Growing increasingly frustrated with this app! Not only do I have to search for an article I'd just received an notification for, but i have to constantly log in with my user name and password, wait for the app for load (5 - 10 seconds), then search for the article I just received a notification for! I can't do this anymore. I'm sure there are better apps to get news from concerning Chicago. DELETE!! 😠😡

Ever since the latest update, this app keeps putting my phone to sleep 😤 I listen to the news when I shower and get ready for work in the mornings. Also have it playing in the background in my office. It is NOT a timer issue with my phone. The abc7 app is the only one that puts both my phone and tablet to sleep while I am actively watching or listening to it. Netflix, Prime, etc. do not do that. I can watch/listen to entire movies on other apps just fine. But not this one.

I primarily use this app to stay updated on the weather. The daily forecasts are pretty accurate, and the videos of the weather broadcasts are definitely helpful. I have experienced a couple glitches with the app. The hour by hour temperature forecast is often incorrect, and it seems to be displaying the "real feel" temperature instead of the actual temperature. The other problem I frequently experience is the live Doppler radar images of precipitation not appearing on the maps at all.
