Fox 40 News App

Well-balanced news reports, easy to navigate, and an interesting selection of articles. Their on-air reports are also very informative.

Good news - Horrible App
02/02/2018

The reason I’ve used this app for so long is because it’s got good local news. The reason I’m deleting it now is because it’s a horrible app design. First, They post the very same ad into every single article. That’s to say, there’s only one advertiser that is getting their product displayed! In giving hundreds of ad feedbacks that I keep seeing the same ad and that I’m not interested in their product, I get a Google acknowledgement and then it pops it back on again. Next, the app is full of fake news stories that lead you to articles that FOX never wrote. Last, The real FOX news stories are so few that this app repeats them as you scroll down through the list. They typically have around six new stories, a couple old stories, and then all that repeated. Well, here’s my feedback to the black hole of app administration. I’m done with this horrible app and deleting it.

Happy I ditched the KCRA app for FOX40

I left KCRA’s insulting ad-fest of an app for this one. I enjoy the app for reading the news and am grateful that it is in both video and article form. The proofreading is mostly accurate and, perhaps most importantly, readers are not inundated and overwhelmed by ads like KCRA. I would give 5 stars but the live stream often loses sound and crashes. NOTE: I voiced one concern one time and have seen the problem resolved. FOX40 listens! Thank you

Not a fan of the app

Nothing against Fox 40 News, but I’m not a fan of the app at all. Each news story has a video playing at the top that starts with an obnoxiously loud commercial. And there have been numerous times I’ve waited out the commercial only to have the video completely unrelated to the article. I wish the videos started off muted and gave me the option of listening or not rather than the immediate assault. As a result I hardly open the news alerts.

We've fixed some bugs and improved general performance.
