Could be useful, but is not
You do get live local alerts, which is nice. However, a majority of them are advertisements for their news broadcast. Very annoying. And when you actually want to go in app to view something that they tell you about, like live weather reports (very important in Oklahoma), it takes forever to load. But wait, it loads the local ads before the live stream or other video content just fine...yet afterwards...it crashes or takes forever to load. Just a poorly developed/updated app. Wish they would either tell you the information in the notifications it sends out. Cause those would be helpful.

National News
This app was working fine for a very long time, but now has an update issue with the National News part. Basically, it no longer updates the National News part. Still has as leading news the vice presidential debate which is old news.
Local news gets updated as usual but National News does not. Please fix this issue! I try to get my news each morning with this app!
Thanks
Ps. The contact tab on this app will not let an email past your security system either, needs fixed as well.
Thanks for your help.

Push notifications
I love the app for what it is and appreciate all the hard work and effort that has gone into it. My only frustration is that when you click on a push notification that has just been sent out, the link is usually nowhere on the app to the article! That or it'll take you to a live feed that's on something completely different.

Has potential big buggy
Your app has potential, but really needs work. Often times when I try to open from a push notification the story seems to be gone. Other times it opens a page and all I get is commercials. Don't send notifications if the story isn't available in the app. Also, when I tried to send feedback directly the email failed because it is a restricted email address. I'll give you 1.5 stars, rounding down because of the restricted email address.

App is okay but an older version was better
The older version of the app was better this one. The older app would open properly when I click on a push notification for a link. With the last update when I click a push notification the app opens up sometimes with the correct link or to the home page. Before I can get to the app safari opens with the correct link. It has gotten annoying to me of late. I decided to click the Contact Us link in the menu to send an email about the problem. Guess what happened? I got an error email saying User unknown.
Note: I just clicked the App Support link on this page. It opens the home page.

Crashing / won't open anymore
After a recent update to iOS 8 the app started crashing. Black screen with loading circle but never opens. Delete & reinstallation didn't work. Used to work great prior to the update. Also Tech support link sends you to an email addy that is only for people wanting to advertise with you. Not app tech support. Will revise review once fixed:)

Last update
Was a good app until last update. Very annoying alert tone that I eventually turned off sound in notification center on iPhone since there is no option to change tone within app. Very rude awakening at 5 AM to that alert to get a linked to just a pop up window that says the exact same thing the alert showed.

Shame on Apple
Shame on apple for not allowing To down grade to iOS 5, what a bunch
Of creeps...map in iOS 6 is so lame If I had known this a head of time, I wouldn't
Of up graded... I have lost all respect For apple... Now,
The only reason I bought phone in the first place, was because of the map. Why post here? Because the giant removed my post on there site, trying to step on the little guy... I will never...
Never.. Buy another product from apple again. NOW... I know why, the bite in apple is there... And it isn't a good thing.

It's okay but needs work
I really don't find that I'm finding the most accurate or the latest in news reporting for an app. For a news breaking application this is lacking there are other applications for the news that I would rather use Fox 23. I am very disappointed that fox did not come up with something that was more innovative and groundbreaking.
I will keep this app but creators please try to come up with a little something Else that set it apart from the competitors

Needs improvement
I used the previous Fox 23 old app every day. This one is not so great. Struggles to load and isn't as user friendly as the first one. I felt like they took a big step back with this app and need to bring the old on back. I honestly use all the other news app 3 times a day and I may check the Fox 23 app once a week. Needs better formatting, stories need to be updated more often and pictures never load with story.
