FOX 5 News - San Diego Reviews

Love the morning news watch it every day! At least I try to cause FOX5News repeatedly bumps me off of the live news cause the other options are sooo large you pretty much can’t be holding your phone or even move it while watching. Then I have to re buffer to switch back and then when I do the sound is muted so I have to press the tiny un mute multiple times for it to work. The user interface is garbage pls update yourself and I would gladly change my review but at this time I’m very unsatisfied with your app

Developers:

Why does FOX5News reset every time you leave FOX5News (while reading an article without closing FOX5News ) to look at something else like a text or anything else? Then after switching back to the Fox5 app you have to wait for FOX5News to reset and go find the article you were reading? If you can find it because often that article cannot be found! Arrrgggg And what good is the Developer Website link in FOX5News Store do if it does not go to the developers? It only takes you to the Fox5 news website?

I’ve been using FOX5News for several years and the developers continue to ignore a fundamental shortcoming. You turn on notifications and receive them. However, when you click the notification, the link does not take you to the item - it simply dumps you in FOX5News somewhere, usually on a random story. Terrible interface. What’s the point in notifications if you can’t see the article?

Fox 5 San Diego is my preferred news station; however I feel like FOX5News can be developed better. More than often, FOX5News crashes when trying to read through a news article. Some of the ‘Continue Reading’ buttons within the articles are unresponsive when tapping in the phone. Please fix.

I love all the coverage and choice. I can read or listen to the reports I want to read. It is fast and great coverage. Local state national and international stories of the most important news. It’s good stuff right at my fingertips. I do not have to weight until 5:00 pm for the news.

I can always count on fox 5 app for all the info and big happenings in San Diego and the world. Traffic, weather, things to do, everything! Thank you so much for being part of my family.

Best news agency today. The best and most informative news broadcast you could ask for. Right on time with up to date information about the story being reported. The best App. I could have.

Gives reports daily and u can even watch live. Also gives weather report and everyone is family friendly. WOULD REALLY RECOMMEND.

Over all FOX5News is good, but we would like to watch live in full screen. Previous versions of FOX5News allowed us to watch the morning show live in full screen, but this version does not.

Thank You so much for keeping us informed in all the Good News 😀and unfortunately in Bad ones too 😥.
You Guy’s are awesome !
Thanks again for everything you do.

FOX5News used to be great but, it doesn’t give me the option to minimize FOX5News without exiting it. Before you’re able to listen to the news and minimize FOX5News ; but now you’re unable to minimize FOX5News at all. Please fix.

This new version is a jumbled mess. Previously I could just swipe through stories, stop and read what I want, then keep swiping. This seems to require me to keep returning to the home page. Also, it doesn’t seem cohesive at all. It just looks like a jumbled mess of stories.

I enjoy catching up with local San Diego news, but FOX5News frequently locks up / freezes / whatever after a few minutes. The only “fix” is to close FOX5News & relaunch it. None of my other apps do this. Please fix this! The problem is not sporadic or infrequent - it freezes almost every time I use it!

I think it will be better if the video always corresponds to that news page, not highlight of other news.

Thanks

Love to hear the news fresh and prompt I can always stay informed of what happens in my area. love the way they send alerts telling us the latest news!!!!

It shows & proves why innocent people should have guns to protect themselves from “criminals” & the “mentally demented people” with guns or with any sharp or blunt objects to commit a violent act upon you or anybody.

App frequently won't open live stream. Constantly freezes while playing. Commercial variety would be nice instead of seeing the same commercial back to back every break. For such a big station - why is your app do horrible!?

FOX5News is great! Notifies me of all the current news immediately! It is wonderful!

FOX5News is glitchy and often takes a minute to load. Sadly had to uninstall and choose a mother network app to read my news. Hope FOX5News gets fixed soon.

Bring the pop out function back. Folks on the go that watch/listen to the news live on your app are handcuffed to your app by not having the ability to do other things on their phone while watching live news.

Great app! I just really wish it didn’t have ads before the videos. Seeing the same add over and over gets annoying.

A 30 second commercial before EVERY video article. Sometimes the ad is for some news anchor that they’re trying to promote but it’s just annoying. I’ll get my reports from another local app without the obnoxious ads.

I’ve tried all the local news channel apps and this one is by far the best.

Because I Love my President Trump and you are fair to him too, that is why I became one of your supporters. And Thank you. May God Bless EVERY staff of your station and Be Protected by God against any attack of the enemies

Thank you for focusing on the good people do as well as the challenges that we face!

Very user friendly, well laid out
