ABC channel 7 was quite disappointing as it too has a dysfunctional slanted producer team of subject fake news. It was only a matter of time before our family members asked why is this on or who picked this news station? Im convinced that the ABC family both at the national level and local level have an agenda. Which is to self destruct in due time.

When it is advertised they will air the parade they should air it all.

I downloaded this app as my grandson’s high school band was to march I thought St zpstrick’s day parade. After watching the entire parade his band was last. The stations time of broadcast ran out and as the band marched by they were not given any recognition and were almost completely blocked on screen by bylines. It was poor program planning as enough time was available if the station had shorten some of the interviews to allow time for all the bands to pass by.
I watched a film on utube later and that band was by far the best band in the parade.
I have deleted the app.

Works and has live TV but constantly asks you to log in.

It does work and has live TV which is great. However, it requires you to log in all the time to use it. I have Comcast and logged into Comcast and that login works all the time, but the ABC app ask for the login at least once a day, which quite a pain to enter with the stock remote. It is just too much of a hassle to use.

ABC7...convenient for travelers from the north

I downloaded the ABC7 app to my FireStick so that my family visiting from IL could keep an eye on the winter weather that was moving through the Midwest. They were going to be driving back through that area after leaving us in SC, so it was vital that they see what they might be facing. Otherwise, I wouldn't have downloaded it.

Great! But NOT live tv

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2016

This app works very well. The video quality is the best aspect. Please be aware that this is not live tv. Rather, it is a stream of news casts from the last 24 hours that play on a loop. There are a few commercials between each clip. If you are looking for live TV this app may be be the best choice. If you want streaming newscasts with wondeful quality and few interruptions it is a must have.

Nothing works on this! We start watching the news and they play the same stupid commercial over and over. The broadcast has to be restarted all the time.
