Fox Business: Invested In You 4+

Home Screen Lockup

I have used the Fox Business App for several years and it has worked without incident. I upgraded to an iPhone 11 Pro Max in May and upgraded to the latest version of IOS 14 in the last few weeks. Since doing the IOS 14 upgrade, the Fox Business App Home Screen locks up with an opaque smear and a spinning dial. I can get past this condition by selecting a news category at the bottom of the App screen and viewing an article. I can clear the Home Screen problem by powering down the iPhone and resetting, but the problem comes back eventually. This never used to happen with my old iPhone 6 Pro Max prior to May. Not sure if the problem lies with the iPhone 11, IOS 14.x or the Fox Business App. Is anyone else experiencing this problem with an iPhone ? Thanks.

Bugs as Persistent as their News

Like the news, but the apps can be buggy. Two bugs I mention here. First, when they have a list of items in an article (E.g.—“ These five states...have the lowest worker-to-job ratios in the country:”), the list does not display. Never get to see which five states the article was about. Exceedingly irritating to not not be able to see the primary info an article was written about like that.

Second, pictures. Once upon a time, you could click on a picture and zoom in on it to see more detail, like your photos. An update a long while back did away with that. Now, zooming is no longer possible. Why?!? It’s basic functionality for the Apple iOS system. Did they hire someone to program it out of existence? Small, but very irritating when I want to see a picture in more detail than the native screen real estate on my small phone will allow.

Finally, click-bate title choices. (E.g.—“These five states have tightest labor shortage.” Or, “So-and-so said THIS...!”) Hate them with a passion. So sad to see Fox News stoop so low.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for reaching out! We appreciate you taking the time to rate our app and provide that feedback. We’ve passed along that image zoom suggestion internally and our team is actively working on the issue with list display in-app. In the meantime, while not ideal, you should be able to see it successfully via your mobile browser. Thank you again for your honest feedback!

Add Radio Link

Every morning I listen to mornings with Maria on my phone, but as soon as she goes off air, or even before sometimes I’ll switch over to CNBC on my phone. I want to listen and be able to go to my other apps on my phone at same times i.e. TD Ameritrade and others. When watching Fox business you have to stay in the App. I can go in and out of various Apps on CNBC while listening. I’d rather listen to Fox business from your app I understand there’s probably ways I could listen to Fox business on a different app but it seems to be like a link to radio listening to Fox business would be very easy to add to the app just like CNBC has done. Thank you!
