ABC11 North Carolina Reviews

by Preciouslostthings

I’ve used ABC11NorthCarolina a long time but lately there are ads all over each page that make it so you have to be very careful scrolling because you’ll accidentally tap on them and it will take you directly to at App Store to try to make you download some game. This just happened to me twice while I was attempting to read one story. Guess I’ll have to find a different news app. I get that ads pay the bills but I don’t want to deal with aggressive ads that can’t be avoided and having to cancel downloading roblox or some other game that I don’t want constantly just to see what the weather is going to be like this week.

ABC11 is one of the few alternatives to the ...less than stellar... other major news outlet in the area.
The journalism is decent, the stories are interesting and timely. However ABC11NorthCarolina regularly crashes and appears to drain the battery very rapidly. To the tune of 20% in ten minutes it seems. There’s also a weird transposition of images between the headlines, and scrolling the main news feed is often (for lack of better words) jagged and shaky.
Hopefully, it’ll get worked out. I’ve always preferred WTVD to WRAL - even when I was watching them on television.

There appears to be no way for me to search for news that interests me. Why is there no search bar? Often I get a notification from your site, only to go try and find it later, it’s impossible. Strange website design...not user friendly. Also, the split screen format is not reader friendly, to compartmentalized. Where is the comment section for each article? How can I see how my other citizens are reacting to each article..You should look into completely redesigning your site.

I used ABC11NorthCarolina whenever the news was not on tv. Now with the new upgrade I'm hardly able to access anything but the weather and traffic. News in its many forms is important to everybody. When these upgrades are made you are shutting a lot of people out. Many people are getting frustrated because what was there and very reliable is no longer of use. I myself will find another app for my local news because it's no longer an update it's a restriction. Sorry if you think this is actually better.

Poor reporting, distinct lack of proper editing, spewing Democratic daily talking points without ANY attempt at balance or actual research (and this comes from a registered Dem), app plagued with tech issues. Just to list the worst problems.
Absolutely annoying when you receive a notification for a news story and 50%+ the time it is nowhere to be found in ABC11NorthCarolina when you click on the notification.
And stop asking me to review your app every time I am reading a story. Ugh!

I like ABC11NorthCarolina because the content is up to date. However the option to NOT auto play videos either doesn’t work it the fact than Disney owns ABC overrides this option and forces Lion King trailers to play randomly while reading articles. Even if there isn’t an ad for the movie within the article, it autoplays at random times and it’s annoying. While I’m excited to see the movie, I don’t need the trailer playing on its own every time I try to read a news story!

ABC11NorthCarolina is a great way for me to stay up to date on the local news, but it does have a way of freezing up and quitting on me in the middle of reading an article, which is annoying. Also, a bunch of the articles have typos, grammatical errors, and lack sufficient info. Where is the editor for these articles? I like getting the alerts when there is something new reported.

I like to read the article not have to fight to turn off videos before I can. After reading the article I might look at the video to see the pictures.
In fact the thought they last update to ABC11NorthCarolina was supposed to take care of this.

Site’s format is too busy. I’d like to be able to scroll and choose what I’d like to read first etc. but pics change into video which is very annoying to me . Maybe I’m just navigating the site incorrectly. Thanks for asking........ that being said, I absolutely watch you on tv as opposed to the other stations. I am usually pleased with the way you usually do not sensational events that warrant less attention as it may. Thank you.

WTVD 11 Eyewitness News has always kept me up to date on the latest, breaking news. Now with their newest news app, keeping connected is much easier!

by Vejacks

ABC11 keeps me in the know of what’s happening in my city and county. I really enjoy the breaking news and knowing what the weather is going to be during the day & next days... As with any news outlet I pray that ABC11 will only report the true news and not allow their or the reporters’ spin or prejudices to interfere with the true facts.

So when I open ABC11NorthCarolina and I see the news stories I’m not seeing the pictures of the story I have to physically click on the story and wait for a picture to load that’s crazy

by Rhino Liner

To whom it may concern, and to those who will probably never read this. Let it be know that it’s very annoying the way you have it set up to leave a blank spot in the middle of a story and then pops up a advertisement no where near where you were reading. Cmon ppl enough is enough

by StarNelson55

I have watch WTVD news for over 40 years and have never been disappointed at the great coverage on everything from local news to Big Weather’s accuracy on our weather forecast. Thank you for being the best!

When I pull up the Doppler or ask it to animate. The screen goes blank and I am not able to use it except for look at it in the original format, rather than bigger and easier to see. I like your Doppler the best and I’ve been having to use other Doppler’s. Fix this please. Thank you.

For no reason while reading an article and not touching the screen ABC11NorthCarolina goes either black or back to the iPhone home screen. Even trying to send feedback the waiting to load icon stays on.

ABC11NorthCarolina used to be a 5 rating now it is a zero for the frustrating operation

Took a little bit to get used to but once I really got into it it’s one of the best apps I think I’ve ever seen......Well what happened!!!!!...The WTVD app keeps dropping off, what has happened.... difficulty watching anything other than live feeds.....Yes I have reinstalled ABC11NorthCarolina but problem is still there, even changed from 2.4 to 5 gig and no help.....RSVP please !!!

I rated this version low because it's harder for me to see all of the news stories. I try to read an article and it seems to constantly move either direction to another article. ABC11NorthCarolina has started playing the news article video even though I did not push play for some reason and it did not do that before so hopefully they will fix that.

I love ABC11!!! However, it is annoying having the videos automatically when you click on an article. Although I like WTVD’s news, the automatic video commercials will cause me to check other news sites when I am in a quiet place or in a virtual meeting.

Please stop automatic play videos including commercials. Let us choose to click on it if we desire to watch the video.

I’ve tried several times to open stories on ABC11NorthCarolina with no luck . And there are several stories that have pictures that don’t match . I deleted it and try reloading it and nothing changed.

ABC11NorthCarolina help me and family during the hurricane Florence updates. Love how Big Weather updates is with cape fear information. Live video and local news. If you didn’t have electricity and only have your mobile devices then it was a great app to use to stay connected.

I love ABC11NorthCarolina. ABC keeps me in the know. Especially great at letting me keep up with the travel since I have to drive from Durham NC to Mebane NC so keeping up with the traffic is a must. Tracking Irma has also been very helpful for family members. Keep up the excellent work ABC team!!!!!
