Always informative. I will admit that I have scaled back the amount of time I spend listening to any news. Tired of the political front and definitely tired of Covid updates. I don’t need to know of every new case on CT. Yes, it is a contagious virus, just like the flu. Seems the same precautions can keep it at bay. At any rate, keep up the good work Fox 61!!!! ### 4/5 — Update *2024-07-01, version 46.3.1* I enjoy the news from beginning to end, and a bit more so now that Matt Scott has been absent. Too much forced laughter. ### 5/5 — Great news app highly recommend *2024-05-05, version 46.2.1* One of the best if not the best news app . Up to date and easy to use 5 star app on my book. ### 5/5 — Waking up with them *2024-04-26, version 46.2.1* Mornings ### 5/5 — Prescription shortage *2024-04-17, version 46.2.1* Another prescription shortage nationwide is the Mounjaro diabetes type 2 medication; I’ve been trying to get my script filled and all I keep hearing from the pharmacies is that the prescription is not available and day don’t know when it will be in ### 5/5 — Always in the known. *2024-03-09* I like this app, use it daily also enjoying it. Breaking news daily followed by local events. Forecast accurate to a minute. Always on top of breaking news. ### 5/5 — Fox *2024-02-14, version 46.0.2* I like what FOX61 has to say about things ### 5/5 — Fox 61 🫶🏽 *2024-02-13, version 46.0.2* thank you to all without you, or I don’t know where what happened to the world I appreciate you all going out jeopardizing your lives just to bring us closure and keep us safe Fox 61 forever my channel 🫶🏽 ### 5/5 — Our review of your station and news teams. *2024-02-10* Love FOX61 news teams as they relate to real life feelings.

Thank you. ### 5/5 — Love FOX61 *2023-12-15, version 45.30.3* Really enjoy this station. ### 5/5 — 61 my go to station for news *2023-12-14, version 45.30.3* Always view state and local news on 61. Delivered by knowledgeable reporters and journalists. ### 3/5 — Provocative *2023-09-11, version 45.20.1* Sometimes your female staff could dress very provocative such as Erica in the morning and this is supposed to be a family show. Say that for your husband Erica not for year audience. ### 5/5 — Informative Stories *2023-09-03, version 45.20.1* Fox 61 provides a wide range of stories on topics that are important to those of us living in CT. ### 5/5 — App won’t play live *2023-05-16, version 45.1* It’s been working great but all of a sudden today may 16, 2023 when you click on to watch live it doesn’t play. Not sure what’s going on. I’ve rebooted my iPhone deleted app and reinstalled it and still nothing. Please fix this issue it’s quite annoying. If it’s not gonna work anymore why have it take up room on my phone. Please fix I did love this app. ### 3/5 — Not happy!!! *2023-04-05, version 45.1* I love watching TV on your app but I’m very sad that you didn’t put it on the Apple TV. ### 5/5 — Justice101 *2023-04-04, version 45.1* justice101 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Absolutely useless *2026-03-23, version 50.7.3* There is no longer an interactive function. You can only see what select stories they choose to show. And if watching videos you have to swipe through them. There is no way to see thumbnails or a topic to select a video. They are trying to be TikTok when they are a news app. ### 1/5 — Not loading *2023-03-27, version 45.0* Was there a new update? App is not working on iPad. Have deleted it, restarted iPad, reinstalled, and still no working. It briefly opens to black background with FOX61 icon in middle and then Immediately shuts down. How do I fix this? ### 1/5 — App crash *2021-11-26, version 43.9.3* After the latest update the app crashes as soon as I load it. Tried everything with no luck. ### 1/5 — Crap site *2021-01-11, version 42.13.38* Never updated-stale stories, extremely limited and have some nonsense called verify where they TELL you what’s accurate in the news_the assumption being they’re smarter than you. Don’t waste your time ### 1/5 — Maybe it’s me... *2020-12-25, version 42.13.38* Every time I try to watch Live TV it makes me watch the same commercials over and over again. If I switch to another channel and come back to FOX61 Ive had to watch all the same commercials again. I’ve tried this 7 times and have yet to see any live television! Like I said maybe it’s me but I find this to be the worst live TV app I’ve ever experienced. ### 1/5 — Too many annoying cheesy ads *2020-09-23, version 42.10.17* Can not stand. The old one was better. Too many cheesy ads and a clunky interface. And stop with the left wing agenda ### 1/5 — Crashing *2020-03-25, version 42.3.15* Downloaded this app yesterday. Used a few times yesterday. Trying to watch the live news feed today and it keeps CRASHING. ### 1/5 — Unwanted alerts *2020-03-07, version 42.3.15* So I only selected weather alerts but this app is giving me story alerts unrelated to the weather so I guess will do without as I did with WFSB that was also giving tons of unwanted alerts. Wonder if same developer? ### 1/5 — Tiresome *2020-03-04, version 42.3.15* Just updated to the new version, did they ever hear of the word ‘condense’ ? Takes forever to go thru pages and pages to see the news.... I agree with others, the old version was much better.... ### 1/5 — Old version was better *2020-02-22, version 42.2.11* This app gives late notifications and now you have to watch ads before being able to watch a video...which usually starts off with commercials. The old app was way better. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Always in the known. *2026-02-27, version 46.5.2* I like this app, use it daily also enjoying it. Breaking news daily followed by local events. Forecast accurate to a minute. Always on top of breaking news. ### 5/5 — Greetings from Florida *2026-02-23, version 46.5.2* I don’t live in Connecticut anymore but I still like to see what the weather what the weather is and local Ct news & especially to watch the Manchester Thanksgiving Day Road Race and we are originally from Manchester we will watch it on the app or on You Tube.
