
