FOX 32 Chicago: News & Alerts Reviews

by Poppin_B_holes

Garbage app they make a ton of money of rolling these worthless ads, I have good credit and I won’t be buying a car. This is why they have to make up news so we can get click baited and sold a bunch of crap.... “casinos can’t stop you from doing this simple trick to win” oh yeah? Just don’t play the videos and you’ll at least only get hit with a little wasted time. Pop ups? Lol my goodness. Loser news company. I suggest not even paying attention to ANY news.

Please stop putting stories on your app that have no relation to Chicago whatsoever. If I want to know what’s happening in other states I’ll check national news. We have more than enough issues to report on in our own city. Oh and the burbs are not Chicago either 🙄. Finally, please don’t make it so obvious that everyone is off on the weekends. Your apps home page looks the same late Friday through early Monday 💤💤💤

Fox32 is the worst for finding a headline that pops up. You tap the connection and there is no story. It connects to the live video that’s on commercial break. Guess FOX32Chicago is as bad as the whole Fox network when they want you to read a story and don’t have it. Lucky to get even a star, maybe a -5 stars would be better.

Although the newscasters and the shows are awesome, the application itself for live tv needs a lot of work. It freezes all the time, sometimes the show will start then freeze and re-start again. Sometimes when you open FOX32Chicago it takes you to a commercial but not all the time. Once the show is on, it's awesome but these glitches need to be fixed.

FOX32Chicago is so spotty with live streaming that it's extremely frustrating not to mention it goes to a we'll be right back screen during commercial breaks but, often doesn't go back to streaming.

Fix the problem and FOX32Chicago will be great.

By the way, I would almost rather watch the commercials rather than a screen that says we'll be right back!

I get news notifications from USA TODAY, Huff Post, Hollywood Reporter, The Verge, to name a few, and those apps always take you directly to the story being notified, but not the Fox 32 app. It’s frustrating. Do they want you to watch a video of the story they’re notifying? Perhaps that’s it, however I’m used to being able to just read the story right away. Don’t have time for videos. Compared to the other news notifications applications, this one is disappointing.

It will not allow you to replay the news. If you missed it and wanted to watching from the beginning, forget it. Also, when they say “ for more info go to our App, forget it. Try doing a search of the morning news topics like a cooking recipe or job search info and the search will give items that are 2-5 years old. Try to narrow it down by date and then you get NOTHING.

The news is great, so much more than others report & awesome with current events but the constant interruptions with ads is horrible and some days are worse then others with the amount of ads that pop up!

FOX32Chicago works and it really brings to light just how little news is reported. I say that because it shows the same commercials over and over and over again. To the point were I have to turn FOX32Chicago off because I just can't listen to the car credit center commercial or how many awards Chevy has won ever again!

Great Team I really like most of the people Morning and at Night However I don’t think I would of let Jenny Milkowski go she added a lot the morning show

App is good, but every time the 30 second ad comes on, from 6700, It takes a full 2 minutes to get to the video?

I like this Fox 33 app because it simply works. There are other news apps that have a lot off technical issues, and with FOX32Chicago I have had very few if any.

I check it all the time. It's always current & with detailed information on top stories.

Good, concise local & national news with good pictures/ videos. Without the aggravating Rightist bias of Fox Cable News which is full of propaganda and lies. Keep up the quality reporting,WFLD!

I have apps for cities I've lived in and most have started using the same poorly designed format so I like coming to Chicago to see so much right in front of me

The interface of FOX32Chicago allows for convenient and easy finding of news stories and reading.

by Zettevette

I feel it's very informative and up to the minute happenings.
Very informative and up to date

FOX32Chicago is so much better than most. Not because of FOX32Chicago itself, but the fact that the staff refresh the news with frequency, even on weekends. Online news is worthless if it behaves like its newspaper predecessors. The web staff and producers deserve all the credit. Great job!

I was born and raised in Chicago and I recently retired after teaching for 33 years. My wife and I relocated to New Orleans Louisiana. I always like to know what’s going on in my hometown and I rely on FOX 32 Chicago to keep me well informed and updated with the latest news impacting our city and the state. Thanks Fox 32 Chicago!
