Used to be able to watch it vertically or horizontally. Can we get back to watching it either way. ### 4/5 — Review of the app *2026-02-16, version 132.0.0* Your app is good, but how do we get rid of all the ads! We don’t need to see all the legal firms out there. ### 2/5 — Advertisement issue *2026-01-06* Every time I open the app and I want to read the story advertisements play automatically with sound There’s nowhere to shut it off or mute it unless you press on it so if you’re in a location, that’s quiet and you want to read a news story it’s basically impossible since the ad will start blurting out loud immediately when you click on the story - there you should have a place in your menu to mute that unless you want to hear it it’s extremely annoying ### 1/5 — ADS! *2025-12-24, version 132.0.0* Why is there so many ads? I just want to read the news articles. This app is horrible. Is there a paid version? ### 3/5 — Okay *2025-12-16, version 132.0.0* The app is okay but the ads are OBNOXIOUS and have gotten worse recently. So many every time you click something. The live broadcasts have more ads than news ### 1/5 — This app is horrible *2025-11-26, version 132.0.0* This app is buggy and seems like fox5 would rather promote bogus ads a misleading articles at the bottom of every story. It’s unfortunate because this app started out great before the greed of advertisement dollars overtook the news feeds. Pathetic! ### 1/5 — Horrible App *2025-11-17, version 132.0.0* Another bad app that won’t let you listen to music and read their articles. Pop ups commandeer audio so you can’t do both. When will these developers ever learn? ### 1/5 — Sound *2025-11-12, version 132.0.0* The new update immediately plays videos upon entering the app. There is no setting to mute or no sound upon entering app. I like to read articles and don’t necessarily want to watch the videos attached. I will be removing this app as I can get the same stories on News 8 app and it has not highjacked my ability to control videos from immediately playing. ### 1/5 — Update is bad *2025-11-11, version 132.0.0* Not going to use this until you landscape the view. ### 1/5 — Terrible update *2025-11-06, version 132.0.0* This latest update is not user friendly to use. At least change the orientation to allow for landscape. ### 1/5 — New App *2025-11-04, version 132.0.0* The newest app update is absolutely horrible. Navigation is difficult and cannot change the view from preset parameters. Live show resets to commercials every time you navigate from full screen, that isn’t full screen. Not sure who thought this would be better than the previous version but it is not. ### 1/5 — Uninstalling *2025-10-14, version 131.0.14* Good lord! So many people with missing teeth! What kind of weather caused that? Oh wait. It’s just an ad. So don’t eat at Joes or your teeth will fall out. But there’s a ton of docs in town that will fix that. But is it going to rain? Guess I’ll never know. ### 2/5 — Why? *2025-10-10* Is there a particular by reason why I have to listen to commercials in Spanish while watching my news in the mornings? Nothing else is in foreign languages… Please put Spanish stuff with their Spanish channels so I can go back to enjoying my news. I am unable to submit a new rating. Nevertheless, there’s still commercials in Spanish which is very annoying. I wonder if they are subjected to English advertising on their channel. ### 1/5 — Can’t get past ads *2025-09-24, version 131.0.14* Uninstalling. ### 3/5 — Great app until the ads took over *2025-09-15* Used to love this app, but then ads became almost impossible to close. It became as annoying as those game ads that have an “x” so small you could only find it with a microscope. I understand you have to make money, but if your ads are too overwhelming, I will have to find news elsewhere. ### 1/5 — The Most Outdated News App In Modern History *2025-09-08, version 131.0.14* This News App Has The Most Outdated Software I Have Ever Seen. Here’s What Needs To Be Done 1. Completely Refresh The Home Page To A Modern Look 2. Add Dark Mode 3. Merge Weather & News All In 1 App, Not 2 4. Completely Redesign The Settings Page 5. Display Ads In A Different Way That Does Not Cause A Eyesore For Viewers As A Las Vegas Resident, This Is Beyond Embarrassing For Our City & This Should Be An Urgent Change For The Fox 5 News Team ### 1/5 — Terrible app full of long commercials *2025-09-07, version 131.0.14* This app is terrible it use to be good now is nothing but adds commercials you click on a news video and nothing but long commercials and nothing to do with the story you clicked on I am deleting this app they got to greedy it use to be my to go for news but now it’s just frustrating to use terrible app now ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too Many advertisements *2026-05-11, version 132.0.6* Advertisements are annoying. Greed, raw unabashed greed, is more annoying. This station, this app,is contaminated with greed. So I