User Reviews

Users praise the local FOX8 news coverage and informative content, but the most frequent complaints are update failures, app not opening/crashing, article interaction problems, and UI glitches. A few mention improvements after fixes. Live video availability is also a concern due to missing Plus option.

Pros

Local/NC FOX8 news coverage and city-specific content.
Informative content with lots of information about local news and weather.
Some users express love or positive sentiment toward the app (e.g., 'Love this app', 'wonderful station', 'I like FOX8').
Some reviewers note that recent fixes improved usability.

Cons

Frequent update prompts and update failures; many users report 'update required' with no available update option and needing to uninstall/reinstall.
App crashes, won't open, or freezes, sometimes when trying to view articles.
Clicking on articles can fail (tinted overlay preventing taps, or opening a different article).
UI/UX issues such as tiny text, black/blank screens, and excessive pop-ups.
Live-news watching is hindered by missing 'Plus' option on some platforms or limitations.
