Video player does not work

Ever since the most recent update, local news videos will not play through the app. For some reason, only national news (ABC) videos play. Please fix this!

Kurioza

Very nice app

Needs work

This app is junk, I like getting local news easily from my phone, but it crashes CONSTANTLY. Needs work

Typo and Grammar Errors Galore

The articles in this app are laden with typographical and grammatical errors. It is quite distracting. I am also disappointed that such a great TV news outlet did not carry the excellence over to the online realm. Where are the proofreaders???

Im getting alert fatigue!

I originally downloaded this app to keep up on breaking news, but push notifications come through for every headline - with at least five this afternoon regarding the traffic plans for the Papal visit at the end of September. I could open the app and browse if I wanted to see all the stories. Not every story is "need to know right now" priority.

Back to Back "Repeated Messaging"

This news app from Philadelphia has lots of long ads and Repeated Messaging every minute. It will drive you crazy if you turn the banners and messaging on ! Especially if you have an iWatch ! Once you know about something it is NO LONGER NEWS. Why keep repeating the same subject matter ? Come on ABC News 6.... Certainly you can do better than this. This evening alone there were about 25 messages sent out about the pope. It is more than a month away and I am getting sick of hearing about it!

Blah

You have to view a 30 second commercial in order to view a 15 second news clip?? Blows.

Dropped the ball!

Poor format, too many repeat articles, too many outdated articles, links connect to ads when stories are expected, seems like some articles written by a fifth grader (too many mistakes). Do we really need to watch a commercial each time a video is clicked on? USED TO BE GOOD, NOW TOTALLY USELESS!!! (Would not give any stars if allowed). Bring back the original app, the app before this garbage came out.

Frustrating

Does not open on Apple Watch.

Simply The Best!

As a native Philadelphian, I grew up with all the Channel 6 personalities, so when I moved to Las Vegas and wanted to keep in touch, I downloaded this app and found it so inviting and easy to access with stories, pictures and videos at my fingertips. You wont be disappointed with this app!

Streaming is ABYSMAL!

I dont have one problem streaming anything but this. The streaming is unwatchable when it even decides to work at all. Internet connection is fine because this is the only thing I stream that doesnt want to work correctly. Funny how the commercials seem to work just fine though.

Crashing

App starts to open then crashes plz fix thanks

Still not fixed

I just updated and opened app and it rebooted my phone.

Crashes A LOT!!

Crashes consistently when I try to open it. Phone is updated with most current IOS. Whats going on??

I just wanna get the news and weather.

I like the news and weather from this app on the surface only. Every link has an ad or is an ad/bogus story. Often crashes. Turned off all notifications because of the seemingly constant bs that comes through. Stupid reminders of how I can watch the news at 6 and 11. Really!? Just the bare minimum usage for me. And I dont understand why it says good morning on the open screen regardless of the time of day.

Great app except...

I view and use this app many times a day. It has the stories I want and need to keep up with. However, I never watch the news videos because I dont have the time to waste on the advertising videos I must sit through first.

Ok

I cant down load pictures to 6abc Facebook Ive done everything even up to asking for help and no one answered my questions.

30 seconds commercials too long

The app works great but the commercials before the report are annoying. I understand you need to make $$ but a 10to 15 commercial should be the longest anything after that is stupid

KEEPS CRASHING

When I open the app it crashes. Also this morning it said Good Evening

Too many video ads

The app is good but having to watch an advertisement before each video news clip is very annoying. The whole point is to grab quick news bites. Id rather pay $.99 for the app just so I wont have to deal with the dumb commercials! We see them enough on TV!
