User Reviews

Users frequently complain that FOX19 NOW auto-plays videos and ads, with little ability to disable audio. The experience is hampered by intrusive ads, frequent bugs, and a poor update that degrades navigation. Many report a persistent red notification badge they can’t clear and a weak search function that makes finding past stories difficult. Some mention content remains useful, but overall sentiment remains negative. The pattern is framed as usability and monetization headaches rather than a reliable local-news tool.

Pros

Provides access to local news and alerts.
Some users still find the app useful for quick news checks despite issues.

Cons

Autoplay of videos and audio cannot be turned off or muted.
Intrusive ads and frequent full-screen ads interrupt articles.
Recent update degraded navigation and usability; many want the old version back.
Persistent red notification badge cannot be cleared.
Poor search function and difficulty locating older stories.

The alert is that tomorrow’s commute may be disrupted due to a fire. After sitting through the app commercial there is no such story. Of course, this is expected by the channel that interrupts new broadcasts of Jeopardy and 25 words or less to bring us news about the Bengals that nobody cares about.
