You give them an undue platform. ### 3/5 — Dew Point missing on Fox32 Chicago weather app *2024-06-07, version 5.52.0* In the recent weather app update the dew point is missing, now it shows the humidity percentage. I hope they put the dew point back on. ### 3/5 — It works *2023-06-18, version 5.45.0* Can’t turn off notifications ### 3/5 — Wish Fox 32 had smart tv app *2023-05-04, version 5.44.0* This app is necessary to watch Fox 32 ### 2/5 — No local streaming news *2023-02-20, version 5.42.0* Suddenly the Chicago broadcast is no longer streaming, only Fox Live. I watch to mirror my local broadcast. Until this is fixed, I’m moving to a different station. Very disappointed! ### 4/5 — Alerts *2022-11-01* Thank you for severe weather alerts …However I Do Not need an alarming alert notification when you’re telling me about current magnificent Chicago weather!

If you missed it and wanted to watching from the beginning, forget it. Also, when they say “ for more info go to our App, forget it. Try doing a search of the morning news topics like a cooking recipe or job search info and the search will give items that are 2-5 years old. Try to narrow it down by date and then you get NOTHING. ### 2/5 — Cannot watch live! *2021-08-11, version 5.26.5* Love the station but doesn’t work on the cell during violent weather. I deleted and reinstalled…no change. Love the weathermen on this channel! ### 2/5 — Marilyn Morris LCSW *2021-05-03, version 5.25.0* Your app is very poor in my opinion. It repeats all the information at least twice. What is the point of that? ### 2/5 — Instapoll *2021-04-23, version 5.24.0* Does not work even after download install many times. Insta poll just does not work!! ### 1/5 — YOUR APP IS HAVING TROUBLE LOADING TOO IPHONES *2020-11-20, version 5.19.2* YOUR APP IS HAVING TROUBLE LOADING TOO IPHONES ( please check your app or reboot it!!!

All the other networks have one./ ### 1/5 — Nothing to do with Chicago *2020-07-22, version 5.16.0* The news has nothing to do with Chicago and one time I saw an article about Tampa Florida. I tried re downloading the app and it only got worse. The text was to small and it wouldn’t fully load there was also a lot of adds ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Local News issues *2024-05-28, version 5.52.0* Why does local news section always shows the same story multiple times? Sometimes consecutively. ### 1/5 — Tracking *2024-05-16, version 5.52.0* Just got FORCED to allow tracking. Either allow or can’t continue. Says you can change in settings anytime. Suuuuuure you can.

There is still old news on the app that is not taken off and not relevant ### 1/5 — Works for about a week *2022-01-09, version 5.29.0* Works as it is supposed to for a week, then it sits there and looks at you, and never opens. ### 1/5 — It’s a crap shoot *2021-12-17, version 5.29.0* At least 25% of the time the links don’t match the headlines when you click on a video. Fox really needs to up their production values. ### 1/5 — 32 app bad *2021-11-19, version 5.28.0* The app does not work most of the time. The developers should look at it and not just see if they can squeeze in more ads ### 1/5 — Not loading *2021-11-19, version 5.28.0* Not loading news feed ### 1/5 — Weather alerts very misleading *2021-10-05, version 5.27.0* I use the app for weather information and alerts. The only alerts I want is for severe weather not something like “it is going to be warm today”. About ready to turn off alert notifications and start using a different tv channel app ### 1/5 — Fox 32 *2021-08-28, version 5.26.9* Way too many ads.
