Select a TV show like “The Simpsons”. 2. Try to swipe up to see some of the episodes: *important* begin your swipe on the “Set Reminder” button or the “Clips & Extras” button. Result: Nothing happens. The page doesn’t scroll unless you carefully avoid swiping over the buttons on the page. Try swiping in another app where buttons are present—scrolling should result regardless of where you begin a swipe gesture. Please allow scrollviews to scroll when beginning a swipe gesture over a button. This can be accomplished in different ways depending on where the button and intermediate views are in the scrollview’s hierarchy. Google “UIScrollView UIButton cannot scroll” for some ideas for your situation. HTH. Fixing this will help your users not feel dumb—they will feel like your app responds to them instead of being “temperamental”, getting in the way of watching the content they paid for. Thank you for your consideration. ### 1/5 — FOXNOW needs tech support *2022-04-12, version 3.48.5* I use FOxNow so it can view FNC programming live & also later; FN works ok on my slow internet connection. I find it really hard to navigate , hard to play the program I want, when replaying a program it is difficult to go back or forward the buttons don’t always appear and there is no tech support to help; there is no directions to help; I have tried text chat for text Support there is no phone number for tech support I’ve emailed tech support . generally I don’t get an answer or I get someone who has no ability to help me. After a program is broadcast live it does not show up on the menu to view again until the next day or many hours later. It would be nice if they provided telephone tech support or at least detailed instructions on how to use the application. Not having cable; not having a television; only using a slow Internet connection with an iPad fox now is cheaper than anything else but other than that I would not recommend it. ### 1/5 — Was good a one point… *2021-10-07, version 3.45* I’ve had this app for a month or two. When I first downloaded the app it worked fine! I could sign in easy, live news streams loaded fast, and even streaming to my chrome cast via iPhone worked 9.5 times out of 10. In the past week or so they’ve had two updates and have completely killed my love for the app. Now when I stream to my TV it buffers during ever commercial break. I have to restart the app and everything about 5times to watch 1hour of news. The Bally sports app wasn’t even this bad when it launched (and I thought that app was and still is a mess). Update: This app has somehow gotten worse. I can’t watch a full baseball game without having to disconnect from my chromecast, exiting, then restarting the app. The buffering is terrible, and at one point the game just went to commercial in the middle of a play… NBC, CBS, and ESPN all have way better app quality than this joke. ### 3/5 — If you have IT knowledge don’t contact support *2021-05-05, version 3.39.1* I know this is a weird review but I found a bug in the app on my TV and reached out to tech support. When trying their methods of troubleshooting and getting nowhere I branched out and tried something they didn’t suggest and found a workaround to my issue. When I tried to tell them the steps I took just to spread knowledge in case someone else has a similar experience; and ultimately to make a better customer experience they ended the chat suddenly. The feedback link provided was also corrupt so I wasn’t able to leave this there. Overall the app is okay with a few issues but there’s workarounds. Customer service on the other hand from tech support could use significant boosting. ### 1/5 — Fox now app rude customer service *2021-02-05, version 3.36* After talking to my tv provider and to the fox now app support I still have no use for my fox now app. Fox now app customer service was so rude both times I was basically hung up on because I wouldn’t agree that the app not working wasn’t their fault. They obviously have a bug in their app that needs to fixed so dish network people who pay for the use of the app can actually use it. And yes I did call and confirm not once but twice with dish that the fox now app should work and I should have all access because they receive their money so we could use the service. Dish can not fix a bug that is not their app issue. Dish network was polite and listen and was helpful. They were not jerks who blamed everyone else for their stupid app bug. Try to be courteous to people and don’t hang up on them just because a woman knows when there is a flaw in your app. Fox now app customer service stinks be glad no one answered when you called. ### 2/5 — Buffers/Freezing *2020-11-15, version 3.33.1* I only redownloaded this app to binge watch The Masked Singer and it buffers and freezes all the time. I have it downloaded to my Xbox One and it’s ALWAYS connected