FOX 10 Phoenix: News & Alerts Reviews

by Tableapplecar

I have had FOX10Phoenix ever since it was offered. Checked it every morning and every night. I rarely check it anymore. It stinks. It’s confusing, it repeats, by repeat I mean sometimes the same thing is posted as many as 4 times. Or most are repeated at least twice. Then there will be something that stays posted forever. I don’t know who is in charge of the information on FOX10Phoenix now but you need someone who knows what they need to do to bring it back to what it once was. Worse change I have ever experienced in an app.

Running how all the 1 Star reviews are from the most recent update. It’s so terrible. I am deleting, I was hoping they would have fixed it by now. I’ll use another local app.

Update is horrible. Ruined the whole app. Repeat headlines as I am scrolling, hard to navigate, just a horrible update. Also, when I navigate to Arizona News through the drop down menu, it redirects me to the Fox 10 website ? Why the hell have an app then? Deleting and will another news app. Horrible, horrible, horrible update.

The brutal truth is FOX10Phoenix isn’t very good . It’s not really much of an app at all, more just essentially a link to the Fox10 website, complete with all the fluff and games and trivia. It’s not well optimized for a smartphone at all, which renders it close to useless. Most of the text isn’t scalable which means you need a microscope to read it, and the traffic/weather sections are a huge letdown. The “push news” is a joke, I had it activated for about 24 hours and then deactivated it, not one story it pushed was “real” news that I needed to know. I’ll wait until Fox10 decides to spend the money to create a REAL news app.

I find myself looking more at the Fox 10 Phoenix Facebook page rather than using FOX10Phoenix . FOX10Phoenix is slow and sometimes doesn’t open. Also, when opening FOX10Phoenix and tapping on a story, I am sent to the Fox 10 Phoenix website, which shows the story, but also puts FOX10Phoenix download/view option at the top of the page. This problem can easily be solved by a good developer. Hybrid apps are a great idea, but can provide a very poor user experience when not developed properly.

I’m not one to sit in front of my app watching the news. However I do like the notifications that pop up on my screen. I can choose to ignore it if I’m not interested or click on the notification to open the story. The problem is, it says to click on that story but it opens up the Fox 10 news with all of the stories happening. I have to search for the story I clicked on. The notification is basically useless to link to the story.

Have to restart app many times in order for the live stream to finally take- otherwise you can stare at a black screen for five minutes hoping it will start up. Too many insurance commercials. To see the same commercial six times can annoy anyone.

Reading the news there has been more and more pop ups. Get in the way of the content. Annoying!

Not sure what has happened but things have been getting worse. I love the channel ten news crew. I plug in my earphones while at work to listen to them almost daily. Though lately I wonder with all the delays and interruptions within FOX10Phoenix is it worth keeping it and just catching up later with the news...that is if I can. I very rarely watch afternoon or late night news. So the morning and noon showtime is when I watch.

Not sure if this will get to anyone or if it will even be considered but if it is I hope what is said will be taken to heart and improvements will be made. Thanks and have a Happy New Year!

I get headlines in a banner on my phone and sometimes when I click them when they are brand new, FOX10Phoenix doesn’t open the article at all. It takes me to some page with other news articles. Also all the links in FOX10Phoenix Store for the developer are not for a developer but for the Fox 10 news website. There is no tech support or developer contact information to report bugs in the software. The developer needs to fix this issue.

I find that the ads on the Fox 10 News app are far too invasive. They pop up constantly when I click on a news article to read it and in the last few days it has been automatically starting a video for an ad and when I click on it to try to stop it before there is an x to close it I am automatically redirected to the website for the ad. Very irritating. But overall I love Fox News.

by Bad Journalism

I have noticed that News 10 is starting to lean left in content and commentary. To be a real journalist is to be not a part of the commentary, but a presenter of commentary. That includes not just the left but also the right. Lately it has leaned left and not reported anything right. Very poor “journalism”. Will have to delete app and not watch your news channel if the journalists don’t practice neutrality.

I haven’t had an issue with FOX10Phoenix till the new update. Now like 95% of the time it won’t open. Anyone else having this issue? I have closed it out, I have deleted it and reinstalled it, I have shut off my phone and turned it back on and it still is having issues. Makes me sad! I love fox 10!

I hear a beep and i know there’s something going on that i might want to know of: weather alert, accident, highway closed, police on the scene. This is the East Valley and Fox 10 is there, often with on site interviews and heartfelt compassion.
If i have a problem, I don’t like how long the news of yesterday stays on the internet site as if I don’t yet know of it. Two to three days is long enough for me.
Thank you and keep up the good work.

I appreciate being able to read local news stories. I had a subscription to AZ Central that I was paying for but many times I was reading slanted news stories and they only allowed me to read a specific number of stories per month. This has been great to read stories that are not filled will commentary or opinion.

Thank you

Love to have my morning coffee and read/watch the news but I know have to indure that dam Dr. Video first before I can see the news video with the beginning of each news video? Thinking about going over to News Channel 3’s news station for the news. You need to drop the advertising or others will also be leaving.

Keeps me informed on the real important issues and I like viewing them when I first get to work and at lunch!! Vote for me a USA born Hispanic for president!! I couldn’t do worse than this guy!! And I couldn’t afford to even do anything so bad in life that would get me possibly impeached lol,, I’m your regular Joe trying to help my neighbor!!

The number of notifications just keep adding up on the face of the icon. I had 1 notification in red, then opened app and read the story that was new. After closing FOX10Phoenix the red notification with a number 1 in it did not disappear as they did prior to the last update. Now every time there’s a new notification it just keeps adding to the last without clearing. As of now if I look at my phone (iOS) and view FOX10Phoenix icon for Fox News 10....it shows a 13 in the red little box at the top right. Again...previously, the red notification with the number in it cleared every time I opened FOX10Phoenix ....make sense? Lol...nope!

Update, ever since around December 2017 Fox 10 Phoenix upgraded my app , now it works like a charm, no more problems opening, Thanks Fox 10 😊 !!!!

Why? Why? Why? I used to love FOX10Phoenix. Now, I am scared to open it. As soon as I do, it’s starts playing a loud ad. First, it happened during a work meeting. Thanks for call me out. Second, I was checking news and it woke up my kid. You have got to stop that. It should not play music when I open it, or I’ll delete it forever more

Every time I bring this site up the same stories are repeated over and over. Seems like there would be more news to print than repeating the same news in almost every section. Just saying

My husband and I are from the Phoenix area, but are retired now and are spending the summer in Westport, Washington as work campers getting out of the heat for the summer. What a beautiful gift to get the instant new messages randomly to let us know what’s going on back at home! I’ve always trusted you for the best news and weather coverages, and I get to find out what my daughter and granddaughters are having to endure back home. Thank you for that gift!

We do not watch any other newscast but channel 10 during the week. Starts the day off great! Troy and Celeste are a great team and glad to see Andrea leave so Celeste to take her place. Celeste is a much classier dresser without short dresses and has a great sense of humor and her and Troy are great together! They play off each other.
But also let’s not leave out Cory and Ron-they are really good too!! Nobody better to make you laugh than Cory early in the morning!! And like Ron’s delivery of the political side of things and his funny little things he delivers to add to the otherwise starch politics. What a great morning show you have now!!😀
