User reviews

Love the news reporting if you can get to it. The app is very buggy and usually can't get past the first ad that you swipe up as the app will lock up. Come on fox59, you can do better than that.

There's a terrible lot of bias from these people and I only look to see how many out of state welfare recipients have moved to Indiana JUST TO shoot the place up. It has ramped up in recent years, I used to never lock doors, I've put bars on my windows now.

This is one of the worst apps on my phone. It freezes about every other time I use it, forcing me to "Force Stop" it. I've re-downloaded it more than once, but the glitch remains. I would think that an app from a news source would work better.
