1. [R1] 7 News HD 1/5 · US Update: New update doesn’t work
2. [R4] 7 News HD 1/5 · US Almost no videos load: Tried to watch the beach closing videos and only a static view is shown. No videos will load so unusable. I can't do alerts for a special upcoming program such as America 250, and if all I'll get is static view then you've got a useless app there. Deleted.
3. [R9] 7 News HD 3/5 · US Would be better if compatible with Roku, Firestick: This app would be perfect if it could be installed on Roku or Firestick, it cuts out constantly when streaming from my iPhone.
4. [R18] 7 News HD 3/5 · US App stop working all the time: I only like the 7 news to watch the news. But recently aí gave up, either in my computer or my cellphone soon after the comercial, the news works for 3 seconds then stop, I tried so many times with Windows, IOS, Android. Isn’t an internet problem it’s the site problem, the app or the website is the same annoying problem. Would be great if this bugs gets fixed
5. [R3] 7 News HD 3/5 · US Just downloaded the App and…: So I just downloaded the App and, looking for a particular story I saw last night. Thought I’d be able to Search for it, only to find.,.NO Search option? I’m hoping I’m just having a senior moment and totally overlooked it: hence the 3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ and not 4. Also noted the Most Recent review was Nov 2024? I love Channel 7 News and I’d love to be able to give the App a 5-⭐
6. [R13] 7 News HD 1/5 · US Local news stories are badly out of date: National news apps are way more up to date even on local news.
7. [R15] 7 News HD 3/5 · US What happened with your lottery info it was the best now hasn’t been updated for a week: You were #1 let’s go get back up there
8. [R26] 7 News HD 5/5 · US Old news: I expect online newspapers to be static. Don’t understand why I’m not seeing more real time news on this site. For example, we were scoping out what to do on first night and the newsfeed was at least 45 minutes behind actual events. Otherwise, good reporting, particularly local. Thank you.
9. [R10] 7 News HD 2/5 · US Not everything is a video!: Hey 7 developers…stop forcing videos down my throat. All I want to do is click on the stupid alert and read the stupid article. Stop bringing me to breaking videos that don’t play. Not everything is a breaking video.
10. [R27] 7 News HD 1/5 · US Amazon fire TV: I love channel 7 Bostons news. I got rid of cable tv about two years ago. Now I just pay for internet and I use Amazon fire tv sticks. I love them and I love not paying a huge cable bill every month. The only problem is that the fire stick will not let me down load your free website! Maybe this is something you could look into with Amazon. I still watch your news but I have to watc
11. [R6] 7 News HD 3/5 · US Tired of Covid numbers: I had to turn off alerts because I’m burned out after 2 years of Covid daily numbers! Enough I’d enough.
12. [R7] 7 News HD 1/5 · US Annoying: I have had this app for years and years, but lately the notifications about the Patriots are becoming too much. I get it, they’re headed to the Super Bowl and it’s exciting, but I have this app for breaking news. Not to follow a sports team. Maybe the developers should consider adding preferences to the settings so we can decide what we want notifications for.
13. [R12] 7 News HD 3/5 · US Overuse of urgency: I’m glad to follow you but it is sometime repetitive or not as dramatic as you pretend.
14. [R25] 7 News HD 1/5 · US Don’t announce game results: Millions of people have the DVR at home. They may not be caught up LIVE with games. STOP sending smart phone notifications of the game results immediately after the game. You can wait a few hours. You are spoiling it for so many people. If it does not end, I’m gonna delete your app.
15. [R19] 7 News HD 1/5 · US Quoting CNN “Fake News”: Lost me when you reported fake news right before the election from CNN. I always thought you were pretty neutral. How naive was I!? The propaganda that you are now a part of saddens me. I am deleting this app.
16. [R22] 7 News HD 2/5 · US No coverage about local town halls & forced radiating 5G antenna placements: I appreciate most coverage here, but a huge health disaster in the making is being ignored: The untested for long-term health impacts of the 5G and 4G cell antenna going up everywhere without proper notification or disclosure. Same for (not) “Smart” Broadcasting ) Meters that also pulsate high amounts of radio frequency r
17. [R31] 7 News HD 1/5 · US All Adds: Are used to use this app every day but now, every time I open the story, I have to watch 15 seconds of that before you even get to the news have deleted it since
18. [R47] 7 News HD 1/5 · US Decent news, CONSTANT extreme right wing ads: The number of extreme right wing ads, formatted exactly like real articles, is disgusting. Had to delete
19. [R52] WSB-TV News 5/5 · US Excellent Updates: Excellent News Coverage
20. [R55] WSB-TV News 5/5 · US I appreciate what’s making news, as a former TV anchor in San Francisco, now retired in Marietta, GA: The constant updates and factual information provided by WSB-TV News is a CONSTANT in my life. I thoroughly appreciate how WSB-TV STAYS ON THE JOB…Delivering news we can all TRUST AND BELIEVE . THANKS TO ALL WHO MAKE THAT POSSIBLE.
