ABC13 Houston Customer Insights

1. I sure hope someone is taking note of the amount of negative reviews since the last major update.I do like the push headlines for important news stories, and updated info as they come out, I would like to get pertinent information as it becomes available, but more often than not, the "live broadcast updates " from Turner or Abbot, etc, just shows the thumbnail with the play icon, when pressed, all I get is the continuous spinning line of 'loading..trying..looking..' but not being able to play the video/news clip.

2. If I close the video keep the video closed, at least it gives the option to turn off video auto-play.Lots of improvements so thanks for that! Still have issues when selecting a notification about an article and not being able to find it on the app.

3. Bits & pieces of news, in & out of each piece, instead of continuous information.Chrome cast app- I use daily on Chromecast ; you can play the daily content - - - however when you exit the app continues to play in the background.

4. The 1 min weather is usefulThe new update is absolutely atrocious! Switch it back.I have been watching 13 News and trust it more than any other channel since I was very young, like 14-15 yrs old.

5. There is no full screen option when viewing videos, and the video stops, and must be restarted, when switching from portrait to landscape viewing or vice versa.

6. There appears to be a general lack of quality and updates for this app.Everything wants to play a video.

7. But what is infuriating is when you close a video in a news story and it pops back up as soon as you start scrolling.

8. Sometimes an earlier clip on the same page will play well, but not the 1st 1Not a good improvement.

9. This used to be my goto app for Houston news, not anymore thanks to the update.

10. If you switch to another app such as YT, the ABC13 app will play audio over the other app.

11. Also , the push notifications are being cut off so where I could normally see a preview for what the article is about I can now only see half of the first line.
