After about 15-20 mins of live streaming the app looses audio sync and has to be restarted. ### 4/5 — COULD BE 1 in STL *2025-02-24* All you guys need to do is allow users to stream the news LIVE (when it actually airs) for FOX2 (and even channel 11) KMOV/FIRST ALERT 4 & KDSK allow live streams of news coverage (when airing) If you guys did this. You’d instantly be #1. People have been asking for this forever now…… A lot of people working/traveling. So the app is easier. But what’s the point if you can’t even listen to the news when it’s airing live… Not a hard concept at all. ### 2/5 — Distorted *2024-08-12* Overall, a very negative website. I don’t consider this journalism, they just look for the worst story they can find and run it. It’s almost like they go digging around in neighborhoods for someone to complain on camera. Watching the broadcast is just as bad. Mandy Murphy shaking her head when she reads a story. I wish they put this much effort into positive stories. ### 2/5 — Needs work *2024-03-15* The app was generally good. The last major update introduced bugs including one where the “view more” button doesn’t work. The support channels/requests don’t seem to be monitored, so it hasn’t been fixed in months. So only a fraction of the stories are visible. ### 3/5 — Decent, even with bugs *2024-02-07* The news is generally well displayed and stories are relevant and timely. A good app with timely updates and notifications that you can configure. Recent bug with the “view more” button on the list of news stories has limited my use. ### 1/5 — Fox 2 news *2024-01-10, version 500.0.0* You need to fix all I am getting is a stupid weather alert ### 1/5 — What happened? *2023-04-28, version 41.20.0* I installed the latest update and now there is just a black screen. ### 1/5 — Live *2023-01-19, version 41.16.0* Can’t even watch live stream anymore. ### 3/5 — Live *2023-01-17, version 41.16.0* Why is there no longer a LIVE feature? ### 1/5 — Live stream is horrible *2023-01-13, version 41.16.0* Don’t waste your time. All it does is play commercials are recorded promotions. It takes me five times to reset to get to a live stream some days. ### 2/5 — Too much advertising *2022-12-23* There is very little news and a ton of advertising. And if that were not bad enough, the ads are set up so when you are trying to scroll through a story, you can’t help but to touch an ad. Which then causes the web browser to open. You have to click out of that. Make sure you actually close that web page, and then go back to the app. And if you are not paying attention and being careful, it happens all over again. It is just not user friendly. Filled with click baits. If you want to see their news articles, go to the website. ### 1/5 — Worse App Ever *2022-03-02, version 41.9* Freezes up all the time, the latest update doesn’t work at all, opens with an old video & freezes, needs a complete revision by someone who knows what they are doing!!!!! ### 1/5 — Constantly freezes / bugs *2022-02-06* I used to really like this app, but is has been freezing up and has been acting very buggy over the past few months. When I click on any alerts that I received over the last few weeks, it will not open the alert after the app opens, I can’t find it within the “top stories” and it will freeze up while I am searching for it. ### 1/5 — News *2022-01-25, version 41.8* This was my go to app for local news. With every update it gets worse & has the largest most annoying pop up ad of all. Have to watch some videos whether I want to or not. Considering deleting it. ### 1/5 — Trash *2021-10-21, version 41.6.0* Keeps freezing. Uninstalled and reinstalled several times to no avail. Totally useless at this point. ### 1/5 — Useless *2021-09-15, version 41.5.0* The bloated layout of the ads make it nearly impossible to navigate any news story. Whoever stuffed the app reviews with 5 stars must be working for the developer. Absolutely horrible app. ### 1/5 — Buggy corporate app. Always broken *2021-06-03, version 41.2.1* Unfortunately this corporate app is usually broken, especially after updates. My favorite is when I press a breaking news push notification and it opens up to a blank screen, never loading the content it sent me. Sigh. On to KSDK CH 5’s app now. ### 1/5 — Was good now not so much *2021-05-23* The app loads video so slowly. Instead of giving option to play video or read text just loads video and slows down the whole app. Don’t have time for every story to load. Bring back the choice to play video or read text. And make it load quicker ### 1/5 — Crashes constantly *2021-05-06, version 41.1.0* I do not like the format of the new app, as titles are hard to read. But it doesn’t matter since it crashes every 2 minutes. It’s always crashed often but since the new update, it is so much worse. ### 1/5 — New App Horrible! *2021-05-03, version 41.1.0* If it ain't broke don't fix it. Now new app has frustrating glitches. Back button doesn't work is my main complaint. