No other app does this! WHY does Fox 2 need to TRACK and collect info on users? Other major issue is “Watch Live.” It does not play immediately so you miss content, randomly switches to another live show or ads and you don't know what the heck you're watching which is so annoying, random “we’ll be right back” when its not a commercial, ads are awful and looong, and there’s volume control issues. Would expect A LOT more from a local broadcasting network! NOT a user friendly app. ### 3/5 — Not terrible but not stupendous *2024-02-19, version 5.51.0* Hit and miss. Sometimes it’s great, others it’s not….. completely hit and miss. But works decently except the timing. 8pm at night and “view live” is from the morning episode. ### 2/5 — The app needs more attention *2024-01-17, version 5.50.0* Doesn’t show the current news stories that are actually on the news. I have run into this issue often on this app, as well as the QR codes that are shown for ticket discounts. They’re never available on the app like they say they are on the newscast! ### 1/5 — Noise/music when opening *2023-11-10, version 5.49.0* Even though I have video auto play turned off on my phone, noise/music etc plays immediately when I open app. I do not need fox 2 news that bad. I will be deleting it. ### 1/5 — APP FREEZING BAD *2023-10-22, version 5.49.0* The App Is Constantly Freezing Can Just Barely Hear What A Person Is SAYING ### 3/5 — Review *2023-09-22, version 5.48.0* You need to update more stories as they happen like WXYZ does. Had same story all weekend With no updated stories ### 1/5 — Corruption *2023-07-01, version 5.45.0* Where are the reports about how the Russian collusion STORY was proven to be made up by the Clinton’s and democrats? Where are the reports about the Biden crime family taking $ millions in bribe money from foreign countries? Hmm You are helping the corruption and are as guilty as anyone “just following orders”!! ### 3/5 — Fox2 *2023-06-21, version 5.45.0* App is just OK, never the first with breaking news. Weekend reporting is the worst. ### 1/5 — Monday 19th holiday *2023-06-19, version 5.45.0* This is a wasted day, this is nothing to celebrate ,let them celebrate it Thier self . ### 1/5 — News or ads? *2023-04-08, version 5.42.5* Nothing by ads. So annoying. ### 2/5 — Fox 2 Detroit News app *2023-04-03, version 5.42.5* Can’t seem to get a full screen, I did at first when I got the app and tapped on it and now all I get is the small screen, wondering why ### 1/5 — Fox 2 Detroit Watch Live not working *2023-02-21, version 5.42.0* When I use this app and click Watch Live I get the national fox station and. It my local Detroit station. Please fix. Also, App Support function is not working either. ### 1/5 — Can’t watch local news shows *2023-02-20* Didn’t want to write a review, but there is no place to contact about an issue. I cannot watch my local Detroit news shows. I tap The Nine live and every time shows as playing but it is always some other live news below it. The whole reason I got the app is th watch my local The Nine, 11 am News & The Noon. Please fix this or the app is useless & will be deleted. I have been having this issue for awhile now. Very disappointed ### 1/5 — Weekend news *2023-02-19, version 5.41.0* Haven’t been able to get the weekend news in the morning. Is it not being streamed? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not fair balanced *2025-02-06, version 5.52.0* Some things are subtle like typeface for obvious digs Strange thing about this app but there are often times words missing in the articles. That can’t be the fault of journalists cause they would check their work The app seems to suffer with a spelling issue very often Anyone ever try to highlight to copy a line? It either changes the story or loses the selection Wow i have an ad that just doesn’t go away Close the app and still there and click on it and relaunces the app Links sent from app have to be copied to browser to work In the article in weather it has a list of school closings but you cannot scroll thru the entire list. Scrolling has been around for decades ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-01-07, version 5.52.0* This app makes users literally search to find any news, one big ad…..why even do it? Can’t review without a nickname? ### 1/5 — 💗DEENA🌹🥇🏆🫶🏼 *2024-10-31, version 5.52.0* Slow loading app. ### 1/5 — Not fair balanced *2024-10-21* Some things are subtle like typeface for obvious digs Strange thing about this app but there are often times words missing in the articles.

Biden has falsely claimed that inflation was 9% when he took office multiple times. Not a peep from fox 2. Failing grade for bias F. Hall of shame ### 1/5 — Won’t let me watch Detroit *2024-04-27, version 5.52.0* Not happy ### 1/5 — Updates *2024-01-15, version 5.50.0* Worst updates. I end up googling to find out what’s going on. The weekends are the worst. Updates are midday on Monday. ### 1/5 — Veterans Day *2023-11-10, version 5.49.0* Thought Veterans Day was to appreciate all our vets and Memorial Day was to honor those that gave all. Family in the service remind me this every year. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wife *2025-01-29, version 5.52.0* My dogs ### 5/5 — Fox 2 News *2024-06-10, version 5.52.0* It is really great to know what is happening at all times with me. ### 5/5 — Hot dog hot dog. *2023-11-28, version 5.49.0* We make hot dog sandwiches all the time.

My favorite is The Nine. This app lets me have all of that right in my hand. If there is something I heard on the news that morning that I wanted to talk about with my fiancé later that day, so I have to do is pull up the app. It’s great. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
