### 2/5 — No way to get CW2

*2026-04-24, version 507.0.0*

FOX 31 is on any TV, so how to watch CW2 with a silly web browser?

### 2/5 — Annoying ads!

*2025-12-23*

I’m just trying to read the news and the ads have gotten so bad that there’s a “feel free” that pops open multiple times while you read a story. I tried for a few days to scroll without accidentally clicking on it, but it still happens. I think I have had this app as long as I have had an iPhone, so maybe like 17 years and I’m deleting it because I’m tired of having to close windows I didn’t intentionally open. Also, whatever “feel free” is, yeah I’ve heard about it now, but I will never ever buy it if that’s your strategy. I will try again in a month or two and see if it’s fixed.

### 2/5 — App crashes everyday!

*2025-09-18*

I am writing to report recurring issues with the FOX 31 app on my iPhone. The app crashes consistently whenever I watch a newscast and it transitions to a commercial break. This happens every day without fail. I have confirmed that my internet connection is stable and that other apps function properly, so the issue appears to be specific to the FOX 31 app on iPhone.

In addition, the broadcasts are frequently cut off early for commercials, and when the program returns, it often resumes halfway through a segment. This makes it difficult to follow the news and is becoming increasingly frustrating, especially when I am unable to use my Apple TV, where the app does not experience these problems.

### 2/5 — Freezes

*2025-09-11, version 500.9.0*

App freezes and just shuts off!

### 3/5 — I would quickly upgrade to 5* if you could cast or airplay the video

*2025-02-17*

I finally downloaded the app today because I would much rather watch local news that terribly unentertaining women’s basketball coverage. I was happy I was still about to watch my local news team instead. But forced to watch it only on my iPad? Please add casting or airplay capabilities for sharing video to compatible devices.

### 1/5 — App gets worse and worse

*2024-12-13, version 500.6.0*

The iPhone app gets worse and worse: 1st barely any news. 2nd the headlines are smaller than a snowflake falling from the sky. I just don’t know why I keep this app

### 2/5 — What’s with the font size?

*2024-09-13, version 500.5.0*

Please enlarge font size to something normal, like other apps.

### 1/5 — Ugh!

*2024-08-20, version 500.5.0*

Can’t swipe past the ad to see the news when I open the app!

### 1/5 — Ads take over making app useless

*2024-08-11, version 500.4.0*

Demands you buy subscription to read articles. Ads go full screen making this app useless. Too bad as I wanted a local TV station source for local news.

### 3/5 — Could be 5 stars

*2024-07-26, version 500.4.0*

App would be 5 stars if an ad didn’t pop up the moment you open it. Ad must be closed before you can read any news. Frustrating and inconvenient

### 1/5 — Pauses my music

*2024-07-10, version 500.4.0*

Pauses music when there’s no reason to when I’m in the app. Starting the music again does even work because it repauses it.

### 1/5 — Fonts not scaling

*2024-06-26, version 500.4.0*

With latest updates, fonts are not scaling when trying to read a story.  The choices are large and very large.

### 3/5 — Can’t Stream

*2024-06-17, version 500.4.0*

Fox 31 is my go-to for local news. The app works well. However, you are not able to stream the broadcast anymore. It used to work, but recently it just spins and never loads. Please fix this for us locals.

### 1/5 — Weather

*2024-06-14, version 500.4.0*

App asked for my zip code thinking I would get weather in Durango? But all I get is Denver weather. Seven hours away from Durango. Thier weather doesn’t help me.

### 1/5 — Why do you tease weather everyday

*2024-05-13, version 500.3.0*

I am so sick of the weather from the woman Kylie? I changed from channel 4 thinking fox was more conservative. They sort of are. But I never know what the weather will be, it’s always going to be coming up. Ugh at least channel 4 gives the full forecast within the hour.

### 1/5 — AVOID - 70% of screen Filled with ads -AVOID

*2024-05-02, version 500.3.0*

JUST AWFUL !!!  The 70% screen on my iPad is literally filled with ads!!!  Sometimes you can’t see the fox pages because of all the ads. You need to close each ad manually if the close button works, 50% of the time it doesn’t. It takes about a minute to close the ads. Each new page or link has another barrage of ads. Just awful !!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-03-29, version 500.1.4*

Though the app works fine on iPhone it is unusable on iPad.   Love the news hate your app.   
Also many have gone to streaming adds during breaks vs pop up adds that repeat every time you switch apps and come
Back.  
Lots of little areas that could improve that add up
To just a bad experience overall

### 1/5 — Application is unusable

*2024-03-15, version 500.1.4*

With all the advertising you’re left being only to read about 2 lines of text. That is completely ridiculous, you need to be able to clear away the advertisement.

The only reason you get one star is being I’m able to delete the app, replacing it with a functioning application.

