ABC 7 New York

The app had been good, but recent update made it terrible! When you open an article, a video of the browdcast opens up at the top of your phone. After you get rid of the video (there are times when you can't listen or would just prefer to read quietly rather than watch a video) it pops back up again. And again. AND AGAIN!! A user shouldn't have to keep getting rid of a video! It's annoying!

Don't bother installing, just make a shortcut to the web site instead, which is more responsive, doesn't have permanent navigation bar on top, and the videos can be cast to chromecasr in browser. The only app advantage would be the notifications, but the text on those is oftem cut off, so its unreadable, and they often don't bring you to the article when tapped. It has been this way, and hasn't been fixed, for literally years.

I absolutely hate the very annoying ads when I just want to open and read a news segment or story. It's the same annoying ad everytime! STOP IT! It's spoiling my enjoyment of this otherwise excellent app. Yes, I can "x out" of this awful ad and video autoplay, but I have to do this EVERY SINGLE time. Sometimes, I just want to read a story, not watch a video with the annoying ad that comes before it.
