WHAT THE HELL, Fox News‼️ After updating the app, I opened it to check the news, INSTEAD, I was IMMEDIATELY met with an AD at the TOP OF THE MAIN PAGE‼️ That is totally 💩💩💩 FoxNews‼️ DO BETTER PREVIOUS POST: ATTENTION FOX NEWS: If you are going to issue News Alerts, THEN PUT THE INFO AT THE TOP OF THE MAIN PAGE!!!!! I'm SICK & TIRED of having to try and hunt down the story connected to the 'Alert' It seems to get buried several scrolls down, or under another heading. FIX THIS!!!!
I LOVE Fox News. A breath of sanity in an insane world. But the swipe left or right to transition to a new article glitches so bad that the app is basically unusable. I have tried every user trick I know to attempt to correct it, but no joy. Also from what I can tell, the Contact Us option is for everything except the app.
this app is even more ridiculous now because the revamped comments section is a joke just like the rest of the app. trying to type in the comments section is just simply that a flipping joke
junk
Over the last couple of weeks, Fox News changed how ads work within app. In past you had to intentionally tap on ad to link to the ad company info. Now ads will open as you scroll past the ad or barely touch anywhere near the ad. The entire news feed has become useless. As you scroll to read an article, it ends up linking over to a full page ad. I'm constantly having to close ads just to read an article. If this is not fixed over next couple of weeks I'll delete the app.
edit does not show comments at all Friday, June 26th 2026 after every article after every post after looking at any comments the app logs you off uninstall and run away this is the worst app on my phone
Fake News Propaganda!
WAY to much click bait, stopped using fix news on phone.
constantly kicking me out and kicking me off and not accepting my DirecTV sign in constantly is frustrating!!!!
The app has become a nightmare over last month. The Expedia ads are launched into separate browser every time u try to scroll past them. I QUIT this app, that I've loved, till they are removed and the app is usable again!
Terrible invasive ads APP 2026 SUCKS. THIS IS NOT A NEWS CHANNEL, YOU'RE NO BETTER THAN THE REST. YOU ENTICE RECENTMENT.
very poor app don't show anything
I've been using this app for a couple years now b/c I like to stream my news shows. It seems, looking back on my former reviews, nothing has changed on here. In fact, it's gotten to be the worst I've seen it ever in the last couple days. Can't get in to my shows no matter if I turn the phone off/on, reinstall the app, etc. So sad that such a large organization has such a crummy app. So very deeply disappointed.
Edit: App has completely stopped allowing sign in. The authenticator code isn't sending at all. Hit "resend" and it locks up with an error code. Daily sign in required. I used to sign in a couple of times a year, now it requires sign out and back in again every morning. edit2. deleted app. makes me log in twice per day. not worth the effort any longer
No longer can view or make comments
The app constantly stops working and forces me to the television subscription page, which gives me an error. Can someone fix the app?
This app is composed of literally THOUSANDS of hidden trackers (from Fox and other data mining companies like Google, etc) that launch and run even if Fox itself isn't running! They track EVERYTHING about YOU and your cell phone! Browser plug-ins have no effect. Don' t believe me? Get Duck-duck Go browser and see for yourself what this (and other) apps on your phone are doing to you and your privacy. Big Brother and 1984 on steroids! I was shocked to see this.
This app constantly logs off, makes sense for concurrent connections on different devices. But if your on the same device, Why re-login if you leave the app for less than 2 hours. Super irritating!!!!
l love Fox but l have great difficulties getting their app to work well for me. Most of the time I have to wait wait for the articles to load. Sometimes they will not load at all. I love to read the comments but l have to wait a long time for the comments to load if they load at all. Sometimes they load and everything is great but that happens maybe once a day if at all. I have tried every approach to solve my problem but nothing works.
Content's good. The app is trash. It's obvious that nobody cares about this app. If they don't give a damn, neither do I.
