Leave a Review FOX 8 News
It changed and not for the better
I used to love this app, but like what others are saying, it has a lot of issues now and I’m looking for another news app. Something changed and we have to click on ‘read more’ to read the start. Sometimes it works on the first or second time of tapping it and sometimes, not at all. It just freezes or opens another story. It’s very glitchy. I typically don’t get frustrated over apps but this one has to go if the bugs don’t get fixed.Show lessytsrsfuhxfxgusf
Good luck
This is a wonderful app if you are a fan of being frustrated. The articles cause my screen to freeze. I’ll open an article to read (if it doesn’t freeze my screen up) and then I am asked to press a continue reading button that sometimes freezes up the screen. Here’s a hint for the app, if I opened the article that means I want to read it. The app also asks for our comments but when I press the send button I get an automatic reply that the email address doesn’t exist. So I’m guessing they don’t actually care about feedback.Show lessAloysius von ludwig the 3rd

Poor performing app
I like Fox8 news. The app used to be fast and reliable. In recent months, the app has been sluggish and prone to crashing, especially when I tap the button to read more. Why can’t the full story load when I tap on the story? Why do I have to tap a button to read more? Hopefully the app will get slimmed down and just work again.Show lessvfd3
Aggravated
I love this app, and the alerts I get. But, whenever I click on continue reading, I have a mini argument with my phone, I have to click it a dozen times, still doesn’t expand or goes to a different story. So over the frustration. Why is it sooo hard to continue reading a story I clicked on to read in the first place!! I give it a B-Show lessStaceyR817
Can’t even read the stories anymore
I used to love reading all the stories daily but whatever update was done is terrible and now I can’t even read any stories anymore..the “read more” to read the rest of the story normally makes the whole thing go haywire and I don’t get to read it or when you click read more it takes you to a completely different story that you didn’t even click on..so disappointed because I enjoyed reading the news but I just deleted the app it was just taking up room in my phone. Only looking at the headlines on the homepage isn’t enough haha and when you try to read it you can’t..please fix!!!!Show lessJsh2312
Updated Version.
I don’t like the “click here” button to continue reading a story. Too often the entire screen goes blank and the story is gone. There are times when a story won’t come up at all. I liked the old version. It was easier to read and get stories.Marose6
New Ads Crash Phone & LOUD
I don’t know what kind of new update or advertising content has been used but I get MORE loud, sudden, unable to close ads on this app than any other one on my phone. Be it the “Congrats Google User” bogus, the “your phone has a virus” pop op, or a sudden video playing somewhere in the background that makes my phone freeze until I close the app completely.
Thousands of ways to get local news other than dealing with crappy apps. Your website is now more user friendly and convenient.Show lessLivinthedream232145
Does not work
Does not load videos, when clicking on “continue reading” the app shuts down, the pages go blank while trying to read. I have had this app for years. It has never worked properly. After each update I’m hopefully these issues are fixed but they are not. I don’t know how this app has a 4.8 stars. It doesn’t even work! I really hope you guys can get this app working.Show lesskathydj
What happened??
I never had issues with this app before the update. Now, it takes forever to load. I click on an article and have to hit “read more” a million times before it opens the whole thing and then half the time it all goes white and I have to back out and select the article again. It also will reload the page randomly while I’m reading and suddenly be a different article and i have to yet again back out and reselect.Show lessBikesarecool
