Description
Been using the ABC13 Houston app for a couple months now. It’s basically a news app that lets you stay up-to-date on everything happening in the Houston area. Pretty solid if you’re into local news and weather.
The app’s got a 24/7 live stream, so you can watch ABC13’s newscasts anytime. There’s also a ton of on-demand videos – you can catch up on stories you might have missed. And the alerts for breaking news and weather are really useful, they usually pop up at the top of the screen.
Look, if you live in Houston or the surrounding area, you’ll probably find this app helpful. It’s not perfect – the ads can get a bit annoying if you don’t pay – but overall it does a good job of keeping you informed. Worth checking out if you want a convenient way to follow the news.
Editor Opinion
So here's my take on the ABC13 Houston app. I've tested a bunch of local news apps and this one's pretty solid. The live stream and on-demand videos are the best features - you get more live coverage than a lot of other apps. And the alerts for breaking news and weather are also super handy. Only real downside is the ads, but you can pay to remove them. Overall, it's a reliable way to stay up-to-date on what's going on in the Houston area.
