Just a few minutes ago a notice came through about Alex Trebec’s passing. Your article was the best and most detailed and informative. You track the weather so folks will be kept up to date quickly about any pertinent information. You have other articles that let folks know was is happening around the Valley and Northern Arizona. That was crucial when there were several dangerous fires all around.
I love the news coverage via ABC15, but I get so tired of watching ads if I want to listen to a story rather than reading. But what REALLY chaps my hide, is waiting thru the adds to get the “story” and it’s just crappy music with captions added. Now why in the world wound ANYONE want to watch an add and read it any way, set to music. It’s stupid!! My last rant is, why don’t you call it Phoenix 15? For all of Arizona residents who count on news about ARIZONA, we get precious little about any thing else in the news about the other cities in this state. Once in awhile, if there’s a major tragedy in Prescott, Flagstaff, etc., you night cover it. But for the most part, you are catering to the Vally, NOT to the state. So here’s a thought. Own it, call it Valley 15 or something, or step up and CHANGE IT, and make it TRULY Arizona’s Family. Right now it really does not represent ARIZONA’S Family.
I have used a lot of the smart shopper stories to eat a lot of food, and the weather section has never steered me wrong. Been enjoying all the monsoon weather and Pei Wei specials due to the ABC 15 app!! I signed up for notifications and so far no annoying frequent pop ups it seems like mostly really interesting breaking stories, or crazy sales. It keeps me up to date on all my pertinents and such
I love this app! I always check it in the morning as I’m leaving the house to find out what kind of traffic is going on around the valley! They are always on point and make sure to post things are relevant to what’s happening in our city! Keep doing a great job!
I love getting the news blips as they happen however when I switch to the app to continue reading the “teaser”, it’s not easy to find... I am specifically referring to the COVID-19 daily updates. Sometimes I’m on the phone when the news comes across and trying to find the numbers from that is not easy navigatingThrough the app. I wish that your app would go directly to the most recent news ticker....
While the news content is excellent the app has its problems. Once I’m done reading an article, the only way for me to move on to read other articles is to close the app entirely. The back arrows don’t work very well- once in a while they do. But usually not! It’s very frustrating!
When is this app going to be updated? It’s been 8 months. I have to close and open the app after reading a story. The back icon does not work most of the time. To remedy, I have deleted and reinstalled the app many times, to include multiple reboots. The app works a few times afterwards before it malfunctions as stated earlier. Now it’s been over 9 months since this app has been updated. It is time to dump this app.
Great app that send you important notifications and offers live news throughout the day. All big events are cast live and conveniently available right on my phone. Stay up to date with ABC15 app!
I like the way news is presented by ABC! It is truthful and to the point. Facts are told and not embellished. Thanks for being the number one place for news!
This app is great for radar and recent news, just there are a lot of ads. Anyways, when viewing the radar in the 6.15 update, you can not close the radar view, and need to completely restart the app to get out of radar view.
The news app itself is good, but I have an issue with notifications. In the app settings I do NOT care about anything sports related so I turn that off. Yet I constantly get notifications about sports.
I don’t have cable tv and I don’t get a newspaper so this is the only way I get the news along with another app. I don’t like the constant ads. They are irritating. And for some reason these news apps REFUSE to open on my iPad when it says it is for the iPad.
They put the most popular news stories at the top of their app- not the most current. It takes them awhile to get the latest news out. There are more informative apps for local news.
This was my favorite local news app for a long time but not now. Same annoying ad keeps popping up full screen with every swipe attempt. Can’t even begin to read a story when it pops up again and again. I understand ads pay the bills but when they drive readers away it doesn’t do any good.
I get all of my news 24/7 from this app. There are a lot of advertisements. I enjoy getting notifications on my phone the minute a story breaks! The reporters are thorough & complete. I will continue to use the ABC15 app. Jill Davis
ABC 15NEWS is the only news I go to. You’re thorough, knowledgeable, always keep me up to date, if possible and I love your weather report!!!! What can I say, you guys ROCK!!!!
I like the fact that they state the headline and get to the point quickly. Don’t have time to muddle through all the superfluous news. I see a headline and go right to it
I had notifications turned off for everything other than traffic updates, but I kept getting notifications about the Oscars. I never actually got any traffic notifications anyway. Bye-bye!
ABC app I’d trash compared to its competitors. They take forever to upload there stories and sometimes there stories are totally inaccurate. Please do more research before you post something. Also I had my notifications turned on and it never sends me the latest stories. It’s the complete opposite with the Fox 10 app.
Your 4/9/21 article on Ducey removing local mask mandates neglected to mention it won't take effect until the summer or fall, leading many to infer it took place immediately. That's plain irresponsible journalism. 12News reported the entire story. Makes sense their app is rated higher than yours. I'll be switching to theirs.
The app copies the information on your clipboard every time you open the app. This is a practice used to create stalking ads or steal personal information. ABC15 and it’s reporters already have a reputation of biased, unethical reporting. I’d caution against downloading their app and allowing them access to your personal information.
I used to get my news from this app. They were probably the best Phx news app. Not after the last update. It is slow to update and load and now it just plain stays blank. I wonder if the paid version actually works...
Using the app on my iPad, the app will suddenly close for no apparent reason. This has occurred on numerous occasions About a month after uninstalling and reinstalling the same thing is happening again! I may have to forget about this terrible ap.
Love the app but this version is broken on iPhone Max (stories don’t load) and on iOS 12 the stories don’t load natively in the app like they should but in a webpage instead. Needs some optimizations.
Is it me? When I want info on a story it takes a divinities rap to activate but all I have to do is lightly touch an add as I’m scrolling and SHAZAM I get a commercial?!
The last update got stuck so I can't update it or open it or delete it. Such a pain I wish I could get it updated because I used it everyday now I have an app that is stuck in limbo.
