So here's my honest take on the ABC 7 New York app. I've tested a bunch of news apps and this one's pretty solid. The live video stream is the standout feature - it's great being able to watch the news anytime, not just when it's on TV. And the weather integration is also super useful, with detailed forecasts and radar maps. But I will say the app can feel a bit cluttered at times, and the frequent ads do get old. Overall though, it's a reliable way to stay up-to-date on local and national news if you're in the NYC area.

Description

Been using the ABC 7 New York app for a couple months now. It’s basically a news app that lets you watch live video from their Eyewitness News channel, plus get breaking alerts and the latest local stories. Pretty solid if you’re into staying up-to-date on what’s happening in the New York area.

Here’s what you can do – there’s a 24/7 live stream so you can watch Eyewitness News anytime. You can also search for news topics and browse exclusive video clips. And plus, the weather section is really handy, with hourly forecasts, radar maps, and alerts for severe conditions. Took me a while to figure out some of the features, but it’s pretty user-friendly overall.

Look, if you’re looking for a reliable news app with video, alerts, and weather all in one place, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the ads can get a bit annoying at times – but it does the job well. Worth checking out if you want to stay in the loop on what’s going on in NYC.
