Crystal Martinez
I really enjoyed the broadcast with Crystal. I think she’s funny she’s personable. The kind of person you’d like to have a cup of coffee with she makes it feel like you’re having a cup of coffee with her love to see her more.
zero stars if I could
Terrible app. News stories are imbedded with ad links that take up about half the page sometimes. Scrolling on a phone, you can’t make it through an entire article without accidentally opening a browser link for an ad.
Like the app.
Enjoy the layout and ease of finding articles.
Livestream
Seriously? You need an account to watch the livestream after 5 minutes. What? I shouldn’t need to login to an account to watch free news. Especially during severe weather.

WORST news app I have ever used
DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP FOR NEWS IN KANSAS CITY Clumsy navigation, slow loading articles, horrible user interface. Navigating between news stories is beyond cumbersome. This app is just a horrible internet browser that slowly loads the articles. The homepage displays the first (most recent) news stories. At the end of this short list is a “load more” button that shows you more articles. So far so good, right? Not even close. So this is how it plays out: when you finish reading an article and go back to the list of stories, it takes you back to the homepage with the initial listing of five or so articles. So you scroll down and hit the “load more” button to see the next few stories. Loading another five at a time. Then the process repeats itself when you click into another article and return to the initial listing. You’re back to the homepage with the initial five stories. Oh and don’t forget everytime you return to the homepage it leaves you at bottom of the page so you end up scrolling back to where the end of the article list is to load the stories again. Rinse and repeat. Pretty sure this was coded by middle school students. Keep up the great work kids!
Not user friendly
This app is way too busy, too many pop ups, ads, and misleading links. It is extremely difficult to navigate and doesn’t operate as you would expect.
Morning news.
I have watched the Morning news for years! This morning news made me laugh out loud. Really laugh out loud. B O L O G N A. John singing the Oscar Meyer jingle, Abbey and Kim directing John’s singing and laughing so hard and Nick what is up with you? Bolognahhh? Thank you for making my day!
Cluttered with ads and commercials, sprinkled with info I’m not looking for.
I’ve downloaded and deleted this app multiple times. It’s difficult to find news stories because the screen is so cluttered with ads. The stories I look for are often videos rather than text that I can read. The video commercials on a tiny viewing area surrounded by click bait ads. Disappointing.
Poor sound control
The ads are infuriatingly loud, please fix!!
Love it
Love reading news on this app
Live stream locked behind account no way to log in to account on app
So the livestream during like severe weather only has a small amount of free time then you have to make a free account. Okay fine, but the problem is there is no way to log into the free account while using the app once you enter your info, they send you a sign in link to the email, clicking the confirmation sign in link opens the link in safari or whatever browser you have in your phone it doesn’t link back into the app so there is no way to sign in to the account you made using the app meaning the app can’t watch the live stream after that little preview window timeframe they give you “free”
Bad app..or is it just the bad content
Biased reporting for sure and not for the majority of Americans
Enjoyable
I’ve enjoyed that you’ve considered the customer in how your app is user friendly. I’m a channel 4 viewer for 49 years and you’ve continued to improve the quality of your stations news. Thank You! Your staff has definitely put and kept the reader in mind.
Terrible app
Better hope there’s not a tornado headed your way… they’ll make you watch an ad before you get to the live broadcast! Don’t event get me started on the articles/web videos. Super glitchy and/or crashes the app. Gotta rewatch that ad again! Can’t even watch a video all the way thru. Waste of time.
Few relevant stories and SLOW!
I’ve had this app for a few years and I keep giving it a try every once in a while. I guess it’s good for emergency alerts or something like that but then news app for Fox 4KC has so many ads that is just congested and it runs slow on most devices. I have it on my iPhone and my iPad and it doesn’t seem to be much better on either. And when there is something newsworthy happening in the Kansas City area, I have gone to look for more information on Fox News and they don’t have anything listed for the current event of the day or the last big thing that happened that hour that I might’ve heard of from another new source. I think if they cut down the amount of ads that run simultaneously alongside their news article in their app that that might make it run faster. And I don’t know who’s inputting the news information but that needs to be a little more up-to-the- moment.
Way too much advertisement
You can’t even scroll through it without accidentally clicking on an ad. It’s way overloaded with ads. No wonder it’s free.!!
Don’t like the latest upgrade to the App
I prefer to read my news. With the latest upgrade some of the news articles are videos. That would be okay if there was a way to click back to the list of news articles, but their isn’t. Once the video is done, it goes on to another video. I have to close the app and restart the app and hope I don’t click on another video. I am no even going to bother opening the app anymore unless I’m notified the problem has been remedied.
How do I watch?
I downloaded the app and when I click watch now, it runs an ad and tells me my free event ended. I put in my email, click to access the app. Click Watch live, get an ad and get told my free event ended …again.
Constant problems with news refresh
I have had constant problems with this news app refreshing with updated news stories. Often go days without new stories being updated even when trying to manually refresh. I update the app and my operating system regularly. I have removed and dowloaded multiple times. Nothing helps. I like the format and that’s why I kept trying to remedy this problem but done fooling with it. I will use another local station’s app going forward.
What have You done!!
Don’t get me wrong I really like Fox 4 in the morning. I like that I can watch and listen on my iPhone. But what did you do to it? I liked it before your last update. What is going on I can’t watch on my IPhone at all! I have signed up to watch and then nothing! FIX IT!!
Good format; poor tech
I would agree with other reviews that the Fox 4 News app for Kansas City news updates is by far the best format. It’s why I am so disappointed in the overall operation of the app though. There is a beg that causes the app to freeze, sometimes in an article, at other times while simply scrolling the homepage, causing me to have to totally shut the app down and reboot the app. This is very frustrating, again, because the format is my personal favorite over the Chanel 9, TV5, and 41 apps for Kansas City news.
Why put buttons to limit items if you’ll just show it anyways?
The app, itself, is fine. But for the love of all that is holy!!!!! If you put in buttons to limit certain types of news…..LIKE WEATHER!!!!!!! Then remove all weather alerts!!!!! If I wanted weather alerts, then I’d download the Fox 4 weather app………………..
Tha app keeps crashing
Tried to watch some stories and the app keeps shutting down.
No Search Feature
Deleted the app today after figuring out there is no search feature. What are your developers thinking???
55 mph speed limit
