ABC13 Houston News & Weather App Comments & Reviews

ABC13 Houston News & Weather Positive Reviews

Constantly freezing up and then just disappears!I’ve been reading the news on this app for a few years now, actually look forward to it every day but the past several months the app just freezes, can’t scroll, can’t do anything and then all of a sudden it just shuts down. I swipe everything away and reopen the app, scroll back to the article I was reading to continue on. A couple articles later, it happens again and this continues on and on. I’m frustrated as hell and I’ve uninstalled the app, reinstalled but it hasn’t made any difference at all. Someone needs to get this figured out, I’m getting closer every day to uninstalling the app for good! I use this app on my iPad and my cell and have this problem on both of my devices. Please fix this!.Version: 7.11

Format is not user friendlyWe only have a TV in our living room, however, I like to watch the news while I get ready in the morning, so I use the ABC13 app on my phone or on my tablet. There are several format issues, but the main one is that the “watch live” banner is so small that even with my petite fingers I often hit the story below instead. Also, there isn’t enough space between the watch live feature and the story below when you want to make it full screen. The little full screen box is in the lower right corner and when I click it, it’s the same issue. Very frustrating. In general though, the over all “look” of the app is a little “low end” and “jumbled”. It’s not very sleek or easy on the eyes. It’s not easy to find the story you just got an alert for, which is very frustrating. I also wish they would switch up their story queue when you watch a story and then it goes into another one. They use the same story queue, so it’s the same ones over and over again when there is an entire feed of fresh stories to watch. Much to improve upon in this app..Version: 7.19

Good app that can be betterThis app provides me all the news I need for the Houston area. One of the main problems I have is that I get an alert that there is going to be a news conference. So then I click on the alert and it takes me to the article. I press play to see the LIVE event.. BUT they play an ad FIRST before they allow viewing the live event. There have been several times that by the time the ad finishes, I have missed the live event. They should REALLY consider disabling ads for the live events. Play them all you want on the replay of these events. Play them all you want on stories. But by putting the ad in front of the live event you are causing people to potentially miss out on important information which they may be seeking. In fact after removing such ads they should verify against their competitors and could “guarantee no ads for live events”.. could be a very big selling point vs your competitors..Version: 7.15

ABCWhy is it that ABC makes such a BIG deal over the immigrants trying to get to our borders ? Making it so sad . No one made them bring their families through such horrible conditions. Why don’t you care about our American citizens that live in poverty . Even our veterans that went to war for you . There are children that don’t have enough food to eat . You need to clean up your news. I can’t even watch it anymore and it was once my favorite . You need to show some respect for our President . We the people voted him into office . You won’t let me post . Are you afraid ?why hasn’t this been posted ???? What are you afraid of ? I can’t stand your Fake News. I want to see you post this.... your news is all a bunch of nonsense .........Version: 7.18

ABC13KTRKI have been in the Houston area for near 50 years. I have just now moved to the Spring-Woodlands area, and I have watched ABC13KTRK since the first time I moved to Texas. I think that ABC13KTRK covers the news better than any other stations. I am an ABC13KTRK fan and usually watch every episode so I can catch anything new, that only you all investigate. Thank you for all your hard work, I love ABC13KTRK, and I will always be grateful for to be able to watch you💝!!!!.Version: 7.17.1

Used to be greatWell they have really done it. They took a five star app and turn it into a two star lousy one. All of the important features of the whole App are gone. The new app has little to no organization end it is very hard to find a live stream option. Ads are annoying and repetitive. The greatness of the original ABC 13 app is gone. This app has a really bad design, repetitive continuous advertisements and no lifestream option, all of which the old app offered. I would not waste my time with the new version. I wants five star app is now a two star app and is now being removed from my phone. I am moving to KHOU's app. Not only does their app have a better design it is also more easily navigable than this one. Don't waste your time on this app. It is not worth it. There are better apps out there for getting news..Version: 6.0.1

Often wrong videoOften times I’ll click on a story and a wrong video news segment will play. It happens a lot! Also, it struggles to go into landscape mode. If you try to put it in landscape mode it will repeat the 3 minute commercial, even on live feeds which is a pain because it means you are missing live tv minutes. Abc often times for the live feed you have to sit through a long commercial that isn’t even from a sponsor, it’s a commercial about KHRT13.... which is making you miss portions of the live KHRT13 news feed of an important breaking news event. Pretty redundant when you are already trying to tune into the advertised station..Version: 7.17.1

