Ratings and reviews

I have the auto play videos disabled and still get errors that the app can't play the video. I don't want the video to play so why is it trying to play it? *** EDIT*** App crashes a lot on articles pertaining to the recent conflict in the Ukraine. If you share the link to a browser the article is displayed without issue. ABC Development Team would you please fix this app?

UPDATE: 7/22/20: Galaxy S20 Ultra experiences same slowness upon loading. New problems are that when I tap a story in the Notification bar, it loads the PREVIOUS story I was viewing. Considering ABC7NY is the best newscast in the city, you would THINK that they would pay at least a little attention to the app. May have to change my loyalties to CBS and their app. Was great. Now it takes 10 to 11 seconds to load. Please fix. OnePlus 7 Pro Edit: Cannot believe it's been 9 MONTHS since my initial review (above}, and the issue persists. Update the app perhaps? Can't be the only one as this is happening on multiple phones, most recently a Pixel 4 XL. Have the most up to date version of app and Android.

Don't bother installing, just make a shortcut to the web site instead, which is more responsive, doesn't have permanent navigation bar on top, and the videos can be cast to chromecasr in browser. The only app advantage would be the notifications, but the text on those is oftem cut off, so its unreadable, and they often don't bring you to the article when tapped. It has been this way, and hasn't been fixed, for literally years.
