This app needs that capability for Live Video. No one wants to watch on a small phone screen when a TV is available. ### 2/5 — Love the Content *2024-08-15, version 5.52.0* I love Fox 9 news but this version has too much going on for me graphically. I find it hard to scan through. It is better on a tablet however I use my phone more often. ### 2/5 — Needs ability to customize notifications *2024-08-02, version 5.52.0* I finally tuned off all notifications from this app because I do not care for the constant live video/sports notifications. ### 2/5 — Always Freezing *2024-07-25, version 5.52.0* This app stops & starts so many times!!! I almost don’t even want to use it anymore! ### 3/5 — Ads *2024-05-10, version 5.52.0* Please please do not repeat same ads over and over within the same program let alone the same break. Most of the ads are so annoying, I mute the tv. I live rural so only way to watch news. ### 4/5 — Mix up the ads please. *2024-04-30* I get it, ads need to be shown for this to be a thing. But please try to put different ads rather than run the same thing 4 times over and over. I just got done watching the same ad 4 times in a row for Park Center Health and Fitness. I really appreciate this being made free so we can get our local news without having to pay for cable but the same ad four times in a row is annoying. ### 4/5 — Fox9 *2023-12-11, version 5.50.0* Nice to watch Fox9 news ! It would be nice if u could change the streaming during the commercial breaks tired of the puppies and kittys ### 3/5 — Rarely the first with news posted *2023-07-30* This actually is better than the other local news channel apps. However, sometimes I wonder if it’s just the intern doing it… No offense… The news tends to be not be updated as often as it should be. For example, there is an article about yesterdays weather still on there today And that seems to happen quite often. It needs to be more timely. the “back to school”heading hasn’t changed for months to the point it’s so irritating I would delete the app if I had better option! plz update ### 4/5 — From Bemidji *2023-06-26, version 5.45.0* Can’t cast to tv ### 4/5 — Notifications *2023-06-18, version 5.45.0* I have turned the notification button off twice now and it turns back on by itself. Please look into that. Thank you, Tom ### 3/5 — Recent update *2023-06-13, version 5.45.0* App keeps turning on my notifications after I disable notifications. Fix. If I want notifications I’ll will turn that option on. ### 2/5 — Stories won’t load *2023-06-05, version 5.45.0* After all the updates stores pull up but only 25-50% of the story will load and be seen. The more you scroll is just a blank page. ### 1/5 — Adds are annoying and buggy! Half stories rest blank *2023-06-02, version 5.44.0* Adds are annoying and buggy! They don’t update their stories that often and typically have several grammatical errors. Currently the app is only displaying half the article and the rest of the page is completely blank 🤷🏻‍♂️. ### 1/5 — What happened?? *2023-05-11, version 5.44.0* The app worked perfectly and now that it’s updated I can’t get the past and future to work on the map, it just keeps glitching. It’s very frustrating when I work construction and have relied on this app for years and now it won’t work…. The update is junk and has been for a month or two now. Needs to be fixed ### 1/5 — Fox9 app *2023-04-10, version 5.42.5* Horrible app can’t cast to television like other apps ### 3/5 — No live stream on app *2023-02-21, version 5.42.0* Why can’t I get live fox 9 anymore ### 1/5 — Where’s local broadcast? *2023-02-18, version 5.42.0* What happened? Did we loose the local news? Very disappointed the app doesn’t play the local news. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Very biased *2024-09-21, version 5.52.0* Very biased news. It’s unfortunate there isn’t a local news source (that I’m aware of) that doesn’t input their own political bias. ### 1/5 — Bias channel *2024-08-09, version 5.52.0* Very pro democrat news. Very biased against republicans. ### 1/5 — Partisan *2024-08-07, version 5.52.0* Everyday there are articles about the Dems but if anything is about the Republicans then it is NEGATIVE! Trump is correct calling mainstream media “fake news”! ### 1/5 — Sinking Fast *2024-07-02* They must use other Twin City news sources for their content. Same stories, written nearly the same. Severe lack of actual "news", but more than enough "tabloid" trash. They repeat daily content for several days. Personally, once I've read it, I don't need to read it again. Poor follow-up and little updates. The GOOD side is that it only takes 1-2 minutes each morning and you can move on to more worthwhile sources and not have to waste time here! ### 1/5 — How to get out of your Ap??! *2024-06-19, version 5.52.0* Doesn’t allow to terminate your weather/news Ap! I am done, how do I exit!!???? ### 1/5 — If you want promised sports this is trash. *2024-05-24, version 5.52.0* Wanted to watch Minnesota Aurora. Fox 9 has the broadcast right. They don’t even mention it. Smh. ### 1/5 — Useless junk *2024-02-19, version 5.51.0* Who needs news all day? Nobody. Deleted this app quickly. Not. Taking up valuable space on my phone for something so pointless. Zero stars ### 1/5 — What is up with the unsolicited drum noise? *2023-12-02, version 5.49.0* Every time I open the app this annoying drumming music plays and it wont stop! ### 1/5 — No nfl on! *2023-10-29, version 5.49.0* F the nfl , they are cry babies can watch any games on the app ### 1/5 — Viking fan disappointed *2023-08-20, version 5.47.0* I get a server error when trying to watch the live stream of the Vikings ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fox *2024-08-17* Fox please Pay for all every week pay for the whole season the Vikings game so it’s always on the Fox network for the rest of this whole season permanent constantly watched the Vikings find a way to get access to all the networks for every single week and every single week it’s playing so that people can watch it permanently and it will be every single week that everyone can watch it and it will only be in the Fox network for rest of the whole 2024 and please do that and pay for to get access to it and please find a way to do that 100% and do it in 2025 and 2026 ### 5/5 — About the xfinity flex streaming *2023-11-02, version 5.49.0* I would like to see fox 9 news st.paul Minneapolis news to be added on I see channel Kstp 5 news st.paul minneapolis and Kare 11 on here but not your news channel yet to be put on Roku streaming love to watch fox 9 news and weather but do not have it on Roku streaming from Kristina hope to see Ian Lenard soon for special Olympics ### 5/5 — Love It!!! *2023-02-08, version 5.41.0* I absolutely love this app!! no lagging the only thing is ads ### 5/5 — Lm Ill wbe wa my *2022-06-07, version 5.33.0* I l p Mn mml a z m W we are both Mn is a w is w m you M l I ### 5/5 — Love it *2022-05-17, version 5.32.0* I love this app! ### 5/5 — Fox News is honest accurate no fake news also heart warming ancohers *2021-11-23, version 5.28.0* Greatest news and honesTwatch love it always ### 5/5 — ***** rating. *2019-08-27, version 4.3.5201* Always first with most updated stories.
