| 2024-11-23 |  | | Best News Station in Indianapolis Indiana. |
| 2024-07-20 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-06-19 |  | | As of June 18, 2024 I believe this app has been hacked. I got an alert at about 7:30 pm that states that I need to log into the app in exactly 1 hour if I want to keep it. Devs hope your reading this. I am not sure what to do. Am deleting it for the time being. |
| 2024-04-18 |  | | 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. |
| 2023-10-19 |  | | 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. |
| 2022-10-17 |  | | Many times, most times if I click on an alert it will not open the app. It freezes with just the fox 59 logo. App tends to work just fine when I click on it but it just won't open from the alerts. No other complaints. |
| 2022-09-05 |  | | App is buggy as hell. Video player still leaves the UI visible in full screen. Won't cast to Android TV/Chromecast or Roku. Not even compatible with Android TV. (Even sideloaded the APK and it crashes.) There's apps on this app store and F-Droid/Aptoide that would work better than this. Hire better programmers. And, iOS UI elements are UNWANTED in Android! Android isn't released by Apple, Nexstar! (Even though there's some FOSS code by Apple in Android but I digress.) |
| 2022-04-02 |  | | I thought that it wasy phone but after reading other reviews I realize that others have the same problem. An article just stops. Followed with white screen. I've tried waiting to see if something is loading but nothing ever happens. If I can read the news on this app then why have it? |
| 2022-03-18 |  | | Both Fox59 and CBS4 are owned by Nexstar. The apps are identical. Same problem with the stories. Two paragraphs and the rest is just white screen. It's probably the ads, and there are way too many, causing the issues. And probably on purpose. Hacking. Who knows. If you can't read the news why have the app. Bye bye. |
| 2022-03-02 |  | | I used to love this app , WHEN IT FUNCTIONED CORRECTLY, almost 3/4 of the time I can't even get through a whole story because your app glitches & cuts off over half of whatever I'm trying to read , a fix would be NICE !!!!!!!! |
