### 4/5 — News You Cannot See

*2026-04-09, version 505.0.0*

How ridiculous is this:
A Popup Add blocks the middle of the screen!

### 1/5 — Pop up ads and live weather coverage

*2026-03-16, version 505.0.0*

Not sure what has happened to the app. During severe weather I like to be able to use app on my phone to stay up to date on radar. Not good when unable to get app to work. It worked then stopped and could not get to work while Emily was watching the storms on radar. Used to love app now not so much.

### 1/5 — Data Hog

*2024-12-09, version 500.6.0*

I have noticed that this app consumes data like no other.  I’m not sure if it’s spyware or just the unbelievable amount of third party advertisings.  If you do not have an unlimited data plan, this app may cause you some trouble.  It will use more gigs in ten minutes than watching Netflix all day.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t play

*2024-10-31, version 500.6.0*

Watch now is a rerun. When I’m getting ready for my day I want the live morning news not a rerun from last nights news.

### 1/5 — Pop ups

*2024-09-11, version 500.5.0*

Takes forever to load because of constant pop ups on screen. Constantly reloads screen.

### 1/5 — Very limited

*2024-08-21, version 500.5.0*

This news app used to allow you to scan through archived articles, but now it is very limited in what you can see. Also, there are many repeat articles day by day, especially on weekends where they have very few new articles.

### 3/5 — Slow to update current information

*2024-08-10, version 500.4.0*

This app is the slowest to update the most current information and weather out of the 3 local stations near me. I prefer Fox over my other local channels.  However, if I want up to the hour current weather video forecast, I have to use another local channel’s app. Disappointing.

### 1/5 — Terrible update

*2024-04-15, version 500.3.0*

This is one of the worst app changes I’ve had in a long time and it seems that every time they do an update it just gets worse!  At first it was frustrating when I would tap view more and nothing would happen but now I tap it and it shuts the app down completely!! 
You need to fix this or take it away, it’s just useless!

### 2/5 — There app

*2024-03-31, version 500.1.4*

I have had the app for a long time, I get up in the morning and that’s the 1st thing I do. But since they change the app I am unable to view more news ad I don’t like that. I have deleted the app and reinstalled it and it still doesn’t work… really upset about it….

### 1/5 — Where is the NEWS?

*2024-03-17, version 500.1.4*

Have checked the app all weekend and the same stories are running on the main feed.  WHERE IS THE NEWS OF THE ACC TOURNAMENT???  NC State plays against UNC and not a peep on tuis app even in the sports section. Shame on you fox 8!
