First CoastNews on line. Since I no longer take the paper, this is my news information! I receive notifications of happenings, and find out what is happening in Jacksonville as well as other places! No longer do I find out news a day or two later - I know it as it’s taking place!

Horrible APP. I love First Coast News! It’s my favorite source for local news. The app is horrendous! It drops videos while you are trying to watch some breaking news. Or, if it doesn’t drop the video, it doubles up on the voice, like an echo, so you can’t even hear what they’re saying. I will get a notification, then will go to the app, and it’s not even showing up anywhere! That has happened several times! Please fix this app! I want to love it!

Weather. FCN is the only channel I watch, especially the weather team.

The one and only FCN. My family and I love FCN , been our source for news over fifty years. Keep up the good work. The Kelly family.

Mrs Janice Curry. Love First Coast News..Love Heather. Thanks for doing more on the Middleburg Clay County area. Actually like all of your news and weather casters. Waiting on news from Keitha..y’all keep up the good work..

Keeps me up to date. I really enjoy the FCN app. It helps me stay up to date on the news and the latest weather and happenings. It’s a great app.

Enjoy First Coast News Updates. Valuable local information

Like streaming feature.. It’s nice to be able to live stream the news cast, especially during hurricanes. I like be updated with what’s going on with my family on the First Coast.

GUI Clean and easy to deal with. This is a nice app that focus’ on Jacksonville and it’s surrounding areas. There is one thing that I would like to see improved in an update, and that would be to have the ability to view videos fullscreen.

Great storm updates. Up to the minute weather forecasts assisting with many thunderstorms occurring this week.

What’s up with the fcn weather app?. Thanks for the update of the fcn news update, BUT what’s going on with the fcn “Storm Experts” weather app? The daily and hourly forecasts disappeared a few weeks ago. No updates, no info about it. Such a shame. This WAS my go-to weather app. Please let us know what happened.

Prompt and thorough updates!. On the go to work or returning home to the family, it’s great to quickly be informed of issues important to life in the greater Jacksonville area. With breaking news as the Coronavirus, FCN is even more appreciated.

News video. Difficult to play video and watch. More frustrating than informative. Too many pop ups, some divert to a different site.

Notification settings. I like this app except for the notifications. I have turned off all of the sport notifications but I still get notifications about the jaguar games. I even tried turning the local notifications off so I would stop seeing them because I don’t like football and I don’t want to see anything about football come across my phone. I would really appreciate if the developers of this app would make it so someone who has the football notifications turned off doesn’t see anything about football.

Good news. I have watched this station for 4 decades and like everything except the Sports segment. Mostly techy and not information . Maybe over 50 should go somewhere else. Thanks

Not up to date. Constantly dropping and closing the app. The state news showed the same news blurbs for a week, along with same advertising on every block, if there were 8 blocks, u saw the same darn thing. Breaking news wasn’t really breaking news, it would still be there hours and days old. Some aren’t worthy of that classification. Then that same bit of news is in local, then in state... jeepers can’t you find anything to fill it’s spot, this a whole bunch of stuff going on out there, but triplicates isn’t needed much less duplicates. Need a better webmaster.

Weather info lacking. FCN needs a separate app just for weather, like 4 and 30 have. There is barely any info on the weather section on this app. You have to watch videos to see the detailed forecast. If I’m at work or scrolling in public, I can’t watch videos. No written summary available. FCN used to have a weather app but got rid of it a few years ago. Time to bring it back.

Squashing bugs. Keep in mind be original. The updates have always been there to keep the app secure, not for “squashing bugs”. Don’t make the app another Google early 500 change updates so you can say squash bugs and left work early. The bottom line is simple “militate” security and software integrity. We don’t squash bugs as a programmer with update protect the consumers identity, and provide accurate and non censored content. It’s what distinguishes you from the BS going on at the trillion mess Silicon Valley has brought upon our country.

New App needs improvement. Traffic report is inferior to previous version. Stories open without clicking.

First Coast News Jacksonville. Really miss being able to watch FCN on AT&T for my evening news. Watching competition is not the same. Hope we get our ABC and NBC back again.