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Blair’s social BS *2026-05-11, version 507.0.0* Stop putting that on FB. If I follow news for news not games. Fire Blair while you’re at it ### 1/5 — Horrible ads *2026-02-15, version 504.0.0* If you even barely touch an ad it opens in your browser. That and the over abundance of ads has me uninstalling it. More accurate and faster news available on social media. This station has gone downhill fast. ### 1/5 — New update screwed up weather *2025-12-29, version 503.0.1* Used to be a decent app, then new update screwed up the weather part and radar, now DELETING APP ### 1/5 — Cant watch news live anymore! Fix this ! I signed up with my email. Still can’t watch! *2025-11-08, version 502.0.2* Why did you change the app??? ### 1/5 — Never updates *2025-03-30, version 500.8.0* It shows the same stories for days. It doesn’t give you any current events. Very bad unless you want to seem the same articles consistently for weeks. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2024-02-15, version 500.1.1* App won’t load on my iPhone with 17.3. Freezes when trying to install. Other news channels in St. Louis load and operate with no problems. Used to be my favorite site, but not anymore. Plus, when trying to confirm, every nickname is taken. ### 1/5 — App don’t work *2024-02-06, version 500.1.1* I have downloaded and I can only put in zip code!! Nothing else works. Used this app for years. ### 1/5 — Fox 2 news app, St. Louis *2024-02-01, version 500.1.1* I’m not sure if you changed the format for this app, if you did please change it back! The articles letters are huge and all run together horizontally, it’s horrible! This app used to be my favorite, I’ve tried everything to get it back to normal, nothing seems to work. ### 1/5 — WAY too buggy after update! *2024-01-28, version 500.0.4* Ads take up the entire screen, if you try to scroll you get a tine one or 2 line opening at the bottom to read! If you try and rotate your tablet, half the article text is cutoff. Don’t waste your time with it! ### 1/5 — Lousy app update preferences. *2024-01-21* I no longer live in the St. Louis area but still enjoy getting the news from there. Since you have updated the app it won’t let me get past the weather toggle. I don’t need the weather from there just want the news. I had the old app ever since we moved and liked it. Now I can’t get the app because of the weather notifications which I don’t need and won’t let me choose to to use the weather selection. What’s up with that. I have since deleted ur app and moved onto KSDK 5. Your loss ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sishevksjsgdjenwjqkq *2020-10-20, version 6.9.2* ITS COOL ### 5/5 — Fox 2 *2020-05-01, version 6.7.0* Love it ### 5/5 — Safe *2020-04-04, version 6.5.3* Y’all be safe! ### 5/5 — Well. I’m normally not a Fox person *2020-04-01, version 6.5.3* But this app is pretty darn good in getting the timely news needed during this pandemic. Thank you ### 5/5 — Fox 2 *2020-03-26, version 6.5.3* The best news and app in St.Louis! Fox 2 News is the best in St Louis ! ### 5/5 — Life changing! *2020-02-24, version 6.5.1* Will always be a fox watcher. ### 5/5 — Ms. V *2020-01-07, version 6.5.1* I love fox’s 2 it’s the best news ever!! ### 5/5 — Ever a fox fan *2019-11-04, version 6.5.1* I love Fox 2. The shows, the app. Thank you for all that you do to make this work so well for all of us. ### 5/5 — Human interest *2019-07-21* I like the stories about the poor little people who get fired by political powerful people and then fight back. The inspector general in the sec of state office threatened battery against an employee before he interviewed her. Director then agreed. Employee is suing in s Ill fed court. Can’t wait to read more. Thanks ### 5/5 — Rating *2019-06-23, version 6.4.1* Is this app able too tell us where have all the cowboys gone? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