### 1/5 — broken app

*2024-03-01, version 500.1.4*

forced to watch ads and video. the video covers the text of the story and you cannot remove it in the ipad.

### 1/5 — What’s going on??

*2026-08-03, version 509.0.0*

My phone freezes every time I open this app!!

### 1/5 — Bad changes

*2025-11-17, version 502.0.2*

A recent change made the app randomly select one of the other streams when you open the app instead of going to fox 31 news. 

If I wanted to see CW 2 or news (nation,max,or whatever) I would look for their apps.

### 1/5 — Live stream is a trial

*2025-10-29*

Was informed that live streaming trial had ended and I would be required to log in through an email link after requesting they send me a one time use link to my email. I tried to remain logged in to watch the 9pm news but was required to log out, request a new email link and log back in through the new link. To many “hoops” to jump through just to watch the news. Have deleted the app off my I pad and will not download it again.

### 1/5 — Not as happy as I used to be

*2025-09-05, version 500.9.0*

I constantly get a black screen with “video playback error. Reload” and it stays like that. This used to be a good app. I am tired of removing it and reinstalling it to just get the same results. The constant public service announcements get old too. I know they get funding for their ads but I see those then get the black screen. I got the app for the news. Now I am forced to watch CBS national news.

### 1/5 — App crashing

*2025-08-26, version 500.9.0*

I love this app and never had issues until about a month ago. Now, it is unusable. Every commercial break, as soon as a Fox commercial begins,the app completely crashes/closes. I’ll fight with it for a while and then give up and watch another news channel. So frustrating!

### 1/5 — Shut down

*2025-07-25, version 500.9.0*

The past 2 - 3 weeks the app shuts down after about 5 minutes of play time. Please fix!!

### 1/5 — Where is Channel2?

*2025-07-22, version 500.9.0*

I downloaded this to watch Daybreak on channel 2 and even though I clearly hit the link for that I get Fox 31 News. I would rather watch SpongeBob than Fox 31 morning news. Give me Daybreak back or I’m deleting the app. Same for the iPad version.

### 1/5 — Version 500.9.0 keeps crashing when it’s opened

*2025-07-18, version 500.9.0*

When opening app version 500.9.0 on MacBook Pro it keeps crashing.

### 1/5 — Hides important stories in favor of sports or months old stories

*2025-02-08*

Today I got a notification about a series of shootings in the highways. when I tapped it, not only was I not taken to the story, that story wasn’t even listed on the home page. I had to dig around to find it.
The front page had lots of stories about sports ball, and even a 2 month old story about avoiding Christmas scams. it’s February, a story about shootings on the highway should rank a little higher than garbage Christmas pieces!

Basically, this app has serious technical and editorial issues.

### 1/5 — So cluttered up with ads it’s hardly usable

*2025-01-03, version 500.7.0*

I used to like this app before it got so slow and cluttered up with ads.  Now , every space on screen is an advertisement that blocks the ability to easily read the news they are publishing .  Worthless news app now that not usable.

### 5/5 — Ugh Chris parents

*2024-08-16, version 500.5.0*

I always turn to Fox but having CP on the news now is annoying

### 5/5 — Fox ‘es new app

*2020-08-27, version 6.9.2*

I love the new app because if the headlines are deceiving which they are a lot of the time you can just return back to app and see what else you want to look at.

### 5/5 — Love the Fox News App!

*2020-08-18, version 6.9.2*

I get the news I’m interested in and don’t have to spend the time digging around for it. So convenient!

### 5/5 — What news should be, precise

*2020-04-14*

I have another news app, and FOX31 always reports first. Also, they made an error in one of their articles I was easily able to send them the correct location of where the event occurred and they replied right away thanking me. Keep it up guys !!

### 5/5 — Fox 31 news

*2020-03-19, version 6.5.3*

It’s nice to have a app that doesn’t give false news or lean to the left so far it falls off the page. Thanks everyone great job. Keep it up. Not sure who wrote that but I agree with it 100%

### 5/5 — Really like a Fox News

*2019-07-26, version 6.5.0*

We watch Channel 31 every night. Like both the 11pm team and the news format. Matt, Keagan and Ericka do a good job.

### 5/5 — The best new app ever

*2019-07-05, version 6.5.0*

I love this app I don’t have an antenna so this helps when I need to get to work as well 5stars all the way

### 5/5 — Fox review

*2019-04-14, version 6.3.0*

Great news channel!!  Love the news casters and the weather also!!  Good times are available as well👍

### 5/5 — Best Denver News App Ever

*2019-01-13*

Love it because you can either read the story or watch the story. I hate being forced to watch a video I don’t want. 
This site is always current and love the special features like problem solver. Best weather too for those of us outside the metro area.

### 5/5 — I read through it everyday!

*2019-01-08*

I really like this news app. I love the updates and I honestly go thru it everyday several times a day to stay current on the local and national news. The layout is simple and easy to use.
