User Reviews

Multiple users report that the FOX19 Now app has become unstable and slow, with frequent crashes and freezes. Intrusive and frequent advertisements disrupt reading and video viewing, often causing blank screens when dismissing ads. The app forces video content with limited text alternatives, which many users dislike. Notifications are problematic, turning back on despite user settings, and often leading to ads and blank pages upon opening. While the news team and local content were previously appreciated, recent updates have led to widespread dissatisfaction, resulting in uninstalls and negative reviews.

Pros

The news team and on-air personalities are appreciated, notably Frank.
Provides local news coverage that was valued before recent updates.
Previously relied on for live news streaming and local updates.

Cons

App is unstable, freezes, crashes, or stops working frequently.
Excessive and intrusive advertisements, including full-page ads at app launch and during articles.
Videos often fail to play properly, resulting in black screens or forced video content without transcripts.
Notifications behavior is problematic: notifications appear even when turned off, and clicking notifications leads to ads and blank screens.
App updates have degraded user experience, causing slow loading times and a more complicated, less user-friendly interface.
