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.

Local News Whenever

I love being able to watch news from back home when I am on the road. The APP works as advertised.

Go4 itttt

This app is good for wherever you are especially if you’re home sick

Needs a fix

I have no issue with the news side of things, I’m able to watch or read things with no issues at this time BUT… the weather side has a big flaw. When trying to check the radar, it does not resize from the small radar icon when opening it. I’m not sure if it’s a FOX29 feed issue or for all local stations nationwide. You cannot see anything on it due to this and that’s a huge oversight or a coding issue that needs to be fixed asap.

Outstanding

Continue to enjoy and appreciate that I can get our local news whenever and wherever we are. Enjoy the continual professionalism from the entire team!

It Is A Great App

It’s A Great App

Fantastic

iPhone 14 Pro Max user and the app is smooth as silk, just like my morning coffee! App rides along with me on my morning commute which is an hour long and even in the crappiest of towns where cell towers are non existent it plays on!! Love my Fox Atlanta

Fox 13 is always there

I love being kept updated on local news and weather . I feel like I am part of your family. Your coverage is thorough and informative and it keeps me updated on our community. All your anchors feel like family to me.

Weather good, traffic bad

The weather side of the app work great, it follows wherever you go. The traffic side go to eden Prairie and doesn’t follow, plus there is no recenter button. It use to be able to follow for traffic once you pressed follow on the weather side.

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
