User reviews

No search function and doesn’t have content their reporters say it does on TV

The TV reporters will say viewers can go to the app to read more about a story, but when you do, it’s just a repeat of a video clip and not an actual article. And no search function?!!! That’s crazy! App crashes often on iPhone 15 Pro Max running iOS 18.2.

Cant use

Why is the text so large?

Locked up ads, Bluetooth earbuds don’t work

U need to check why ads hang up and earbuds stopped working on the iPad. I have the most recent updates on it.

Not a fan of the app

Nothing against Fox 40 News, but I’m not a fan of the app at all. Each news story has a video playing at the top that starts with an obnoxiously loud commercial. And there have been numerous times I’ve waited out the commercial only to have the video completely unrelated to the article. I wish the videos started off muted and gave me the option of listening or not rather than the immediate assault. As a result I hardly open the news alerts.

Fake

This is the worst news reporting. They are lazy and don’t report the actual news instead they cloud you with nonsense. FAKE NEWS!!!!