Videos only play about ten seconds but let me watch the whole 30 second add before also 3 month old stories presented as new
I cannot log in until I go into apps, clear the cache and go back into fox news and reload. Every time I attempt to get in and it times out,the first thing that comes out is an ad at the very bottom of the screen, and then the reload screen comes up, which NEVER works. Are you ads slowing everything down and preventing the app from loading?
too many ads
Id like nothing more than to love this app but, your team has got to remove the incessant pop ups!
Fox is horrible
Ads pop up over the article so you can't read it and have to wait for it to dissappear ,so annoying, I leave the article right then! Or the ad takes whole screen and won't scroll really some annoying ads pop up and make article about five lines on screen! I get it you want all the money you can get for your articles cause most are click bait! Reason I left foxs news again!!!!!!
I love the content, but the app functions are absolutely the worst of all apps. Please fix.
this app is terrible! Continuley refuses to open. Total waste of time. I just go right to Newsmax. Never a problem opening.
More often than not cannot open Says failure to download
Five times I have logged into your app, and five times it tells me to do it again. Id give negative stars if I could. SUCCESS YOUR LOGGED IN THEN DO IT AGAIN BECAUSE IM NOT IN. KEEP IT! I'M DELETING IT.
Don't know what you did in the latest update but you screwed the pooch on it. Keeps telling me to sign in and when I click the verify notification it doesn't sign me in. And the main website is just as bad, if not worse. Been having problems with it all day.
Every notice you send, I click for the article and the article is no where to be found. I never get to read the newest news alerts. Dissatisfied ⁷
Typical fox. title shows slide show ! and only bs is more X links. what does X pay fox for every click they receive?
drag-scrolling articles now pop open embedded ads way too easily. I slowly scroll through, and aa soon my thumb hits an ad, it pops open. Talk about trying to generate a bunch of ad revenue through misclicks. Have probably done it 20 times the past week or two. Lack of headlines compared to website. And wayyyy too many Breaking News alerts, wish could throttle them somehow. Notif panel always had 5 or 10, and the app icon always has a red dot badge that never clears b/c there are so many alerts
crashes all the time
App is slow and hard to use. I think its all the ads that crash the app
I have been using the Fox News app for many years. ever since installing it on this phone a one plus nord n200 the app just keeps crashing even with latest updates
The news is fine the problem is the app is extremely unreliable. You would think as important as it they would make it actually work. when it does work I have to re-login multiple times per day. I also have to constantly remind them that im a COX subscriber. excruciatingly frustrating. There are times that they will play the same commercial five or more times in a row during the same commercial break. And the commercials are frequently in Spanish.
won't let me watch via COX on phone
Everytime I click on a pop up headline notification, it takes me into the app, but NOT the article I clicked on, just into the app. I have to go searching, most of the time not finding the article that I clicked on. Very frustrating!
I am tired of interruption of my games.
I tried using the app on my Z Fold. Using the z fold half folded, the video in on the wrong part of the screen, is on the bottom and not the part of the screen facing me.
Ads are maliciously programmed not to discriminate between scrolling gestures and intentional clicks. so scrolling articles will inevitably lead to an unintentional "click" on an ad that will open the web browser and interrupt your reading. It is extremely annoying and I think unethical. it is the same on Android and iOS. stop this!
the Walmart ads are almost a deal breaker for this app. do better
Around 75% of the time it's "unable to refresh" or "unable to load". I pay for the thing and expect it to work.
I can't scroll without a damned Expedia ad opening from incidental contact.
Way too many ads, sometimes covering the majority of the news content. Even worse is the fact that now if you even barely touch the screen near an ad while scrolling the ad will immediately open. It then takes 2 or 3 back clicks to close it.
Constantly crashes, I enjoy the news but the constant trouble made me delete it.
app now just crashes after trying to click on a story to read.
Reaction are disappearing as soon as I leave the artical. I go back into the same article and my reaction is gone. Please fix this. Ads are still touchy when scrolling. Along with intrusive pop up ads.
