Worst News app ever absolute garbage!

Absolutely worst news app I’ve ever experienced. Story quality and summary articles of other national stories is less the middle school quality work. Staff writers journalistic credentials are from a bubble gum machine at Walmart. They couldn’t write a story for 3rd grade publication with a grade out come better than a D-. Stories are summations with few facts that are relevant to original national articles on the same story. Fire the Editor fire, the staff, delete this low quality new app or you will be misled by it. Austin’s ability to report quality broadcast or news articles is lower than except-able for city of this size. UT’s “Daily Texan” is the only half decent quality news organization in the city of Austin the Daily I’d give this App a -5 if I could!

Won’t load

I’m using iOS v15.1 on an iPhone 11 and I just get the loading screen! I haven’t been able to use it for a couple of months now. I get the headlines in my notifications but the links takes me to the loading screen and no further…

Worst “news” app ever

Notifications pop up on phone/ iPad about a specific story. When you click on the notification that story is nowhere to be found on the Fox 7 page… deleting and going to another channel

Same news for many days

There is the same old news for days with only one update. It is frustrating.

Alerts

I have this app set up with alerts which come up frequently but when I tap the alerts story it takes me to the Fox 7 app and to a completely unrelated story and then I can even find the story I was alerted about! Deleting this app for this reason.

App is glitchy

Only works some of the time. I often get a black screen with message “Server Error: Try again later.” Should work better!

Fox 7 News is the Best for so. Central TX

I find good information on most of your stories, but in your “Sponsored Stories” they are not stories. They are miss leading ads. I’ve seen one that says there is beautiful apartments for the elderly. It shows a nice looking building. Also one of tonight’s “Sponsored Stories” you have one that shows hundreds of vehicles for sales also here in Florence. Both totally bogus. It’s lies. Nothing even close to your “sponsored Stories” exists here in Florence TX. Actually all those supposed stories are nothing but ads. Please be more responsible about how you show ads & not list them as stories. Disappointed.

average at best

Sure, it’s doesn’t update news daily. and yeah, it’s filled with adds. But by far it is the most poorly edited news app I have ever witnessed. I don’t believe anyone reads these stories before they are published to the app. For example: “ A 13-year-old girl was killed and two other teens were wounded Saturday night in Austin on the West Side.”. Yet the story i was reading was about Chicago. Get it together! get a better app copy editor.

Worst news app

I have lived in several areas of the country. This is the worst Fox News app I have ever encountered. The news will stay the same for days with no update of top stories. On top of this, the network itself makes no attempt to even pretend they are unbiased.

Not updated very often

Same stories remain for weeks or longer. Maybe a couple new ones but majority are old.
