User Reviews

Reviewers praise FOX 17 West Michigan News for its easy, intuitive interface and as a reliable go-to source for local news, weather, and sports with loyal users. However, multiple complaints focus on stability issues (crashes, freezes, and unreliable live video), disruptive ads and pay-to-remove ads that do not resolve the problem, perceived bias in reporting, and content gaps (stale/duplicate stories and missing or empty local feeds). A few users also report readability issues in dark mode.

Pros

Easy to use and intuitive layout/navigation.
Reliable local news, weather and sports updates; serves as a go-to source for many users.
Strong user loyalty; many reviewers call it the go-to or best news app.

Cons

Frequent stability issues, including crashes, freezing, and unreliable live video/feeds.
Intrusive ads and monetization frustrations, including paying for ad-free not solving the problem.
Perceived bias and lack of neutral coverage (omitted events, inconsistent fact-checking).
Content quality problems like stale/duplicate stories and missing local feeds.

Your app is terrible! Old stories and posts keep getting recycled with new times! Readers want real-time news. Not 3-4 day old stories! Time to delete this app!
