Used to be pretty good app
This was the only news app I’ve had since I got my first smartphone. Now I get disgusted every time I open the app. When you scroll down the home page, they show about 5 or 6 stories over and over again. You like that story? Good. Scroll down a little further and you can read it again and again. C’mon guys. You made the changes. Did you ever even look at it?

Not receiving notifications
I have local news apps for myself as well as other cities where my adult children live. I receive multiple push notifications throughout the day from each of them (for example KRON 4 in the SF Bay Area notifies me of earthquakes, as well as other important news.
But I don’t get push notifications from this App FoxDallas, even though I have the Notifications toggle turned on.
I would have expected to receive notifications about the tornado, yet I did not. I’m disappointed and hope that I will receive more notifications about important Dallas/Allen news from this app.

Tornado coverage
Thank you Fox 4 for streaming on your app during storms! I was in Utah while my family was ducking for cover during a tornado warning and was able to watch live coverage and see what was happening as it happened! I could not do that with any other Dallas station. Please add the streaming option to Roku, Xbox and other options so I can stay in touch with my home while traveling!

Nice upgrade, but can’t see some pics
The upgrade is nice; however when you click on the picture for some news articles, the picture is no longer there when you go to read the article. The pictures are small when scrolling through the list of articles to choose from. I was hoping the picture would be bigger once you select that particular article, but the picture is not included in the article. Otherwise the upgrade is good.

App
Really don’t like that pictures available frequently are NOT in the article so you can’t actually see it. Tonight it’s a loose inmate. Can’t see the picture. Before it was a murdered police officer. Can’t see that person. Little thumbnails then nothing in the article except maybe a video which I’ve by now read so only want to see the attached picture that isn’t there.

No visual pictures with stories
This is the second time I’ve downloaded this app. Initially, i didn’t recall the reason I previously deleted it. Two days into using the app, I’m frustrated to recall the reason. I’m dumbfounded to find there is only a single thumbnail picture available for each news article, which promptly disappears upon opening the story. Therefore, once opening the page to read a story, the only visuals available are large advertisements. Nothing correlating with the news article. It’s unbelievable that such a long-standing, reputable news outlet in a large city to have such low standards in decimating news.

New Format
I like the layout of your new app. CBS could learn from your example. It is nice to be able just to scroll down on the opening page to get a great news overview.
Redesign is awful
Recent update basically makes it look like the website, which is super disorganized. The app also now contains fewer articles due to the overlap of their “sections”. I already miss the clean quick way you could get all the important local news. I will be looking at other local news apps because if I wanted their terrible website I’d go to it. This app will no longer be one of the first things I open in the morning.

Can find relevant news, weather and traffic.
Like this team of reporters in the morning, to get my day started. The WAPP is very helpful.
Only picky is the banner with time and temp on TV is no longer visible(and hasn't been for a long time) on any TV in the house. It's so far to the left side it's not visible. I go to other stations for that info.
Overall, well done Fox 4!

Fox 4 news app
I have eliminated watching news from my life. I had to make changes and cut out the repetitive negative messages. I have enjoyed it keeping up with the news with this app. I can pick and choose what information I want to know since too much negative news can have a negative impact on me. Works great for local information.
