There are recurring privacy concerns and friction from login requirements, even as a core group remains loyal to Fox News content and has used the app for years. Overall, content trust is there for some, but ad-heavy UX and reliability issues dominate the feedback. ### Pros - Brand loyalty: some users express positive sentiment toward Fox News content and trust in the brand (e.g., 'I love fox' and 'News that's honest!!'). - Long-term usage: a number of reviewers have been using the app for years (e.g., 'I've been using this app for over 7 years to watch Fox News'), indicating sustained reliance on the app for Fox News access. - Overall brand access: despite issues, the app remains a go-to way for some users to watch Fox News content over time. ### Cons - Intrusive ads and pop-ups disrupt reading: ads auto-opening while scrolling or tapping, full-screen ads, and ads that are hard to close are repeatedly mentioned. - App instability and performance problems: frequent crashes, unresponsive scrolling, slow loads, and lip-sync/audio-video issues in streams. - Notification and article navigation problems: too many notifications, tapping a notification often fails or opens the wrong story, and some content requires login to read. - Access and privacy concerns: widespread ad behavior and data collection raise privacy concerns; some users report ads/opening external content without clear prompts or consent. - Login and account friction: users report mandatory login to read articles and issues with re-authenticating across sections, hindering easy access to content. ## Similar extensions and apps - [Breaking News for Fox News](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.universal.breakingfoxnews) — 241,697 users, 3.53 / 5 - [ABC News: Breaking News Live](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.abc.abcnews) — 7,498,829 users, 3.25 / 5 - [Breaking News: US & World](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.breakingnews.globalalerts) — 274 users - [FOX One: Live News, Sports, TV](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.fox.foxone) — 3,188,524 users, 4.28 / 5 - [Daily News: Breaking & Latest](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.wiki.knowshare) — 69,038 users, 5.00 / 5 - [CNN: Live & Breaking News](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.cnn.mobile.android.phone) — 66,111,592 users, 4.28 / 5 - [Daily News: Breaking & Local](https://chrome-stats.com/d/tech.livestate.dailynews) — 44,790 users - [US TV : News, Live TV & Radio](https://chrome-stats.com/d/us.tv.live) — 1,822 users - [Fast News: Daily Breaking News](https://chrome-stats.com/d/it.pinenuts.rassegnastampa) — 3,510,848 users, 4.18 / 5 - [Local News: Weather & Breaking](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.liked.livenews) — 2,260,809 users, 4.44 / 5 - [Breaking News Brief - US News](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.breakingnewsbrief.app) — 2,093,585 users, 4.18 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.foxnews.android)
