I have no reason to keep this app on my iPhone. ### 1/5 — Misleading *2013-12-14, version 2.4.1* Thought it was an app for the channel. But it's just news, that's what I have the CNN app for. ### 1/5 — No audio *2013-03-27, version 2.1.3* The video's have no sound. Very few news stories. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2013-02-20, version 2.1.3* I love Good Day Columbus, but this app is pretty terrible. NBC 4 and 10TV have way better news apps for Columbus. ### 1/5 — App Crashes Constantly *2013-02-11* Please fix the bug that is causing WTTE Fox28 to crash constantly on my iPad as soon as I click on the app. ### 1/5 — Bad *2013-01-31, version 2.1.3* It won't display any news, new update to stream video doesn't work. They must have some high school kid making their app. IT DOESN'T WORK ### 1/5 — Not working *2011-08-09* I was really excited when I heard about this app but I can't get it to work. There isn't a refresh button and it won't reload on it's own. I wouldn't suggest this app at this time. Hopefully they can work out the bugs. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2011-08-08* This app no longer works. I really likes the articles, but it is stuck on news from a week ago and won't update. Big disappointment. ### 1/5 — Crap *2011-04-25* This news videos and radar won't play. Not cool. This would be great if it worked. ### 2/5 — Could be better *2010-12-31, version 1.1* Best morning new program in Columbus! Unable to upload and share stories to Facebook! Needs improvement! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Constant notifications *2026-03-12, version 10.21.0* 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. ### 1/5 — App no longer works *2026-01-05* As of a few weeks ago this app no longer loads on iPhone 16. The logo pops up, then nothing. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time. *2025-10-28* 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. ### 1/5 — Black screen *2024-04-04* Stopped working. ### 1/5 — Meh *2021-01-29, version 7.33.3* Their news feed is a repeat verbatim of the ABC news feed. ### 1/5 — No sound *2020-01-21* 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. ### 1/5 — Still no sound with the videos. *2019-11-11* 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. ### 1/5 — Agenda *2019-08-08* 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. ### 1/5 — won't open *2017-06-14, version 7.0.0* App won't open since the update ### 1/5 — Terrible and needs work *2016-06-13* 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this news team *2018-06-03* Love this news team and the app. Keeps me up to date without having to watch tv. ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2018-01-25* This news team on this show is the best team ever. Very entertaining! Thanks ### 5/5 — Finally! *2016-09-19* 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!!! ### 4/5 — Eh *2012-03-31, version 1.7.1* Pros: news updates of Columbus area. Cons: no Carolyn bruck :( ### 3/5 — Columbus Ohio *2026-02-04* 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!!!!!!! ### 3/5 — Live tv *2025-11-11* The live tv portion is slow cuts out and doesn't load quickly. When is the update for this coming? ### 3/5 — Please add landscape mode to iPad *2024-10-09* ! ### 3/5 — Good news app, just bad update *2013-02-04* I enjoyed using the FOX 28 news app in it's last version, but with the new update I can't get the news headlines and the 7-day Forecast Video won't load (and I'm on a iPhone 4S). please get these fixed or I'll have to delete the app. ### 3/5 — Weather Radar not working *2010-07-21* Just downloaded this app. The news and traffic look good but I get a blank screen when selecting the weather radar!! Looks like something needs to be fixed. ### 2/5 — Irresponsible *2023-04-18* 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!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
