1. [R3] FOX News 3/5 · US Sleazy and disreputable ads: I follow the Fox News App closely but I’ve been put-off by a lot of your ad content, including your practice of selling ads to companies pushing hoax products and models displaying women’s underwear. Fox is a clear leader in the business so I think you can afford to show a little more class. Come on, people.
2. [R9] FOX News 3/5 · US WAY too many ads: I am getting absolutely fed up with all of the ads that constantly pop up on Fox News. Not only that, but now they put an ad banner down at the bottom of the app so every time your thumb goes down there to scroll up to the next news article, it opens up another ad! So dang frustrating!!!!!
3. [R12] FOX News 3/5 · US Need paid version: Does anyone actually click into these obnoxious ads? Accidental clicks are all that’s happening. Do you as the developers think this is effective other than people tolerating it?
4. [R15] FOX News 1/5 · US Not a news app - it’s an ad app: If you don’t mind having ads take over the entire screen with each and every news story you click on you will be fine with this app… I am not fine with it
5. [R1] FOX News 1/5 · US Not working: App does not work very upsetting, the wheel keeps spinning. This is on an Apple TV. I am unable to authenticate a cable subscription. Everything else works but live tv. This is the only app that has this problem.
6. [R2] FOX News 4/5 · US Site freeze after viewing article: Kind of annoying to have to re-open app after reading articles.
7. [R6] FOX News 3/5 · US Problems: Lately I have to keep signing in to comment or react to comments. Comments won’t load, the emoji reactions disappear, the blocking option is missing. WTHk
8. [R7] FOX News 1/5 · US Can't watch Fox on app: Keeps saying provider not authorized however, I can't find the "For You" on my iPhone app to complete the steps. Very confusing
9. [R4] FOX News 1/5 · US Just being fed hate: After Caroline Leavitt and Jesse Waters absolutely insulted my entire generation I have lost faith in Fox News.
10. [R5] FOX News 4/5 · US Better control: I can deal with the ads, they gotta make money. Nothing is free. However I really wish I could select categories. I would 100% block entertainment news. I could not care less about people I never heard of and their swimwear choices!
11. [R18] FOX News 5/5 · US Great App Love it!!!: Love your app, watch ever day!! I would just ask that you stop posting news about Taylor Swift, she is a bad influence on my grandchildren. Thanks
12. [R19] FOX News 2/5 · US Too many fonts: Too many bullets and different articles nothing to do with heading doesn't get right to article you open. Site is progressively getting sloppy and worse when they tell you that people reacted to your comments, but you don't know what comment they're talking about and can't link back to it
13. [R14] FOX News 4/5 · US ..dash: I love the app but wonder why I can no longer access the Comment area/section. I miss not being able to read others opinions and, occasionally, contributing on of my own.
14. [R22] FOX News 4/5 · US Comments are a nightmare: Often get logged out, mid-session, then need to go through multiple sign in attempts (not wrong password, bad tech) and still can’t comment or respond. Not a once off, happens regularly. Please fix
15. [R28] FOX News 5/5 · US Can’t Post: Not good
16. [R52] CNN 5/5 · US CNN: CNN provides timely news coverage and keeps me informed about important events happening around the world.
17. [R53] CNN 3/5 · US Disappointed: Since purchasing a subscription, the app now freezes while reading articles requiring me to restart the app in order to read articles; jumps backward while scrolling through articles; and goes to a black screen partway through an article which sometimes can be cleared by going backwards, but not always, and then trying to scroll forward again. I expected to have at least as good of
18. [R54] CNN 1/5 · US Pay for CNN is malfunctioning: I paid the annual fee of $29.99 but I keep getting kicked off the app. Please fix it! UPDATE: 2 years later, I continue to be kicked off the app. Fix it, please. Also, fee rose to $69.99 this year!
19. [R56] CNN 3/5 · US Paid subscription still has ads????: Thought I was subscribing to not have to deal with ads, the way subscribing at the most expensive level gets you with most other streaming services. What’s the benefit??
