User Reviews

Many reviews express frustration with the iOS app’s reliability and UX. Recurrent problems include notifications failing to open the exact story, misdirected article links, and frequent freezes or crashes. Additional concerns include perceived political bias, stale headlines, and excessive weather content. A minority praise the app for timely updates and relatively easy navigation, but overall sentiment is negative with a clear call for stability and improved UX.

Pros

Timely and comprehensive updates across local, state, and national news.
Easy to manage and navigate.
Decent local news coverage.

Cons

Notifications often don’t link to the specific article and instead open the home page, forcing manual search.
Frequent performance issues including freezes/crashes.
Article links frequently point to the wrong topic or unrelated content.
Perceived political bias or censorship in coverage.
Content freshness issues and heavy emphasis on weather, with older headlines and repetitive weather content.

Recent reviews

Just terrible since the new update. Can only see past or future. No longer both combined. Going backwards.

It is so frustrating when a notification shows up on my phone, hit the link, but it only opens your app. The notification should take you to the article mentioned in the notification. Then I search and search and can never find the article. Waste of my time trying to use your app.

ABC and its parent companies are censoring political views unfavorable to Trump, just because they are scared of getting sued by Trump again. I had to delete the app because of this government censorship interference