deleted it. Won’t be back. ### 1/5 — Stop the auto play on the videos *2026-04-07, version 132.0.5* Don’t like how the ads on videos autoplay when I open a story. Too many times I’ve been in a quiet room trying to discreetly read the news article yet a loud video pops off automatically. I should have to select the video option for the ad to start playing. ### 1/5 — ADS FOR DAYS! *2026-03-16, version 132.0.5* I usually only use this app for notifications. You absolutely don’t want to click on any stories! You will be suffocated by advertisements! This is one of the most lame apps I’ve ever used. ### 1/5 — Stop the Loud Ads! *2026-03-10, version 132.0.1* Every time I open a story it starts a video that is loud. Why do we have to listen to that when we simply want to read a news story? ### 1/5 — Don’t Waste Your Time *2026-02-26* I have had this App for a couple of years, and every time I open it, I’m hoping it’s been improved. Nope, it’s never happened. Today, I’m deleting this app because I’m tired of dealing with the bugs and other issues. When trying to fill out a form, it jumps to another page and deletes everything. When you click a news story, the weather comes up, an advertisement appears, and a different story plays. This is after 4-5 minutes! Stick a fork in me, I’m done! Bye! ### 1/5 — Not worth even downloading *2026-02-18* At first it worked, now you can’t even submit an issue. Not worth downloading, so aggravating! The actual app won’t even let you rate it have to go to the App Store find it and then submit. What’s the point of having it if it doesn’t work and you don’t care? Just useless! They make it impossible to set your privacy preferences so I’m deleting my account and the app. I’ll go online if I need to see something. ### 1/5 — Sharing *2026-01-21, version 132.0.0* I use to be able to share articles and not be concerned which direction I held my screen. At the least, let us share articles. ### 1/5 — Does not brodcast as before. *2026-01-10, version 132.0.0* Unable to watch daily live news like before. Also, cannot remove closed captioning individual live stories that do play. ### 1/5 — Ads are out of control *2026-01-08, version 132.0.0* The ads are out of control. There is no true settings, so stopping auto play of videos isn’t an option. Stories are so abridged you don’t get any true information. The old app was so much better. ### 1/5 — Noisy ads *2026-01-07, version 132.0.0* They have started doing videos with music and dialogue while opening the app - you can not stop it and this is unnecessary and annoying They are now blocking access to the app with ads that refuse to go away ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Informative And Accessible *2026-07-08, version 132.0.9* I love that that this blind girl can sit and read the news. ### 5/5 — Excellent when traveling too *2026-05-18, version 132.0.7* I love using the Fox5 app when I’m traveling so I can keep up with the local news and watch the morning gang ### 5/5 — They Listened To Our Reviews *2025-11-05, version 132.0.0* After My 1 Star Review I Left 2 Months Ago On This App Being The Most Outdated News App I’ve Ever Seen, They Took Action & Updated It. I Appreciate You Listening To Our Reviews & Now This Deserves A 5 Star Rating! ### 5/5 — Old news, they don’t update *2024-11-18, version 131.0.13* Today is the 18th but the most updated news here is from the 16th. So why should I come here? ### 5/5 — Excellent app from an excellent truthful channel *2023-04-03, version 131.0.6* I don’t feel very talkative at this time however when it is in any format I find this channel to be truthful globally and very helpful locally. I would work for this channel. I always use cars for example. I’ve been reading and learning about cars. For example… When I was about 21 years old and left NY to visit friends in a a beautiful area in Southern California. I decided I was going to stay so I decided to cell cars. This was a dealership that I would work for because they had Pontiac which at the time had 2 of the greatest cars - Trans Am & Grand Prix. They also sold this very small up and coming Honda Civic CVCC. At the time both companies had great cars. Had it been a dealership with other brands that were problematic or some other reason I did not like the vehicles and/or company, in that castI would not have sold them because I have to truly believe in the product and I WOULD NEVER LIE TO CUSTOMERS!!! That is why I believe in FOX NEWS! Evan. 4.2.2021 ### 5/5 — Always!, *2022-11-19, version 130.4.10* Always a great app foe iPad! ### 5/5 — New design *2022-03-04, version 130.4.3* Love the new design!

Downloaded the app and read about what’s happening in my town. ### 5/5 — Keeps informed *2019-11-27, version 4.34.260049868* We work in LA, and travel to the NW often but thanks to FOX5, we always feel like we’re home. ### 5/5 — Amazing News updates *2019-11-17, version 4.34.260049868* I always know what’s going on in my community because of this application!
