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!!!!
Please fix the last update.
Ads cover more than a quarter of the viewable page now. And with the new “video” feature you have to scroll through the article then backtrack just to read the article. Very tedious.
Inconsistent look and feel
Overall font size is too small with only the ne place that allows for font size adjustments for a few articles. I just cannot deal with the navigation to see what nconsistent looking pages.
Update ruined it
I used to love this app because I could scroll from story to story but now it’s like KCRA app where you have to close one story to read the next. It’s so time consuming. Does that look good, yes. It’s just not as user friendly.
Fox 40 News App
Well-balanced news reports, easy to navigate, and an interesting selection of articles. Their on-air reports are also very informative.
Duplication
The only thing I do not understand are your duplications. You can see on one topic a certain item and after scrolling a very short way, the same topic is listed??
Repetitive
They show the same stories over and over and over. Ugh. I’ll see the same story on my page 5-6 times in one day and NO ONE has commented. They also re-post old news. I’ve commented about this but it does no good. Whoever is managing their tweets needs more training. If they don’t improve I’m unfollowing

Fix app please
This app use to work great now it freezes and you have to continuously re open the app
Update makes phone overheat and crashes
I loved this app until the July 2 update ... now it makes my XS Max overheat and the app crashes multiple times when refreshing to load new stories. Hopefully it will be fixed soon, because a lot of local news is offered in the app and I like Fox 40.
Location Service
FOX 40 does Apple know that your app is not listed under location service? Yet you all are using my location without my permission. I’m going to report you all to Apple. I’m sure you are breaking Apple’s terms of service. It’s rare that I go to your app, but I noticed my location was being monitored from your app earlier. I see FOX 40 Weather under the Location tab, but not FOX 40 news. I’m thinking it’s against the law to monitor someone’s location without their permission.

Happy I ditched the KCRA app for FOX40
I left KCRA’s insulting ad-fest of an app for this one. I enjoy the app for reading the news and am grateful that it is in both video and article form. The proofreading is mostly accurate and, perhaps most importantly, readers are not inundated and overwhelmed by ads like KCRA. I would give 5 stars but the live stream often loses sound and crashes. NOTE: I voiced one concern one time and have seen the problem resolved. FOX40 listens! Thank you

FOX40
I am enjoying this app very much. It is clear concise and easy to use
Fairly unbiased
For a news app, this is pretty neutral and factual. One of the few I read.
FOX NEWS
Fox News is my ONLY go-to scene for information everyday. I have no desire to view any other news source as I don’t trust them !!
Good news - Horrible App
The reason I’ve used this app for so long is because it’s got good local news. The reason I’m deleting it now is because it’s a horrible app design. First, They post the very same ad into every single article. That’s to say, there’s only one advertiser that is getting their product displayed! In giving hundreds of ad feedbacks that I keep seeing the same ad and that I’m not interested in their product, I get a Google acknowledgement and then it pops it back on again. Next, the app is full of fake news stories that lead you to articles that FOX never wrote. Last, The real FOX news stories are so few that this app repeats them as you scroll down through the list. They typically have around six new stories, a couple old stories, and then all that repeated. Well, here’s my feedback to the black hole of app administration. I’m done with this horrible app and deleting it.

Video issues
All the videos I’m trying to watch are in a constant 1 second playback loop. I see with it could be looking into and resolved.
