### 4/5 — Fox News channel cuts out all the time unlike all the others that I’ll listen to on the same map

*2026-04-21, version 6.1.7*

I don’t understand why Fox News channel always cuts out. It’ll start for just a few seconds and then go for a few minutes then cut out. I press pause then play and then it starts up again but then we’ll soon cut out. It doesn’t matter how many bars I have on my cellular or my Wi-Fi it just cuts out.

Newmax, The Blaze, Fox News

Are useless app every single day. When I’m just driving around town or if I have to travel. I have to travel since I’m a musician and at times I don’t feel like listening to music. I like to find out what’s going on in the world so I subscribe to a few podcasts in the shop is the best one ever. I recommended everybody.

### 2/5 — Now worthless

*2025-08-08, version 6.1.7*
