| 2024-07-05 |  | | Way too much clickbait advertisement on the app, as you try to scroll to find what you're actually looking for. |
| 2024-05-23 |  | | It's a good app, but they don't cover all of the news as well as they should. Some stories are repeated, while other news is just left out. This is something new in the last 3 videos there's NO SOUND!! You need to fix this or stop showing a video option. |
| 2024-01-15 |  | | The app is ok, If we could take the functions off the screen while im tryna watch that would be great. Other than that, no problem here |
| 2023-02-22 |  | | App has an intuitive user interface, no glitches, reasonable resource and battery use and a relatively bias-free content and push alerts. Key requests to get to 5 stars: 1) All me to pull up older stories for world news and US news. 2) Allow me to select specific categories of alerts and content. I don't need the alerts for live streaming. For instance, South Jersey news, national/world news, sports. |
| 2023-02-17 |  | | Like, c'mon... 😒 It's 2023. I should be able to cast on iOS and Android platforms seamlessly. At least we got Dark Mode. I constantly get something went wrong when streaming. And quite honestly I don't need to have access to other markets or even FOX News network if I specifically downloaded Fox 29. Also, it would be pretty cool to have a good day Philadelphia theme song tone for an alarm sound. |
| 2021-12-08 |  | | App isn't working at all. Trouble shot by uninstalling and reinstalling the app, didn't work. Cleared Google Play store cache, etc again did not work. |
| 2021-11-10 |  | | Weird glitch when watching Live Broadcast, the interface to skip and go back never goes away. I have produced this error on 3 devices, and it's really annoying. |
| 2021-08-09 |  | | It's always something wrong so it won't play. Or the volume is really low until the commercials then it's extra loud. |
| 2021-06-29 |  | | I give it three stars out of five because it's better than nbc10 but not quite as good as 6abc as far as reporting news however it has a nice layout an interface so overall I would recommend it |
| 2021-01-29 |  | | Great when it works! Constantly buffers and too many stupid commercials for a streaming app |
