User Reviews

The ABC News app is valued for delivering news content, with some praise for its potential. However, multiple reviews cite reliability and UX problems: crashes and poor streaming, auto-playing videos, heavy ads, update-induced changes, and perceived bias in coverage. Users want better stability, fewer intrusive ads, less intrusive autoplay, and more balanced reporting.

Pros

Provides access to ABC News content and updates, helping users stay informed.
Some reviewers express appreciation for the app and see its potential for future improvements.
A few reviews indicate the app was a valuable source of news, highlighting its role during important events.

Cons

Frequent crashes/shuts down during use and after updates, leading to reliability concerns.
Auto-playing videos with sound by default and background autoplay after closing.
Intrusive advertising (long, frequent ads, including Disney-branded ads) that disrupt the viewing experience.
Perceived bias in reporting (left-leaning slant) that many users find off-putting.
Slow loading/streaming issues and inconsistent startup playback.
