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.

App doesn't always open. I end up having to close all apps and reopen to get it to work. Features in the app do not work (links for video or pictures) and ALOT of the articles and stories have a ton of grammatical and spelling errors. *UPDATE* Here it is 7 years later (Feb. '22) and the same remarks still apply. Nice job whoever maintains this app. How silly of me to think they might actually address the issues and fix them.

I primarily use this app to stay updated on the weather. The daily forecasts are pretty accurate, and the videos of the weather broadcasts are definitely helpful. I have experienced a couple glitches with the app. The hour by hour temperature forecast is often incorrect, and it seems to be displaying the "real feel" temperature instead of the actual temperature. The other problem I frequently experience is the live Doppler radar images of precipitation not appearing on the maps at all. Edited
