The fox chicago app needs to be brought back. fox local app is one of the worst apps ever created due to the fact, there are too many complications. it’s not allowing you to do many things that you were able to do and the fox chicago app. It will only allow you to use […]

Fox News has always been a good news source but this app interface is so lacking and the app just won’t send me any news or breaking news notifications and it is set up both app and device and it’s the same way on my other device. my fox5dc app was no problem at all. […]

Great news team and good mix of local, state and national news. Best weather SkyTower app too.

There was nothing wrong with the old app but I was forced to download this disaster. when I try to open this app, it either won’t load and says “oops, something broke, other than the news”. In the off chance I do get it to load up, its still showing news from the day before […]

on this app it does not and I repeat it does not show everything that’s what’s on the TV like it just shows small bits and pieces and I leave it on here only because I like seeing the traffic news other than that I would have already erased it My apologies I love all […]

Why did we have to change to this app? The previous one worked perfectly! I have an android phone, and this app won’t send me notifications. When I watch a video it either cuts off the anchors head, or if I put it on fullscreen and turn it sideways I can see the whole person, […]

Almost an elegant app… Now it’s functional, but feels half done. Landscape as default when on a tablet is nice… Except when one exits live viewing (the only way currently is to use the player minimize button) one is greeted with a portrait layout… Also with the latest update the video stream continues when the […]

Go back to the standard app and, more importantly, how articles were written. We don’t need an AI synopsis…We clicked on the article to read. My attention span isn’t much, but it’s enough to read an article without bullet points, breakdowns, and summaries.

I can not share stories from this app, and this isn’t like the news app I’m used to. I love my local Fox 35, but this app diminishes my experience in accurate new reporting! Sad!

this app is totally stoopid. half the notifications don’t come up, and then when it does open, you can’t give your opinion in response. Fox local doesn’t care what you have to say. uninstalling.

when rotating horizontal to the live video or other videos in the app, it rotates back to the short view and won’t stay in the long view even though the phone is rotated on its side. I don’t have this problem with any other app. I have a Samsung Galaxy.

Non functional app since the big change. No longer getting notifications despite being on in both app dashboard and phone settings. Used to get several per day, but now this app no longer delivers.

Just like old app. stories are days old and in multiple sections. And no access to weather maps. Weather app is annoying and can’t turn off notifications. news stations have gotten so lazy.

The “”what we know”” and “”what we don’t know”” can go away. Just write the story. Same goes for the synopsis at the top of the page and the rest of the story below. We’re all big kids and able to sift through an article to absorb the highlights if we want

I liked the previous Fox5ny app much more. The format on this Fox Local app is terrible. The Font is too large. I don’t care for all the bullet points and it is very repetitive when reading a story. Definitely a step backwards. I understand launching a new app to put all the stations under […]

I absolutely love the way news is presented on this app as well as all the ads at the end of the articles. u have a choice to watch ads or not. Whoever came up with the set up idea had it right on the money and I am telling others how much I like […]

Used to be a big fan of the app in its original form. I also used to get 5 to 6 news notifications a day on all sort of news from central Florida; it made me feel close to home. Now, I have not gotten a single news notification since they changed app format (I […]

New user forced off my previous local channel app (which worked fine). Thus far, I can find no way to access any settings whatsoever on this app. You turn off notifications on start up and that’s it? No option to turn them back on? There doesn’t seem to be a way to share an article […]

we all need the local news app but this one, since the update to Fox Local, this app sucks the battery life out of my phone. Even doing a force stop when finished using the app. I use the app for about 10 minutes in the morning so I know which way to go to […]
