FOX 8 WVUE Mobile Reviews

by Nola Ed

Used to be a great app, but now it’s just as bad as the others . It’s almost impossible due to the positioning to not click on an ad while scrolling .
I’ll be deleting off phone and iPad .
Y’all should be ashamed of yourselves for selling out

by Yaya1386

Since the new version, I cannot open a story to read it. I click on the story, it shows up for a second, then disappears and just shows a blank page. On the iPad, it’s even worse. This used to be my news source - no more.

First off, I have never received the live stream through FOX8WVUE. I can go to the website and get it. Second, all the news story headlines are browser links. FOX8WVUE has been horrible. I have a better experience by using safari, and adding the homepage bookmark to my home screen. The video links are the most annoying with 30 second ads, and if there is an interruption, ie phone call, you have to re-watch the ad.

You have ads that mislead the elderly thinking it is coming from Medicare or Social Security that actual coming from Scammers.
You can only change your Advantage plan is at the end of the year before 12/31/ or you pay a late fee.

Everyone else received extra help during this covid 19 time, but the elderly food up, gas up and medication up.

It’s has been a terrible year for the elderly with no Doctors, Ochsner not treating us right.

We need help, Not scams Please stop this ads on T. V ., web site.

Hate the New Update of the Fox News App. The older Version was way better.
You can’t minimize the live news RC, an do other things on your phone anymore. The display of the news is very unorthodox. They make using FOX8WVUE more of something you have to fully engage in, where as before you can stay up to date on the News while on a go.

Getting tired of Fox8 constantly reminding people about George Floyd. Liz Reyes had this graphic video on the news last week and now I see it on my phone. Keep dividing the country. The police officers who were there , especially the officer who caused him to die, are all going to prison. What else are you looking to do. I hope your ratings go way down.

FOX8WVUE used to have a decent sized font that made it easy for older folks to read. New app had feature to adjust it, but it didn’t work. Looks like they removed that completely now but the fonts are still really small. Just lost this reader!

by Mikejw3182

The new layout of FOX8WVUE is not user friendly. In fact is appears smaller in font and more of a pain to get to multiple stories because you have to scroll so far down to make sure you actually see all the news. I feel the pictures take up to much space and what happened to the “Trending” portion of the news?! That was the interesting part because you knew it was the most updated part of the news. Not happy with it at all.

Downloaded the latest app and wasn’t able to view FOX8WVUE any longer. Title page comes up and then the program stays/hangs there. Have iPad running iOS 14.4.2.

FOX8WVUE is getting to be a pain to use. The ads popping up randomly and frequently are just unnecessary. It’s my favorite news app but just don’t want to fool with it because of this. Seems like it just started recently, if it’s some type of bug it’d be great to have it fixed.

by GeorgiaAMaye

FOX 8 is the best, but the new app is awful. FOX8WVUE is not user friendly and the adds are way too much. I used FOX8WVUE several times a day, but I will not be using as much, it’s frustrating. Please
do something about FOX8WVUE. Thanks!

I have FOX8WVUE to get local news, but many of the stories lack depth, leaving me with unanswered questions. On top of that, there are many grammatical, spelling and punctuation errors. Don’t they have editors?

by Bayou Mom

I like that the reporting is better than most local news apps but it gets so crowded out by all the trashy ads that I easily frustrate when trying to use it. Take out the ads.
Also. Please have a local news section even a Northshore news section would be great too. I don’t like that all of the news is all mixed together. I really don’t care about all the sports or entertainment news in my regular news feed.

by Great Bank

The previous app was much easier to navigate.

There are at the end of scrolling down stories that are weeks, if not months old. Either update them or delete them.

Plus, I really dislike advertisements. I’m looking for news, not advertising.

by PartyLady09

After the last update, FOX8WVUE crashed every time I tried to open it. Fortunately, that has been fixed!

I always use the Fox 8 app for weather because it has the best radar of any New Orleans news station. I wish that there was a traffic map in FOX8WVUE .

When Will The New Fox 8 app Be Out they Said On The News Today That They Have A New App Out I just updated FOX8WVUE this morning And Every time I open it FOX8WVUE goes off can somebody please help me I like FOX8WVUE I like to read the News it might still have A Bug

by Tina Amie

I never was one who would wake and turn on the news, however one morning I did. I watched and enjoyed it so much. We see so much going on with crime, in politics and Mother Nature, but yet fox8live morning news lightens up all the horrible things they need to report by bringing laughter to the news. Life is serious enough but you have to have laughter and humor in your life.

Love this news media

by Riniebaby

I have tried other news apps but FoxLive news & weather apps are the best of them all.
Keep up the excellent work on get out news& weather alerts.
Go FOX8****

by Wdryvj

Ever since FOX8WVUE changed formats I cannot get it to open… I get alerts but can’t open FOX8WVUE to read any articles.. This version is horrible . Also I couldn’t post this review with one star, had to put 5 to post SMH

by Pooldoctor

The new version is horrible. The stories are repetitive and this version is not as easy to navigate. Bring back the old version.

by Rgriffin79

Your new update on the mobile app is not good! There was nothing wrong with FOX8WVUE before you updated it and now I would rather find another news app. Ads pop up randomly while reading and the FOX8WVUE is messy. No good flow to it!

by Charlie524

Too many ads that won’t be closed - even after hitting the “x” many times!! I think it’s a timed thing - not an elective thing, as represented.

by Juliecameron

Don’t like the new update/format! Go back to a simple list of the news

by Lizzy Who Dat

Always in my heart, even if in Arizona my heart is back home in Metairie ❤️

by Lindadbarre

I depend on wvue for news, sports and especially weather. The staff has earned my trust.

by Dirty Race
