Reviews

WJLA app for iPhones
Springfield viewer

Looks great, but I cannot get ANY sound. No place to unmute if that is the issue. Other local station apps do have sound so phone volume is at working level. I deleted app and reinstalled but still have no audio. My husband downloaded app to his (same version)IPHONE and it has audio. My audio works fine for all other functions. Would like for audio transcript to be available as well. Update 6/30/18: we were able to fix the audio issue!


Bait & Switch

Flash-House ON FIRE! Or 2 Kids Ejected from SUV ! Wait for it ... Commercial for Anything-/ Then Weather Report ...Then Nothing... Bait & Switch: Delete This Non News Worthy App


AWFUL HORRIBLE APP
WJLA 7 DC - Terrible App

The worst of any DC area broadcast station. No live news. Deleting you now. Your advertisers are idiots and will never sell anything by virtue of this monstrosity.


Landscape

This app could us some updating. I read a number of local and national news sites, but this is the only one that only allows portrait mode. I prefer landscape, but maybe I’m in the minority.


No live TV
Dash D.

I downloaded this app thinking there would be an option to watch a live stream of ABC7 but could not find that option. There are features to watch clips though. The website’s live player works poorly on a mobile device, so my only option right now is either my computer at home through my cable provider’s website, or on the physical TV. Please consider allowing XFinity to stream ABC7 to mobile devices even when they are not connected to their home WiFi. Thank you.


No sound with iPhone

I’m not sure why but all the videos play without sound. The rest of the app is useful in providing new local stories every 24 hours.


Notifications do not link to actual story
Tqb73

Why send me a notification and want to me read more only for it not to link to the actual story. Taking me to the main splash page of the app and forcing me to search for the story is not helpful.


No audio

No audio on iPhone when you play live tv


Cannot get app to refresh

Get msg Oops somethings wrong and app will mot refresh on iPhone ios. Latest update makes app useless.


Pretty lame
celinenme

As someone else said, you get a notification and it doesn’t take you to the story. I guess they think we’re staring st our phones waiting for the notifications. This station has gotten more lame in recent months in their reporting and it shows in what they decide to alert one to in the notifications. It would be nice if you could choose what you want to be alerted to instead of notifications about things that aren’t urgent and you could see on the news that night.
