Fox Business: Invested In You Reviews

by Sean M. ATC

When FoxBusiness works whether on my smartphone or on my TV, it’s great. BUT!, it doesn’t work. When you have to “sign in” 3 or more times one right after the other just to watch your program in addition to FoxBusiness running slow, glitching, crashing, etc., the software used for FoxBusiness (mostly for streaming on smart TVs) is just absolute garbage. Don’t waste your time, use a different platform to get your business news.

This evening, my grandchildren came to visit. They had asked what I thought of all this BLM stuff, and I responded with what I thought was the normal public opinion. That they’re much too violent and are ONLY hurting their own people! However, my granddaughter took the time to show me other narratives, and even showed me some videos on why Fox News is unreliable. Gosh, when I tell you I was SHOCKED. I never knew how much propaganda I was being told! Please, other republicans, Fox News is a terrible source. I beg of you to find other alternatives like I did.

We now know that Fox is no better than Facebook, Twitter, or any of the other greedy tech or news companies. They constantly talk about needing to have choices and not being tracked by the likes of Facebook but Apple’s new policy just exposed them as well. I have loved Fox News for decades and now I feel I need to find a better alternative! You can pay for an app with generic ads so why the need to track all my activities?!

There has never been a search feature and it always has difficulty remembering that I have already logged in. It forces me to login every time I comment and today won’t even recognize I am already logged in.

Fox was once, perhaps, fair and balanced but not so much anymore. Often when I open FoxBusiness there’s no articles at all, just videos from their live TV that are all opinions from their talking heads.

I got FoxBusiness because Fox News is one of my favorite news sources. Well it was one of my favorites. I downloaded FoxBusiness and everything was fine the first couple days I used it until it gave my phone a virus and it made my phone die faster. My phone would give me random ads which gave me more viruses. Then I just had to get a new phone because of it. Not only that I found out Fox News was very biased and was not a reliable news source.

FoxBusiness let me watch for 10 minutes then shut off and told me to log in with dish. Yes, I am logged in with dish. It doesn’t matter! It wants me to download FoxBusiness , except I am trying to watch on FoxBusiness so obviously I have it! I have watched Fox on my phone since it began but for several weeks I haven’t been able to. I’m just disgusted.

Update: I did manage to relog in and for one evening was able to access Fox. Now if I try to watch live tv on Fox or Fox business a pop up window tells me I “am not authorized to view this and to contact my provider,” whom I am still logged into. Back to Newsmax.

I expected to receive fair and balanced news and economic reporting and notifications. FoxBusiness on several occasions pushed left leaning news notifications and I noticed this has gradually increased versus fair and balanced and conservative news as were their roots and reasons why I started watching in the first place. Therefore, FoxBusiness was deleted. When you bash my president with no supporting evidence other than your own opinion, your app gets deleted. I previously deleted the Fox News app for the same reason and have stopped watching both channels on the TV and internet altogether. Goodbye Fox.

I’m signed up, signed in. Anytime I try to leave a comment, or just try to thumbs up, FoxBusiness takes me to my profile page. But my profile is completely filled out. Doesn’t matter if I’m on the FoxNews app and click into an FBN story from there, or if I’m directly on the this app app. So, not sure what’s the problem. FoxNews app articles work great, just not this app articles… iPhone 12 mini

by Cackalacky211

Anytime a story I read is cross linked to Fox Bus., it never pulls up the article. Now some of the articles on the main page feed will never allow you to “read more”. The links are bad. Overall, pretty bad app from a functional standpoint. Whoever is doing your coding should actually try FoxBusiness out on their phone. These are not recent issues but have been going on for a long time.

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.

I mainly watch and read Fox News. I decided to download the Fox Business App because when I clicked on a Business related story, it would take me to the Fox Business website which took time to load.
Now when I click on a Business related story on FN App, it opens the FB App. After reading the story and selecting the back arrow to return to FN, the FN App has crashed and now has to reload again. Very, very annoying when you consider this happens constantly.
I use the FB & FN Apps which are the latest version on my iPad Air.
FIX IT PLEASE !!!

by Kilo411

Yes I am also having this problem with the screen locking up and the wheel spinning constantly, you can also get out of this mode by double clicking the home button and deleting the page.

I just loaded FoxBusiness and the problem persisted immediately.

by Afleetalexgirl27

The Fox News app has possibilities but as a long time investor the number one thing I need is a list of latest markets in a table form to quickly scan. Unfortunately CNBC does this correctly and I have to put up with their left leaning news trump hating headlines to access the great up to date markets in concise form Get with it fox! I would much prefer to use your app!

by Oneearedman

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 FoxBusiness . 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 FoxBusiness just like CNBC has done. Thank you!

There weren’t always ads when streaming live tv. FoxBusiness used to just go to a silent still shot during commercial breaks. The coming of advertisements isn’t bothersome, but the volume/amperage boost is and makes it impossible to use fox new or fox business as background noise whilst working. I switched away from the CNBC app because of the louder volume during breaks and will as well with the Fox offerings if it doesn’t change. That would be losing a viewer who watches Varney every morning and bounces between fox and fox business the rest of the day.

by Toogte

While watching a segment they were talking about Wall Street being giddy about Biden.i don’t agree with it because with energy prices being so low people can afford to invest their saving in the stock market or spend that money on other things also cheaper to manufacture products thus keeping our economy humming

by Morg13084

Overall, vast improvement to FoxBusiness , and fantastic branding.

