| 2023-10-30 |  | | This use to be a great news app. Hardly ever update always old news never ever send breaking news notifications or any notifications. I might get notifications twice a month So I just watch on TV because the app no good |
| 2023-04-21 |  | | Can't you do away with the full-time pause button and other graphics on the live-streams? Just give the option by tapping on the screen...full time distracts while watching news.. |
| 2022-06-15 |  | | I liked this app, would give 5 stars if we could stop notifications we do not want! All of a sudden, a few weeks ago, I am getting sports trivia questions up to 5 times a day. Its very annoying! I want the news notifications or weather notifications. Not sports trivia thru the day. Please stop the sports trivia or allow us to opt out! I have been trying to opt out!! |
| 2021-08-25 |  | | The programmers obviously don't use the the app. It sucks. Doesn't go full screen, can't chromecast, can't center window. What planet are you on? Now.. No audio. Still no Chromecast.ad..ad..ad..ad.. No content |
| 2021-03-10 |  | | I really enjoy the app, but the only reason for downloading it for me is to participate in daily instapolls. So here's the absolute crazy suggestion - > Aby chance the app developers can add a direct link to "Fox 5 Live InstaPoll" on the main page, please? Assuming the top-left corner, opposite to the "Watch Live" red button, would be ideal. Thank you! |
| 2021-01-29 |  | | There was a time I watched this station every morning before work. But now this station is so far left it makes me sick to follow. To bad this station not for all Americans, just the left. Only thing this station good for is local crime. |
| 2020-12-31 |  | | I absolutely enjoy my Fox app, especially when I am able to weigh in on the Polls, my favorit! I read the articles in my Fox app even while watching movies, lol!! My children and love always wonder if I am paying attention to the movie on while reading, I truly am paying attention, lol, I simply enjoy multi-tasking. Why supply ALL of your attention to a show, TV, when you can use the other portion of your brain to work at the same time, read! LadyBđź’› |
| 2020-12-13 |  | | Weather is a Zero. TV says it will be 80 on Sunday. App says it will be 68. App repeats headlines. Open and see a story, scroll down and see it again. So much for NEWS. Ads are fine but 30 secs of data is too much. Still redundant stories. Is the staff being paid by the word ? |
| 2020-05-31 |  | | News video clips usually don't complete, though the ad portion always works fine. Grammar and spelling errors often in articles. Otherwise more balanced reporting. |
| 2020-04-29 |  | | When I receive an alert or news update, it never opens the news item when I click on it. Also Watch Live times out (circles to catch up) or exists the app in the middle of news conference. |
