MY FOX8 Reviews

I've had issues in the past with MYFOX8 freezing but this was minor for the most part. After the last round of updates MYFOX8 only opens one out of 10 times. Logo appears then it crashes. I've deleted and reinstalled. Still crashes. I've reset my phone, still crashes. I've all but give up on it.

I’ve uninstalled it. Used to be a great app, but they’ve started embedding ads underneath the thumbnails for articles. You think you’re tapping on an article, but it redirects to a web page for an ad?! You can tell because the same news article will be listed twice. Only the second one is legit.

Used to be a very good source for local news. Not any more!

I have had MYFOX8 for years now. In the past it has been somewhat good. The past few months MYFOX8 is frustrating. There has been a few updates recently. Since the updates, MYFOX8 either crashes or freezes 100% of the time. Please take the time to fix all the issues.

This new version of MYFOX8 is downright awful. I used to love getting my news from Fox 8, but MYFOX8 is so glitchy and swarmed with so many ads that is is practically impossible to get any actual news from it. Like another recent reviewer, I am also switching to another local news app. Can not imagine how anyone would think this is an improvement.

It is slow to download because of all the videos attached to the story. Even if continue reading is selected on the story, it won’t let you read until the video is downloaded. I do not see the need for videos with every story. MYFOX8 does not update with current stories, especially on weekends. That leads you to believe nothing else is happening.

During the Covid-19 time, have found the numbers that are reported are not consistent with NC DHHS. Looks like sensationalism is running the editing room. People need news that is accurate! I agree with other reviews that refer to issues with too many ad’s and ad’s that weaves into various stories. Many of these are pure SPAM and are dangerous.

MYFOX8 is always crashing. It will also post breaking news and as soon as you click on it the link takes you to a blank page or to the home page where you cannot find the article until some time later. Today was the last straw when I was trying to watch a live broadcast and there was no sound. I flipped over to the competition and didn’t have any trouble with sound or anything else. I like FOX8 but I hate MYFOX8

Every time I open MYFOX8, within five minutes it’s rendered useless and I have to force close it and start over. It consistently freezes up. I love my fox 8 and they are my go to new station. I thought maybe an update would fix this but it’s been consistent for a year now. Even deleting and reinstalling doesn’t alter the outcome. Someone please fix it!

Lately when I use app and read stories reported some pop up advertising ad comes up and I cannot read story. Advertisement doesn't have a close x location. I have to go back to main page 2-3 times before I can finally read story. Same ad keeps popping up. Deleted app and reloaded. Same thing.... Arrrggghhhh.... Guess Fox8 getting paid well from advertising.....

I have never had to send a review but now. I have the new iPhone 12 Max Pro. Every time I log out at night then log back in, My Fox 8 app will not work. The Fox 8 logo comes up but that is as far as it goes. I delete MYFOX8 reinstall it and it works! I love MYFOX8 and having to do this is getting tiring!

Browsing MYFOX8 's content is decent and better than the other local news apps as far as content. What brings it down to a three star is the ever annoying notifications they consider breaking news, which is the only one I have set.

For instance, just now got an alert on a video of a wood carving artist. How the heck is that breaking news??? I unchecked video updates, which is what this is.

Local news is interspersed with national news, some stories days old. Confusing! Recent news, local and national, is often placed way down the page, a sophomoric attempt to get the reader to view more stories with more advertising in them.
Advertising is imbedded in most stories. I’ve found that when stories are repeated you should choose the second story as it has little or no advertising.

Nice apps to keep up on the current local news, but the screen freezes/fails often with the iPhone. As do the videos.

Hey Developers, app starts with “Start Local Stay Local”, then after 5-8 Local News Stories there’s national stories mixed in, Please create another tab or something, that’s very irritating, National news is important too, but shouldn’t be mixed with local news, especially considering your “Start Local Stay Local” Theme!

Very convenient and easy to use. Some apps you have to find the alert once it is displayed. MYFOX8 makes it easy to follow the top stores including the weather.

Is i love the news 2 app but t miss the voting on different things they use to have u to vote e on. But other then that l love it it keeps me up with the news.

I enjoy listening to and being informed on my phone up to date things that happen in the community and worldwide quickly!

Fox8 has the best news app. It gives me the current happenings in national and local news. They give you the information you need and do it in a non-biased professionally reported journalistic style. I depend on the Fox8 news app and the Fox8 Weather app to help get me through the day.

The local newspaper is printed too early to include sports scores so I rely on your site for my morning updates

Love your news team! Lots of smiling and happy faces! Your just a very likable team! Keep up the great work!!

I like MYFOX8, but the share buttons are not working for me. Please fix.

Much better without the annoying pop up ads. Thank you for listening.

None of those troubling adds before or in between the news story. Love it.

WGHP has the best news covering all 3 cities and surrounding areas and weather coverage too.

Love Katie Nordeen. Better news than WXII. If I want to find out what’s going on in W-S, Fox has it. Thanks Fox.

I've had no issues with MYFOX8 . It's so convenient and needed

My favorite local station is FOX8 in High Point NC. All the employees are very
Distinguished and report the local news
Well. They are real people. Our neighbors
Our friends. Keep it up. You deserve the best.
Thank you
