The Home screen will give you all the stories that are happening right now. Through the menu you can view every news topic, with it's own specified subsection, to get the news stories you want, when you want it.

Each and every story is provided in stunningly high quality video. With hardly any buffering issues, this is one of the best ways to get all the stories from the Windy City you care about. There were one or two instances of audio drift during video playback; however, these were so few and far between it was hardly a drawback.

Just scroll down the menu and underneath the list of Sections you will find a Shows category. From here you can enjoy any of the associated national ABC broadcasts and networks you want, including ESPN.

A really great addition to the ABC7Chicago app is the Chicago Area Radar feature in the Weather section. It provides you with a real-time slide show of weather systems and temperatures for both the tri-state area, and across the nation.

So whether you want to see conditions for today, tomorrow, or the rest of the week, ABC7 has all the information you need in an easy-to-understand live action Doppler radar.

If you’re looking simply for the overview of temperatures, just tap the tab at the top to be treated to a weather graphic; this provides you all the information you need for today, tomorrow, and the entire week.
