Constant notifications

As of a few weeks ago, I’ve been receiving constant notifications about stuff from all over the place. I used to only receive local news alerts, now I’ll wake up to 50-100 notifications from stuff in some rural town in a state two times zones away. This app was always my go to for local news, now there is no way I could recommend this to anyone. There’s also not an option to change the notifications for local news as of now. Really hope they go back to how it was.

Columbus Ohio

Use to love the app I love watch out news when getting ready! But lately it’s been buffing more than showing the news! So I uninstalled it and then installed it back…Let hope this helps!!!!!!!

App no longer works

As of a few weeks ago this app no longer loads on iPhone 16. The logo pops up, then nothing.

Live tv

The live tv portion is slow cuts out and doesn't load quickly. When is the update for this coming?

Don’t waste your time.

They update this news once a week and that’s if you’re lucky. Just get another news app cause the stuff on here is old news. Like really old.

Please add landscape mode to iPad

!

Black screen

Stopped working.

Irresponsible

I just watched the morning news where Mike McCarthy reported about Jayland Walker. He specifically talked about, and showed on a map, where protesters were gathering and named specific times for certain gatherings. To me, this is encouraging protests and inciting protests that can lead to riots and criminal activities. Extremely irresponsible!!!

Meh

Their news feed is a repeat verbatim of the ABC news feed.

No sound

It’s basically in useable as there is no sound and no sound control. Doesn’t appear to be an issue with my my iPhoneX.
Also, if I view an ad once, one shouldn’t have to view it for every other video clicked once is enough, please it’s just not necessary.
Content looks good otherwise, can’t wait to “hear it” someday.

Still no sound with the videos.

I saw a review from 6 yrs ago saying there was no sound with the videos. You would think after 6 yrs the developers would have fixed that.

Agenda

Your agenda driven headlines have made me make the decision to delete your app, particularly with the presidents visits to our local area. When you can be fair and objective I’ll be happy to read your news again.

Love this news team

Love this news team and the app. Keeps me up to date without having to watch tv.

Best app ever

This news team on this show is the best team ever. Very entertaining! Thanks

won't open

App won't open since the update

Finally!

Tried various other news apps for our local Columbus news, and kept being disappointed until I finally found Fox28's. The news feed loads quickly and allows you to scroll through dozens of news articles smoothly, any articles you click on load fast, the ads aren't annoying, and the menu function is instantaneous and user friendly. The app developer really should be proud! Thank you!!!

Terrible and needs work

This app is good at giving me news notifications but when I swipe to read the story it disappears and is no where to be found. The live events and live news links never work.

Work on this and make sure it actually works before you advertise it during your broadcasts or on Facebook.

Live stream won't work

The old app had terrible streaming interruptions, which made it almost impossible to view, but the new one keeps giving a video unavailable message during the live broadcast. I have no reason to keep this app on my iPhone. <delete>

Misleading

Thought it was an app for the channel. But it's just news, that's what I have the CNN app for.

No audio

The video's have no sound. Very few news stories.
