FOX 6: Milwaukee News & Alerts for Negative User Reviews
✓ Not User FriendlyThe new updated version of the app makes it so hard to catch up on anything that hasn’t happened in the last 6 hours!.Version: 5.18.1
✓ FOX6 has become too Liberal and one sidedFOX6 was my favorite news app, newscast every day on ya and best weather app, but they have become too liberal and one sided that I will be deleting my FOX6 apps and will watch another news channel. You need to stay neutral if you want to maintain all viewers.Version: 5.18.2
✓ App always crashesI receive alerts, once I click on it- it crashes . Never takes you to the news . They a promoting the app on the TV but it does not seem to be managed ..Version: 5.27.0
✓ Glitchy videosThe same two Chevy and aurora commercials are played at the beginning of each video which are very glitchy most of the time, some freeze up at the very beginning and if you refresh you need to view the same commercial again before it freezes up again.Version: 5.36.0
✓ Nope!Too confusing! Liked it when I could just scroll through the news! Too much like 4 and 12. Why I used channel 6 for the news stories I wanted to read! Guess I really just need the weather!.Version: 5.17.0
✓ Outdated NewsThis app should reflect only current news, not news from many days ago. Create a news archive if you want to keep the stories. Example, there are multiple headlines of “Covid Cases and Deaths”, sometimes right above or below the other one with no date on them until you open the news item..Version: 5.37.0
✓ AbysmalFar worse than the old app - something I didn't think possible. Loaded with ads and the same few stories repeating in each "category". Get your news anywhere else, because you'll find little of it here. Frustration in abundance, though..Version: 5.17.0
✓ NoNewsIsBadNewsUseless to try to watch the news live...it often randomly switches to ads or the traffic cams in the middle of news stories. This always happens during what should be the sports segment, too...are there regulations preventing them from showing sports over the app, or...? And most of the time it just never switches back. If I wanted to watch the traffic cam, I’m sure there’s a separate app for that. I’d like to actually watch the news broadcast, please..Version: 5.18.1
✓ Not very organizedThe new app doesn’t seem to be organized very well. I log on every night to get the days news. The feed is always a combination of a few new stories and lots of older stories, sometimes days old, sprinkled in. It then repeats the same stories while scrolling several times. Makes it look like you don’t have much new news every day..Version: 5.18.1
✓ TerribleThe old app was so much better. According to most of the reviews, I am not the only one who thinks this. Nothing has changed with this app since it was created. No new news stories, can’t search for older stories, same stories when you scroll the app. Does anyone who created this app ever look at the reviews?.Version: 5.24.0
✓ Meh...Trying showing some better pictures along with the super brief , barely one paragraph articles. Also ads inhibit app functionality to the point where you just want to close the app. JUNK..Version: 5.26.9
✓ Watch LiveI use the app because I no longer get reception to watch Fox 6 news where I live. However, the live news is often interrupted with 511 live feed or with commercials. Right in the middle of the live news. I’d like to say this is new. However, I have been experiencing these issues for over 5 years. Not positive If the app is causing this or if it’s human error. Though since it’s happening in the app I’m rating this app with a 1 star. Love the news. Cant stand the app..Version: 5.24.0
✓ Why Traffic Cams Pop Up during Live News? .Why does the live traffic cams pop up during or even before the live coverage and stay there and the News never appear. It never comes on..Version: 5.28.0
✓ Not as good as previous applNo search bar. Has repetitive news when you scroll thru. More advertisements. Use the website instead of app..Version: 5.18.1
✓ Yeah, horribleYou will like this upgrade if you like ads and ads disguised as “sponsored content”. As you scroll down, stories that apparently they really, really want you to read repeat (this was also a problem with the old app). Does anybody actually click on the ads, other than accidentally? Sad at what that media’s attempt to share the “news” has turned into..Version: 5.38.0
✓ Junk notificationsThis app used to send notifications of actual news items. Now I have alerts asking me “how many pillows do you use?” and “how close is too close when driving?” I’m deleting it and looking for a better news app..Version: 5.24.0
✓ Perfect App for those who enjoy trivial news updatesIf I had a nickel for every push alert I received from this app, I’d be upgrading iPhones on a bimonthly basis. Seriously. There appears to be no editorial oversight on the “newsworthiness” of their push alerts. News alerts have ranged from covering the serious/important (like an active shooter situation or a declared winner for an important government office) to the completely non-important. This app is annoying and I’m getting rid of it..Version: 5.21.0
✓ Multiple server errorsThe new updated version of this app is constantly dropping the connection with a “server error” which appears to be on their end which is very annoying, cannot reload live feed unless you close the app and reopen. needs work Here we are a month later and I still have to rate this app Number One for server errors.Version: 5.19.2
✓ Miss the old appToo many stories are posted multiple times in my feed. I miss the search option and option to save stories..Version: 5.18.2
✓ Fox 6 news app on my phoneOn Monday I’m reading about different locations for various shootings in Milwaukee. One location was listed as Monroe and Western. That’s impossible. I think you need to do a better job of rereading or proofreading the news stories.Version: 5.34.5
✓ ScreenI wish the app had Picture in Picture mode so I can change screens and still watch it 🙇🏽♀️.Version: 5.45.0
✓ Need a search optionIt would be great to have a keyword search option. So if we want to look for something that we “heard” about we can see if you did a story on it.Version: 5.17.0
