FOX 5 Atlanta: News & Alerts Reviews

by Kimmie5659

My major complaint lies in a specific news story notification. The news story pops up... I click on the link. You’d think I’d be taken directly to the news item I was notified about. Nope. I have to scroll... and scroll... and scroll... and get agitated because I can’t find the specific news item. I don’t want to plough through a plethora of other stories, especially if my time is limited. Aarrgghh!!!

I’ll up the rating if this is fixed.

Every time I get a notification and want to click it to read the story it’s talking about, I get taken to the home page, and that story isn’t even there. Even if it’s a relatively recent notification. It’s getting frustrating to the point that I’m going to start leaning on other local news apps.

The previous version was the easiest of my local news apps to open, and the one I checked first in the day because it worked in the LTE my phone shifts to in the far reaches of my apartment. This “updated “ version is as difficult to load as the other local news apps. I am not interested in fluff, especially before my first cup of coffee. Your app basically forced this update on me without being able to wait and read the updated reviews. Not amused. My shift to screen 3 from my home page if this isn’t fixed.

FOX5Atlanta has a terrible and outdated user interface. The biggest complaint I have however is the journalism. I’m no journalist myself, but is there literally no editor? It’s so bad that it literally takes away from the content and leaves the reader confused. Take this excerpt from a recent story: “The robber started walking back toward the getaway car, but one of the Broner started to follow the gunman turned and fired a shot, hitting the him, police said.” FOX5Atlanta needs a lot of work.

When getting news notifications and clicking the notifications FOX5Atlanta populates and buffers for sometime minutes at a time before loading then it does not go to the news article which initially lead you to FOX5Atlanta . It’s very frustrating to get the latest news when FOX5Atlanta is not working properly.

I don’t even live in Atlanta no more but Fox 5 keeps me up to date with the news and what’s going on where a lot of my family still lives...only problem I have is every time I load up FOX5Atlanta there is an add that pops up and stays for a few seconds!! Stop this ad from happening and get 5 stars from me

It’s bad enough that there is always bad news on FOX5Atlanta , but the ads become a bit disrespectful when they are slap in the middle of an article about the death or mishap of someone. I think if they have ads on the same page....make those ads at the end of the page so I don’t have to scroll down past an ad to finish reading the article.

I love Fox 5, I love having access to it anytime ... however that being said the home page is way too busy ... sometimes I get a notification that something is breaking and big news , when I click the notification ... I can’t find what I was looking for .
But all in all it’s a good app and news source ... just clean up that page :)

Fox 5 was my favorite station until I needed to watch via app. Isaac from Chase bank commercial plays back to back with no breaks until I want to scream. I'm moving to WSB. I can't take it any more! That being said, I love the cast and connect well with each of them.

FOX5Atlanta is just as amazing as the recurring show itself! I try to watch all Fox 5 news presentations faithfully, but even when I’m not able to, I never miss a beat with the FOX 5 news app. Thank you guys for keeping us informed and in the loop. Keep up the great work!

Love being able to get live news with video on my cellphone while getting ready for work in the AM. Has also come in handy when traveling as I keep up with what’s happening at home. Great, great app!

Lived in Atlanta for many, many years our children were born at Northside Hospital. One is now 37 and still lives in Atlanta, the other lives in Rome. I keep up with what’s happening in our “home town” through Fox 5 Atlanta!

Thank you fox five and all the anchors the news reporters and the staff for being there for Being there for us. Donna Bennett Of Sharpsburg Georgia

I like how the Fox 5 app. gives me the latest highlights on local & national news on the go.I work a swing shift on 12 hours & often a TV is not accessible, but FOX5Atlanta. highlights the news I need to know & the major details.

Although we live in northeast Alabama, we always depend on Fox 5 news Atlanta for all our news and weather! Always up to date and accurate, with on air folks who, while always professional and accurate, always feel like friends and family. 😊

I really like FOX5Atlanta! I'm however not crazy about all the ads you have to scroll pass to read the entire stories. I like being informed because when working two jobs I don't get the chance to watch much television.

I love and njoy FOX5Atlanta for it has great stories and the news stories is on Facebook. It keeps me in the know. Plz download the Atlanta news app and keep up today’s news. Look forward to keeping up with all that is happening in the Atlanta area as well as the national news....sports too. It’s one of my favorite apps.

The Chemistry is on. Ron Gant starts my day off with his charm and personality. I enjoy the family type setting and it makes me feel like a part of the show a bit. I love Joan Feldman and the way she presents and talks about the weather. Buck, Paul and Elyse all make the show fun and enjoyable. I look nowhere else for my daily news than your morning show. Please don’t bust up a good thing! Thanks

by Sid Of Winder

Throughout the week the headline stories are updated often, but on the weekend they go stagnant. Very few times are the stories changed. I really enjoy the constant flow of the news, especially when there is a storm that might impact us or our family who lives on the coast of NC. Thank you for the continuous updates. Keep up the good work.

My husband and I are retired, recently! And since the rest of the press is sooo liberal we only watch FOX news - Atl ch 5 and the Fox News network! We don't always agree but we feel we get the least biased version of what's going on in the World! Keep it up FOX!! We really need you right now!!! ❤️❤️❤️
