It’s the same three all the time and sometimes it’s just one commercial playing in a loop. ### 1/5 — App does not open/work anymore *2021-11-17, version 5.28.0* I cannot get the app to open since the last update. I have to delete and reinstall every time I want to open it. ### 2/5 — Too many commercials! *2021-11-15* Nice connect to the station, but every time I go to a new area I am forced to endure a commercial with no way to skip. I finally decided it was more trouble than it was worth. ### 1/5 — Crashing *2021-10-12, version 5.28.0* I updated the app, updated to iOS15.0.2, won’t launch, just crashes. ### 1/5 — Weather info *2021-09-19, version 5.27.0* Frustrating that I can’t change the location to a different Washington city on your app. ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2021-02-25, version 5.23.0* App will take you to stories you don’t want to read or watch. Make you click an article after article to get back to the home page. Horrible app. Do not download. ### 2/5 — Not Working *2021-02-12, version 5.22.1* All I get is the weather information. I don’t get any news stories or alerts. ### 1/5 — Crap *2020-11-04, version 5.19.1* Down loaded Q13 Seattle but getting Arizona news ### 2/5 — Just go to the front page! *2020-09-08, version 5.18.0* I’ll decide what stories I want to read first thank you. I’m a big boy now! ### 1/5 — New App for Q13 *2020-08-29* This new streaming app does not work well with Apple devises. On the phone is fine but it’s very glitchy when streaming from my phone to the tv which is how I get my news in the morning. I can’t use my phone while streaming the newscast or it will turn off. The volume doesn’t work while streaming to the tv either. The old app was fine and worked much better. Hope you can fix the bugs. ### 1/5 — Disappointingly Horrible. Stories now click bait for ads. *2020-08-22, version 5.17.0* Now when you click on story titles you get video ads. Awful. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — NFL Sunday *2024-11-03* Fox 13 doesn’t deserve to air the NFL game. You are too anxious to run ads, Sunday is football day and we want to watch football not ads and then to cut the NFL halftime out to put a high school marching band on is totally not ok. We want to see what all the NFL games are doing. 13 you don’t have a clue!!! ### 1/5 — Tracking. *2024-05-16* I’m no longer going use this app. I don’t want to have to allow tracking just to stay aware of news in my local area. Recently the app “please allow tracking…” however there was no option to say no. So, instead I deleted the app. ### 1/5 — What happened to local news *2023-02-20, version 5.42.0* I have use this app every morning for probably at least the past year and what is up with this FOX NOW crap I don’t care. This is not what I download the app for. ### 1/5 — Nothing to see here. *2022-12-21* With this app you’ll see about four news stories a day. It’s as if nothing ever happens around here. The advertisements in between the news stories are huge, as if they’re more exciting than the stories themselves. And they sometimes are. Just the most boring, “what’s the point of this?” news app possible. Honestly…do better. ### 1/5 — One sided reporting *2022-05-25, version 5.32.0* If you want to see what used to be a highly rated news station move to the new media format of one sided political based reporting, enjoy! ### 1/5 — This App and Station are a waste of time *2022-01-21, version 5.29.5* This used to be the moderate voice here in Seattle but it has been going far left more and more! The company that owns it has been getting rid of the moderate voices there! Shame I guess if they go low I will go lower OAN here I come ### 1/5 — liar mp *2022-01-15, version 5.29.5* lol everything is ask my gf call me she will talk to you.. mp will be homeless and careless so he will need a home and a ride or bus money. thank you! ### 1/5 — Fox News in general *2021-12-10, version 5.29.5* And we were told that The Operation Mockingbird plug was pulled😂😂😂🤣 Seriously 😳 You have got to start telling the TRUTH SOMEDAY ‼️🚫😷🚫💉 No wonder you have a whopping 83 👍🏼 Had YT not removed the 👎🏼votes we would all know exactly how much we hate the Fear Mongering and the constant covid Crap. A 99% survival rate and back to work is what you should have said ONCE OR TWICE ‼️🗣We are entering a phase of Global Justice where Media Moguls and all accomplishes will be sent to PRISON😁👍🏼 Times are a changing 😱🤗🤣😂😂😂😡 ### 1/5 — Won’t load up *2021-12-01, version 5.29.0* App will not load up!! ### 1/5 — At first *2021-11-28, version 5.29.0* At first it was good. But in the last few days it is whacky. Popping up stories before it even show the home page. Sometimes a dozen. Most annoying. If it can’t be stop I’ll drop the app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Please fix this issue *2024-12-10* Please fix this issue ### 5/5 — Excellent coverage of the news. *2022-08-08* The most complete and accurate I’ve found in Seattle. ### 5/5 — Fastest alerts in Seattle *2022-04-11* This app is much improved since I first downloaded it. FOX 13 seems to have the fastest alerts in town! I love the people and use the live streams all the time. ### 5/5 — Easy to navigate *2022-04-06* Easy to use and good local content ### 5/5 — Works great *2020-07-17, version 5.16.1* Love the new app and it runs flawlessly! ### 5/5 — Snappy and fast *2020-07-07* I like it much better than the old app but it would be nice to navigate to more news per section ### 4/5 — Incorrect information *2025-03-09* Still showing “You decide 2024”. It’s now March 2025. Further, in typical Seattle area fashion, content leans extremely left. We need Fox to be neutral in reporting. ### 4/5 — Why no Roku App? *2020-09-09, version 5.17.0* Why isn’t this app available on Roku devices? It works great on Apple devices. ### 3/5 — Passable *2023-08-02* Fox killed q13 local news, now we have a generic replacement. But as for the app itself, it just barely works.. live video only plays if you don’t touch your phone in any way else it will stop and can’t resume, no PiP support, no background playing. Basic support only ### 3/5 — Fix the navigation *2021-05-10* With the breaking news alert notifications, after clicking you are brought to an article and when hitting the back arrow, it takes you to a precious story. It continues to do this until you are finally back to the Home Screen. If the app had a quick access back to the Home Screen from a nested article then I would give 5 stars! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
