User Reviews

Overall, users praise the FOX43 Central PA News app for reliable, up-to-date local coverage and strong on-air talent. The content and anchors are frequently highlighted as positives, and many rely on the app as a main source for Central PA news and weather. However, several recurring complaints center on the app’s experience after the redesign: intrusive ads and pop-ups, a confusing navigation and user interface, and customer-facing reliability issues like the app failing to load or log in. While the news quality remains solid, performance and UX improvements are frequently requested.

Cons

Intrusive ads and pop-ups disrupt video and navigation.
New redesign is hard to use; older format was more appealing and changes feel non-intuitive.

Fox 43 recently revamped the entire app and there are many things that make it far worse than the previous version. The current newscast video is difficult to find and continually plays ads rather than showing the news that is being broadcast. Navigating the app is not clear or intuitive. Poorly done update.
