My review
Is i love the news 2 app but t miss the voting on different things they use to have u to vote e on. But other then that l love it it keeps me up with the news.
Pop up ads and live weather coverage
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.
News You Cannot See
How ridiculous is this: A Popup Add blocks the middle of the screen!
There app
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….
Slow to update current information
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
Love it ! #1 news station in the world hands down !!!! Thank you guys so much for keeping us up to date on the latest just about anything and for always keeping us alert in bad weather and storms like the other day , y’all are greatly appreciated ‼️🙏👌🏽💯
Data Hog
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.
Bad update
Since the app has been updated, have fail to update the app and cannot see anything but add my weather location. I can’t scroll or down at all on my iPhone. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and shutdown my phone and still have the same results. I like the app before this issue and I love to see this issue fixed.
Disaster
Latest update will not let me open the story. Please fix!
Was good
App was good after two updates it’s bad. The text is much too large and takes too long to scroll through. Thought the second update would fix that but it didn’t. Now I never finish the news story. Change it back.
Fox 8
Love the app. Thank you so much. It’s wonderful. Can keep up with news anytime Elizabeth & Ed White
Doesn’t play
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.
Freeze & Crash
Great station, but app has steady history of freezing and/or crashing.
Crashes and other things
This app is always crashing. It will also post breaking news and as soon as you click on it the link takes you to a blank page or to the home page where you cannot find the article until some time later. Today was the last straw when I was trying to watch a live broadcast and there was no sound. I flipped over to the competition and didn’t have any trouble with sound or anything else. I like FOX8 but I hate this app
Please fix my news app!!!
I used to love this app, which is why I’m giving it the three stars, but lately, it won’t work at all! I get notifications all the time, but when I click on them, I get nothing!! When I just go into the app, I get nothing, just a black screen… o have to go and search it on the website, so what’s the point of the app?? And then sometimes, when it was actually working, it wouldn’t even take you to the actual story you clicked on from the notifications… fix this ASAP!!!
Review
Love me some fox 8!!!!!!!
Pop ups
Takes forever to load because of constant pop ups on screen. Constantly reloads screen.
Could be better..app issues
Every time I open this app, within five minutes it’s rendered useless and I have to force close it and start over. It consistently freezes up. I love my fox 8 and they are my go to new station. I thought maybe an update would fix this but it’s been consistent for a year now. Even deleting and reinstalling doesn’t alter the outcome. Someone please fix it!
My Fox 8
I have never had to send a review but now. I have the new iPhone 12 Max Pro. Every time I log out at night then log back in, My Fox 8 app will not work. The Fox 8 logo comes up but that is as far as it goes. I delete the app reinstall it and it works! I love the app and having to do this is getting tiring!
Fox 8
My favorite local station is FOX8 in High Point NC. All the employees are very Distinguished and report the local news Well. They are real people. Our neighbors Our friends. Keep it up. You deserve the best. Thank you Linda Brooks Ramseur, NC
Very limited
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.
Not responsive
Gotta tap & tap & tap YES I WANNA READ THE STORY THATS WHY I OPENED IT
Freeze Frame
Nice apps to keep up on the current local news, but the screen freezes/fails often with the iPhone. As do the videos.
Terrible update
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!
Needs work, Work on Accuracy
During the Covid-19 time, have found the numbers that are reported are not consistent with NC DHHS. Looks like sensationalism is running the editing room. People need news that is accurate! I agree with other reviews that refer to issues with too many ad’s and ad’s that weaves into various stories. Many of these are pure SPAM and are dangerous.
Becoming a typical click capturing App
Local news is interspersed with national news, some stories days old. Confusing! Recent news, local and national, is often placed way down the page, a sophomoric attempt to get the reader to view more stories with more advertising in them. Advertising is imbedded in most stories. I’ve found that when stories are repeated you should choose the second story as it has little or no advertising.
Where is the NEWS?
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!
Such potential
Browsing the app's content is decent and better than the other local news apps as far as content. What brings it down to a three star is the ever annoying notifications they consider breaking news, which is the only one I have set. For instance, just now got an alert on a video of a wood carving artist. How the heck is that breaking news??? I unchecked video updates, which is what this is.
Fake ad by Christian Castillo
Fox 8 just ran the fake ad against Mark Walker again! When are you going to air a retraction of Christian Castillo’s false advertisement and quit running the advertisement.
Fox 8?app
Since the my fox 8 has been updated, can’t get anything on it.all it’s showing is breaking news and weather location. I don’t know how to get it to work
Bad update
Since update I can not open the app at all! Only thing it does is ask for my location and does nothing afterwards!?! Please fix asap!
