1. [R8] WHIO News 5/5 · US I love this app: Even if I can't watch the news it will still let me listen I like that feature and I love all the channels you can watch on the app.
2. [R14] WHIO News 5/5 · US News Notion: Great coverage on a daily basis.
3. [R68] FOX News 5/5 · US Fox News: Love Fox News get top news everyday first thing I do at 4 am see what’s going on The crew is funny great group of people it makes my day before I have to go to work
4. [R94] FOX News 5/5 · US Disappointing tabloid content: The app doesn’t enable adjusting my news feed to the type of news I prefer. For instance, I have no interest in celebrities nor swim suit updates but the typical feed contains numerous pieces on both. The app would be more useful if it allowed a way to customize my feed.
5. [R4] WHIO News 1/5 · US Horrible UI/UX and News Coverage: As a mobile developer I can attest to many of the comments on the user experience front. You receive a notification, tap on it, you are brought to the app but not the story, instead ads are everywhere takes forever to load and the auto playing of unrelated content is absolutely horrible. Good luck finding the arrival of the deep link isn’t valid. Don’t waste your
6. [R21] WHIO News 3/5 · US App is glitchy: App is glitchy. Freezes and stutters. Videos are spotty and often won’t play, or play double with slightly offset audio.
7. [R64] 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.
8. [R79] FOX News 2/5 · US Worst app: I find it asks me to sign in so often.Last time it said app sign not working?It is tne only app I have which does not work smoothly..And at times the speech does not synch…..I love fox but have endless problems with it
9. [R6] WHIO News 3/5 · US Average performance app: The app often paints the screen in a stuttering manner, loading some elements, then stalling out, then loading more text and photos, if it doesn’t freeze entirely. It makes you wonder if it’s loaded with all sorts of background scripts, trackers, etc.
10. [R40] WHIO News 2/5 · US App won’t launch: Over the last 2 to 3 weeks, I received an “App Could Not Be Started” error. I have deleted and reinstalled the app and I still get the same error. I loved the app prior to this.
11. [R107] FOX News 2/5 · US App freezes all the time: App just freezes on its own too often. Forces me to close app to get past the freeze. Appears to be related to new header and footer adds
12. [R120] FOX News 1/5 · US App update: Why did you change the app? I now get an error message and told to contact provider.
13. [R1] WHIO News 1/5 · US Worst news app ever: I’ve never seen a worse app on any platform. It’s nothing but ads that block what you try to see, stutter, stop you reading a story, and just generally get in the way of anything you want to do. Whio used to be my go-to. Not anymore.
14. [R31] WHIO News 1/5 · US Too Many Ads: Sad that you have to sit through minutes of ads before you can actually get a weather forecast. I never actually got through the ads to see my forecast. Seek weather info elsewhere.
15. [R69] 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!!!!!
16. [R102] FOX News 1/5 · US The Ads!: For a company like fox to have such invasive and jarring ads is ridiculous. I’m going to move to another source to read my news every morning. Expedia is the craziest ad because it rips you out of the app and into a browser. Then when you close that tab and go back to the fox app, bam! Another ad in your face. I spend more time fighting off ads than reading the news.
17. [R3] WHIO News 3/5 · US Update: Often you run stories that are old. Same with the weather. I suggest you update more often. Thank you.
18. [R11] WHIO News 4/5 · US It has developed some bugs: It used to be great, but now, I can’t forward any articles on the app to anyone, and the videos don’t work half the time.
19. [R98] FOX News 4/5 · US Live TV watching: Cannot watch live TV feed. I get a Not Authorized message saying contact your provider. I have to go on Safari to foxnews.com and then I can log into Xfinity. If I go back to this app, I get the same message. I have no problem going back to Safari and watching there. IPad or iPhone, makes no difference.
20. [R100] FOX News 1/5 · US Frustrating: Sometimes it says I'm not authorized to view content. Ugh!
21. [R61] FOX News 2/5 · US Merchandise: Three times I bought clothing and hats from ads on the app. These products were extremely cheaply made with extremely shoddy materials. The actual product looks nothing like the pictured product. Several other products, from nasa engineers designed A/c to miracle medical products have been proven ineffective and outright fraudulent. I’m forced to delete and go with another media outle
