Love Fox 8 news. It's not run by a political party. They state the truth without twisting it.

When I open the app, it says update. When I tap update, it goes to Google Play. When I press open, it goes back to update

Why is news anchors always have to act silly on the air. Just get to the news. Also, why don't Stephanie let the viewers know about her husband. How he is doing. I think the viewers would like to know. Stacy let us know about what was happing with her. My heart goes out to all the families......

While I was reading an article it suddenly went to this page. I'm not happy.

The Mr. Hero ad that frequently covers the whole screen when I first open the app doesn't always load now, so I cant click off of it, so I just have to close the app and restart it in hopes the ad won't pop up again. The embedded image galleries never load. So for articles that include photos I never get to see the photos. I turned off all video functions because the ads would stop any music I was playing, and I have the app because I want to read the news, not watch videos about it.

Update. The APP won't open without an update, I click on update, and it says open, I open, and it tells me to update!!!!!!!

I used to like the Fox 8 News app because you can watch it live. Now it just troubles. Why would you change it if it wasn't broken.
