All links from push notifications are invalid. Ads that pop up cannot be closed out. This app is trash.
The story I click on on main page of the business site does not take me to the correct site. And just try and find a link to contact support to report problems. Live Update: Oil recoups losses, new gas record... This happens a lot. Not just first time
You get an article in your news feed, but when you click to read it the landing page is a different article.
When I sign in with my cable provider, I am still unable to watch live tv. And yes I do have valid subscriptions.
I am retired from the IT industry. When I open your app, I want to immediately see, in chart form, this data for each of the DOW, NASDAQ and the S&P: Numeric level, current numeric change and the current percentage up or down. I don't want to have to wait for it to scroll, one by one, across the top. Until you adjust your app to provide that, I will continue to use the CNBC app to get this information in a timely manner.
If you like ads you will love this app. Just as bad as TV that runs 3 minutes content then 4 minutes of comericerals.
Edit: App is unusable in any practicle way. As you scroll down the list of articles, it just hangs up to the point to where you cam no longer scroll. Quite possibly the poorest news-based app on the market. Sad to say, deleting. Slow, slow, slow! App barely scrolls as if its constantly trying to load data. Has been this way since inception. Gotta do better than this, Fox News!
Article are constantly refreshing so that the screen will not scroll smoothly. it is so jumpy and slow finding articles in the list is so frustrating that I end up closing the spp. the font us too small and the gray color is very hard to read. the app needs a setting for font size like Fox News app. Add tabs to select only text articles. There is already a video tab, and there are times when reading is possible but video and audio are inappropriate.
Over time this app has gotten more and more sluggish, even on my phone which is high end, and fast connection and reasonably current Android version (9). I've noticeabled noticed the sluggishness of scrolling has been increasing for over a year. I'm to the point I skip using the app to read anything, I used to be a daily reader. For the past 3+ months I've stopped altogether because it's so bad. Clear the cache, and wiping and reloading the phone has no impact. It's to sluggish with scroll now.
Site has become useable since around Nov 25. Unable to get past "unblock your ad blocker" and have tried everything. After allowing virtually everything on this site (Allow ads, turn off ad blocker) - until I can figure out how to correct this access blocking - I have removed it as one of my default browser pages.
Good articles, horrible interface. The ads are slow to load and more than half of the time when I click to read more of the article it thinks I pressed on an ad and opens it. When I close the ad it then takes me back tti the main page and I have to start all over.
Apps work for a few weeks, then I suddenly get a pop-up that says "Not authorized to use. Check with your service provider." This also happens with the Fox News app. And I do subscribe to a streaming TV service (Fubo) so so I am indeed authorized to use it. Very frustrating.
App Functionality: Occasionally, stories would fail to load. Restarting app would fix issue, but it was becoming far too common, for me. Reporting/Articles: Seemingly little variety in reporting/news stories. COVID tied to almost every article. After a little while, found myself reading headlines more than the articles.
The app used to be good, now it's a total garbage, each time I click on a headline to read the full story it says 'Unfortunately, something went wrong...' It's shocking that news organization like Fox doesn't have a decent app. I guess I'll stick to CNBC. And no, there is nothing wrong with my network/connection as all other news app I use work fine. REPLY to the developer: ask your technical team to use the app for a week or two and I'm pretty sure that they'll come across of all the 'Unfortunately, something went wrong...' articles. Don't ask me to do the dirty job for them. Aside from that I do appreciate your reply.
Advice to the users: just go to the web based home page for Fox Business through your browser, click 3 dots at top right and add to your home screen because this app is trash. There's a spinning circle at bottom of page constantly trying to load next story when scrolling through topics. This is the first news app that Ive downloaded ever to load like this. Fox Business, you need to contact the Fox News app developer and have them create a new app for you. This one is terrible and unusable.
The sheer volume of issues on this app is laughable. The bugs, lagging, and many other problems make for a highly user unfriendly app. I do not know what I was even expecting, considering every othe fox app I have used has had the same problems. A frustrating waste of time that I would give 0 stars if I could...
Once again this app also doesn't work properly. First of all it glitches out so badly every single time I click an article it takes me to some random story I have never seen before and that is when it "works" most of the time I can't even get the app to open I am very disappointed.
Honestly, I'm just so done with all these fox apps. They're all buggy, they take forever to download, they eat up battery life quicker than any apps I've ever had, I usually can't even open them after a while of having them, they make my phone glitch out to the point of having to restart my phone multiple times, and from what I've seen, the content isn't even good. Please don't waste your time with any of these apps.
I swear, the more of these apps I get, the more frustrated I'm feeling. None of these work even remotely well, same problems as with the other two. Nothing's loading in right, the layouts all choppy, Its just like a programming error as one big app! Not user friendly, not helpful, not fast. Absolutely awful.
I watch FB all the time, any chance I get. It stops playing on my Android, had an s6 and it did it about 90% of the time. I now have an s10 plus and it's doing it. I quit. It plays the commercial....of course.....then when the video starts it will play about 15 seconds of it.
It says in the update that the bugs are fixed, yet I see no changes? I can't search up anything I want without issues, and videos play itself even though I haven't clicked on it. I'm gonna assume this app is haunted, and I don't mess with haunted things. Won't be downloading again.
Not ready for prime time. Main screen pops up without issue but most of the time I get a "Failed to Load" notice when I click on the stories. In regards to content, most headlines are clickbait style. "This congressman called the cops when he found out this." Note to Fox, if your headline ends with the word "this," it's not journalism.
I really liked this app. We got a new internet service and a new streaming service, TDS. Finally able to watch FOX Business away from the tv. Then BOOM, about a week ago I could no longer open the WATCH function. Cannot view now. I had uninstalled and today tried again but no luck. Could not find any support from FOX. We have Samsung A12 phones. And it began working again for about a week but only lasted for 3-4 days. Now back to not working. CANNOT watch again. Downgrading my stars to TWO...
Bad app it consistently crashes and drains my phone battery. I tried to use it for about a month but it is just impossible to use. Out of all the news apps I've tried this is the worst by far. Don't waste your time on this app, CNN's app is far superior and way less buggy.
Live TV/Videos from FBN now showing up but still not playing. (Red circle appears instead of live TV/video playback) I have no issues getting live TV/videos from Fox News to play on Fox News App. Thank you!
