7 News HD - Boston News Source Reviews

by JANCITO1187

7NewsHD was good. Not great but it did its job a few years ago. I understand the need of ads and what not but now the same annoying ad that’s on the bottom of the screen (tolerable) now jumps up and covers the entire screen as you’re reading completely disrupting your imaginative state. 7NewsHD is the worst. Hasn’t improved one bit, misspells, isn’t always accurate as the same story changes 2-3 times...etc etc etc

Whdh reports information which supports liberals. I am tired of the trump bashing. I am tired of the news media incriminating our entertainers and congressmen of sexual harassment. What happened to “innocent until proven guilty “. You have convicted them in the public eye. That’s shameful!!! Furthermore, there are people in this country which believe that it’s not the responsibility of the government to support everyone. People have to take some responsibility for their own lives.

Update, Jan 2018:
Edit: DO NOT INSTALL 7NewsHD - it contains malware and a spam bot. The developers have been made aware and have chosen to do nothing.

7NewsHD (and 7NewsHD for the money-strapped herald) no longer honor industry standards for dismissing ads. Shame on these apps for blatantly putting money before ethical behavior.
Also, and more concerning... 7NewsHD also tracks a users location, regardless of the setting of location services. This is a huge privacy issue, and not cool.

Absolutely horrible.
Content is old, and lacking. And, BTW, the previous version no longer works, so users are FORCED to update.
Every single 'update' has degraded 7NewsHD.
However, do not expect the arrogant developers, or station management to care about user feedback.
Now, more annoying full-screen pop ups. Plus, just when you are about to click on a story, an ad comes from out of nowhere, and you cannot get to the desired story.

It compounds the poor app, when stories contain spelling and grammar mistakes.

Were that it were possible to rate an app zero stars, this is deserving.

This so called news station has become a platform for liberal rants. I miss the days when news was just that news. The weather was still wrong but at least there was no spin or coving up what is going on. This reminds me of pre World War II. The German people were not as excited to follow as the woke crowd is today. Less political spin and more reporting of facts.

If you’re looking for a News app that sends you a Notification that requires you to watch videos and live-streams with no text below describing said video, this is 7NewsHD for you.

As an example, notification read: Dozens if schools closing / delayed, click here for the Full List. I clicked. I get a video, no description, no timestamp, no link to resources.

Great station. Atrocious app.

The push notifications are great but I try to watch the live news portion of 7NewsHD every morning getting ready for work and it only works for about 7 minutes before it crashes, every single time. So annoying.

I like the variety of the stories but have no patience for having to stop the audio/newsreels. I’ve already deleted 7NewsHD twice because of this. The selection for the locations for local news is better than the other stations. I just can’t look at the stories in a waiting room.

by Mrs Heff

Every time you try to scroll through the stories, 7NewsHD pulls you back to the top of the screen and makes it nearly impossible to read through what’s on the page. Super annoying!

by MamadaPOP

This is a great app. But I don’t know about everyone but 7NewsHD keeps crashing on me so I can never get through a full paragraph. But other wise, when I need to know something and it’s not on TV yet, this is a great app to look for that information.

7 news keeps me well informed with the latest and important news.
In this unprecedented situation the country is in its vital to have a news station that is on top there game. I think we all need a place to turn to for information on where to seek help and how to get it. Keep up the good work!
With many thanks,
Maryanne Dimodica

Let’s face it, I often want to come here for the local weather, particularly on the weekend. But it’s so late being updated, especially on Sunday’s. Other than that 7NewsHD is great. Some navigational quirks for sure.

The media needs to support the American people more then the government . From the president to all mayors nationwide. The whole government needs to improve at 100% in many different ways with health, financially, and safety. It has been all negatively impacted . So the media needs to bring attention to all these issues because its terrible and it needs to be corrected.

Always on top of the news!

Great App but still wish you would settle your issue with Dish Network....you lost a lot of viewers

by Ginakenney

I really miss being home in Boston but WHDH makes it easier keeping up with home news while not there. Thank you.

Can’t get 7NewsHD to open to the news. I am getting a preference page that I can’t do anything with it.

by Railond

It’s great has options to watch or read the stories I want or to watch the news regularly as if on tv.

by Brrady'sBesttFan

Channel 7 News is Great. It’s a good source that I can rely on 7 Days A. Week. If I’m looking 4. Information on the C-19 Virus. And the level of The closings for my local cities and nearby towns I will have to turn to Channel 7. For the best And most reliable source for that information.

by LinCabSav

Always great news information and on point!

Half the article is literally covered in ads. You can’t scroll down without accidentally opening one, annoying and very obstructive. I understand you have to pay the bills, but to blatantly have a small window for the article itself? I can’t anymore

by Sheriff Justice

Breaking news alerts, important headlines and good weather info. They just need to include BOTH MID-DAY and NIGHT lottery daily number. For some reason the station only shows the night time lottery results.

News, traffic, and weather are great! The sports scores for the NFL are good! Continues to be a good.

by DC Bone

As good as watching the TV. Give me an update or breaking news any time.

by RickBrookline

Great app and a great station. I get live and prerecorded news stories on the road. Works great!
