• iOS update broke the app

  by judyseagram

  I liked this app a lot and have been using it as my primary alarm clock for about two months, but the new iOS update had broken it. When the alarm goes off, and you slide the slider to unlock your ipad, the snooze alarm appears for a split second, then the ipad closes the app and snaps to the home screen. In order to snooze you have to re-open the app, open the alarm, and manually re-set it. I hope someone will fix this so the app is useable again!

• Great App

• Awesome app!

  by Houston News Junkie

  This app is fantastic! The alarm wakes me up and I LOVE how the traffic, top headlines, and forecast is all right there! I feel bad using this app since I don't have to actually watch the abc13 morning news anymore since everything I need and expect when I wake up is in the palm of my hand.

• Awesome

• Read the privacy policy!!!

  They take a lot of information about you! Read it carefully!!!

• ABC13 alarm click app

  by Larrytoots

  Very nice but it won't rotate, so it's unusable for me because I can't stand it up if plugged in and won't go into landscape to stand it on it's side. Don't have a dock, I use a stand to hold it at night. Also, the time should be bigger than the temp.

• Houston news app
