Volume goes up and down during streaming. Randomly freezes mid stream. ### 2/5 — Forced to Updat *2023-08-02, version 5.47.0* Piss off Fox 29, you force me to updste, I delete the app. ### 4/5 — Props & locks *2023-03-18, version 5.42.5* Breland Moore She don’t know how to pick him ### 2/5 — APP needs work. *2022-11-16, version 5.39.0* I recently moved from Philadelphia and missed good morning Philadelphia. I downloaded the app to watch it but I only get 2/3 of a screen because the Fox Philadelphia logo along with the notation of what hours it’s on the air is displayed at the top of the screen cutting off the heads of anybody currently on the screen. ### 3/5 — Apple TV *2022-05-18, version 5.32.0* There is no app on Apple TV for Fox 29 Philadelphia, or am I missing it. I have the app on my phone and iPad but am at a loss for the Apple TV. ### 2/5 — Fox29 should be ashamed to put their name on this. *2021-12-25, version 5.29.5* Slow news feed. I’m also pretty sure they have an editor that falls in the special needs category. So many errors in every single story, it’s downright embarrassing. ### 5/5 — Sean Roseberry *2021-11-20, version 5.28.0* Awesome station to get the latest news Whether and sports in Philadelphia thanks Fox 29 you’re the best 👍 ### 2/5 — Stop *2021-09-08, version 5.27.0* Same story headline 3 days now. Governor blah blah blah ### 5/5 — Best Local News App *2021-08-04, version 5.26.5* Simple, clean, and the best app if you want to read the local news. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not a fan *2024-09-27* I was wondering why Bob Kelly doesn’t be around restaurants or places schools whatever we’re Black people are I remember him slipping the N-word few years ago and it really disturbed me he apologize, but he had to but now I noticed that he’s mainly around other folk especially in the summertime he’s always at the shore or like now he’s in Bucks County, but you rarely see him around the black establishments that’s out here or schools. It just feels as though to me and a lot of my coworkers that people go around where they’re comfortable and I notice a lot of people at my job for other reason ### 1/5 — Old news *2024-08-18, version 5.52.0* Most times when I open the app the news from the previous day or even two is still there ### 1/5 — Alex *2023-10-05, version 5.48.0* Can Alex please put her fake hair in the back of her head! It is very annoying! ### 1/5 — Bias *2023-06-02, version 5.44.0* Some real bias on this news site. Recently if someone else had fell you would still be running the news article but since you are trying to protect from negative press you had it on for an hour or two and moved on. ### 1/5 — Ads *2023-03-23, version 5.42.5* Easier to look for news elsewhere when ads on here are atleast 30seconds long before you can watch a video. And also doesn’t update news as quick as other local apps ### 1/5 — Where is Good Day Philadelphia? *2023-02-21, version 5.41.0* I guess someone thought it was a good idea to change the mobile app, where I cannot find the live stream of Good Day Philadelphia in the morning. The red “Live” button that formerly took us to Alex , Mike. Sue and Mike Kelly now links to only some Live Now Raw stream that is apparently streaming out of New York. I do not want to see New York news and top headlines. Please hit the big UNDO button on this change! ### 1/5 — Not updated enough. *2022-10-23, version 5.38.0* This ap is updated less that once per day. Same news day after day. Also Kyle Schwarber is a left feilder NOT a catcher as your article on his nlcs hr last night. ### 1/5 — This app never comes on anymore. *2022-01-16, version 5.29.5* All I see is the loading spin! The app was great but now it doesn’t work at all. Sadly have to delete it. ### 1/5 — Proofreading *2021-09-17, version 5.27.0* I wish someone would proofread the articles before they are published ### 1/5 — Need *2021-06-30, version 5.26.0* Need eagles games available ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — What *2024-12-17, version 5.52.0* What I iiiiiiuIi huhuhuuuu it’s not my goal guy how l ### 5/5 — Y. *2024-10-29, version 5.52.0* Wel 4 z Dr ### 5/5 — News on the Go! *2024-08-28* Loving the app so far. Would love for it to include the option for PiP, this way can still watch if needing to minimize. Currently it just closes and then must reload. Other then that, great to watch my favorites (Mike & Alex). ### 5/5 — News castor *2024-05-30, version 5.52.0* Sue serio is radiant today very Beautiful I would give her a hug if I was there ### 5/5 — Karen Hepp’s clothes are so pretty. *2024-05-29, version 5.52.0* She always looks so put together and pretty. Love her clothes. Alex and Mike are awesome too! Alex is adorable. Love her personality. ### 5/5 — T mm h CD *2024-05-20, version 5.52.0* Sk @/ Ok Sg’s w CC c docs czs. 8 Zz 6 Hr S w was a ant bar.

Keep Sue, she’s the best! ### 5/5 — Good *2022-03-10, version 5.31.0* I love this app ### 5/5 — Hi *2022-03-03, version 5.30.0* Happy ### 5/5 — Fox 29 *2022-01-13, version 5.29.5* This is my Favorite News Station. I enjoy waking up and watching Mike and Alex.They have good chemistry. When one is out, it’s not the same. They go together like peanut butter and jelly. They’re my favorites but I like the other guys too. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