21. [R64] WSB-TV News 5/5 · US #1 News Station: I am a native Atlantan, grew up watching WSB TV. Excellent coverage of the news,sports and weather. I moved to Port Richey, Fl five years ago. Daily I read Channel 2 news. Here in Florida I watch Channel eight news. It’s a Tampa station.
22. [R51] WSB-TV News 1/5 · US Not user friendly: This app a waste of my time. It cuts the story off while the interview is going and just moves to the next story only to do the same thing. Also, most of the videos don’t show when you click on them; you can only hear people talking.
23. [R65] MS NOW 1/5 · US Useless: Downloaded and installed several times. Never works. Won’t open. Waste of time.
24. [R67] MS NOW 3/5 · US MS NOW LIVE ON THERE APP ONLY: Why can’t MS NOW show there live broadcasts on there app like NBC news does instead of going thru a subscription TV NBC News have a live take every time you watch NBC News
25. [R69] MS NOW 3/5 · US App volume is too low!: I love the content but the volume on live streaming of the tv channel is set way too low. I have to put my Ipad volume all the way to maximum in order to hear the app at a reasonable volume. They need to fix this. It’s a problem.
26. [R70] MS NOW 2/5 · US No live shows!: I recently dropped my streaming service, so msnbc went away. I thought that would be ok, because I new this app existed. So, I downloaded it and all I can find is snippets of shows! I can’t watch a full show the day after it was live, I can watch a half hour of an hour long show the next day, but then it switches to a different show! Not even close to what I thought it would be!
27. [R79] CBS News 2/5 · US No dark mode is an example of how behind it is. STILL!: Needs to catch up on a lot of basic missing features in 2021.
28. [R80] CBS News 5/5 · US Cbs news live breaking news: Top stories and local news
29. [R81] CBS News 3/5 · US No dark mode: Create a dark mode option
30. [R82] CBS News 1/5 · US App breaks daily: Constant buffering and crashes. Even after upgrading my internet, this app is practically unusable. It constantly loses connection and dies, especially on my Apple TV. Highly disappointed
31. [R93] NEWS CENTER Maine 1/5 · US New update is horrible: I use the weather radar on this app all the time and it was great. Well they decided to update and now it is a joke! The new radar is horrible! Why oh why would you change it. Guess I need to find a new app.
32. [R94] NEWS CENTER Maine 5/5 · US John: So nice to have an app with local news.
33. [R95] NEWS CENTER Maine 3/5 · US Where are the articles?: Loaded the new version last night. First of all, why is the new logo red? This is an angry/non-calming color. Besides that, I was excited to try out the new app. However, it seems that there are mostly videos now. I liked being able to read pieces before or watch a video. 95% of the time I read the article. This is frustrating that I no longer have this option. ☹️
34. [R96] NEWS CENTER Maine 1/5 · US Designer may need to be examined…: They should bring back the OLD version of the app. Whoever put the new one together should reconsider. I hate the new version and actually deleted it because it’s TERRIBLE! I did reinstall because the website can’t give me LOCAL weather, only Portland and Bangor. Previously, when I wanted any kind of news, News Center Maine was my immediate “go to”. However, wit
35. [R14] 7 News HD 4/5 · US Volume issues: I use this app on my Roku primarily for the Live news feature because I don’t have cable. I appreciate it’s availability, however, the app has some serious volume issues. Sports segment is VERY loud but then you can barely hear the weather. I have my finger on the volume button because I’m constantly having to increase and decrease the volume depending on what segment is on.
36. [R29] 7 News HD 1/5 · US Blocked: Why can’t I watch news live? Fox News I can. Cow 13 Tampa I can but not boston. Explain.
37. [R39] 7 News HD 1/5 · US Live stream: NEVER WORKS,,
38. [R46] 7 News HD 4/5 · US Fire stick: It would be great to watch 7News on an app for fire stick. You’re not on Youtubetv and with so much cable cutters, it would be great to be able to watch the most unbiased news in Boston
