User Reviews

Users praise easy navigation, quick news access, and weather updates, but the app is heavily criticized for intrusive ads and reliability issues after updates. Many report ad interruptions and video ads blocking content; some experience crashes or the app won’t open. A few feel coverage during severe weather isn’t truly live, and a minority accuse biased headlines. Overall, solid information value marred by ad overload and occasional instability.

Pros

Easy to navigate with quick access to local and national news.
Reliable weather updates and alerts from the weather team (including Denis).
A useful source when TV isn’t available, allowing on-the-go news consumption.
Trusted local news brand with consistent coverage and updates.

Cons

Excessive, intrusive ads and pop-ups that interrupt reading and viewing.
Paid ad-free users still report ads or ads reappearing after updates.
App stability issues, including crashes or won't open after updates.
Lack of truly live, real-time coverage during severe weather events.
Some reviews accuse biased or sensational headlines.

I don’t know what happened to this app on my Samsung and Vizio tvs. There are so many ads I counted 14 ads in a row…. The weather played and then the Ads started again. HORRIBLE!!!! When I am away, I like to keep up with our news in Tampa Bay…….right now it is almost completely useless………

Today ABC News suspended journalist Terry Moran for speaking the truth about sicko fascist Stephen Miller. I am therefore suspending EVERYTHING I have to do with ABC News, including this app.

the tone of the headlines is so genuinely insensitive. today you grouped an easter egg hunt between news about 2 murders. it's so weird please just do bullet points or time stamp them in the push notification because the order you put them in is comically insensitive and it's almost everyday