However, everytime I scroll a page and touch a link, a new window opens. I don’t tap it, I’m scrolling and new windows open. Old app used to require a tap and release to open, not just the tap/scroll. Really obnoxious to have interruptions when viewing content on mobile.

by Casacollins

The good: a handy way to access business stories that might get buried on the Fox News app. Some cross-posting, which is OK.

The bad: big data hog and waaaaay too much video content. If I want to watch TV, I will turn on the TV.

The gnarly: some headlines with one word in ALL CAPS really cheapen the look and feel. Gives a tabloid vibe. Please fix.

by Error Reporting 2020

FoxBusiness is generally smooth, but the images loading causes it to lag/buffer. Maybe try reducing the size of your images to speed up loading time, and reduce cellular data usage. This is with respect to the stories on the “Home” page. Thank you.

Future Improvements:

- Add a section where you can actually search for a stock, or company news; as this is lacking for a “Business App”

- Add a cellular data saving mode; where images do not load, in order to save data

- Ability to adjust font size

- add some “small business news”; upcoming companies, new companies, new ideas in business/entrepreneurship; TAILOR YOUR APP TO ALL PEOPLE INTERESTED IN BUSINESS

- MORE ANALYST MARKET PERSPECTIVES! Sit down with bankers, mortgage brokers, investors, CEOs of companies; ask them their opinion on the market, what they are looking at, trends, future, future investments to make; You are a news network correct? Please provide the news.

That’s all for now. Thanks.

I am so hooked on Fox Business. The information is always reported correctly and in a timely manner.
I have been fascinated by the stock market for many years. You always report the news in interesting and entertaining ways.
Every time I say I’m not going to spend so much time watching tv, I see Varney, Neil, Dagen, and Laura and I’m hooked again.
Whenever I talk with family and friends who don’t watch Fox, they just hang on my every word and ask for more news!
Great job!!!!

by DavEfromSpace

Many times, usually late at night or early morning, I’ll get a “Server Error” message and I’m unable to watch Fox Business live. I usually have no problem streaming Fox News live. My iPad is only 2 years old and runs the latest iOS. When this happens, I have the same problem streaming Fox Business live on my desktop computer on all my browsers: Explorer, Firefox, Chrome. Also happens on my iPhone.

by TexasT40

I use an iPhone 6, if that makes a difference. A few months ago I started having trouble with the Fox News app. After the commercials ended, the news program had no audio. I discovered that using the Fox Business app to view the Fox News channel solved the problem. It’s been working great—until today. FoxBusiness randomly switches away from Fox News to a clip from Fox Business.

Fix it—PLEASE!!!

by Gt5938c

Why remove futures? Also why change logo to make it look more like regular Fox News. Fox Business has it’s own personality and it is not productive to make it almost indistinguishable from FNC. While we are at it, TV screen now looks incredibly busy and you have to squint to see the market numbers. Too bad. Now I’ll be forced to download CNBC and withstand their liberal viewpoint on everything...

by A Mad Chemist

The Fox News app has links embedded to articles in the Fox Business app. Clicking on one of those links opens the FBN app but almost never goes to the right article. Deleting the Fox Business app results in the correct page being opened in my browser. Problem solved. I can get business info with the apps from MarketWatch and Yahoo Finance instead.

by Mac Jit

The quantity of links in the stories, that automatically are selected merely by scrolling, is infuriating. I love the content but I am being forced to dump FoxBusiness due to their policy to try to get ad revenue via false clicks. Just make the UI legit. I’ll click on a link if I want to know more. Don’t play click bait games please. It damages your reputation.

by Hezmana

While watching a live stream, FoxBusiness will jump with no prompting from me to a past segment. I then must close and reopen FoxBusiness . In addition, in ios when you leave FoxBusiness you can go back by pressing the shortcut at the bottom right of your screen, this does not work with FoxBusiness. Press it all you want nothing happens.

by FRACL68

I like the business news on FoxBusiness but if you access after 4:00, it only shows the futures market. Where did the current day’s close go?

by Dh2234

When reading articles they are littered with hyperlinks and when scrolling its almost impossible to avoid these hyperlinks. I spend too much time x ing out of the links I have no interest in. Please reduce these hyperlinks or I will stop using FoxBusiness .

by Marco Island Beach Comber

Like the new layout BUT the last trade ticker is too small to read. Needs to be a little bigger and a better background to see better. Just my 2cents. I rather watch you vs CNBC but need to read the ticket better.

by Nahoosiers

Please adjust the sensitivity of your hyperlinks. As you scroll through the articles, any touching of a link immediately takes you to another page. All I want to do is read the article I’m on, not constantly close links that weren’t meant to be opened.

by Buzzyanne

Thanks to Fox Business for a better-than-average video news app. Have you considered offering live-streaming through monthly or annual subscriptions? Packages could be tiered for Fox Business and/or Fox News and/or radio. Those of us who have cut the cord are still willing to pay for premium content such as yours.

by Pira100

Great app but how do I create my own list of stocks and see it when I click on your app like yahoo
