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.
Sucks
Sick of looking at the guy in the Ad when you open the app
App doesn’t start with latest ios update

Great on top news

App needs a lot of work
The video resizing is clunky, the in app ads consistently overlay the audio and sometimes the video of the live broadcast whether you’re on WiFi or over a cellular connection. Frustrating app that needs some attention from the developers.
Question
Why don’t you updated stories and remove duplicates. I wish the articles were timely. There is one from last September that is still active.
Thank You!
My wife and I were basically lost, while Verizon FIOS had suspended WFXT during the recent dispute with COX Media. We are extremely pleased that you are Back!
Horrible User Experience
Just sell ads and forget the news because using this site is a nightmare of unwanted pop-ups and nonsense
Too many ads
Long commercials
Weather
Extremely informative
App is awful
The app doesn’t work for live news 99% of the time and the app is just kind of terrible. I don’t know if anyone else has these issues but the app freezes and barely works..
Adds are ruining the experience
I love this channel - and I love the app when it’s working. Ads will take too long to load and then the actual news video is lost. Sometimes the ads cause the news article that is being pushed to my phone to reload constantly and I have to force quit the app. Even if I mute the add and read the bottom it jumps to the top to load the ad that is failing. It’s a bummer. I’d pay to make the ads disappear so I could actually watch the news on the go.
TLDR: The ads literally ruin the reason to have this app.
Well it’s been sometime since I wrote this review of the app and nothing has changed. Got a notification about a storm coming in that I wanted to hear about, the ads play and then stop, times out, I then quit the app. I’ve deleted in reinstalled the app a few times but it’s the same issue. The ads just keep ruining the experience.
Watching this on tv is way better than using the app which is unfortunate if you don’t have time. No news on the go *sadface. Might just watch thru the Hulu app instead.

Bent the knee for 47
Due to the recent political climate, they’re reporting false information about 47 and 🧊 & basically bowing down to a dictator in fear of what he’ll do to their network. It’s gross. It’s a slap in the face to us in MA. It’s not on brand for Boston 25 at all.
I have deleted this app and will not be getting any news from people who bend the knee to authoritarianism.

Love it
I love Boston 25 News app.
Navigation is terrible
I just wanted to get latest weather…sure there is a menu bar and it shows detailed weather but the video doesn’t play. And you can’t delete city’s in the weather list

Video issues
News story videos work half of the time. It’ll make you watch the whole add, then go black. This happens far too often.
Review
You do the best job in covering local news. Channel 5 repeats itself with yesterday’s news you are simultaneously broadcasting today’s news which they will broadcast tomorrow for the most part . While other news casts report “police activity on such and such a street …”as “breaking news just coming in” your station, at the same time, delivering a story on the same subject with all the details even the toughest critical audience could ever ask for. Your station always get the “scoop” on local stories before any other station. While other stations present vague accounts of yesterday‘s news and “feel good” stories as filler you simultaneously are presenting up-to-date and detailed news of today events. Keep excellent reporting of current daily events. One constructive suggestion is to get rid of the term “breaking news“. It is too trite and is used excessively by all news broadcasters.Yet more commonly “breaking news“ should be titled “yesterday‘s news“ by other stations. You are number one!
