Ratings and reviews

Aug 19 - Just downloaded/installed newest version. Installing was successful and the app does not crash as it did in previous versions (thanks guys). As for the adds in the videos it is no different than watching videos on my computer. I just turn off the sound and wait. May 3 - just uninstalled latest version - shuts down within 5 seconds of opening app. Not good, ABC News programmers :-(. Don't waste your time installing this app until it is fixed. Using Samsung S8 Android smartphone.

ABC News is among the top news sources available. Would love to see a video shorts feature, sort of like CNN & NBC News. This addition would be an excellent enhancement for the app. Also, larger news cards would be good, as the larger cards are better on the eyes.

I trust them from way back when Peter Jennings was the anchor. The news has always been unadulterated compared to their vixen counterparts and shameless competitions who hire and fire clowns at will. The View is the standard. It kills it's competitors and exposes their inadequacies. ABC is the only news app on my phone. ABC IS THE BEST IN THE NEWS GAME.
