So helpful

They have stuff up so quick like once I was watching the news on the tv when I decided to look on the website (the weather was taking forever) so then I got on the app and I saw the weather then Im like OK and turned my iPod off but then the news came on the TV and It said the ECXACT same thing that it said on the app! Woah they r like WOAH thanks seven action news app7⃣

Channel 7 app

I love it, I can pick what I want to see , new with any children getting hurt just destroys my day. I can avoid all news that will do that. Thank you for letting me choose my news. Brad Dupuis

Bring back the old version

MUCH preferred the previous version. This new app has far too many ads that are very distracting & annoying. Seems like this version is half ads & half news. Also less easy to navigate.

Traffic map

Where is the live traffic map? It was always my favorite for live traffic conditions

Worse than the other app.

Cannot even get the weather page to load without causing an error. Havent been able to do anything I used to. Want to be able to search and cannot. Please bring old app back then fix it in increments. Why launch an app that doesnt work when the other one does?

Not good

Too many problems with this app. I cant get it to open most of the time and videos are really slow. Needs improvement

Could be better

If you download this app, watch where you swipe with your finger because you WILL accidentally touch one of the countless, giant-sized ads, which begins a time-wasting process of launching Safari, you getting the ad page to stop loading, closing that tab in Safari so it doesnt keep loading every time, closing Safari, and switching back to read your news stories. Also, there are lots of spelling and grammatical errors in news reports, which makes me question credibility and competency to write and present news stories. Unprofessional, but thats the landscape of all news media web content these days. Update: I deleted this app after I could no longer control when the ads would launch in Safari. They would just... pop up... Randomly and frequently. Sorry Channel 7, I like Action News but this app is awful.

Yet another new low in crapware

First, they take a 5 star app to a 1 star for the iPhone. Now they have done the same thing to their iPad app This latest update is jumpy, twitchy and shudders while you scroll down on an iPad Air2. So bad that it reminds you of a bad computer monitor that you want to whack on the side to get it to work better. Sorry guys, its not the hardware, its the software.... Dont you test it before release? Previous updates went from consise information to a bunch of tiles that take much more time to read and review. Please bring back the old format

This app is....need insurance?...in need of...Pepsi 2 for 4 at Kroger.

Spam! Spam! SPAM!!! Could you pile more ads into this app? Seriously I know you gotta pay the bills but this is too far. And the one story per page is a bad set up. No one cares to see a thumbnail the size of the phone. The reason theyre called thumbnails is because theyre supposed to be smaller then the actual picture.

Still not there...

This is not the news app you are looking for, move along... Maybe next version will be a return to greatness. Dont hold your breath though. Solid 1 star app....

Not as good as it used to be

This app used to be a prime news source. I am a news junkie and I appreciated getting numerous quick news update notifications from this app about not only local issues, but also state, national, and international events. It was always so quick too. I found out about Sandy Hook from this app as it was happening. But now I receive significantly fewer notifications and I dont know why. It is basically pointless to have now.

Annoying ads!!

I just want news not ads for razors or whatever. Cant u find another way to pay your bills. Gotta delete it now!

The ads

Really!!! I have to watch an ad for a whole minute straight with out the skip option? You keep your app am good I got no time to waste

FIRE YOUR CONSULTANT

deleting this horrible updated app. shame on you for being sold a bill of goods. now its more about sneaky ads than the news. clunky info flow and reflects an architecture designed solely for short term revenue lift. Tabloid style news coverage topics catering to a 4th grader

Great app

Love the new updated app. Im a news junkie and the app gives me all the info I need. Well formatted. Thank you WXYZ. A lifetime viewer of 7 Action News.

App is good, but the news????

WXYZ needs to hire someone that can actually type correctly. The amount of typos and misspellings amazes me. Then again this is indicative of the type of people making up the workforce.

Best station in Detroit

WXYZ is my favorite, love all the anchors

Wxyz app

Great app,up to date ,concise stories

MJP

I give this app two thumbs up!

Easy to use, great presentation and features

Love the app for its features - radar, content (stories and videos) and the way everything is presented. It is very stable and updates flow, in a timely manner.
