FOX 5 DC: News & Alerts for Negative User Reviews
✓ Ok news providerI have a few concerns with this app for news. I don't see the need to receive repeated notifications for the same news story within an hour. I noticed a tad bit of media bias in regards to the story's that are shown on this app. It is quite apparent as well the author of a lot of these story's often time injects a biased undertone in the articles they write. I have noticed as well the factual innacuracies in these reporting in terms of Race- Political- Historical. Overall it's ok for news but I would definitely gain information from various sources in order to receive an accurate account..Version: 4.3.3800
✓ App faulty since last updateSince last update you open a story to read and you can read first two paragraphs and then a white screen. You have to continue scrolling down with nothing but a white screen for a long time. Eventually, you will get to the remaining part of the story..Version: 5.44.0
✓ Grossly inadequate app/Great news stationI finally had to drop my review from three stars to one. Have any of the developers actually tried to live with this app? The notifications are buggy. The alerts have problems but even when I disable these annoyances, the app is basically useless for watching the live feed. Over the past year I basically have a 15% success rate getting the live feed to work. The commercials they try and make you watch are what kill the feed. Terrible job. The fox 5 news team is amazing and I love all the anchors. I'm a true fox 5 fan but this app is suboptimal and the developers have had enough time to get it right. I'll be switching my news team now because I have to get my news someplace..Version: 4.3.3800
✓ Repeated CommercialsThe same commercial repeats in between the news. Sometimes the same commercial shown 6-7 times. It’s annoying. Need more of a variety of commercials to air so viewer doesn’t between frustrated while waiting for the LIVE news to return..Version: 5.11.0
✓ Advertisement TrapJust scroll past one the ads and it is opening on your phone. Obviously I am exaggerating, but just the simple act of scrolling can activate them multiple times while trying to scroll through the news. The Fox News app had a similar issue of super touch sensitive ads. Please adjust if unintentional or stop if intentional..Version: 5.28.0
✓ I like to watch Fox5 news while preparing for workUnfortunately, the commercials are bananas! They repeat back to back, which makes me just turn off streaming. There are some days I just work through it because I need the news. The repetitive commercials are annoying,.Version: 4.3.5201
✓ MisinformationEvery story your network puts out there only tells the end of the outcome of the situation which is sad because where the beginning of what lead to the situation matters. I am not a Republican by far but I agree FAKE NEWS & we are tired of it. Your station has a big impact on how we see our world around us! Why put fear & exaggerate the stories you broadcast. One good example of your story “13 year old gets killed” yes it’s sad why aren’t his parents not being prosecuted should be the story not the man that shot him. You see someone in the dark & taking what you have worked so hard for car or home you don’t know their intentions, people have the right to defend his/her property. So why making the situation more than what it is. If you are wondering of race I am Latino/Black so don’t think it’s a racial conflict..Version: 5.40.5
✓ Trashy with too many adsThere needs to be a site with 80% news and 30% ads, This app is like going to a link to a yahoo site, the main page suckers you into clicking, then you go to where 90% of what you see are ads. If you are very explore minded, you can dig thru the ads to find the news, might as well go to a trashy site like yahoo.Version: 5.27.0
✓ Zero stars to Fox5DC’s app developerDownloaded 60 or more days ago and almost never a able to find the content I seeking. Weather links send one upon an endless spiral to link after link, while ever suggesting one to download the app? Because, almost every link takes a user beyond the limited contents of the app. Receive steady stream of app notifications but most lead nowhere but dead links or to more suggestions to download the app... I’m deleting right after providing this review. Fox5 is a dependable news provider, this app and your web page is the opposite of dependable..Version: 4.3.4500
✓ To many adsI know they have to have the ads but sometimes the news article is five lines split by ads all over the place. Makes reading it annoying. Repeated news in two of the main sections really make it pointless to split them. (Unless they charge the ad people twice).Version: 4.3.3800
✓ AdsThe new version of the app is great, but just too many ads!. I want to click on a story and read or watch it right away, but yet have to sit through 30 secs of ads. Totally unnecessary in my opinion. I understand the business aspect of ads, but people want the news right away..Version: 5.4
✓ An app that’s crapAs others have said, you click on an alert and it opens the app but doesn’t take you to the story. The alerts also don’t generate a sound even though I’ve verified sound for the alerts are enabled. You don’t know the alert is there unless you look at your phone periodically. The app is also very cluttered with advertisements in the middle of stories. I thought the apps for the other DC TV stations were bad but this one is just as much so..Version: 5.17.0
✓ Advertising is getting out of control!Was a great app until my screen is now randomly taken over by pop-up advertisements when I’m trying to read through an article or even just to open the app. Update....The advertising has gotten even worse. The app will not auto direct you to the web page for the pop-up add even when you attempt to click on the X to close it..Version: 4.3.4500
✓ Really? Who is reviewing before posting?I love Fox 5. I’ve watched Fox 5 since I was in my early 20s. I’ve had the app for several years and have made comments about the spell check and proof reading before posting and nothing has been done. It’s amazing that Fox 5 would allow these mistakes to continue. Spelling and punctuation can really have an impact on how the public views our news. It is, also, showing the intelligence of our school system and the managers of the department. I don’t have a college degree and I catch these mistakes in almost (or is it all most) every post I read on the site. I hope Fox 5 will hire a reliable QC to fix these mistakes soon!.Version: 5.11.0
✓ Open the actual story in the actual appWhen I click on a notification the app should open the actual story that I click on not open the app then open safari to the home page. This has me searching for the story amongst all the other posts. Also, why have the app if it's just going to direct us to the internet? So I'm not only waiting for the app to open I am also waiting for safari to open. It's cumbersome..Version: 4.3.4500
✓ This app is not goodThis app is not good enough.Version: 5.34.0
✓ Love Fox 5 but not the appI have used the app for years to watch the news while getting ready in the morning; however, it has been giving me a great deal of trouble. I have had various issues in the past with its functionality, but for the past two weeks, it has gotten much worse. The app keeps shutting down just after it starts streaming. Earlier, it wouldn’t play most of the videos, but they seem to be working today, which made me think the streaming issue would also have been resolved. Nope! For some reason, the app works just fine on my husband’s much older iPad which even has less memory. My iPad and the app have all been updated, so I don’t know the cause. If someone could help me solve the problem, I would greatly appreciate it..Version: 4.3.4500
✓ Horrible layoutUpdated app last week and now it is awful. So ugly to look at. Deleting the app as it is now too difficult to see anything. Whoever designed this layout needs to be fired..Version: 5.4
