FOX40 News - Sacramento Reviews

by Green Achers

The reason I’ve used FOX40News for so long is because it’s got good local news. The reason I’m deleting it now is because it’s a horrible app design. First, They post the very same ad into every single article. That’s to say, there’s only one advertiser that is getting their product displayed! In giving hundreds of ad feedbacks that I keep seeing the same ad and that I’m not interested in their product, I get a Google acknowledgement and then it pops it back on again. Next, FOX40News is full of fake news stories that lead you to articles that FOX never wrote. Last, The real FOX news stories are so few that FOX40News repeats them as you scroll down through the list. They typically have around six new stories, a couple old stories, and then all that repeated. Well, here’s my feedback to the black hole of app administration. I’m done with this horrible app and deleting it.

I listen to my police scanner every night and lots of crime, why does FOX40News not give the local people the truth about their community? These people report the crime in surrounding areas. Total fake news and deceit. Get it together FOX40! Hire some real reporters not lazy hacks!

Since their untested update, it crashes all the time.
They do nothing to fix it.
Almost useless now

All the videos I’m trying to watch are in a constant 1 second playback loop. I see with it could be looking into and resolved.

The only thing I do not understand are your duplications. You can see on one topic a certain item and after scrolling a very short way, the same topic is listed??

FOX 40 does Apple know that your app is not listed under location service? Yet you all are using my location without my permission. I’m going to report you all to Apple. I’m sure you are breaking Apple’s terms of service. It’s rare that I go to your app, but I noticed my location was being monitored from your app earlier. I see FOX 40 Weather under the Location tab, but not FOX 40 news. I’m thinking it’s against the law to monitor someone’s location without their permission.

Ads cover more than a quarter of the viewable page now. And with the new “video” feature you have to scroll through the article then backtrack just to read the article. Very tedious.

Overall font size is too small with only the ne place that allows for font size adjustments for a few articles. I just cannot deal with the navigation to see what nconsistent looking pages.

I used to love FOX40News because I could scroll from story to story but now it’s like KCRA app where you have to close one story to read the next. It’s so time consuming. Does that look good, yes. It’s just not as user friendly.

I did not have FOX40News prior to the update so I can't compare it to it's old version, but compared to other local news apps, I dislike how this is setup. It loads way too slow when you choose an article to read. Moreover, the other apps are a lot more organized.

I'm giving it two stars because I do like the live streaming option, and there are articles that are not covered in the other news apps. As I check my phone every few hours for news updates, I generally use FOX40News only once per day to see if I missed anything because the loading time and format is such a deterrent.

I loved FOX40News until the July 2 update ... now it makes my XS Max overheat and FOX40News crashes multiple times when refreshing to load new stories. Hopefully it will be fixed soon, because a lot of local news is offered in FOX40News and I like Fox 40.

They show the same stories over and over and over. Ugh. I’ll see the same story on my page 5-6 times in one day and NO ONE has commented. They also re-post old news. I’ve commented about this but it does no good. Whoever is managing their tweets needs more training. If they don’t improve I’m unfollowing

I left KCRA’s insulting ad-fest of an app for this one. I enjoy FOX40News for reading the news and am grateful that it is in both video and article form. The proofreading is mostly accurate and, perhaps most importantly, readers are not inundated and overwhelmed by ads like KCRA. I would give 5 stars but the live stream often loses sound and crashes. NOTE: I voiced one concern one time and have seen the problem resolved. FOX40 listens! Thank you

Fox News is my ONLY go-to scene for information everyday. I have no desire to view any other news source as I don’t trust them !!

I am enjoying FOX40News very much. It is clear concise and easy to use

For a news app, this is pretty neutral and factual. One of the few I read.

by Lofty916

I appreciate unbiased actual and factual news without personal opinions.

Great local news for our Sacramento Valley. They also have our backs on World News that can effect us.

I used to exclusively use the channel 3 news app, but absolutely hated the updated version from this last fall. After deleting the channel 3 app, I tried several other local news apps. I have found this Fox 40 app to be the best and most usable. More actual typed articles most with video of you want. Commercials are a fact of life now I guess...:(
