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.

5 minutes of ads, then you get a minute if news. Then right in the middle of a news article, they cut away and go back to the same ads.... Over and over and over. It makes the app pretty much useless. The app also won't keep playing in the background, so you can't work in another app while using this one. I uninstalled it about 30 minutes after trying it.

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.
