I checked their site & didn’t see a contact for app support, so unfortunately this was my only recourse. ### 4/5 — Love the app, not the update. *2023-11-28, version 5.50.0* I just updated my app, and now every time I open it up, it has some “war music” playing in the background. Not sure if the update included “advertisement sounds”, but it gets a bit annoying. Maybe they will fix it with the new update. Thanks FOX4! ### 2/5 — TRASH *2023-10-24, version 5.49.0* I’ve never seen a news source update SO slowly, especially for breaking news whether is be locally or nationally. Not sure if it’s a reflection of the app or the news source itself but i switched to WFAA. A millions ADs on the page but no UPDATED news or current events . ### 2/5 — Slow to update missing key stories *2023-10-08, version 5.48.0* How is it this app focuses on trivial “news” like Taylor Swift being at a football game, and not Israel being attacked? User friendly app just not what I feel is important to be reporting on. ### 2/5 — It doesn't refresh so I never know what's the latest news *2023-08-12, version 5.47.0* I don't know if it is a setting but I couldn't find anything related to refreshing the app ### 1/5 — Barbie movie *2023-07-24, version 5.47.0* This movie is certainly not for children. Spending money on this movie makes one question their own intelligence. Terrible movue. ### 1/5 — Constant ads *2023-07-15, version 5.46.0* I hate clicking on some items because I know I’m forced to listen to the long ads. Please do better ### 1/5 — Trending Articles Need Updated *2023-05-16, version 5.44.0* The same four articles have been trending since March. It’s now May. Please update them or remove the section. ### 3/5 — Articles take a long time to download *2023-04-17, version 5.42.5* Have to wait a long time for certain articles to download on iPad. Sometimes they don’t download at all. ### 1/5 — recent update gone wrong *2023-02-21, version 5.42.0* I’ve never had issues with FOX 4 app watching the DFW news. But as of the last four days, I am unable to view any live feed from the fox for Dallas studio. All of it is national news. Watch Orlando news on DFW live link. please fix this issue. If there’s a weather emergency, many people don’t have cable or access to regular TV. This is the only way I’m able to watch television without having an antenna. ### 2/5 — Boo *2023-02-20, version 5.41.0* I don’t like that I can’t watch a replay of the latest fox4 news it always goes to live instead. Fix it ### 2/5 — Live News *2023-02-20, version 5.42.0* When you try to watch the news live it takes you to the FOX News channel instead of the local news. ### 1/5 — Problems with the app *2023-02-17, version 5.42.0* I am trying to watch Good Day at 5:00 am but some unimportant Fox News report of something uninteresting. I watch Good Day this early for the traffic and the weather and i did not get that this morning. ### 2/5 — Not fully functional. Can’t easily to delete news items *2022-12-24, version 5.40.5* I have not found the method to discard news item within the presentation in the weather app. ### 4/5 — Picture and picture *2022-12-21* I enjoy being able to watch the local news from my iPhone. You all should update the app so it has picture and picture abilities. I’m a local trucker and I listen to the news to start my day out. All the other apps allow me to minimize the picture so that I’m able to use my gps as well. Right now the app cuts the video off if I close the app. ### 2/5 — Never up to date *2022-11-05, version 5.39.0* They don’t seem to update the stories in the app in a timely manner. Or maybe it’s just the weekends, but regardless it’s 2022 and keeping up to date news shouldn’t be that difficult. ### 1/5 — Not working *2022-10-28, version 5.38.0* Site won’t open ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2024-10-23, version 5.52.0* Your liberal dallas bias is obvious. ### 1/5 — WAPP is very inaccurate *2024-08-28, version 5.52.0* Compared to other radar apps, your app constantly does not reflect reality We are switching to other apps due to your poor quality and accuracy ### 1/5 — THIS Fox App is a joke *2024-06-14, version 5.52.0* “Fair and balanced” ???…. The App keeps saying FAR LEFT is right / all conservative values are wrong & that’s hat…. SCREW THAT !!! Rename the App to “Joke Fox NOT”… ### 1/5 — No to tracking *2024-05-16, version 5.52.0* They now want to track you to “keep it free” as if they don’t make enough being owned by fox. Zero chance I’m going to let them track me to look at their app. Been using it for over a decade but hit no and deleted it right then. Never again. Hard triple pass. ### 1/5 — Does not provide updated news items *2024-03-23* Especially the sports section: articles are several days old. Very few up to date items and certainly little or no breaking news reports. News lead stories are also several days old in many cases. It also appears that no one has responsibility to update articles when the situation progresses. Focus seems to be more in pushing advertising than reporting current news. Sorry. But that is my opinion. ### 1/5 — Does not provide updated news items *2024-03-10* Especially the sports section: articles are several days old. Very few up to date items and certainly little or no breaking news reports. News lead stories are also several days old in many cases. It also appears that no one has responsibility to update articles when the situation progresses. Focus seems to be more in pushing advertising than reporting current news. Sorry.

Very few up to date items and certainly little or no breaking news reports. News lead stories are also several days old in many cases. It also appears that no one has responsibility to update articles when the situation progresses. Focus seems to be more in pushing advertising than reporting current news. Sorry. But that is my opinion. ### 1/5 — News *2023-11-11, version 5.49.0* News is never updated. Old news and repetitive old news. ### 1/5 — Online Comments *2023-09-10, version 5.48.0* What is the reason Fox4 News will no longer accept comments online? Fox4 has become another NBC/CNN copycat. Why not support or abide by your mother station Fox News? ### 1/5 — Very poorly designed app *2023-07-29, version 5.47.0* This app is so difficult to navigate I just change the channel to another DFW affiliate. Do better! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Clear search history *2025-01-01, version 5.52.0* I want to be able to clear my search history on this app but I can’t do that please add this feature to the app ### 5/5 — Channel 4 *2022-09-17, version 5.36.0* Better news station👍🏻👍🏻🙏 But stop getting new faces all time w/news, weather girls are great! ### 5/5 — Fox 4 News App *2022-07-27, version 5.34.0* New version is faster, bolder and easier to navigate. Rock on! ### 5/5 — Grass Fire in Wise County *2022-07-20, version 5.34.0* 500 acres fire near Bridgeport and Lake Bridgeport. Multiple fire departments involved. ### 5/5 — Typo *2021-09-23, version 5.27.0* Chyron had spelling error tonight! ### 5/5 — Yatzy *2021-07-26, version 5.26.5* @ ### 5/5 — Tornado coverage *2019-10-21* Thank you Fox 4 for streaming on your app during storms! I was in Utah while my family was ducking for cover during a tornado warning and was able to watch live coverage and see what was happening as it happened! I could not do that with any other Dallas station. Please add the streaming option to Roku, Xbox and other options so I can stay in touch with my home while traveling! ### 5/5 — New Format *2019-09-15, version 5.6.1* I like the layout of your new app. CBS could learn from your example. It is nice to be able just to scroll down on the opening page to get a great news overview. ### 5/5 — Fox 4 News *2019-08-24* I’ve lived here in Dallas for over 40 years. Fox 4 News is my favorite local news source. They just get done right. I prefer my news without the slant or hidden agendas. Direct and to the point is what I like and this is what I find on Fox 4 News. To that I thank you all for your coverage of local news and sports. Yes, I am a die hard Dallas Cowboys fan. ### 5/5 — Right of center *2019-07-22, version 4.3.5203* One of the most balanced news sources available at present. Tends to be somewhat more sensational than Wall Street Journal, but also has a wide variety of coverage and topics. Much more likely to get both sides of an issue than with CNN or MSNBC, ABC, CBS. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
