I can't send in feedback. When I click on Feedback Form, it says "Page Not Found". Aug. 20, 2020: This app is good at updating me with the latest news, but it takes WAY TOO LONG to open in my Samsung Galaxy S8. ABC13 should check into this problem. Update as of 3/28/2021: News coverage spotty or nonexistent. I've been checking the app for hours and have not seen coverage of U of H's victory over Syracuse last night. I did see it on KHOU Channel 11's and KPRC Channel 2's apps.

20220112: Still the same, BARELY WATCHABLE. Watching Houston's ABC 13 is problematic, the stream feed has very bad switching. They switch to ads abruptly, always cutting off the last 15 - 30 seconds of weather, traffic, ect. The ad that's first shown is then cut short for another ad. I watch from 5 to 7am weekdays as part of my wakeup routine, these jolting ad changes are aggravating. So much so, I don't recommend trying to watch Channel 13 from the internet app or by browser.

3/28/2019. The performance is terrible, unusable actually. I have a OnePlus 6T and after the first two articles are read, it takes a minimum of 10 seconds, often longer to get to the next article. I have a 28 Mb/sec WiFi link. I do not use the video reports, I want to read the copy. I feel swamped with adverts. Worse than clickbait. Maybe it is designed better on iOS. There could definitely be a better way to cache the ads so bandwith is not swamped with them and smothering the news feed.

The app does a good job at keeping me current on the latest news. There are a couple of issues I've been having. Whenever I go to watch a video, the app force closes and the only way I can really watch the video is to go online to their website. In addition, when I click on a link in my notification bar, the app takes quite a while to load the article. Hope this gets fixed soon.

Older version no longer worked, so was forced to update. On new version, none of the videos can go into full screen mode. Also, every time you rotate your phone (when playing a video), video restarts. The 1 minute weather update was great, but not being able to play it full screen is a disappointment. Time to search for a new app, will give KPRC 2 a try.
