User Reviews

Users generally praise Fox8 for local news and weather access when the app is functioning, and some see value in staying informed through radar and updates. However, many reviews focus on negative issues: intrusive ads and pop-ups, data usage from those ads, frequent crashes or the app failing to open after updates, readability challenges due to large fonts and heavy media, and stale or repetitive content. Overall, the app works for some, but reliability and UX problems are consistently cited as major drawbacks.

Pros

Fox 8 is the preferred local station among competitors, indicating trust in the brand.
Some users report the app helps them stay informed about the news when functioning properly.

Cons

Excessive ads and pop-ups that block content and drive data usage.
Frequent crashes, freezes, or the inability to open the app after updates.
Poor readability due to large fonts and heavy image/video layout.
Content repetition and limited freshness; same stories reappear and archives are restricted.
High data usage from ads.

How ridiculous is this: A Popup Add blocks the middle of the screen!

Not sure what has happened to the app. During severe weather I like to be able to use app on my phone to stay up to date on radar. Not good when unable to get app to work. It worked then stopped and could not get to work while Emily was watching the storms on radar. Used to love app now not so much.
