I have been using podcast for 3 days.I got an issue about it doesn't stay in the screen when I turn off the screen. I mean podcast doesn't support background play.

The video at the top of an article is not related to the article. Very annoying.
★★★★★Eleanor Gaffney· Dec 4, 2025
ABC News gives more details their news reports. I also find their weather reports most accurate.
★★★★★B L DUNCAN· Dec 5, 2025
ABC News is one of the best news sources out there. Needs a video clips or shorts feature, similar to what NBC news has. It would a great feature n addition to the app that I would love to have if Disney decides to bring this feature on. Continue to update & improve for better design improvements...
★☆☆☆☆Jo Roo· Sep 20, 2025
I Can NO LONGER TRUST ABC NEWS for unbiased coverage! Not Happy at all with ABC/Disney 1st Amendment CENSORSHIP of Jimmy Kimmel. Got an Email, and was advised I should now only be watching The NBC Nightly News, or CBS Evening News, going forward. Good Idea! Just Pulled the ABC News APP from my Roku TV. Will need to Cancel HULU/Disney+.
★☆☆☆☆ppoo oopp· Sep 22, 2025
I'm only giving the app one star. It's been far too weak in the face of fascism and just let Jimmy Kimmel get fired.
★★☆☆☆Incognito SurfaceWarfareLt.· May 17, 2026
Glitchy, clunky app. If ABC, operating under Disney's Disney Entertainment division, put some serious efforts into a decent news app as much as all the other abundant garbage they focus on, surely it would be a decent app. But hey, they are one of very few media companies taking a stand on orange sock puppets!
★☆☆☆☆Andy H· Sep 20, 2025
I can't support a company that stomps on the constitution. We have free speech in this country!
