Steve

I was watching the 10 o’clock show - I have never felt so old “ you said when you was young the subject was called posers . When I was young we called it roll play or theater period. I love social media. I have been on online longer than my grown children. The one part she was explaining was like having a book and a coffee, and you don’t read. My generation call that attention seeker isn’t it all the same thing?Sharon Poff

Bears game

I live in Chicago and I can’t watch the Bears game

Minimizing full screen nightmare

When minimizing the screen to do other things, returning to a full screen requires a restart of the app. 😮‍💨

Newer update stinks

Why on earth would you start putting other fox 2 stations in feed? I downloaded Detroit. Give me Detroit and surrounding areas. Not Orlando. Not Los Angeles. I couldn’t care less Kim K had a break in. I could’ve read that on yahoo.

Let’s be first and sensationalise

Attention to detail is lacking
An app is only as good as its content

Can’t read the school closings
Just comes up blank

Headline says video shows…..
And as typical to be first with nothing there is no video. The video is referenced and says see above but alas no video exists
But they were probably first to say it

But let’s not bother to proofread.
Poorly written articles. Missing words in articles. Missing spaces.

Guess it just falls under yellow journalism and not really in the public’s interest. Slanted to fit a narrative

Articles seem to be missing lots of detail for what they are writing about.
The app fails to have a way to provide any feedback other than a contract us that they just ignore just like this feedback

Another bad update

I only want LOCAL news from Florida, not news from around the country. After all, the app is called FOX LOCAL.

My name is Desiree

Can you send my alerts to my Fox Local app please🥺😿😖😭😢😔💔makes me feel sad heartbroken now

Poor Writing

The latest upgrade has made the story images huge. They take up the entire screen on my tablet. There's no need for that.

The stories are poorly written, often repeating the same information throughout. I hope the stories are AI generated because I find it hard to believe a human could do that bad of a job.

Old news

News is not updated, old news. Some articles stay up forever. Good that it’s free. Not a fan of recent format change but doesn’t really matter because it’s old news. No international news, no sports

No Alerts…

Notifications are no longer working. It was much better when it was an app just for my city.

The Race

I’m wondering if you see israel in your dreams also? Go Abdul!!!! We did this for him and to go against the establishment….

Stale

Same stories will run for days. These aren’t updated, they’re just repeated. Terrible “local” new coverage.

This app needs a lot more local Fox affiliates!

While I am enjoying the Fox Local app, it does not offer enough local stations for this app. Even the closest stations to me are so far away from where I live and their news is irrelevant me.

How do I turn off personalization pop-ups?

How can I disable the “Personalize FOX LOCAL” pop-ups at the bottom of the app? They’re annoying.

Won’t open

I get a oops something is wrong messages

No Alerts

Notifications are no longer working. It was much better when it was an app just for my city.

Always Old News

I’m thinking the app itself is okay but the news is old. FOX Local does not update the news. Stories are sometimes as much as two weeks old. Inside the news stories the stories are one paragraph repeated three to four times to make it a long story. Reading the first paragraph gives you everything about the story. The remaining paragraphs are repetitive of the first paragraph. They’re also very biased. Go elsewhere for good news.

Freeze

Often, the app will simply freeze after opening and operating for 30 seconds or so.

It does work if you close and reopen. But the is inconvenient

Locks up

No issues until this week. Loved the app. Now doesn’t work. Freezes while scrolling through the articles.

Won’t open

The app won’t open. The fox local splash screen displays but nothing else.