Please remove or change the marketing within the app.I enjoy reading the news, weather and sports in your app, but the Apple Music ad needs to go or change the setting on it. When you are scrolling your app and if you accidentally hit the Apple ad ( which seems to be every time) it immediately opens your safari tab and the your Apple Music tab. Frustrating and put simply it’s just easier to get the news from another app. I understand the necessity for ads, but not ads that open other functions on my phone..Version: 7.22.0

Losing a viewerThe negativity that is broadcasted daily on this station about the President and the whole Republican Party is dumbfounding. When a nation is in such turmoil you keep trashing everything except Sheila Jackson Lee who is nothing but a media w***e that wants to make everything racial. Try bringing this community together instead of creating and broadcasting bs. I have been a loyal viewer for over 30 years but now turning your station off!!!.Version: 7.12

Got bugs - Closes App for no reasonABC13 is my favorite news station. However this App needs some bugs fixed. It shuts down right in the middle of reading or watching. Not only my phone but also my husband’s phone. Then you have to open the App again and search for the article you were reading. Not liking it. Used to be 5 stars but not any more. If there’s a fix let me know..Version: 6.4.1

Great way to keep updatedI just recently added the app to my phone and had the notifications turned on. I really like seeing the news that is happening right now and not having to wait for the news on TV or keep watching online. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because I can’t seem to search for older news stories. If there is a search function, maybe make it more clear in the future updates. Waller Resident.Version: 7.10

App crashesI hate to give up this app because when it works it’s great, but I’ve opened it too many times to check the news only to find it crashed again. I’ve done the delete/reinstall several times and restarted my iPad even more times but these are only temporary fixes as results are the same in the end. Since this is the only app on my iPad that does this I have to conclude it’s not the iPad..Version: 7.18

KTRK is a channel you can count onEver since I moved to Houston in 2007 I became a believer in the mission of KTRK. They are dependable and consistent. Weather is handled in a professional and competent way with 5 certified meteorologists on rotation and commitment to giving you the best information so you can stay informed. Friendly anchors serve the news in a good way. However, KTRK's true strength is in its reporting staff. These guys in the trenches get the story and they attempt to get it right! God bless them!.Version: 5.3.3

Perfect if videos will stop playingI loved the app until a change that had videos start to play when I’m trying to READ the news. I don’t want to see the videos or have them randomly start playing out loud, so I just have to forego reading the news in public settings or when I need “quiet”. I’ve become accustomed to repeatedly clicking the X to close the video before it starts playing (can’t always catch it in time). It’s a real pain for those of us who are just trying to read the news..Version: 6.4.1

It DisappearsWhile reading the app closes for no apparent reason. It may happen several times in a row then you finally give up and look at a different news app. I reported this problem several months ago. The problem got slightly better for a while but is worse than ever now 6/25 Now it will not open.Version: 7.17.1

Try sticking to the news without a left leaning slant.For instance. There are many irregularities in maricopa county that the audit is revealing. Why isn’t that covered? Instead you have a nobody giving a statement about how trump is insane. This is not reporting. And makes many Trump supporters realize how biased you are. Always go for true reporting. I see you have your left leaning weekend staff writing you’re articles. It would be wonderful if you could just present the news without filtering it through cnn..Version: 7.17

Jerky changesWhoever changes your scene’s & abd cameras has got to be the most unattentive person there. So, a news piece is on & JERK nothing onscreen, right in the middle of a sentence or introduction JERK GONE! If you thought you had a good manager or programmer or whatever, NOPE…Not at all, or whoever’s hand is on the switch just JERKS it from one video or piece or scene to another or to nothing at sll. So, yeah, jerky is what I call it. Extremely bad at PLANNING or CARRYING OUT A SMOOTH transition. Yes, SMOOTH TRANSMISSION from one news item to another is what it is called. So, three stars is GENEROUS….Version: 7.23.0

5 StarsI am such a big fan of ABC13! Everyone from the news anchors to weather and traffic reporters to the reporters and camera people at the scene of whatever is happening are professional and always make me feel safe and aware of what's going on around me. The Accu Weather APP has been amazing during this huge storm, Harvey, too. I always tune in and I am grateful for all that each person does at ABC13KTRK!! ☺️💕.Version: 5.3.3

NotificationsLet me start this out by saying that I love abc 13. They are my go to news station, but can y’all do something about all of the news alerts that are phased out to the phones? I’ve noticed recently that y’all are sending out items that aren’t really breaking news worthy. I know y’all have to compete with other local news stations, and y’all want to be the first to tell the news, but there has to be something y’all can do. Maybe a filter for push notifications?.Version: 6.2.0

