Leave a Review FOX 8 News
Bait and switch stories and too many ads
They send push notifications that aren’t linked to the actual story. If you want to watch the video attached you have to watch an ad each time, some ads are longer than the video you watch. Grew tired of the app overall so it’s time to try a different news stations app for awhile.James Charless
Why no more articles?
Not sure if this is related to any app updates, but lately it seems all of the news is in video format. I prefer to have the option of reading an article and there seems to be less and less of those. Half the time I cannot even get the volume to work on news videos. Very frustrating.Salomal
Terrible performance
I cannot stand this app!! They send you a notification and you go there and it’s not on the page. Videos don’t play properly and freeze up regularly and then you can’t get out of the video and must close out the entire app to reload! Way too much work! I’d rather get my news from a fast source!!
Newest thing is you now get notified about a top story and click on it and it takes you to a video with like 3 other news stories ahead of it! No patience for this.
I get a notification from channel 19 news and what do you know, you click on it and it takes you directly to THAT story!! It’s amazing!Show lessnone67
poorly done
even with bug fixes app still won't let me read the complete news article - won't go past addition stories at bottom of page - bring back previous version till you can come up with something better - channel 5 app looking better for alternative. Only news app that makes you watch advertisements before you can see a news story. Too bad you can’t open app and read the news.Show lessCutting loose
Terrible App
Terrible First complaint the advertisement pops up and if you don’t swipe up properly you’re redirected to the advertisement web page. If you choose a news story you want to read another ad shows up and then you never get to the written news and you can’t end the show the only option is to exit the app. This doesn’t happen on all the news stories but quite a few to lead me to go to channel 3 and 19 for my news.Show lessFrank ends
Absolutely nothing but commercials
Channel 8 switched to a new format and nothing but commercials. Rating of 0 out of 10.expnsv1
Why would you take away accessibility
If there’s one thing I really liked about this app it was that I could highlight a paragraph or two of the article and I could choose from multiple options such as “copy”, “look up” and “speak” using my iPhone.
This allowed me to have the article read to me in a monotone voice while I worked on other things. The recent update however, took this accessibility option out. Why? It was one of the best functions of the entire app. I would appreciate if it was re-added in the next update And would certainly allow me to give us up at five.Show lessWilliam Price
New update is worse than before
The new update is difficult to navigate. Have to pretty much jump through hoops to see all news stories. If you view more, click on a story, then page back it takes you back to start- not where you left off. I can never share stories easily, sometimes you can’t even share or save the story. Videos start playing when you click to read the stories. I prefer to read the news. Keep the ads and other stories out of the middle of the relevant news that’s being read- it’s confusing with irrelevant ads and links mixed throughout the news article.Show lessavonlady247
Live Video - Thumbnail Window Issue
The new App update is terrible. I have the iPad Pro and I was able to start the live view in the morning and swipe up and continuing to work while the video played in a thumbnail basically that I could move around the screen. They have removed that ability so when I swipe up, the video stops. Please put back the old style video. If it’s not broken - DON’T FIX IT!Show lessSphinxguy
New update problematic
I updated when prompted and immediately had multiple problems: screen freeze; story disappearing; long time to load story. I deleted, waited a week and tried again today. Seems better but screen has this jerky stuttering motion as I’m scrolling. Can’t take it. Deleted again. Other local news apps don’t do this. I really prefer fox 8. Please fix & refine your app.Show lessnanlamm
