  • App crashes and is slow

    I like getting my news from Fox 8, but it’s aggravating to open a story and then have to click “continue reading” after the second sentence. If I didn’t want to read it, I wouldn’t have clicked on that story. Often times that button doesn’t even work and won’t let you read the rest of the story. Also the app does crash quite often.

  • The Cliff Notes of News Apps

    If you only want to read a sentence of a news article this is the app for you. Unfortunately for those of us who want to read more the ‘continue reading’ bar does not work when pressed.
    In fact it can send you to another article all together. For a long time I thought my phone had a virus. Good news no virus bad news app is a mess. Very surprised it has not been fixed. Had been a very good source of news. Now okay if you only want a sentence or two.

  • Ditch the “read more”!

    Everytime I try to expand the “read more” in a news story the app freezes, or if I try to click again it opens another story as it seems there is always a link to another story right under the read more. This button is not only inconvenient but is completely unnecessary. Faster load times don’t count if your clients get frustrated at the buttons to be able to keep reading.

  • Too bad there’s not a zero

    Awesome station awful app. So slooooooooooow. Why? The frozen screen as you futilely jab at the “continue reading “ button. Don’t waste your time the button doesn’t work until all of the ads load. Ads you will never see because any sane person gives up and Google’s the story and reads it from a source that hasn’t let their advertising department kill their app.

    P.S. Who are you people that are providing the same comments in your reviews, and then giving a 3 or 4 star rating?

  • Used to be good

    I don’t know what the deal is, this app used to be good, not anymore. Every single article you need to click “Continue reading” to get past the first 2 sentences. I didn’t open the article to just read the opening statement, so that’s annoyance number 1. Secondly, half the time the “continue reading” button doesn’t work or when you think it works, it just opens the ad hiding underneath the button. Most of the time I just give up and wonder why I bothered. Fix this!

  • Terrible Quality

    This app is always crashing! It closes right when you are in the middle of articles. If I select an article to read why is there a CONTINUE READING button two sentences in the article. Whoever made that feature is an idiot. I used to love this app. I may look into another news channel app. The quality on this has gone down and is very disappointing!

  • Gets worse and worse with each update

    Someone at fox8 needs to lookup what “breaking news” really means. 90% of the breaking news alerts are BS. I have turned off every other option in the settings and still get bombarded by news alerts about meaningless stories. Even if one is important or interesting I can’t even get the story to load. It freezes repeatedly causing me
    To click continue multiple
    Times and often crashes. The stories repeat
    Multiple times as you scroll. Overall I’m at my breaking point and will be deleting.

  • App could be better - great content

    I gave this app another try! I cannot share stories easily nor cannot I read the story by clicking on “continue story.” Today, half the words didn’t fit onto the screen to read the story.

    This previously happened and I deleted the app. I’m deleting my app again. 🙁
  • Awful app

    This app is almost impossible to use. You have to hit a continue story button to read the news articles. The button never works. I hit it several times and nothing happens. When it does work it takes you to the wrong story. The screens constantly jump around so if you do actually get to read a story it’s hard to get through it. 9 times out of ten I get frustrated with the app and end up going to another channel for news. I’ve finally given up. Deleting the app today for good. It’s not worth trying anymore. Major improvements are needed.

  • Terrible app - just dumb flow

    When you click on the story, it then goes to the story and then asks if you want to continue reading, with only giving you a few lines.... ummm if I clicked on the story of course I want to read. Why are you guys asking again to read it? Just to click again for it to load the rest of it? Such a dumb and frustrating app along with all the advertisements.
