Customer Reviews

• I love this app!

  by Nunezz6743

  I use this app to read some of the local news and the traffic report is great. The weather and alarm clock are great additions as well.

• Best app so far!

  by Jack_s900

  I have downloaded every weather app from weather channel to rain clock. This app not only gives you the weather but the top stories and traffic! Not to mention you get video clips of the very pretty weather lady giving the weather. You can't ask for anything more. Please keep up the good work!

• Almost there...

  by ChrisDoll

  Nice, very slick and clean. I'll even start using it......the very second you get Alicia Vitarelli's voice for the alarm clock! That will earn that 5th star!

• Love it

  by Itssharon

  Just downloaded it and I love it all ready;)

• Great traffic feature!

  by RLsmitty

  Traffic feature us accurate and easy to navigate during the morning commute.

• Good app, but stop focusing in the alarm!

  by PhillyPutty

  This is a good app for Philly-area news, traffic and weather. I especially like the traffic map that lets you select and view live traffic cameras. However, for some reason Action News seems to be only focusing on the alarm clock. There are a million alarm clocks out there - nobody cares that much about one more! Action News, you have a good app, but stop selling it as an alarm clock! Tell everybody it's just the new Action News app (that happens to have an alarm too). You don't see Apple selling the iPhone as "a great new calculator" do you?

• Great app

  by Brian235

  How can I NOT give an app five stars that Cecily Tynan wakes me up?? The sounds in the alarm are a bit low (soft?) for me unfortunately but it's a great news weather and traffic app

• Liking the new style!

  by Dave Best

  Worth the download.

• Very Cool

  by Curtis Garrett

  What a visually impressive app!

• Traffic Zoom

  by TSKiv4

  The traffic camera map is a great idea, however you can not zoom tight enough to select specific cameras.

• 6ABC Alarm Clock App.

• Awesome!

  by Tumbler911

  This isn't just a great alarm clock- its a great news app! Highly recommended!

• Channel 6 App

  by SBurnley3

  This is perfection! I love watching Channel 6 in the morning before school but I always leave before its over and now with this app I can check the news before classes even start! I love even waking up to the Channel 6 jiggle! Puts a smile on my face immediately! So efficient and effective!

• Love this app!!

  by CG0389

  An alarm, weather forecast, and traffic update all-in-one! It automatically customizes to your location and you can wake up to the Action News theme song!

• Disappointed

  by Patricia Morris

  I love the idea of this app but I cant get the alarm to work. All that happens at the time the alarm is set for is a popup that reads "alarm". Thats sure not going to wake me up!

• Great idea.

  by Mc shink

  It's like a morning newspaper on your phone

• Very nice, extremely clean

  by Raeszxtwo

  The traffic feature is just what I was looking for. 2 clicks and I can see how 76 is doing. And the interface is very clean and streamlined. The alarm cloxk feature is pretty cool too who doesn't want to wake up hearing Matt O'Donnell's voice?

• Love it!

  by Bobby2743

  Love waking up to the Action News song!

• Action News...do we need to say any more?

  by Deep Six

  Just download it. Your one-stop app for waking up in the morning. Trust me.
