ABC7-WJLA Reviews

Bad, bad,bad

JLEDB

One of the worst apps I have ever seen! Will remove it at once

I've been using this app as my go-to for local news for a few years, but their recent update has me looking for other options. The interface is harder to navigate, and now adds take up most of the screen on the home page.

Too many Promo notifications

Folsomite

I used to use this app but now I get pelted with unwanted notifications like "we're live at Good Morning. Join us". Pleeeeze. Just dumping the whole app rather than turning off notifications.

No Good

Skiingbabyb

This particular app only provides guidance in using the app---nothing else.

Used to be good

2blueyam

This used to be the best local DC news app. It is now a worthless mess with almost no real content, unless you like ABC ads and pop culture in your "news" app.

Worthless

Budger

No sound, long commercials, confusing. WJLA, hire a real app programmer. Deleting it now.

Can't get any sound

JenieBeanie

I have tried reloading this app several times in hope that I can get sound on the video news pieces. No luck! What's wrong with this app?

The Worst News App in the Entire App Store

Biscayne54

Channel 7 offers interesting stories that 4 and 9 neglect, but the app is so pathetically constructed the articles cannot be read as the words at the end of each line run off the page, leaving the reader trying to guess what the missing words are (I was hoping the updated version would correct this). Preceding every video, there is an Easterns Motor commercial which freezes repeatedly, taking a couple of minutes before the video can be viewed. In most cases, it's just not worth the necessary patience. In the typed text, an Easterns Motor logo floats over the words, forcing one to move the page up and down in order to be able to read around it. I don't know if it's a lack of programming aptitude or a lack of integrity that causes this app to be so very poor - what I am certain of, is that it is lacking tremendously.

Never able to watch broadcast

Pjc067

Any alert u get. U will never be to watch the broadcast, it all ways crashes but don't worry they make sure to waste ur time and have u watch the Eastern's ad.

This app used to be my go to for Washington DC area news and weather. But now just freezes on the home screen. Look elsewhere.
