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......

I am a long-term user of your app. Since the February 2024 update, there does not seem to be a way to save articles. I have been resorting to emailing them to myself. Will the save article method be getting restored? Other than that, I like the app. Thank you!

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

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.