Not everything is breaking news. The alerts that are sent out from this app are a bit much. I can understand if something is truly breaking news. When you send an alert that a school in S Florida will be going back next week- that’s not breaking news and can wait until the noon news. When alerts are sent, they should be clear. Sending an alert that several schools are on lockdown but not listing the names of the schools is simply trying to create fear. Please do better!

First Coast News. You are like my family. Thank you for keeping us posted on the Coronavirus.

Almost perfect. You can almost always rely on the future forecast to plan your day! 90% of the time.

The only Duuuval station you need.. I see other people with channel 4 or fox 30 with weird and useless message alerts. First coast knows the best for weather and practical Jacksonville knowledge. Tim Deegan has changed my life for the better!

I like local news. New to this area. I look at this app every morning for the local news. Only drawback is sometimes the stories stick around too long.

Review of FCN app. The general parts of the app are good BUT WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND UPDATING STORIES DOESN’T DO THAT OFTEN ENOUGH!!! The page with the black and white topics is sometimes very old and outdated!!! It is frustrating when I try to see what the newest information is about them. Sometimes the information is VERY VERY OLD!!! More than one person should be involved if the author isn’t on top of stories or doesn’t work in it for several weeks!!!

Love First Coast News. Always watch and downloaded on phone Most reliable News station in Florida Keep up the great work

Contests. I couldn’t participate in the daily word contest because it said that I wasn’t logged in and when I tried to login there was no way of doing so!

Poor FCN App design and not user friendly!. Your updated FCN App is poorly designed and is not user friendly, particularly in attempting to go to the sections I wanted to read. The prior version was very well done and had great navigation. If there was a rating well below zero (0) stars, then I would rate it at least negative quintillion stars below zero (0).

Rook for improvement. There’s always loading issues and every time I click on “Watch Live” a commercial starts first and delays what I should’ve seen live. Otherwise, the format is decent compared to our other local channels

FCN. When I am the traveling it’s nice to know you can keep in touch with hometown news.

Keep moving forward. I love GMJ !! I look forward to watching it every morning it’s on. You have a fantastic group of people and feel more like family than any other station in Jacksonville.I start each morning at 4:30 and watch till about 6 as I head to work .. I’ve never been a fan of your website though, not user friendly and awkward to navigate. Had to resort to news4jax if anything important was going on during the day .. since I installed this app it has been really informative and so far so good, Ill have to see how it is when the next big storm comes along and then you might get that last star.

Help us keep up from the distance. We moved at the end of October, thanks to Irma. We still miss our First Coast and you give us the pleasure of keeping us up today in what is going on ‘at home!’

Good source. Like the older application much better But this will suffice for free Not balanced center Swings too far left

Less than user friendly. If I don’t return to home page before closing app, the next time I return to the site the little circle just goes round and round ant the site never opens. I have to completely delete the site then reload it from the App Store

Too much emphasis on reporting crime. At times, I have to wonder if the only news being reported is what is available from the local police blotter. Business news is largely ignored. An out of towner relying on this app for local news would likely be aghast at the amount of crime taking place in the city. Crime, crime and automobile accidents, mostly with injuries. Isn’t there ever anything positive to report?

Very good local news coverage. As life long native Floridian I can’t always catch the news on TV. This is a great alternative for on the go news.

The Best of the Best. I moved to Florida 4 years ago and my very first morning here I watched FCN. I remember thinking this is the best local news show I have ever seen. Everyone is so natural there is no way they are reading from a teleprompter. I grew up watching Baltimore, Washington DC and the local news stations in our area for over 50 years before my move to St. Augustine. And FCN is hands down the best there is!!!!

Up to date info.. Keeping us up to date on the goings on in the community. The additional news like weather is also great.

Great news app. Excellent First Coast coverage. It’s where I go first to find out what’s happening in the area.

