6abc Philadelphia App Reviews

84 add

Commercials:(

Every video clip you have to endure a 30sec commercial. Otherwise app is ok

Commercials

I hate the fact you cant view a news video without a lengthy commercial. Its not worth the news access. Im done with this app How do you rate 0 stars?

Terrible app!

This needs to be fixed: if you accidentally tap on an ad, you cannot get out of it! You must shut your phone off, then turn it on again. Nothing else works! Other news apps have 15 second ads and then the story. 6ABC simply keeps the ad up for all time! Sooo frustrating!

Liberal media

More liberal media bias here. Used to be my go to app for news in philadelphia, but will be deleting now.

Crashes every time!

The app crashes every time I try to look at the weather forecast.

No more

I dont know what that commercial was advertising but I dont wanna see 2 men cuddling!!! This app and any other app that shows BS will be deleted!!!

Works but.......

The app works fine, however a 30 second long video add? Burning up your bandwidth like someone else is paying for it..... oh wait....

Ads are too long

I used to use this app all the time but at some point they added 30 second ads before letting me watch a video. This is ridiculous. I will be deleting this app as soon as I find a better one.

Slow loading

The photos and videos take forever to load - much slower than other news apps. Displaced Pennsylvanian like this app to keep in touch.

No stars

No stars because you are forced to watch the same ad every time you view a video. The commercials are a full 30 seconds and it the same f-ing commercials every time! Very annoying. I for one will not be using or buying any services or goods that advertise on the 6ABC app!!!

Worked well in the past!

No longer functions correctly, locks up every time after viewing a video. Please fix!

Good app except....

I use this app daily, multiple times a day! The problem is the ads before the news video clips. I have a data cap and am usually in a rush so to put a 30 second ad in front of every news video is a bit excessive. I would watch more news clips, but honestly just dont have the time, patience or data allowance to want to sit through them. Ill keep this app as a read only installation..

The ads are way to long....

You try to watch a 15 sec video and you have to watch a 30 sec ad....its ridiculous. I can understand if you could skip it after a few seconds but you cant. Annoying

Too many advertisements!

Thanks for destroying your app with too many advertisements ...time to delete! Way to be like the rest of the crap apps.

No "Philadelphia"

Im Unable to click on the "Philadelphia" news link on the left hand side since the update

Cant go to Philadelphia news page

I tap Philadelphia news but it goes to top news only. I cannot reach the local news section at all. I want to send interesting article links by texting. I dont use Facebook or Twitter so it disappoints me I gotta click email, copy a link, delate a draft, and text my friends. In addition it mostly shows a picture from a different article when I slide and see another news.

Error code

I have not been able to get this to work, I keep getting error code 8

Ads

I keep getting stuck in an advertisement and I am unable to get back to the news. VERY frustrating!!

Videos stoppage

All videos stopped working after your last update. I wonder if your staff test their updates before releasing them to the public.

Works well ... Too many bs alerts

The app works pretty well. Streaming news feed etc. My chief complaint though is there are too many unimportant "breaking news" alerts, that are more about "we need to drive more people to our shiny thing" rather than "this really important historic moment is happening in our area" or "this terrible disaster is going on be careful or you will die a horrible death". The latter is what I expect from a breaking news alert, not "we have a digital update about some cute puppies!!! Please please consume this unwanted content!"