Abc 🤩I always get updates as they happen this can be good and bad but I rather know what’s going on than know what’s going on it is very helpful to know things as they happen and not have to wait to get home to watch the news.. so glad I have this app it’s very useful and beneficial in many ways so thank you for that I give 10 stars I’m so pleased by this app keep up the good work!.Version: 6.2.1

Funerals for people needing fundsI am unsure y’all know this...however; to save $$$ for funerals: You can buy caskets, urns, vaults “on line” TOTALLY legal, & ALL funeral homes by law have to accept them. They get shipped within 24 hrs. Of ordering. Look them up, just type in caskets on line. I truly hope this helps ANY family who needs assistance! God bless ALL of you at ABC News! We have been watching for 40 years! Mrs. Rosemary Wells.Version: 7.12

Very glitchy appThis app offers current up-to-date news articles and weather information. However, the app is very glitchy and often crashes. Many of the news videos will show you an advertisement before the video plays with the app becoming stuck or crashing completely before you are even able to view the news video..Version: 7.19

Terrible AppThis is a media company’s app. It should be the height of technology, and it is so far from that. There should be breaking news, updated stories and all sorts of stuff on here. I sign in every day and see the same stories. I’m looking for up to the minute news. I’m going with a different channel..Version: 7.18

Not lovin’ the new news appI especially hate the new weather part of the new news app. Too many changes. It already never matches up with the accu weather app in partnership with abc13 that they say to use. And now I can’t find things I previously could. Not happy with it and also too many ads, more than before it seems..Version: 6.0.1

AppThe new app is awful. Impossible to find traffic and weather and when you do finally find it the traffic has changed because it took 10 min. This is the worst app ever and my husband and I will be going to another station that has things in clear and concise order. Awful just awful... why?.Version: 6.0.1

No on mom a good appUsed to be a good app. Now mute won’t stay on when you want to read the story. And when you do try to watch the videos it constantly shuts the whole app down and then you have to restart the app from the beginning. I used to use this app frequently, I’m now to the point of deleting it from my phone..Version: 7.12

CrashesThis app constantly crashes on me. I will click on it and it opens and then while viewing or scrolling through a story it just stops. It will totally shut down and then I have to reload to view it again. This is very annoying just to try and view the news..Version: 7.5

Great news stationChannel 13 eyewittnes news has always been very informative and acurate in their news information. 40 years of living in Houston that is where I got my news. Besides being very professional the anchores and the crew in the field are very compassionate and caring..Version: 7.18

Needs to have a Picture in Picture featureThis app need to add a Picture in Picture feature when it is enlarge to larger screen so that we continually to work while watching the news. After enlarging the screen there no why to do other things on our iPad because it kicks you out of the app and to continue to watch the news you have stop what you are doing and just watch the news..Version: 7.14.1

TvThis seems like the only way to talk to y’all this past year starting in the fall I can’t watch channel 13 with a antenna I haven’t changed anything have a very good and strong antenna other channels come in fine it’s only 13. So I can only stream the news please help Thank you I love my 13.Version: 7.25

Review of new formatI don't like that I have to scroll through all of your stories to see what's going on in the world, I like the old version where I could pick out just what I wanted to see , this version makes you look at everything and in the morning before work my time is short ..Version: 6.0.1

Abc 13I love the new abc 13 app it gives u updates and let's your u know when breaking news occurs immediately and also on the go to and even on my mobile device continue the improvement of the new abc 13 app and keep us informed love u abc 13 news team and keep up the good work!!!.Version: 5.3.3

Ads, ads and more ads!!!I like the app well enough, but the ads have got to be reduced at the least! They’re entirely too excessive. When I want to watch a breaking news story, I have to endure a (usually) 30 second ad before I’m able to watch the breaking news video. This is aggravating beyond belief! The layout is okay, but improvements could certainly be made for better accessibility and ease of use..Version: 6.1.1

DisappointingToo many links to side stories within a article that can be hit while scrolling. Frustrating to have to keep going back. Also, app keeps locking up and crashing, maybe too many things/ads working in the background..Version: 6.4.1

Notifications lead to a loading screenEverytime I try to access a story through a notification, it leads to a blank loading screen and never loads. Sometimes I can’t find the article the notification advertised after the fact which is quite annoying. Other than that the app works fine..Version: 7.17.1