I would love this app but..... I have all notifications turned off but weather. All weekend long my phone blew up with NFL draft updates. I don’t care one bit about football so it was very annoying. I also get news notifications. Really everything but weather. The app shows all my notifications (but weather) off so I’m not sure why my phone and watch get constant notifications of everything. I’m going to have to remove the app. Even though GMJ and FCN Is the news I choose I’m going to have to find another news app that the notifications off really mean off.

Latest news. Easy to connect to the stories from the notifications with minimal distraction from ads.

Reliable news coverage. Thank you

FCN. I rarely watch local or network news, but I do want to be aware of events closer to home. The FCN website and accompanying app provide that information, often as it is happening.

News First Coast. News we can count on

Good. It's getting better. I use it as my primary source for news in Jacksonville.

First Coast News = THE BEST!!. Being a native Floridian who lived in South Florida, I was accustomed to very good news reports that came out of Miami-based stations. Fast-forward to today. I now live in a 55+ retirement community in Nocatee and love it. My husband and I exclusively rely upon the First Coast News for an accurate portrayal of the latest happenings in our local area, as well as the rest of the world. Additionally, we have the FCN Radar app and review it several times a day. For example: I was about to take my golf cart to lunch but checked out the weather. Whoops..impending rain. Oh, well. Lunch at home, it is! Thank you, FCN!

New changes. The new and so called improvements made to this site is not liked. The improvements made does not impress me and others. The old website was much easer to navigate from story to story. It’s time for a change, by your web designer or by people following another news source.

Informative and on time. I live in Jacksonville from 2008 to 2018 and have watched FCN all the time. I now live outside Jax and this is the only news I follow. Good job, you all. You guys are always on top of what’s happening in Jacksonville. Thank you

Recent change in format.. I relocated from Philadelphia to JAX in September and found ABC/First Coast News to be very “flat.” I stopped watching it. This morning, I tuned in to get local weather, there’s been a major change, for the better, in the anchors and overall production/format!! I’m very happy to have a local news station again, that’s informative, professional and energized. Well done!!!

Very informative. On time and easy to follow

Old bylines. two to three new story's but the rest are two to three days old and way to many ads please update you story's every day and cut down the ads Unto you can fix I will be using cbs 47/fox 30 for more up todate news

FCN Weather App. What happened to FCN Weather. It stopped working and even disappeared from the IOS App Store.

Great news app. This is my daily go to news app for local news. It is super easy to navigate, never crashes and refreshes frequently to keep adding the top news. I have it set to give me need to know alerts which it does as well. I love this app. Way to go channel 4!

Fix this app, it freezes immediately when opening. Fix this app, it freezes immediately when opening

Worlds ahead of Action News…. FCN's app is by far the best, fastest, most intuitive, and most comprehensive local news app…u can tell it was designed from the ground up w/the end-user in mind and at heart…bravo Gannett and the team at First Coast News for finally giving serious news consumers the app we've been waiting, and hoping, for…

Became the CNN of local news. Promotes hate and headlines are just click bait.

Weather?. Looking for a weather app?.. It's not here!

All the best..all the time. Been a avid follower for years. Keep up the great job.

Was good. Came for the local news. Leaving due to the one sided political crap.

One sided. I can’t watch anymore or follow app. So one sided.

My only news channel. We watch you every evening without fail. New faces and not so new faces. All if you are great.

It keeps me up- to -date all day long. The app pings me with breaking news all day long. I can quickly look to read the short synopsis of the news. If I want more, a simple tap takes me to the news site where I can get more details. A great app! Glad I downloaded it!

App is ok. The app works okay. Freezes a lot, which is very annoying. Still a good place to get updates in local news, if you don't mind reading through all of the spelling and grammar errors. A little proof reading goes a long way and someone at FCN needs to start proofing these stories. Today was US Marshals spelled US Marshal's not once but twice! Other times sentences make no sense at all. Get it together FCN.

Typical Media Bias. This media outlet vomits one view and one view only. Just another example of media not working to inform but to influence.

