Leave a Review FOX 8 News
Improved?
Nope.. not one bit! I want the old one back. Its not easy to see- words are wayy too small, the layout is terrible- you have to scroll through all of the advertising just to find the actual news story. There’s more not to like but I don’t have that much time to list it all!stellablue79
Unable to see articles school closings
You just did an update- and now there are school closings. I am unable to see them- it ends up being a bunch of ads, and a button that says “continue reading override”. This needs some serious fixing. Tried to find someone to email about the ad issues, but no contact info. Hopefully you see this and get it fixed! Yes with recent updates- app keeps freezing.Show lessSteph62948518
Worst news ap
I used to prefer fox 8 over other apps. This app is now terrible. When you click on a story you get about one paragraph then you have to click a “continue reading” button. This rarely works and causes blank screen or freezing. If I did not want to read the entire story I would not have clicked on it in the first place. I have now loaded the other local news stations which do not have these frustrating issues. Don’t waste your time.Show lessWoman Loves the Ace Man!
Terrible
New update?? I love Fox 8 for my news but this app it terrible. When I open a story I want to read I have to another button to open the story after I already opened the story. They call it continue reading but I just opened it. It is the most inconvenient thing and over half the time it’s the reason the app freezes and I can not open the story I wanted to read after opening the story I wanted to read. I was hoping with this new update the developers would have fixed the bugs and issues with the app but I can not see any changes. More features? Great. Fix the ones you have. If it’s too much data that is slowing or causing to freeze try to not repeat the same stories over and over. It would free up data and make the app run smoother.Show lessSmurfy time
Update took away widget.
Updated my app today and once again, the widget with headlines isn’t loading. Another point of criticism is when you open a headline it gives you the “Continue Reading?” Button. Of course I want to load the story and read it. That’s why I opened the link.Wood2112
Barely more than a web browser
It crashes all of the time, and all of the articles load from their website so you have to hit a “continue reading” button after the first two sentences of a story. The fun part though, is that it takes forever to load and rarely does the “continue reading” button work. The detection zone for the same button is often different from where the button is displayed.Show lessRobynsman
PLEASE get rid of the “Continue Reading” button
That button makes it so difficult to read an article. Plus, often the button is over a link so when you click the “Continue Reading” button, you accidentally click a link to a different article. Please, please just have the whole article viewable!LizzieLiz82
Poor set up
In order to read full articles, you must click on continue. That tab is almost always over a link to another article which you end up clicking on. Also, if there isn’t a video associated with a particular article, they stick a different video up there. I can only guess they want you to accidentally click on other links to make it look like more items have been viewed.Show lessRay B B Bb B
Continue Reading
I don’t want to have to click on a button to continue reading the article I just clicked on to read. Most of the time I have to click on that button several times before the article will load OR there’s an ad or a link to another article close to the “continue reading” button and I get directed somewhere I did not want to go. The “continue reading” button seems a little redundant to me.Show lessDC@0002
Worst app ever
This app used to be great. Now, basically when you select a story, you can read the first half of a paragraph of a story and then there is a button you have to press to continue. When pressed, either it takes you to a different story, it does nothing, it directs you to an ad, or it briefly pulls the story up which then disappears and your left with a blank screen! Why?! It’s so frustrating! I’ve checked with others to make sure it wasn’t my phone, but it’s the same for them.Show lessScannin' Johnny