20. [R65] NewsBreak 1/5 · US Terrible source for news.: The headlines are always over the top and misleading. Usually notifications are for stories that are either old or irrelevant.
21. [R66] NewsBreak 5/5 · US It’s like the reader’s digest: Short articles and you can scroll headlines.. Love it..
22. [R67] NewsBreak 3/5 · US Frustrated: Too many advertisements. I keep seeing sources i don’t want to see
23. [R68] NewsBreak 1/5 · US Chock full of AI, Trumpsters & Basic Features No Longer Work: Title says it all. 99.99% of all videos on this app are made with AI and intended to deceive. Since their main audience is senile Trumpster seniors, near everyone on the app is inherently incapable of differentiating between whats genuine/real and whats not. Moreover, these ppl will bet their first born child in order to defend these v
24. [R81] The Wall Street Journal. News 3/5 · US Gift Links Don’t work.: Please fix app so I can send gift links This used to work. Now link says it copies but recipients can’t open. Sends them to subscriber/log in page.
25. [R82] The Wall Street Journal. News 2/5 · US Crossword fan: You broke the crossword with the recent update. The keyboard is not ergonomic on iPad, clues bizarrely jump around when inputting letters and the clue being answered no longer appears as a separate line. Please fix or revert to the previous iteration.
26. [R83] The Wall Street Journal. News 5/5 · US They solved the comments issue: They finally solved seeing comments in the app. Thank goodness.
27. [R87] The Wall Street Journal. News 3/5 · US So-called issue download doesn’t work: I tried to download the most recent issue before getting on a plane (which had no WiFi), but the so-called download let me read only about half the articles. Half the articles only showed an error message that I needed to have internet access. A far superior download capability was eliminated when the WSJ app was overhauled a couple of years ago. Pleas
28. [R93] USA TODAY 2/5 · US Super Slow Loading: I like the content of USA Today, but why does this app take about 20 seconds to load on my iPhone 16 when every other app loads almost instantly? Can you please do something about that?
29. [R94] USA TODAY 5/5 · US Great news all!: I look at the USA Today app everyday. It's great with tons of great articles to read daily!
30. [R96] USA TODAY 1/5 · US STOP THE ADVERTISING! AD FREE Subscription SHOULD BE AD FREE!: This is at least the 6th time I've said this. I pay for AD FREE and USA TODAY inserts ads anyway, as well as countless SHOPPING articles throughout. What a rip off! USA TODAY always shows my Ad Free Subscription as Active. Then why all the ads?
31. [R97] USA TODAY 5/5 · US The Paper that Give’s: I’ve enjoyed USA Today for over three decades, when traveling I could count on there being a paper most every where I went. The paper set many standards, starting with the color graphics. Everything was fresh and eye catching, the weather was always important. Though all content was well thought out. The articles hit home and with writers from all parts of the country. Havin
32. [R23] FOX News 1/5 · US Annoying adds: Love the app, not so much the full page adds that pop up right in the middle of reading something
33. [R98] USA TODAY 3/5 · US Subscription process nightmare: I had a subscription for unlimited access without ads for a year. Then ads started to appear. Tried contacting USAtoday but no response. So I cancelled to subscription thinking that I would wait a while and resubscribe but that didn’t work either. When I did subscribe again, they kept asking if I wanted to subscribe! Can’t win.
34. [R99] USA TODAY 1/5 · US Not Much Better than the First Tru: Am trying again, June 2026, with USA Today but once again the thing is not so hot. I pay for the ad-free version and my account says that is in effect but I had four pop-up vid ads just trying to read the news just now. The August 2017 update is absolutely horrible. Am dumping USA app as my usual daily news source. Just horrible. Why do you always think it is
35. [R101] USA TODAY 3/5 · US Ads: Lately when scrolling, the ads seem to “click” themselves and open a new window. I find it odd that it only ever happens on this app. I have paid attention to when I’m scrolling and several times it happened