Weather. Watch you every morning love FCN

All ads and stupid comedy no news. The first time I watch this it was a few minutes of a news clip and then the important stuff that you wanted to know set in a few minutes will explain blah blah blah well then there was these jerky women doing stupid comedy on and on and on and so I clicked to the local news and it was commercial and so I clicked back and then there was like a split-second of Tim again like I was just missing it and how could I miss it we're talking 30 secs and then another commercial so I guess you have to sit there and endure this horrible stuff to get the 30 seconds of news each time

G G. Iv watched F C N since I moved to Florida 7 years ago good morning Jacksonville is the best morning news cast is the best in the area.

Good,,,,,,but. I don't like it when you close out a news story, it takes you all the way back to the top. You have to scroll back down to where you left off. When you finish a news article and close it out it should remain at that point, not go back to the top.

Live streaming. Would really like to see ALL of channel 12 live-streamed like channel 47.

Just ok. The app is ok, but it frustrates me that I can't share breaking news articles. There is no share sheet available on those pages.

iPhone X. Some features do not work well on iPhone X. I have an older iPhone and they work fine.

FCN red. Good news always informative

Crashes. Always crashing! I have updated my phone, even gotten a new phone and I still cannot read a whole news story without the app crashing. Love FCN just need to update app.

Just plain bad. I don’t want to watch a 30 second ad for “fishdom” for each news segment I try to watch...and then the glitches and inability to scroll. Cmon FCN, your news app is just another example of how backwards and sad Jacksonville is. Deleted

Reliable. Great source for news

Good station. Good news

Notifications. If you have sports notifications turned off, why do you still get jaguars notifications? Bug? I didn’t know anyone really cared about the jags now...lol

Terrible App. This app is ridiculous. I can’t ever access the stories due to having to “swipe up” on an ad to access the story. No matter how many times I attempt to “swipe up”, I’m not able to see the news story. What a pain. No thanks. News4jax is the way to go.

Great article. It’s great to have facts in light of a highly bipartisan culture.

Kevin Brown. Absolutely love the app. I get all the important news to start my day on the beach at Sunrise.

Amazing!. Very Good And Useful App!!!

Stop working. App stop working

Brian Cooper. Traffic should be easily accessible in the first window Ok

FCN. I just download it about a week ago so I don’t really have an opinion yet!

Tegna covers regional news best. Everywhere I’ve lived, from Maine to Florida, tegna does it best.

Timely notifications. This is a so-so app. The app itself is good but the news stories are very weak. When I receive an alert I open the app and there is no story. Just the one line headline. If it is news give me the full story. I know you want me to go the the TV but you make more on the app with advertising.

Annoying. I have your ‘settings’ set to NOT be notified about each and every sports thing - but it continually annoys me with ‘Jaguars’ everything! How can I stop this?!?!??

Great app. This a great app that keeps me updated on things happening around the city

Frustrating. This app continuously locks up, shuts down or does not respond. I just had to re-open it 3 times to read a story. FCN has great stories and their world news has a broad range...if you could only read them all without the app crashing. To echo another reviewer, PROOFREAD your stories! You all have college degrees! Use them! The grammar, spelling mistakes and just plain nonsense sentences are plentiful. Note: they should not be. Using a program where one can dictate the story into for it to type it out, is not working out for FCN. Stop being lazy and type out your stories. You make the area look incompetent when the local news media can't even spell correctly.

THE BEST IN NEWS : ). GREAT APP

Needs work. I seldom use this app because it does not provide as much useful information like another station's app.

Spot on. The weather that I live on . My yard and plants depend on adequate water to maintain the growth of my Landscape. Keep up the forecast!

Great App. Keeps me abreast of what’s going on locally and nationally in a very timely manner.

Freezes up.. App freezes up.

Traffic map. The previous traffic map is preferred To the new Waze traffic map.

FCN. APP.. I like FCN because it keeps me up to the newest news, on the second.

Can u stop the ‘we hate Trump’ mantra?. I mean, CNN is always there for those people incapable of discernment. We just want to know what’s going on in Jacksonville, not how much you hate Trump.

Jax game guitar 🎸 player. Absolutely phenomenal it was amazing!!!!😊💕nansgag17

App. Have to go through the app just to look for anything (need to add a search bar)
