For the most part, I love this app. I’ve been using it for many years. The stories are always up to date, and the user interface is very well put together. Here’s the problem: no matter how new my phone is (currently it’s the iPhone XS), this app freezes almost every time I open it for the first time after clearing clearing out my background apps; which I do almost hourly to free up system resources. It usually works after I close it, clear the app, and then reopen it, but gets a little tiresome. It typically freezes on the feed screen, but sometimes I’ll open a story and it will freeze as I begin to scroll down.If this issue gets resolved, I will update my rating to 5 stars. Thanks guys!

I am writing to report recurring issues with the FOX 31 app on my iPhone. The app crashes consistently whenever I watch a newscast and it transitions to a commercial break. This happens every day without fail. I have confirmed that my internet connection is stable and that other apps function properly, so the issue appears to be specific to the FOX 31 app on iPhone.In addition, the broadcasts are frequently cut off early for commercials, and when the program returns, it often resumes halfway through a segment. This makes it difficult to follow the news and is becoming increasingly frustrating, especially when I am unable to use my Apple TV, where the app does not experience these problems.

I’m just trying to read the news and the ads have gotten so bad that there’s a “feel free” that pops open multiple times while you read a story. I tried for a few days to scroll without accidentally clicking on it, but it still happens. I think I have had this app as long as I have had an iPhone, so maybe like 17 years and I’m deleting it because I’m tired of having to close windows I didn’t intentionally open. Also, whatever “feel free” is, yeah I’ve heard about it now, but I will never ever buy it if that’s your strategy. I will try again in a month or two and see if it’s fixed.

This app used to be clunky, have horrible ui, and be pretty much a dedicated vessel for serving you ads (with news tucked in between the ads).This latest version is an even worse experience for the user. I don’t know how they managed to make this even worse than they did before.My least favorite new feature is that clicking into stories causes the app to send you into your web browser to shady advertising sites. The app literally kicks you out to external advertising sites in addition to the in app ad content.The articles are peppered with ads, the videos walked by them.Fake paid news stories a spread out amongst the real content in an increasingly higher ratio. The app stops/pauses whatever you are listening to at the time even tho they are read only sometimes. So You have to stop listening to anything else before opening this. Often articles are mentioning photos or to watch a video and the content mentioned in the headline isn’t even in the article.This app is becoming a bigger and bigger pile of hot garbage each release.
