User Reviews

Users generally appreciate ABC27 News for up-to-date local coverage and the convenience of a mobile option when TV access is limited. However, recurring complaints center on the app’s performance and user experience: heavy ads that slow loading and interrupt reading, auto-playing videos with sound, and frequent crashes or slow responsiveness after updates. While some praise the content and alerts, the overall sentiment is that ads and reliability issues overshadow the news.

Pros

Articles are up-to-date and the news content is generally strong.
Useful mobile access to ABC27 news when TV service isn’t available.
Some reviewers praise the content and weekend coverage.
Push notifications for weather alerts and breaking news provide timely information.

Cons

Ad-heavy experience with full-screen ads, long load times, and frequent pop-ups before stories.
Auto-playing videos at the top of stories with sound and limited control.
Reliability issues: crashes, unresponsiveness after updates, and slow performance.
Content loading is inconsistent; stories sometimes fail to load or load slowly.

Recent reviews

Ever want to quickly reach a TV station to compliment or complain? It’s getting harder than ever to do that. Despite operating in the public interest is a requirement by the FCC. However, they don’t want to hear from you. Telephone numbers have disappeared from cell phone apps and there is no longer a quick way to report a happening. Today, Thursday August 6th, ABC27’s noon news program was one of the best aired by this Harrisburg, PA station. The on-air team of adults presented a tight newscast with excellent control room performance. The news stories read by Dennis Owens were augmented by his own field work along with that if Barbara Barr, both experienced reporters. Dan Tomaso’s weather discussion was friendly and included critical detail both local and national. WHTM will never see this comment as they have apparently closed the door to public comment.

I deleted this app and everything related to ABC 27 news, ABC, Disney, Hulu and Nexstar for participating in state sanction censorship. One cannot trust a news source that does not stand for the first amendment and constitutional rights and instead upholds authoritarian fascist rule.
