User Reviews

User reviews for FOX4 News KC on iOS focus on a negative experience dominated by ad overload, poor navigation, and unstable performance. Common complaints include intrusive ads, difficulty resuming reading after opening a story, slow loads and crashes, and livestream sign-in friction. Some users note value in emergency alerts and live broadcasts, and a few praise certain hosts, but the overall sentiment is negative.

Pros

Emergency alerts are useful in the app.
Live video/broadcast content available on iPhone (watch/listen).
Some users praise specific on-air hosts (e.g., Crystal) for personable delivery.

Cons

Excessive, intrusive ads (including loud and video ads) that disrupt reading.
Poor navigation/UX: difficult to browse, returning from an article often takes you to the top/home, and you can't resume where you left off.
Performance issues: slow loading, frequent crashes/freezes, and video overlays that obscure text.
Livestream access friction: watching live often requires a login, and sign-in flows can break out of the app.
Content issues: stories are outdated, biased, or redirected to advertisers; overall update frequency is inconsistent.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP FOR NEWS IN KANSAS CITY Clumsy navigation, slow loading articles, horrible user interface. Navigating between news stories is beyond cumbersome. This app is just a horrible internet browser that slowly loads the articles. The homepage displays the first (most recent) news stories. At the end of this short list is a “load more” button that shows you more articles. So far so good, right? Not even close. So this is how it plays out: when you finish reading an article and go back to the list of stories, it takes you back to the homepage with the initial listing of five or so articles. So you scroll down and hit the “load more” button to see the next few stories. Loading another five at a time. Then the process repeats itself when you click into another article and return to the initial listing. You’re back to the homepage with the initial five stories. Oh and don’t forget everytime you return to the homepage it leaves you at bottom of the page so you end up scrolling back to where the end of the article list is to load the stories again. Rinse and repeat. Pretty sure this was coded by middle school students. Keep up the great work kids!

I’ve downloaded and deleted this app multiple times. It’s difficult to find news stories because the screen is so cluttered with ads. The stories I look for are often videos rather than text that I can read. The video commercials on a tiny viewing area surrounded by click bait ads. Disappointing.

Seriously? You need an account to watch the livestream after 5 minutes. What? I shouldn’t need to login to an account to watch free news. Especially during severe weather.