to the wireless no my phone data, and can’t even use it on my iPhone or iPad with or without the wireless, they won’t even open without the spinning circle and doesn’t load. I can only watch 20-25 min of the show with out issues and then it’s every few minutes that it will freeze and then right near the end, it does it every few seconds. Not to mention with the commercials, they freeze as well, and when I get to the end where I want to read the clue at the bottoms of the screen or go back cuz I missed something, you can’t, because it’ll only show the play/pause button and “ad” written inside a circle. This app has so many issues and reading the reviews it seems like they’ve been around for quite awhile. Someone needs fix these issues. This is why I deleted the app before nearly a year or so ago, but forgot when I decided to binge this show, which I can’t find anywhere else. It’s ridiculous. I shouldn’t have to reboot my Xbox every 30 minutes to watch a 40 minute show. ### 1/5 — This app is trash *2020-02-10, version 3.24.1* On xbox1, while entering my information from my cable subscription. This app would not accept the number 9. Seriously, it wouldn’t take the number 9 in my password. I checked another app that uses the same information and had no problems. I went to Fox support via the chat feature. I was told it was a known issue and to use a different device. No idea of a target date for a fix and a rufe agent to boot. So I set it up on my smart tv. No problem except for every 10-15 minutes I get an error saying there are too many devices streaming? You then have to go all the way back to the main page and choose to resume or restart the episode. When you resume you are set to the commercials (all of them) before you restart. This app is garbage. Go to the HBO or Showtime apps to see how to do it right. This one is not ready. Real garbage. ### 3/5 — App issues *2019-10-28, version 3.20.1* I enjoyed using Fox Now, until it became useless. First one show wouldn’t play. It would crash partway through the opening ad. But other shows were fine. Then other shows started having issues too. I assumed it was my phone, as it was starting to have problems. But now I’ve upgraded my phone, and it won’t even connect to mu TV provider! Other channels’ apps will, so this is neither my phone anymore nor my provider. Probably the most frustrating part is that I can find absolutely no “report a problem” option anywhere on the app. The link in the AppStore is useless as that website apparently no longer services the FoxNow app. My only possible recourse *might* be the live chat, but I *should* be able to simply submit a report form. ### 4/5 — App keeps crashing *2019-10-18, version 3.20* I can only get like 30 seconds into a show before the entire app closes itself out, and opening it up restarts the show again, only to play though commercials perfectly fine, then crash 30 seconds in again. Every time I open this app I have a problem. I’d love to use it if it worked properly, and I’ve gone through with all the updates for it, but with each update it seems to cause more bugs for me than fixes, and the ‘chat with an expert’ option never goes beyond a blank screen with no option to actually type or do anything to communicate issues. I feel really dissapointed considering how well it worked when I first downloaded it. ☹️ **Developer response:** We’re sorry for the trouble accessing your content in the app. Please visit our help center at the following link where you can reach out to one of our live chat agents for more assistance https://help.fox.com/s/topic/0TO1H000000HHQWWA4/fox-now ### 1/5 — Worthless app *2019-10-12, version 3.20* It keeps kicking me off every time the actual show starts to play. I’m logged in to my provider yet still this keeps happing. I have watched like 6 adds so far as, oddly enough, they play just fine - TRYING TO WATCH THE SAME EPISODE only getting less than 30sec each time! And even after reinstalling it, it still pulls this crap!!! I guess they care more about making themselves money than making an app -or website- that works at all for what it’s supposed to do! Even their own website doesn’t work at all. It won’t even let me log into my provider, always giving me this crap message “something went wrong”. Been doing this for weeks! What is the point of even making a website that you won’t even let ppl use. Ironically pulling this crap all the time tends to promote illegal downloading, something which they claim to be cracking down on. I would give this negative stars if I could! **Developer response:** We're sorry for the issues with the app. Please visit our help center at the following link where you can reach out to one of our live chat agents for more assistance https://help.fox.com/s/topic/0TO1H000000HHQWWA4/fox-now ## Frequently asked questions about FOX NOW ### What content can I watch on this app?
