The ads repeat before you can watch ANYTHING!! ### 3/5 — Getting better *2026-03-28, version 8.0.2* App is better but won’t allow me to share store within app. Please check. ### 2/5 — Not user friendly *2026-03-07, version 8.0.1* It will not clear out pending notifications (red dot) ### 2/5 — Site RUINED by pop up games! *2026-01-04, version 7.0.14* Why do you all allow all those STUPID pop up games when you are trying to get news headlines? You have RUINED an app I USE TO USE ALL THE TIME! ### 1/5 — Wheel of Fortune *2025-12-05, version 7.0.14* Commercials are wrong considering the commercials ran before the game was over. Never heard what the outcome was. Poor outcome was. ### 1/5 — Had enough *2025-09-19, version 7.0.14* Opened it to have another obnoxious, glaring ad in my face. Deleted. ### 1/5 — News *2025-08-23, version 7.0.14* Nothing but commercials. Ads. Terrible. ### 1/5 — app *2025-05-01, version 7.0.14* Need to be updated mine won’t open up any more ### 1/5 — No Lawyers *2025-03-23, version 7.0.14* Don’t like pops ### 1/5 — Getting worse not better! *2025-01-25, version 7.0.14* Every time you open a story some stupid commercial starts playing loudly. The most aggravating stupidity for any app. I promise if you Do not correct this , no one will be opening your app. ### 2/5 — Never updated *2025-01-12, version 7.0.14* Please update stories more often. Same old things ### 4/5 — Annoyed at functionality and ads *2025-01-09, version 7.0.14* I’ve download this app on my Apple TV and it plays mostly ads over and over again, and mostly grotesque, ambulance chasing attorneys ads, not the news I’ve tuned in for. It also seems to freeze every so often on an ad and needs to be closed and relaunched to go back to the news broadcast. Both my app and Apple TV are operating on the most up to date versions available. I’m likely to remove the app if this doesn’t improve soon. It’s a frustrating way to start my day, when I’m just trying to get the info I need to go about my day. ### 1/5 — 8 News will not open *2024-11-24, version 7.0.13* Will not open ### 1/5 — Media misinformation. *2024-11-18, version 7.0.13* Legacy media lies. When will you learn? ### 1/5 — Offensive to me *2024-10-22, version 7.0.12* Stop putting swift on as much as yall are! She offensive to me from where she came from to what she is now!!!!🤮 ### 1/5 — Can’t open the news articles *2024-09-06, version 7.0.12* I get the alert but when I click on the story is doesn’t open. Frustrating! Deleting the app :) ### 1/5 — Weather notification was positioned where lighting was and not seesherelocation!!? *2024-08-14, version 7.0.12* Not good too much monkey business like the zOLD system!!! ### 1/5 — Used to be good, not anymore. *2024-06-28, version 7.0.12* Too biased for me now. I’m looking for news not opinions. Bye. ### 1/5 — Commercials with a little NEWS splashed in *2024-06-19, version 7.0.12* The amount of commercials is ridiculous! ### 2/5 — Actual news is difficult to find *2024-03-18, version 7.0.12* Plenty of nearly worthless video clips, sports new and weather. Actual current hard news is difficult to find and not posted front and center. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Never know if its a video or story anymore *2026-07-28, version 8.0.7* Looking at the top stories you never know if its just a video that you need to watch a long ad for or if the story is below. Put videos in the video section and stories in the top news. Not hard. Also way too long for the ad and have to click on the top corner. Not a fan. ### 1/5 — Alerts? *2026-07-07, version 8.0.6* Why do I get all these alerts when I never asked for them? ### 1/5 — Worst App Ever *2026-06-19, version 8.0.6* I can’t get any weather information from this app. There is NOTHING more important than local weather. It makes no sense for me to have this app. ### 1/5 — Fox8 RUINED This App *2026-06-03, version 8.0.4* You can’t watch Fox 8 News while doing other things on your phone. This app is now RUINED. This is very inconsiderate. This will hurt the app usage rate I promise. ### 1/5 — Welcome back Shelby *2026-03-22, version 8.0.2* Great to see Shelby back. Want to see her back on the weather but enjoy her wherever she’s happy. ### 1/5 — Ghost text *2026-03-16, version 8.0.2* I have a ghost text that I can’t get rid of when I downloaded the new app on my iPhone 16 Did everything they said to try to do to get rid of it. None of it works. I turned my phone off. I booted it back up I tried everything they said to do when I googled to see what to do and none of it worked I just can’t get rid of it. ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-03-12, version 8.0.2* Annoying ad everytime you open app ### 1/5 — Hate the new app *2026-03-11, version 8.0.2* Had a very difficult to find my way around plus it always shows. I have a message even when I cleared them. ### 1/5 — New app *2026-03-07, version 8.0.1* Alert won’t disappear after opening and closing app ### 1/5 — app *2026-03-07, version 8.0.1* I don’t like the new update very confusing. Can’t find what I’m looking for when I I’ll try to open one up it Also after I read an alert, it alert doesn’t go away. It shows I still have one alert, left. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Welcome back Shelby *2023-08-29, version 7.0.9* Great to see Shelby back. Want to see her back on the weather but enjoy her wherever she’s happy. ### 5/5 — Awesome News Channel *2023-07-12, version 7.0.8* You all Rock & Look great on Fox 8 news! Thank you & God Bless you all! ### 5/5 — News *2023-02-26, version 7.0.4* Best news station ever.The only one I watch ### 5/5 — Fox 8 app *2022-07-20, version 6.7.10* I’m not a big fan of the new fox8 app. It’s not like the old app where you can get on and go straight to the news . Instead now they have advertisements playing when we should be able to get the news not random advertisements. ### 5/5 — No more channel 8 news for me! *2022-06-14, version 6.7.9* After decades of loyalty to channel 8 news, weather and sports, I sadly have chosen to move on to other news, weather and sports sources who do not interject false political accusations of our previous president and very little about our current most incompetent president of all times. This is a local news channel , not a George Soros propaganda source. I will miss the great weather crew most of all. ### 5/5 — Professionals *2022-05-31, version 6.7.9* The cast of news anchors is amazing at their jobs. I Look forward to seeing the funny aspect of the broadcast and the serious portion of the news daily. I appreciate all of the news personnel in front of the camera and behind the scenes. Thank you all. ### 5/5 — Fox 8 Weather App *2021-11-19* When Will The New Fox 8 app Be Out they Said On The News Today That They Have A New App Out I just updated this app this morning And Every time I open it this App goes off can somebody please help me I like this App I like to read the News it might still have A Bug ### 5/5 — FOX 8 *2021-09-01, version 6.7.2* Best for local New Orleans news and happenings. ### 5/5 — Can’t get app to open *2021-07-01* Ever since this app changed formats I cannot get it to open… I get alerts but can’t open the app to read any articles.. This version is horrible . Also I couldn’t post this review with one star, had to put 5 to post SMH ### 5/5 — Best Live News & Weather Apps *2021-04-16* I have tried other news apps but FoxLive news & weather apps are the best of them all.
