4.5 out of 5
Weather Useless on iPad

The Weather page is a joke. Half the page is a map that I can't find a way to hide, so the details do not have enough space. The font is small and some of the text colors are not easy to read. I tried to expand the text to make it easier to read but it would not expand.
It does not seem possible to click on a future day to see more details.
Last, I can only get Tampa weather - useless for trip planning to other locations.
Please have a stand-alone full feature weather app.

Adds...really?

Downloaded this in case lost tv, so could get updates and alerts with Irma bearing down on us.

First, had to register, not that it's a huge deal, but why? So you can send adds to my inbox? Moving on...started up TampaBay28 and first thing I get...a lousy advertisement. Really?!?

I removed TampaBay28 immediately I can't stand people forcing advertising on me, especially with an app that's supposed to update you with emergency notifications.

Annoying ads

This is a good app and the live streaming is great for staying informed. I do however have a problem with the advertisements that run in the stream. I just saw the same ad 8 times back to back. I have no problem seeing ads to keep an app free but seeing the same one 8 times in a single break is annoying. Mix it up a bit folks. Use some of the ads that ran back to back yesterday.

ABC Action News

I love TampaBay28. It keeps me informed when I can't be home watching ABC Action News. ABC Action News is the only News program I watch. I watch it every morning and evening and night. Keep up the great work and all your great personalities that you have on the program. There isn't one that I don't like.

Unbiased

So refreshing to watch a channel that incorporates fun news, tech news, cheery atmosphere & most important... The daily news without bias opinion... Love Channel 9 action news

What I need in a news app

Easy to navigate. Never crashes.

ABC action news

Love TampaBay28 User friendly can keep up with breaking news and weather

Keeps me Updated

I spend part of my year in PA and part in Florida. Whether I am in either state, ABC keeps me informed and up to date with local and national news.

Review

I love TampaBay28. I can get right to the topics that interest me only versus listening to the whole newscast just to hear maybe 1 topic of interest as the subject usually isn’t top news

Works great!

I want local news that’s up front and easy to read. The articles are great and informative as expected.

Great for notifications

I love the notification feature. It keeps me current on everything of great importance. I found it extremely useful during hurricane season.

They Care!

I enjoy my ABC Action New! It keeps me updated on everything that is going on in our area and makes me feel like they care! Lavonne Norris

News at your convenience

TampaBay28 makes it easier to stay in touch with the world no matter where you are or what you are doing

Great local news app

TampaBay28 gives you a lot of news coverage and I've never had any technical issues with it. I always check it multiple times a day.

Always Providing The Best News

I've been tracking Hurricane Irma and this has been the best app for local news. I even told my out of town family to use TampaBay28 for updates and not the national news.

Awesome Action News

Great app that gives you relevant information when you need it most from latest news to by the minute weather updates

Love this news station

Denis Phillips Makes This 5 Stars!

Smart, experienced, humble, engaged, and part of our community - Denis goes on the hurricane roller coaster with us every single time!

So grateful for his patience and tolerance to the questions no one could possibly answer, while he helps us through anxiety and fear.

He makes that station standout! Thank you Denis!

Great for people in the go

I never get to sit and watch the news these days. So I love TampaBay28 because i can stay up to date in my busy life. I love to browse TampaBay28 right before I go to bed at night. And If you really want to stay in tune with local happening you can turn on notifications.

Great App

I use TampaBay28 all the time to keep up with local news and weather, and if I’m driving around the traffic feature is great. Couldn’t ask for a more convenient, easy to use tool to keep up to date.

My Lunchtime go to app

ABC Action News on my iPad while I am having lunch is the best. It catches me up on all the local news that has happened since this am. I watch ABC News in the AM as well.

It's great being informed

Excellent app! They notify me of the latest news before any other news app. Super easy to use and accesible. Definitely recommend, I absolutely love it.

Great App!

I love TampaBay28 use it all the time. The weather portion is great. I turned on the alert so I am up-to-date with any breaking news in my area.
I would love to see “a things to do” section I know there some here and there but I’d like to kind of like an event what’s going on in Pinellas and Hillsboro. Other than that it’s great I would download it as soon as possible.

The station is so focused on human interest stories and the same ones over and over they do not report the current news. Wendy Ryan is depressing and her love of mental issues is not news most people do not turn on the news for DR Phil. The only reason we watch is Dennis Phillips but if we want news we go to channel 8. The 4 o'clock news is horrible you have no need for either one of the human-interest anchors in fact that's when we switch to 8 on your side. You would be better served reporting news and if you replaced Wendy it would make it much better
