All my saved selections were gone. Never asked to create a login before, did that hoping my saved stuff came back but it didn’t. Don’t care for the new layout either. ### 4/5 — Foodies *2025-09-13, version 46.5.2* Amazing foodie information!! 😍😍😍 ### 4/5 — Great App *2025-08-15, version 46.5.2* Keeps me abreast of what’s going on locally and nationally in a very timely manner. ### 5/5 — Cliff *2024-10-07, version 46.4.1* 5 Stars ### 2/5 — Commercials *2024-09-27, version 46.4.1* You guys have way too many commercials. And I would like to be able to do other things on my phone and watch the news. I’m unable to do that on my iPhone with your app. ### 5/5 — Weather *2024-09-11, version 46.4.1* Where is Lauren Rosemcramtz? I went on vacation and when I got home she was gone? She ### 5/5 — FCN FOR LIFE! *2024-08-01, version 46.4.1* I love FCN ### 5/5 — Firstcoastnews.com *2024-07-30, version 46.4.1* Good morning Jacksonville ### 5/5 — Well Done! *2024-05-28, version 46.2.1* News I rely on! ### 3/5 — Could hardly hear Attorneys *2024-04-25, version 46.2.1* During the Patrick McDowell case it was hard to hear a lot of the Testimony Attorneys. Thanks maybe get a better Sound system in place for these Televised cases. ### 5/5 — The one and only FCN *2024-02-14, version 46.0.2* My family and I love FCN , been our source for news over fifty years. Keep up the good work. The Kelly family. ### 2/5 — Weather info lacking *2023-12-16* FCN needs a separate app just for weather, like 4 and 30 have. There is barely any info on the weather section on this app. You have to watch videos to see the detailed forecast. If I’m at work or scrolling in public, I can’t watch videos. No written summary available. FCN used to have a weather app but got rid of it a few years ago. Time to bring it back. ### 4/5 — Spot on *2023-08-04, version 45.1* The weather that I live on . My yard and plants depend on adequate water to maintain the growth of my Landscape. Keep up the forecast! ### 5/5 — Weather/Lauren *2023-07-21, version 45.1* Love the way she brings in the fishing aspect. Get your poggies for the kingfish tournament.love it ### 5/5 — Very informative *2023-05-25, version 45.1* On time and easy to follow ### 5/5 — Almost perfect *2023-03-18, version 45.0* You can almost always rely on the future forecast to plan your day! 90% of the time. ### 3/5 — Rook for improvement *2023-01-29* There’s always loading issues and every time I click on “Watch Live” a commercial starts first and delays what I should’ve seen live. Otherwise, the format is decent compared to our other local channels ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Misleading *2024-10-17, version 46.4.1* Trying to stir up division in Jacksonville is what first coast news is. Additionally leans very left. Deleting the app. ### 1/5 — Boo *2024-08-05, version 46.4.1* Doesn’t work half of the time ### 1/5 — Typical Media Bias *2023-08-23, version 45.20.1* This media outlet vomits one view and one view only. Just another example of media not working to inform but to influence. ### 1/5 — FCN Weather App *2021-03-30, version 43.2.41* What happened to FCN Weather. It stopped working and even disappeared from the IOS App Store. ### 1/5 — One sided *2020-11-06, version 42.12.20* I can’t watch anymore or follow app. So one sided. ### 1/5 — Notifications *2020-10-04, version 42.10.17* If you have sports notifications turned off, why do you still get jaguars notifications? Bug? I didn’t know anyone really cared about the jags now...lol ### 1/5 — Notification settings *2020-09-25* I like this app except for the notifications. I have turned off all of the sport notifications but I still get notifications about the jaguar games. I even tried turning the local notifications off so I would stop seeing them because I don’t like football and I don’t want to see anything about football come across my phone. I would really appreciate if the developers of this app would make it so someone who has the football notifications turned off doesn’t see anything about football. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2020-09-13, version 42.9.18* I have your ‘settings’ set to NOT be notified about each and every sports thing - but it continually annoys me with ‘Jaguars’ everything! How can I stop this?!?!?? ### 1/5 — Horrible APP *2020-06-12* I love First Coast News! It’s my favorite source for local news. The app is horrendous! It drops videos while you are trying to watch some breaking news. Or, if it doesn’t drop the video, it doubles up on the voice, like an echo, so you can’t even hear what they’re saying. I will get a notification, then will go to the app, and it’s not even showing up anywhere! That has happened several times! Please fix this app! I want to love it! ### 1/5 — Poor FCN App design and not user friendly! *2020-03-15, version 42.3.15* Your updated FCN App is poorly designed and is not user friendly, particularly in attempting to go to the sections I wanted to read. The prior version was very well done and had great navigation. If there was a rating well below zero (0) stars, then I would rate it at least negative quintillion stars below zero (0). ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Suggestion *2026-06-30, version 50.14.0* Why not include the moon information and planets that are aligned? ### 5/5 — Review *2026-03-21, version 46.5.2* excellent way to stay informed on Jacksonville news! ### 5/5 — Mr Marco *2026-02-12, version 46.5.2* Very good news. ### 5/5 — I love the app *2025-11-28, version 46.5.2* It's easy to use and gives me all of the info I need ### 5/5 — Favorite source for news! *2025-11-18, version 46.5.2* FCN is the best and most reliable source for local news, weather and sports (now that Chris Porter is on the team). ### 5/5 — The five *2025-08-09, version 46.5.2* I love the five. ### 5/5 — Best Jax News *2025-06-11, version 46.5.2* 5 star ### 5/5 — Very informative *2025-05-13, version 46.5.2* On time and easy to follow ### 5/5 — Tim Enjoy Your Retirement *2024-11-12* It is never going to be the same without you. You’re part of the family, and we’re going to miss you terribly. You’re the best Weatherman ever!! ### 5/5 — Keeps me up to date *2024-10-22, version 46.4.1* I really enjoy the FCN app. It helps me stay up to date on the news and the latest weather and happenings. It’s a great app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
