User Reviews

The FOX59 News app is plagued by ads, crashes, and performance issues that hinder use. Live streaming often fails or isn’t live, and readability suffers due to font/layout changes. Users also report limited access to older articles after updates. While some praise is given to the underlying local news content and a minor UI improvement, the recurring problems drive many to abandon the app. The core value remains the local coverage, but usability needs significant fixes.

Pros

Underlying FOX59 news content is highly regarded by some users.
A recent UI improvement allows scrolling to the top of lists, which is appreciated.
The app serves as a local-news source for Indianapolis, providing local coverage.

Cons

Excessive ads and ad overload; ads can cause crashes and slow the device.
Live streaming is not functioning or is not live, with issues in-app and in browser.
Frequent crashes and performance problems (phone slows/overheats) due to the app and ads.
Readability and accessibility issues from font size and layout changes; difficulty adjusting text size or readability varies by article.
Inability to access older articles or see a full archive (see more older articles not working; only recent content is available).

Live stream doesn’t work in the app, nor when you pull it up in the browser. And it’s super frustrating that you can’t watch previous broadcasts from start to finish. Just the same 4-5 stories, usually 2-3 of which are meaningless sports, over and over again.
