    Not the best!!

    First- if you want to watch any videos on the app- you are forced to sit through a 30 second commercial- so- no matter how much revenue Action News brings in- they will always be looking for more at the viewer's expense! Next- I guess I'm older- and fondly recall when journalism was defined by a fully complete story- so many times on this app a "story" is "reported" with barely any details! A headline grabbing sentence- but I'd say 75% of the time- reading the "article" provides no real additional details- and then in successive posts to the app by the Action News "journalists"- that's it! No further details are ever provided! They went to college and received a journalism degree for this? It's as laughable as calling Cecily Tynan a "meteorologist" because she can read some cue cards- researched by a true meteorologist! Lastly- and I will use the most recent example of what I feel is irresponsible reporting- they often have a story about something that may be possibly dangerous- this time it was some sort of chocolate flavored energy drink powder that, apparently, people are snorting to get a better buzz. Thanks Action News! I would have never known about the existence of the product, nor would I have ever thought a better "buzz" could be obtained if one "snorted" the product! And I'd guess you also educated numerous teenagers about the product as well! You could almost say your app provided free advertisement for the product! I'm sure the position Action News will take is that the story was meant as a warning- but some things are better left unsaid! All I can say is- what passes today as "journalism".would have failed to pass muster let's say- 10 years ago? The editorial staff would have never allowed such incomplete information to be published! Oh well!

    This App work flawlessly.

    I’ve had this app on my phone for a few years now I never noticed any real major issues. The only thing that sort of annoyed me were the endless paid ads, but I do understand that’s how the new station makes revenue. it’s interesting how people complain about how the app doesn’t work how it’s frozen and glitchy. They failed to mention how old their devices which matters ironically this app runs flawlessly with no glitches no frozen video all of the various categories in the app work and of course the ads are still there and will always be there. I don’t see what the complaint is. It’s not the app. It’s their device before you blame the app. Maybe you should look at your phone because it matters. Keep up the excellent work iPhone 17 Pro Max

    The old version was much better

    I don’t want to sound like someone who simply hates change, but the new version is horrible compared to this new one. I’m simply not a fan of the constant scroll or having to set up the news stories I want to see. How about this, if it’s news report it to me. And when you report it to me do so in an impartial format. The reporters have been doing entirely too much reporting of their thoughts and feelings on subject matters, you report it and I’ll make up my own mind as to which side I’ll believe in. It used to be called an editorial when the editor let everyone else know his thoughts, now you think it’s news whether you agree or not with what’s going on in the world, as a reader and viewer let me inform you of something, I DON’T CARE HOW YOU PERSONALLY FEEL ABOUT ANYTHING, please simply report the FACTS, and bring back the old format, and before you write me off at an elderly grouchy person, I’m 43 I work for a living, and I have my own mind in which to make choices. I am downloading the NBC 10 app, looking at the preview in the App Store it looks so much better. Goodbye ABC 6. You have just been replaced, I’ll keep watching the reviews to see if they post this one, I doubt they will since they only post the news that’s slanted their direction.
