Fox 25 app

Love the app! Only issue I have sometimes is the app will send me a notification and won’t actually load correctly… also im not sure why, but on the weekends I can’t watch the weather in the mornings… other than those cpl issues I do love this app!

The app is not the best

This is one of those strange, non-rotating app requiring it be used sideways on my iPad. I like the station but the app is the reason I often skip reading or watching local news.
