5 ★ I know you are excited for an app in Bay area, but it's great looking forward to you and it's good news team.

1 ★ News 7 does not care about the quality of their app. Do not download. Notifications are terrible. Rarely do they open and when they do open, more times than not an entirely unrelated story appears than what the alert indicated. Makes the alert useless. Opening the app is just as bad as the story is still nowhere to be found.

5 ★ Yes this is Harriet Davis called I'm trying to get to the news cast and they keep messing with my phone I'm in the Radisson hotel in room 158 they keep taking all my documents off the phone and it got bit by rats that have turned my refrigerator and freezer off and I'm just tired of the whole situation to eat her been off since last night and starting to feel sick and my stom ach is hurting and someone need to come and do something about it

1 ★ I wanted to give feedback on your ABC 7 News at 11 but could not find a feedback form. The news at 11 format is terrible. it is confusing and convoluted and has very little news. You start out by saying what you're going to say then saying a bit of it then some additional headlines with music in the background. I is very jumbled and confusing. After watching you for many years, I will find another station.

2 ★ I would only constantly get notifications for things I didn't ask for, no matter what I did, I couldn't stop it. Very rarely would any of the notifications be something I was even slightly interested in and then it was impossible to share the story on social media or anyone in my phone contacts. I had to delete the app, it was getting too annoying.

1 ★ I would say that 70% of the time I am not able to watch the news videos due to long periods of "buffering" followed by an error msg. stating "the abc7 app is not responding". This is so frustrating and has happened ever since I downloaded the app well over a year ago. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling a couple times which does nothing. Probably going to uninstall and stick with Kron 4 app.

2 ★ Notifications open in the app but does not show any content right away. Takes about 60-120 seconds. Voting notifications only show, "Megaphone TV," with no voting ootions. It doesn't seem to work well at all. Also, moving between articles is difficult. Seems to move too fast so it's hard to focus on one article. Too much back and forth scrolling. Finally, the link to feedback is broken.

2 ★ App has a decent design and in theory could work well to deliver on what it's intended to do, but the execution is very flawed. This app is more unstable than any other news app I've ever used on Android. Expect frequent crashes and blank pages when trying to load from notifications. There are constant hangups trying to load videos, and when watching a live feed doing things like rotating the phone or taking screenshots will disconnect from the stream. This app has potential, but it needs work.

1 ★ missing a very key tool. there is no search bar, at all anywhere. I mostly downloaded this for proper traffic updates. and I cant find the traffic section anywhere. in fact I cant find any "section" anywhere. everything is all just thrown together on a home screen. what's the point of picking favorite topics if I cant actually click on the topic and be taken to a relevant page. deleted.

1 ★ Stories are slow to load. It's also hard to scan headlines for stories of interest. The old version was much better.

2 ★ Super slow just like the browser website. It's unbelievable how long it takes to load an article. My phone WiFi is near 100Mbps download speed from Speedtest. On my computer I am plugged into fiber going excess of 800Mbps. Yet it takes 30 seconds just to load a page from the ABC App and website. Good luck streaming video on this. The quality loads as slowly and looks as good as a RealPlayer stream from the 90s. It's always like this. KGO needs to invest in networking and upload videos to Youtube

2 ★ I grew watching ABC7 Bay Area. Have been loyal viewer over 60 years. So I thought it would be nice to have the app. I installed several years ago. I Like the news in the app, but found that the share button never worked. Frustrating when the information is important enough to share, but can't. So I Uninstalled. Back to present tense, and still cannot share to help alert others in my community. Disappointed, I will uninstall once again. Never had response from previous complaint. Sad.

1 ★ Sony Android 9: App is terrible. I'd get daily notifications that'd open app when I click on it, but video would not load, like it was so big that it took too long to load. So, I'd have to abandon app & search for it on my Chrome browser in order to actually watch the video. Also any links in the app failed to launch. Seems like it was trying to open in app & couldn't do it. It didn't know how to open a web page through the browser externally, & app is just a container of the text. Uninstalled

3 ★ 1. too many updates on individual news items. I just need the story once + major updates not every new detail or angle pushed to my phone. 2.Pics in the notification take up too much space so that I don't have enough of the actual headline. 3.I have to back all the way out of the app after reading a story otherwise when I click on another news notification it takes me back to the previous story and whatever I wanted to click on is lost.

1 ★ I wish this app would work I really do!! When I see a news story I want to see I am able to watch the ads uninterrupted however the news articles themselves play for about 4 seconds then freeze up and will not play. Come on guys please fix this. I have tried adjusting the video settings on my end but I get the same result.
