Ratings and Reviews
Perfect but please let me get push notifications for breaking news!
The ABC News app is phenomenal with the new update. Love the design, layout and general usability of it. ABC has always been my favorite news source and I watch World News Tonight with David Muir, GMA, This Week, 20/20 and Nightline regularly. Love having all of that content in the app as well as the podcasts however for some reason since this last update it doesn’t let me get breaking news push notifications which I really like. Please add this back I’m not sure if it’s a bug or glitch but it’s a very important feature to me!
It just randomly decides to play audio
I had to delete the app because there’s an extremely bizarre glitch it’s been having lately: it starts playing audio of a news feed, while the app is closed. And it’s nearly impossible to turn off. It actually drained my battery and used God only knows how much data because it was doing it for hours once before I finally realized it (my phone was on silent so I couldn’t actually hear it). It happens at least a couple of times a week. I like the news updates, and I feel ABC is better with doing updates than Fox or CNN or anyone else, and the app looks nice enough, but this has caused me to delete it. If it can turn itself on without me doing it, what else can it do without my knowledge? With recent security and privacy concerns about Iphones, it does make me wonder.
Swipe Right Now Gone
Just opened the latest update and previously, after reading an article, I could swipe right, anywhere on the screen, to go back to the main page, with the list of stories. Best feature of any news app. Now, just like every other news app I have tried, I need to swipe down, to get the backup arrow to appear, and then reach up to the top left corner, to back up. I might as well use the CBS app, which I previously deleted, since the ABC interface was much more intuitive and cleaner. Now it it no different than the others, so any incentive to use this app is now gone. Don’t fix what isn’t broken. Just lost me. Bye.
