Ratings and reviews

Ever since the latest update, this app keeps putting my phone to sleep 😤 I listen to the news when I shower and get ready for work in the mornings. Also have it playing in the background in my office. It is NOT a timer issue with my phone. The abc7 app is the only one that puts both my phone and tablet to sleep while I am actively watching or listening to it. Netflix, Prime, etc. do not do that. I can watch/listen to entire movies on other apps just fine. But not this one.

They recently updated this app. I really like the newest update. It is customizable and you can read the stories you want. 6/28/20; this needs to be updated again. Anytime my push notification alerts me of a story, I can not click on it and read it. It goes to a blank page. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that didn't help.

This app is just plain bad. The old app was easy to navigate, easy to find information and little excess work to see the news. The new app is very amateurish, with no reguard for smartphone users by the poor use of screen sizing. The new app is just harder to use. Bring back the old app. revised 6-14-23- the app is even worse. Can't highlight text to copy. I'm starting to use other Chicago news apps.
