FOX5 Vegas - Las Vegas News Reviews

by Ricklu888

Since the latest update, every time I get a notification about a breaking news story and I try to read it, FOX5Vegas shuts down. I also agree with many of the other users that the layout is very poorly designed. FOX5Vegas is going to the trash can.

I can go on the internet and get accurate up to date weather and watch content other than “live news”. The live streaming was the reason I was interested in FOX5Vegas. I have had FOX5Vegas here in Las Vegas for over a year. Streaming the news over ATT LTE, or 3G is NEVER possible. The stalling and buffering makes it impossible to watch. WIFi is the exact same experience. I have very fast internet and steam content all the time but FOX5Vegas is crap when it comes to streaming live. Please fix FOX5Vegas or stop misleading the public into thinking live streaming is possible with FOX5Vegas.

App is fine but don’t agree to “breaking news alerts. I got 20 yesterday and 5 already today and it’s not even 9am! Most are just ads to watch their broadcast. Woke me up at 6 am both days. First day was to tell me they’d show me one of the parade floats and today was to tell me they’d show me the beer pong tournament!
App says it will let you customize alerts you want to see but when you try to do that it only shows two choices; breaking news, and weather. Beer pong is not breaking news!

What is wrong with you people you Lay off the people we enjoy like Heidi and mike Doria and hire all these new young people who have no relationship to the news Christ you even lost Melanie. What the heck are you guys thinking? Most people want anchors they can relate to not 29 year olds that are barely out of school. At least you didn’t fire Jason and the rest of the long timers. What does it take to make you see most people watching tv are my age at least in their 50’s and they like longevity young people don’t even watch news. Christ I’m not even going to watch channel 5 since you guys keep laying off all the good anchors. Get your heads out of your xxxx. Get a clue people like familiarity and closeness
Family with their news people. I can’t even keep up with all these new idiots you’ve hired to bring news. Get s clue.

Used to be my go to source. Now, I have to go through several screens and more often than not FOX5Vegas hangs up on a ad and will not take me to news. Even though I prefer anchors on Fox 5, I now watch the channel 13 app that never gives me problems. Fix FOX5Vegas if you want me back

Regarding the new app layout, it’s too scattered, repetitive and confusing. I’ve stopped using it got this reason and had to switch news sources. I hope you’ll redo it in a more user friendly and easy flowing manner, as it’s a mess now. For example: Top 3 stories across top, then repeated down middle, switch to traffic, then two week old news? What’s the point if I can’t get news fast and up to date?

I love being notified for news topics. My iPad sits on my desk and I’m able to click the link and see the latest. With FOX5Vegas I have to pick it up and turn it upright. Unfortunately I’ll have to rely on the other up to date news apps so I can read on my iPad.

When I read on my tablet I pretty much always have my device in the landscape view and not the portrait view. So, I’m quite disappointed that I cannot flip the screen that way. So, I will not be using the news app on my tablet.

The reason I gave you 3 stars is because every time I want to read something I have to go to Facebook I’m not on Facebook and never will be. Everyone is not on Facebook. Why are you ? Just have your own app. Like Fox News National

I hardly ever open FOX5Vegas unless there is a fascinating news article to read. But for me the main usefulness of FOX5Vegas is when it flashes news updates across my notification screen and I can read instant news updates on the go. It has a severe lack of features. They need to add more features to FOX5Vegas to make it more useful.

Fix 5 used to be my go-to app for news, but not so much anymore. FOX5Vegas has banner ads at the bottom that keep slowing down my IPhone 8 to the point where it locks up. I can’t even scroll through the top news anymore before it freezes. Those bottom banner ads are cheesy, too, Fox 5. You can do better than that.

App worked great in the beginning but after about a year FOX5Vegas didn’t want to update. So I had to uninstall and reinstall in order to get app to update and show the correct date of events as it was 6 days behind. (And yes I checked my apps and made sure it shows as up to date) otherwise I enjoy using FOX5Vegas.

It’s easily the best local news app. Lots of content expanding many subjects in an easy and simple menu. Breaking news comes fast and it comes heavily. If you’re not a fan of your phone going off constantly. This ain’t your app.

Biggest issue with FOX5Vegas is the fact that on almost all breaking news alerts you swipe to read. It has a half sentence and then tells you to watch the live stream. People own FOX5Vegas to read articles, not watch the news. It makes the news station feel less authentic and more trendy for a millennial crowd that refuses to read. It’s something they should seriously work on.

I love fox 5, best news channel in the city by far, and they app is better than all of them, the news is faster than everyone else as well, I had all the news apps but deleted them except for fox 5 . Keep up the good work.

by Mrs Bumblebee

Fox News is my go to place but there is a little thing I would like to have fixed on your app. That would be able to share with my friends the matter if it is a breaking news item. Thanks Fox News

I mostly go to fox networks for the real news but when I need a good laugh to will go to CNN or other fake news outlets

I love FOX5Vegas but it needs to have the option of seeing old news stories by clicking the search bar or something within FOX5Vegas .

by Fatsai

News option delayed if reported at all, especially over weekends (example could be as big as bank robbery). Traffic often only main travel and rarely reports road work lane or road closure (Harmon for example) in a timely manner. Overall app function is unreliable with rare meaningful updates (report it section incorrectly formatted). Clearly designed by someone does not like Fox News.
