ABC News: Breaking News Live

Just as good as the iPad version, the first news app I use on the go

When running this on AppleTV if you bring it up after a reboot it works great, maybe after you turn it on a day later. But at some time it just shows a blank screen but you can hear the audio. The solution ids you have to reboot AppleTV.

Thank you tremendously for redesigning your dependable news app & including dark mode for better readability! Is there an option to enable notifications in Settings?? Don't see this option as compared to other ABC news apps (ex: NY or LA). Would really love an option for medium or large home screen news widgets in the future. (For those who want a quick look at latest headlines).

The largest turn off is a lack of a dark mode option. While readable, having that would make the app all the better for those who find it more difficult to read against a light background. Adding a broader selection of subject content to browse from (food, travel, more specific news content) is a lesser issue but would make the app more appealing overall.

Too many adds. Now, impossible to bypass. I deleted the app and am now getting my news elsewhere.

The app is great, and I prefer ABC because it’s as close to political as possible for a major US network. But this app randomly starts playing audio, even when it hasn’t been opened. The only way to turn it off is to open the app and close/kill it. It’s super annoying and can cause massive data overages if I don’t catch it. Please fix this bug!

I was at an interview and heard my phone playing a loud audio (talk show), had to close all apps but audio was still there. Had to mute the phone. After my interview audio was still playing. To stop it I had to play music. Few days later same thing, till I discovered it was ABC app launching audio without being told. Had to delete it (was freaked out that my phone was hacked). Fix this issue please.

Fix it

Without current information due to travel I find this keeps me informed of developing events.

Too negative on Trump... As a Canadian I’m watching from the sidelines but seriously, your bias towards Trump is getting so ridiculous I can’t trust any of your news anymore! We as a family used to love your news but it’s like 99% negative news on Trump & that’s just not reality. It’s gotten to the point where it’s a laughing stock in my engineering circles where I work & this feeling is quite widespread. I know you in the Media hate Trump, we get that loud & clear... But it doesn’t give you the right to abandon all journalistic standards to try and destroy him. What you’re trying to do is having the opposite effect. Please get this message to your bosses... “We used to love your programming but your endless Trump bashing is destroying your credibility & chasing us away! We have had it with the political bias & we are shutting you off!” (We hope one day you’ll come to your senses! The Great Michael Jordan (a Democrat) once said in response to those urging him to become political... “Republicans buy shoes too”, as in it would be terrible for business to disenfranchise half his customers... Maybe the hate for Trump is so extreme now in Media circles that there’s just no way to return to the regular L of Centre news media we grew up with, which is quite sad. My wife & I have decided to delete the ABC News App as a result of what I have said... just the words of a humble engineer & his wife/family & we don’t expect you’ll even take the time to respond or even care we are leaving.