✓ Nope.Look. I realize you think people are stupid. But *THIS* newly formulated app? Is the most ridiculous segmentation of news I've ever encountered! Who needs to read the same news story 9 times in a row??!! Please stop. People simply want to know what is happening in their corner of the world. They DO NOT need to be pummeled with the exact same horribleness 9 times--as they scroll through your app--because you need to give the impression: THERE'S A LOT OF NEWS GOING ON OUT THERE! Please reformat. Just tell the people what they need and want to know--without treating your readers (and headline subjects) like idiots..Version: 5.18.1
✓ Where are all the news stories?The old app was just fine. Now when I scroll down to look at all the news all I see is 4 or 5 stories! Really? I know that there is a lot more news to report. Very disappointed. I will give it a week or so and then probably delete and find a better local news app..Version: 5.17.0
✓ Old App Was BetterThe old Fox 6 app was much better I could set the options on finding out the news in my neighborhood it’s always good to know what’s going on around you at all times I just like the other app better this one isn’t that helpful.Version: 5.18.2
✓ IndirectWhen I get alerts about a particular story, I’ll click on the alert, but the app never goes directly to the story. It just goes to the main page of the app. The previous app version didn’t have this issue. Previous version worked better. It’s annoying because once I’ve clicked on it in my alerts, it disappears..Version: 5.19.2
✓ The old app was betterI liked being able to save the stories in favorites area. Plus the news feed has a lot of repeating stories. I might just delete this app..Version: 5.17.0
✓ New App, bad infoSo I just watch the SAME cricket news story for three THIRD time in the last week or so. I went to the app to send some feedback and the email addresses within the app are ‘invalid’. After 35 years, Looks like it is time for a change for multiple reasons!.Version: 5.18.2
✓ New app 10x worse - click bait + errorsUpdated review June 2023 “TRENDING” links on pages are old old old. They rarely change for months. I just read 2 articles and saw 3 obvious spelling errors. No way to contact the station besides calling or emailing. And the ads are possibly more intrusive than when I wrote my first review several years ago (below) Original review Often only the first 1-2 paragraphs of an article appear, and photos shown on the opening page aren’t in the actual article. Between that and the unbelievable amount garbage click-bait ads, the app is almost useless. The amount of spelling errors and other mistakes is atrocious. There used to be a link where you could tell someone of an error - that’s gone with this new, gigantic-ly corporate, non-local app. What is the point of this? To inform the local public about anything at all, or just to make money from crap ads about fake things? Milwaukee needs good people, good reporting, good anything. This app is basically useless..Version: 5.45.0
✓ New Fox6 appTerrible! The old app was much better. I don’t know why you would change. It looks too much like 4 & 12 app. I don’t use their app & now I guess I won’t use yours. Please change it back. Thanks.Version: 5.17.0
✓ Don’t change storiesNeed to update stories more often. It is 10/1 and I am still looking at a story from 9/11 with a picture of a parade float that wasn’t such a good idea to start with..Version: 5.27.0
✓ HateI hate this app please bring the old one. I’m begging. 🥺 Where is the search engine, where are the rest of the articles. The old app had more stories. The new app look is nice but it needs more articles and the search engine. Take tips from Chicago app news app..Version: 5.17.0
✓ Ready to look elsewhere for newsRepeat, repeat, repeat. The same story 3 times. Many stories have been on there for days. If i didn’t read it the first time i’m not going to read it the next time. This app makes no sense. Looks like i’m going to have to look elsewhere for my daily news. You need to rethink what you did and find a new format. VERY FRUSTRATED!!!!!!.Version: 5.18.1
✓ This app is terrible.The old Fox 6 app was so much better. It was clear, concise and organized. This one is a jumble and a mess. Tons of ads and the same stories are displayed over and over. Not even worth using this app. Fox 6 app used to be my morning go to for local news. Now I can’t stand looking at it. Too bad..Version: 5.18.1
✓ Decent news coverage, annoying plea to enable ad trackingFox 6's news coverage is about equal to the other Milwaukee area news stations, the app runs better than WISN 12's, and the ads aren't too bad, just regular local news stuff. However, if you have ad tracking disabled, it asks you to re-enable it every time you open the app. Not a deal breaker, but man it's annoying for those of us who want to preserve their privacy..Version: 5.40.0
✓ Terrible news appThis update is more of a downgrade! Not as many articles, no longer able to bookmark saved news, and no search function. Why would anyone consider this an update. Find a different local news app. Hopefully they have another “update” soon that will make it more like the old version!.Version: 5.17.0
✓ Lousy UpgradeThe old app was much better. Of all the TV apps in Milwaukee, I liked Fox 6 the best. Until now. Less good content. More fluffy filler and a display that abruptly ends after scrolling down a few pages. What? Was that all the news today? Apparently it is in the Fox 6 world..Version: 5.17.0
✓ Repeats same story links many times.I think this app is designed like most news apps to get people to click so they get paid on the ads. It is less about news and more about Clickbait. But most phone apps are designed this way. I still use it because there’s not any better app, they’re all mediocre at best..Version: 5.17.0
✓ TerribleThis new design is terrible. Every time I view it, multiple times a day it shows the same crap. Nothing new, no breaking news. I get more news through Facebook then your app is delivering to your viewers!! I have been on and off of here to see the news and it has been the same stuff AL DAY!! Something is WRONG!! Here it is 10pm and the most recent news is anywhere from 1-9 hours ago??.Version: 5.17.0
✓ No search featureI don’t like that there’s not a search option to be able to find new stories. As a result I end up going to other new sources to try to find those stories that I’m interested in reading.Version: 5.17.0
