FOX 2 Detroit: News & Alerts Reviews

by Cjenns

I accidentally tapped a notification from FOX2Detroit in Notification Center which opened FOX2Detroit and because FOX2Detroit opened, it cleared all the rest of FOX2Detroit ’s notifications without me having a chance to see them. That’s not how it should work. I should be able to tap on a notification to see a specific story and then return to Notification Center to see the rest of the notifications. Clearing them when FOX2Detroit opens is not technically necessary and is not the desired behavior.

The relentless pop up ads are becoming a nuisance. If it was just one when you opened FOX2Detroit it would be one thing, but the same ad opening over what you are reading is approaching a point where I will delete FOX2Detroit . The Fox National App was deleted for nuisance problems from use as well. The news is good, but I don’t buy from pop up ads EVER. I would like to think that many that expect the level of news from Fox feel the same way making them counter productive and only present because Fox wants to sell ad space only and not interested in their patrons. Sounds similar to politicians pandering solely for votes and not serving the constituents.

I’ve been using FOX 2 since your app came out. Sadly, half of the time, FOX2Detroit crashes right when I’m in the middle of watching a news story I really wanted to hear about. EXTREMELY ANNOYING! That is when you can even watch the stories. The saved video stories don’t even work but the 30 second ads do 🤬. I’ve been a fan of FOX 2 for years but it seems that management of the newsroom needs some “reconditioning”. A lot of times, the stories themselves are inaccurate anymore.

Love FOX2Detroit. Been using it for years when on the road in the morning and when I’m out of town.

Artn App Developers: recently after I’ve opened and closed FOX2Detroit it randomly just starts playing in the background. FOX2Detroit is not open yet all the sudden I’m hearing your news reports and then pause and then adds (usually Bernstein adds). FOX2Detroit is not up nothing is open on my phone. I’ve tried everything. I’ve tried turning off auto play videos in settings and in iTunes. Nothing works until I shut my phone off. What the heck?

Fox2 stinks for accessibility features! Can NOT zoom or enlarge text besides the 3 little dinky options they give up in the right corner that are useless! HATE apps that CONTROL text size or developers who don’t know HOW to develop simple accessible features! Wait until one of them has low vision one day, then maybe they’ll care. Switch to WDIV people - their app is much better & you CAN ENLARGE / PINCH & ZOOM text to actually read it!!!!

There so many grammatical errors that it's make it difficult to read the articles most times. In addition, in the rush to send breaking news alerts, information is often inaccurate and changes from update to update. Really....is the kid 2 or 8?!! I don't know...it depends on when you read the article.

Good app, with good news! Except for the LONG advertisements that you have to sit through each time you want to watch a video. It seems to be the same adds for the same company for months at a time. Try changing it up and showing briefer adds? I’ve navigated off of your videos many times because I just can’t watch the same add again.

I like to watch the news while getting read for work. The “commercials” are extremely annoying. The direct tv ad that’s in French plays on repeat and it’s the most ridiculous thing to listen to. I’d rather listen to Sam Bernstein in repeat.

I always go to my Fox 2 app to check on school closures. I still have to get out in this bad weather and the sooner I can confirm the earlier I can leave. Thanks for making my day a lot easier during these “snow day” inclement weather days. The kids are happy and so am I.

I am 64 years old, and the morning team is the best. Jay and Amy and all the rest is fantastic. I’m bumming out cause Jay had not been on for 3 days already. And Amy and Deena and Marilu are beautiful and smart women. And let’s not forget Ryan, Charlie, Devrick and Alan are comical, but ya gotta love them.

I would love to work there, just to have fun and sunshine in my day....

I moved up near the Flint area. I soon found out that I no longer was able to get Fox 2 news. It was like moving away from a family member, I miss all the friendly faces. My husband works afternoons, so when I sat down for dinner I would flip you guys on to have dinner with. Of course I have FOX2Detroit downloaded so I keep up with some of the stories. Tell Rob the story on the Ypsilanti rapist is great, and does he know where I can get the book.

I really like FOX2Detroit, but new news stories
never posted on weekend, and there is way too much advertising, which makes it difficult to read entire article without having to scroll way down.

Fox News tells the truth, stands up for our President Trump, who loves his country America, and is doing his best to save us from doom. CNN and other channels are so hateful I can’t stand to watch their hateful thoughts trying to destroy a president any way they can and by doing so destroying America. Thank God for Fox News and thank God for president Trump.

Fox 2 has been my station for as long as I can remember. They always help me start my morning. Friendly faces, informative, up to date information. We have been through many good and bad events in history. I feel like they are my friends.

This is an app I go to often each day. They have the updates from all over the world and the real lowdown on what's going on in Detroit! The Weather Authority is very accurate also. Easy to use it all!!
One thing will help; I’ve had the weather app for years, when I’m on the Fox2 main app and want weather info, Don’t take me to FOX2Detroit Store. Make it take me to Weather app I’ve already got!! Please!

I watch the news every morning from FOX2Detroit . I've tried other local news apps and I always come back to Fox2. Not only do I watch the news from FOX2Detroit , but also read the articles, catch up on "Let it Rip" and more...

Enjoy your site very much. It’s the easiest to use, very well written and to the point. Keep up the good work.
The only improvement could be proofread the stories before posting. There’s often misspelled or misused words. Kinda makes reading the story a bit confusing.

I watch Fox 2 Detroit every morning for a quick catch-up. My favorite is The Nine. FOX2Detroit lets me have all of that right in my hand. If there is something I heard on the news that morning that I wanted to talk about with my fiancé later that day, so I have to do is pull up FOX2Detroit . It’s great.

I actually love it. You asked lol so just IMO 1) There is a def need however for spelling; and context -flow editorial scrutiny of the news stories read on iPhone🤔; 2) my former irritation 🙄 with news/weather repetition is now assuaged lol because if I'm out- which I believe is your intent - I see the news etc that I may have missed👏. Love u guys!

I like the content of the Fox2 App and the layout. I like the Fox2 Anchors, I usually watch in the morning and late evening, I enjoy the chemistry between the anchors. Ryan Ermani is my favorite anchor. He’s very down to earth and just keeps it real! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lee Thomas I like you too, but if you would just pipe it down with some of the redundant and old cliches (What’s up girl?) it would be most appreciated. 😉 With that being said FOX2Detroit itself is constantly crashing and/or filtering. It’s extremely annoying!!! 😩😩😩 Also, are the Bernstein and Morris law firms the only local sponsors you can get? And when you get national sponsors (Marriot and Chase) you play their commercials to death. Less App crashing and more sponsorship would make this a much better App in my book.
