FOX 5 Atlanta: News & Alerts for Negative User Reviews

✓ Awful editing and bad interfaceThe app has a terrible and outdated user interface. The biggest complaint I have however is the journalism. I’m no journalist myself, but is there literally no editor? It’s so bad that it literally takes away from the content and leaves the reader confused. Take this excerpt from a recent story: “The robber started walking back toward the getaway car, but one of the Broner started to follow the gunman turned and fired a shot, hitting the him, police said.” This app needs a lot of work..ATLant27Version: 4.3.4200

✓ Worst version yetEvery update to this app over the last few years has made it worse than the previous one. It is hard to navigate, requiring too many clicks to get to the intended subjects. You really need to hire better user experience staff and a better QA staff. I’ll be using other apps until the next update. If it is as bad as the last, I’ll be uninstalling the app and recommending others do the same..Upset by poor appVersion: 5.6.4

✓ Way to many adsIt’s bad enough that there is always bad news on the app, but the ads become a bit disrespectful when they are slap in the middle of an article about the death or mishap of someone. I think if they have ads on the same page....make those ads at the end of the page so I don’t have to scroll down past an ad to finish reading the article..DaveV40Version: 4.3.4200

✓ Hard to find contest entryWhen I try to enter the contest online, the engine sea h takes me to the app. Though the app has a terrible issue of not taking you or guide your to where you need to enter for the morning contest. Can there be a dedicated subject line in the app to find under “contests” or something.UGA20Version: 5.29.5

✓ Get rid of Superior Plumbing adThe app hangs on the Superior Plumbing ad and doesn’t load any time the app is launched from a push notification. Also, it’s about time to allow users to multitask and watch videos while doing other things on their devices..Crucian06Version: 5.28.0

✓ Too many adsI always watch fox 5 but this app is a step above the rest in terms of advertising they shove down your throat. Download freely if you want to be greeted with an add the second you open it, even before you get the fox 5 logo. Then you get an ad in between every other news story. They even put ads everywhere else they can stick them on every inch of your screen while you are trying to read. Just take my advice and avoid this app for your own sanity..TheNgbakaVersion: 5.39.0

✓ NotificationsPlease improve the notifications. I would like to control what kind of stories I’m notified of. I really only want traffic and weather. I didn’t really appreciate being notified of the score of the SEC championship. The notification could have just said that the game was over and swipe for the results. SMH.AplJckVersion: 5.10.0

✓ I like the app, but the notification links never workEvery time I get a notification and want to click it to read the story it’s talking about, I get taken to the home page, and that story isn’t even there. Even if it’s a relatively recent notification. It’s getting frustrating to the point that I’m going to start leaning on other local news apps..Kyle_with_clothesVersion: 5.30.0

✓ Go back to previous version!!The previous version was the easiest of my local news apps to open, and the one I checked first in the day because it worked in the LTE my phone shifts to in the far reaches of my apartment. This “updated “ version is as difficult to load as the other local news apps. I am not interested in fluff, especially before my first cup of coffee. Your app basically forced this update on me without being able to wait and read the updated reviews. Not amused. My shift to screen 3 from my home page if this isn’t fixed..Mt S LVersion: 5.6.4

✓ Love fox 5 Atlanta but the ads are annoyingI don’t even live in Atlanta no more but Fox 5 keeps me up to date with the news and what’s going on where a lot of my family still lives...only problem I have is every time I load up the app there is an add that pops up and stays for a few seconds!! Stop this ad from happening and get 5 stars from me.Its me BrandonVersion: 4.3.4200

✓ Sluggish and Painful to useI’m a big Fox fan but your app needs a lot of work. It is sluggish and filled with too many ads and other aggravating content. I avoid opening it from a notification because it is so painful to use. Please improve the performance..Pa_PhilVersion: 4.3.4200

✓ App MalfunctionWhen getting news notifications and clicking the notifications the app populates and buffers for sometime minutes at a time before loading then it does not go to the news article which initially lead you to the app. It’s very frustrating to get the latest news when the app is not working properly..Sour patchesVersion: 5.29.5

✓ FOX5 AtlantaI try not to read the news on your app because it always either takes me out to a separate internet site or to Facebook which I do not use. I usually check to see if WSB has anything in their app for the same news story & I use it first. Your Weather app is much better than the WSB weather app, but your news leaves much to be desired for the user..Bruluck21Version: 4.3.4200

✓ One MAJOR ComplaintMy major complaint lies in a specific news story notification. The news story pops up... I click on the link. You’d think I’d be taken directly to the news item I was notified about. Nope. I have to scroll... and scroll... and scroll... and get agitated because I can’t find the specific news item. I don’t want to plough through a plethora of other stories, especially if my time is limited. Aarrgghh!!! I’ll up the rating if this is fixed..Kimmie5659Version: 5.20.0

✓ Who I prefer reading news opposed to watching it.This news app is ok. At least I’m aware of current events. I’d prefer to watch them on live t.v. The reason I don’t is because every story (weather also) is dragged out over most of the program. For instance , “we are in for a change in the weather, stayed tuned to find out what it is you need to plan for.” I find this frustrating. I have a limited time to hear what’s happening locally. Therefore , it’s easier to read about it (through this ) and other sources than to tune in and watch it on TV. -I would rather watch it. I spend too much time on devices at work as it is. - Mike I. Atlanta , Ga..Mike I. , O4WVersion: 4.3.4200

✓ Fox 5 is the bestI enjoy everything about it from the weather to the news on the t v to the tablet Fox 5 is my go to for the news the morning on fox 5 tell s me what to expect as far as the traffic to the weather and the news at 4:30 am and the last thing I listen to before I go to bed thanks fox 5 for all you do to make my life better.Chee,sVersion: 4.3.4200

✓ Worst app for iPhoneThis app is garbage! It locks up on the opening advertisement just spinning. No matter whether I open from a notification or from my Home Screen it will not open past the advertisement. This is on a brand new iPhone 13. I’ve deleted reloaded updated and it’s the same issue! Someone is clearly asleep at the wheel!.TimvasiVersion: 5.29.5
