### 3/5 — Can’t find stories

*2025-01-17, version 5.52.0*

I get alerts on my phone. If I don’t click on them at the time, I can’t find the story when I go to the app and look at top stories.

### 3/5 — The F3 five app is July 5

*2024-07-06, version 5.52.0*

Something is wrong with that the app.

### 2/5 — No way to navigate to daily contest!

*2024-05-14, version 5.52.0*

I'm tech savvy but there's not a pace to enter todays contest for a 65" tv. It should be a menu item but it's not.

### 2/5 — Over and over and over and over and over

*2023-01-24*

First. Site continues to repeat stories that were newsworthy weeks ago but certainly are not now. 

Second. Space for the same story provided two, three & sometimes four times on the same day provides no additional value. 

The worth of a story source is not measured by duplication or repetition of stories but by timeliness, accuracy, and story-worthiness. 

If there is an explanation for the repetition of stories, then management should consider the value of implications of providing space for news to support and uplift our community.

### 2/5 — Repeat and old

*2022-11-26, version 5.39.0*

I like the idea of a local and brief news app.  The problem is typically a story is repeated 2-4 times on the page. Also, some of the stories stay for a handful of weeks. 
If you’re going to have a news app, please keep it current.

### 2/5 — Still publishing fake news

*2022-09-09, version 5.36.0*

I want to like Fox, but they keep publishing fake news that insist there’s no evidence of election irregularities. There is irrefutable evidence that has been made public. They look foolish to keep publishing articles that deny it. Stop with the hidden agenda and start reporting truth.

### 3/5 — Repeating News that may not be needed

*2021-11-04*

It’s nice to get some alerts on news but while working you do not need every Covid-19 vac updates and so on.. I also get multiple alerts for the same story throughout the day.. given some news is important to some and not to others and that some of us hold jobs that every distraction may interfere with the importance and intense responsibilities we may have it is important for them to make a filter going forward that allows us all to select the kind of story’s that are needed/wanted and to mute or not send the others..
It almost becomes overwhelming now a days and without a filter maybe it’s best to just wait to find out after work..

### 2/5 — Doesn’t Even Open

*2021-10-09, version 5.28.0*

Most of the time this app won’t open and IF it does its spotty.
Not worth trying anymore.

### 4/5 — Beat in Orlando

*2021-09-25, version 5.27.0*

Delivers the best up to date news in the area with commercial free video news. The one I choose to go to every morning.

### 2/5 — Notification Banner Issue

*2021-08-24*

Whenever a notification banner is received, clicking on that banner takes the user to a different place within the app; never to the story that the notification was about. From there, it is next to impossible to locate the story that the notification was about.

### 2/5 — Good internet but LIVE news buffers

*2021-05-20*

Live news runs great for about 30-40 min and then starts buffering for several minutes. This causes me to lose weather and the end or beginning of other stories. Also, ads seem to take precedence over news, cutting into news presentations time.

### 2/5 — Headline notification clickbait = delete

*2021-03-31, version 5.24.0*

About 50% of the time I see a headline worth clicking, the app opens to the home page and the headline is nowhere to be found.  Usually it’s COVID related.  Deleting.

### 1/5 — Sell out news station

*2021-01-07, version 5.21.0*

The definition of yellow journalism.

### 1/5 — Fox is dead

*2020-11-08, version 5.19.2*

Goodbye Fox. Dead news walking

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — This channel stinks.

*2025-01-07*

They keep news anchors that clearly don’t know how to operate the equipment.  I’m constantly turn up or down my volume every time there is a transition while said anchor is on air.  He thinks he’s doing a good job but really just killing everyone’s tv slowly.  There is no place on the app to express concerns so I dumped it here.  Fire Garret.  He needs more AV News Broadcasting training.  The levels are just horrendous.  Get it together.

### 1/5 — Ocala area

*2024-10-10, version 5.52.0*

Not so happy with the coverage in the Ocala area. Is there a news station that gives better information in the Marion county area. We get maybe a 3 min segment but no real information. 
Please help

### 1/5 — Contests

*2023-12-12, version 5.50.0*

Why do you make it so difficult to find & play ???

### 1/5 — 90% Ads, 10% News

*2023-09-27, version 5.48.0*

Typical of the greedy news industry these days, but sad that Fox succumbed to the same model. Bye

### 1/5 — Biased news

*2023-06-13, version 5.45.0*

Nothing but anti Trump and anti DeSantis news. NEVER cover stories regarding democrats, including the $5M bribe that Biden received. Deleting the app after I hit send.

### 1/5 — Goodby

*2023-04-26, version 5.42.5*

In memory of Tucker you can delete my account

### 1/5 — CONTEST EXPIRED IN FEB?????

*2022-03-30, version 5.31.5*

Really!!!  This is March, why lie???

### 1/5 — App not loading since last update

*2021-12-07, version 5.29.5*

Well some this most recent update the app won’t load.

### 1/5 — Search?

*2021-11-04, version 5.28.0*

Needs a search option

### 1/5 — Too many “Station Alerts”

*2021-04-07, version 5.24.0*

Stop sending out meaningless station alerts. It’s to the point that you’re “crying wolf “ and now if there actually is an important “alert” it will go ignored.
