ABC13 Houston News & Weather App Reviews

To many commercials

To many commercials, 30 seconds of commercials even just to watch a news video.

Newest update full of popup ads

Since the newest update, I cannot open the app or any of the articles without being directed to the Apple Store to buy some crappy game.

Keep on opening appstore

Recent update broke the app. It acts as if I clicked on an app commercial and keeps on opening up the appstore for a game. I am going to delete this app until they fix this issue. It happens everytime you load the app for the first time. It is unacceptable. I hope they release a fix soon(unless this is their new policy to spam people)

Good app, bad popups

Been using 2 years. Recent popup ads to the App Store killing it. WT

Gone from great to crap.

This used to be a great app but now it send me to the App Store way to much. Im done using this and will go with someone else

Disappointing. Expected better

Im disappointed in CH 13 and this app. The "keep reading" Section features tabloid type , trash journalism and sensationalistic type articles. Some very disturbing and mostly unnecessary featured articles. I can see those on different apps if I wanted to, I was looking for a professional and mature news app.

Error 7

Whatever you updated has trashed an app Ive used for over a year. It was one of my favorites now its unusable.

Used to be my "go to" news app

I suggest you start using professional proofreaders - today there is a story about an accident in which the driver hit a tractor trailer and your story said "tracker trailer".... Whatever update youve done to now send me to App Store every 3 minutes in hopes that I will download Mobile Strike game makes your station lose any and all credibility to report the news! Also, your reports always have spelling errors which is infuriating!

App Store redirects...

Any app that resorts to such sleazeball advertising gets deleted...period! Bye.

Please fix this app

The app keeps opening to the App Store when I try to scroll through the stories. There are a lot of misspellings as well.

Disproportionate lengthy ads

Very annoying to have to sit through 30 sec ads to watch a 15-30 sec news video. CNN limits most web app ads to 15 secs and doesnt have them on every clip. Why cant you do the same?

Love the app but hire copy editor

For all things righteous PROOF READ BEFORE YOU POST!! Titles, articles, captions... Just please proof it before ya post it. I nominate myself. I will even do it for a quarter an article. Or doughnuts. Otherwise its actually really good except for the advertising "articles" now being above the two actual articles at the bottom of every article.

Dont install this app

This app has a very annoying feature - or bug -- whatever you want to call it. If you click on a video whether intentionally or accidentally, you do not have the option to X (exit out) of the video. This is very annoying and if you accidentally click a video at a time where silence is required, there is no way to quickly silence it aside for trying to lower the volume manually or by killing the app. I just uninstalled.

Ad on every video!!!

That just too much!! Besides I need to mute or pause the ad at my leisure.. This one is basically another Source of income for the network. Just downloaded at going to delete it now!!! My Fb brings me better local news with less ads

Breaking news

I dont feel its right to watch a commercial first to view breaking news

Alerts!

Too many alerts for insignificant stuff! You guys need to change settings where this is an option to adjust frequency of alerts! Im deleting app!

Waaaaaaaay too many useless alerts

I dont see a way to specify what type of alerts you want. Deleted the app.
