I get it, everyone wants ads for revenue and that’s fine. But gosh, I can’t click to any of the tabs without getting one or more ads. We had a thunderstorm coming through and I couldn’t get to the radar without having to watch multiple videos. And not to mention the radar is glitchy at times. I’ve bailed more times than I can count and just looked at the national Fox Weather app. Please fix this overflow of ads. ### 2/5 — Ads have killed this app. *2026-07-11* I used to love this app for the weather, but recently they’ve added ads on it that just pop up constantly when you’re in the middle of looking at the weather. Time to find another Memphis weather app that’s less frustrating to look at. Do better, Fox13. ### 3/5 — livestream not working... again *2023-10-11* the "live stream" leaves a LOT to be desired. it's so glitchy it crashes constantly and today it's not working at all. if you're not on xfinity and your livestream isn't working then is anyone even watching you...? ### 2/5 — Force closes / Buggy *2023-03-04, version 134.0* Force closes all the time, way too many ads, & can’t stop auto play videos. Seems all around very buggy & poorly implemented. ### 3/5 — Too many notifications *2023-02-05, version 8.6.1* The amount of notifications is annoying. ### 2/5 — Politics *2022-10-28* Politics are for the Liberals here in Memphis because it is a Democratic city . News Stations here will not give the Democrats the truth about what is really happening. Like the kangaroo Court in Washington, the Biden’s coverup, President lying to the American people everyday and how sick he really is and Jill Biden is run and covering up. How close America is getting into war with China, Russia and the Middle East and how close we are to a civil war here in the US. There is so much news here in our community that reporters will not go after for one reason or another. ### 4/5 — Page is Cluttered *2022-05-23* I generally want to watch the latest news cast. It would be nice if there was a time of the latest cast or something. You click on the live button and sometimes get nothing. Still better than the Action News five app. ### 1/5 — No news is not good news *2022-03-27, version 8.4.4* Constantly old news stories, next to no information in your stories, no follow up to the stories. Lack of proofreading ### 1/5 — Humm *2021-06-07* When the app works it’s good however I usually end up watching other news. I am using my cell phone to watch but your app is awful. I’ll be wanting to watch Fox News I just can’t deal with the long waits and blank screens. Not my phone I have no problem with any of my other apps. Hopefully it gets worked out ### 5/5 — News *2021-05-16* Always 1st in book First almost always in any breaking news & weather. ☀️ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Great until ads *2026-07-19, version 218.0* I loved this app until recently they started adding stupid ads. Now I can’t get it to work correctly from the lag because of the ads. Probably going to delete it soon. ### 1/5 — Not working on iPad with ios26 *2025-09-25, version 217.1* I’m taking this app off my iPad! It is not working with the ios26 update!! ### 1/5 — Terrible update. Buggy and won’t fully close *2025-08-21* Sometimes the video will double on itself with a half second delay. Now the video will not fully close out as a background process even when I swipe to force quit the app. Had to delete the app, which is too bad because I liked the morning show. Guess I’ll move to another station with a working app. ### 1/5 — New update *2023-05-05, version 135.0* It’s very unorganized, repetitive, & just not a good layout for the mobile app. I’ve completely just stopped using it bc it’s mostly videos. It used to be a choice between videos & articles. The layout is repetitive. Please go back to the old setup. ### 1/5 — Hate the update!!! *2023-02-21* I have been using the fox 13 app for almost two years now and have always loved it. I'm not sure why they felt the need to update or change it. The new app is extremely visually unappealing and frankly hard to read. It just feels "all over the place" now! There are random news stories across the top, the bottom, the sides... you don't know where to look! They took away the thumbnail images for each story and now the news feed is just one long list of black and white titles. And everything is so randomly placed that you can't tell if you've seen all the latest stories. Before with the old version, you simply scrolled to the bottom and you could clearly see everything. Every news story was in it's own rectangle, with a thumbnail image. This new update is just overwhelming and not very user friendly at all. I hope they will return to the previous format. Until they do, I will be deleting this app. ### 1/5 — ?? *2023-02-01, version 8.6.1* This app only works using my Wi-Fi only ### 1/5 — Leaving Fox 13 *2022-10-05, version 8.6.1* I really liked Fox 13 until they decided to unjustly terminate Joey. I’ll be deleting the app and moving over to WMC NBC channel 5 now. So long Fox 13. You were good until you became woke. ### 1/5 — You fired Joey Sulipeck *2022-08-10, version 8.6* You lost my viewership ! You fired a man for calling someone a knuckle-dragger ?! The Gray Man movie had the same verbiage ! You failed to stand by your employee and bowed down to cancel culture while tarnishing a good man’s reputation! SHAME ON YOU ! Worthless app is now deleted! ### 1/5 — Garbage *2022-07-28, version 8.5.2* I’m not sure why this application is so highly rated. The videos rarely play and typographical errors and jacked up grammar usage —not knowing when to use was vs were —is amusing 😩. It’s a mess. ### 1/5 — HAD TO DELETE THE APP TODAY‼️ *2022-06-30, version 8.5.2* Fox 13, Memphis sends out notifications, constantly. You tap on a notification only to see commercials that bring in more money to the station. This app is nothing more than a “cash cow” for Cox Media Group‼️ I refuse to play their game‼️ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Duplicate notifications *2025-05-01* I hope this update solves duplicate notifications problem. I get 3-4 motivations of the same thing back to back. Other than that, I love it! Keep me informed on all things Memphis and the rest of the world. ### 5/5 — Fox *2023-01-16, version 8.6.1* I just love the early morning team Jeremy is the man ### 5/5 — Fox 13 *2022-11-04, version 8.6.1* I love Val and Ernie with Brittany too much ❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Home Is Where The Heart Is *2022-10-06, version 8.6.1* Fox 13 is always in depth and on point;I moved from Memphis for a Career Opportunity and The App is my piece of sanity…Always up on the stories and always touching every community.THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO🫶🏽❤️ ### 5/5 — Streaming news *2022-10-02, version 8.6.1* Do a great job ### 5/5 — Favorite News *2022-04-17, version 8.5* I love Fox 13 News..they keep us informed and on top of the news ### 5/5 — Murders *2022-04-10* I’m living in the uk great journalism and stories but I’m sad due to all the gun crimes and murders ### 5/5 — Local tv news *2022-01-17, version 8.4.4* I like your local tv news ### 5/5 — Hello to Joel Young! *2021-11-27, version 8.4.01* Great new meteorologist, Joel Young. ### 5/5 — Love my FOX13 *2021-05-28* I love how they have more shows than the other affiliates because with my schedule and i cant always catch the 10pm news and they have FOX13 News at Nine and as well in the mornings, they have Good Morning Memphis until 10am. Their severe weather coverage is great as well when you are under a tornado warning they tell you everything you need to know about the approaching storm. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
