FOX 8 WVUE Mobile App Reviews

Far away. Always in my heart, even if in Arizona my heart is back home in Metairie ❤️

Ghost text. I have a ghost text that I can’t get rid of when I downloaded the new app on my iPhone 16 Did everything they said to try to do to get rid of it. None of it works. I turned my phone off. I booted it back up I tried everything they said to do when I googled to see what to do and none of it worked I just can’t get rid of it.

Best Live News & Weather Apps. I have tried other news apps but FoxLive news & weather apps are the best of them all. Keep up the excellent work on get out news& weather alerts. Go FOX8****

Notification do not coordinate with website. Sorry to criticize your app and website system but it leaves a lot to be desired. You send a notification text about a breaking issue, you click the notification that brings you to the mobile website and the issues you texted about is nowhere on the cover webpage, that is if you can get past the full page adds to get there. Sorry, it’s really useless.

Actual news is difficult to find. Plenty of nearly worthless video clips, sports new and weather. Actual current hard news is difficult to find and not posted front and center.

Used to be good. Not sure what happened but this app is now terrible enough I’m leaving a review. Even at local news hours, it’s a crapshoot if you get local news or some random newscast from around the country. If it plays at all. 3/4 of the time I get a video playback error. And way too many commercials. If I wanted news from somewhere else I’d get a different app. This is dreadful. Please fix it.

Can’t get app to open. Ever since this app changed formats I cannot get it to open… I get alerts but can’t open the app to read any articles.. This version is horrible . Also I couldn’t post this review with one star, had to put 5 to post SMH

Scam to the Elderly. You have ads that mislead the elderly thinking it is coming from Medicare or Social Security that actual coming from Scammers. You can only change your Advantage plan is at the end of the year before 12/31/ or you pay a late fee. Everyone else received extra help during this covid 19 time, but the elderly food up, gas up and medication up. It’s has been a terrible year for the elderly with no Doctors, Ochsner not treating us right. We need help, Not scams Please stop this ads on T. V ., web site.

Too many ads. Tried to watch the news live through the app and all I got was an infomercial for a skin cream that wouldn’t end. A 20 or 30 second add is understandable but not an infomercial. I’m done - deleting this app. I’ll get my local news elsewhere.

Awesome News Channel. You all Rock & Look great on Fox 8 news! Thank you & God Bless you all!

Annoyed at functionality and ads. I’ve download this app on my Apple TV and it plays mostly ads over and over again, and mostly grotesque, ambulance chasing attorneys ads, not the news I’ve tuned in for. It also seems to freeze every so often on an ad and needs to be closed and relaunched to go back to the news broadcast. Both my app and Apple TV are operating on the most up to date versions available. I’m likely to remove the app if this doesn’t improve soon. It’s a frustrating way to start my day, when I’m just trying to get the info I need to go about my day.

Never updated. Please update stories more often. Same old things

DON’T Download Latest APP. Downloaded the latest app and wasn’t able to view this app any longer. Title page comes up and then the program stays/hangs there. Have iPad running iOS 14.4.2.

Morning News. I never was one who would wake and turn on the news, however one morning I did. I watched and enjoyed it so much. We see so much going on with crime, in politics and Mother Nature, but yet fox8live morning news lightens up all the horrible things they need to report by bringing laughter to the news. Life is serious enough but you have to have laughter and humor in your life.

Better reporting than Wwl. I like that the reporting is better than most local news apps but it gets so crowded out by all the trashy ads that I easily frustrate when trying to use it. Take out the ads. Also. Please have a local news section even a Northshore news section would be great too. I don’t like that all of the news is all mixed together. I really don’t care about all the sports or entertainment news in my regular news feed.

Font too small. This app used to have a decent sized font that made it easy for older folks to read. New app had feature to adjust it, but it didn’t work. Looks like they removed that completely now but the fonts are still really small. Just lost this reader!

Does not work!!!. This app does not work, I am deleting it from my phone! I get news alerts, and when I try to get into them, the app never opens, very frustrating!

Can’t open the news articles. I get the alert but when I click on the story is doesn’t open. Frustrating! Deleting the app :)

Amazing!. Amazing how they can continue to improve the quality and amount of adds but the actual content you’re trying to get to is still garbage.

Site RUINED by pop up games!. Why do you all allow all those STUPID pop up games when you are trying to get news headlines? You have RUINED an app I USE TO USE ALL THE TIME!

Advertising. Just got a tornado warning on the phone. Switching back to Fox 8 on the TV and the power goes out. Tried to go to the app and have to navigate through commercials to get to the critical weather report. Seems like in those situations you forgo the revenue and get to the appropriate screen right away. Gary Gamble La Place

What’s with the update?. Ever since the update, the app crashes before it opens. I can’t read the news, check the weather, nothing. Please fix!

Review. The previous app was much easier to navigate. There are at the end of scrolling down stories that are weeks, if not months old. Either update them or delete them. Plus, I really dislike advertisements. I’m looking for news, not advertising.

Could be much better!. I have this app to get local news, but many of the stories lack depth, leaving me with unanswered questions. On top of that, there are many grammatical, spelling and punctuation errors. Don’t they have editors?

George Floyd. Getting tired of Fox8 constantly reminding people about George Floyd. Liz Reyes had this graphic video on the news last week and now I see it on my phone. Keep dividing the country. The police officers who were there , especially the officer who caused him to die, are all going to prison. What else are you looking to do. I hope your ratings go way down.

No more channel 8 news for me!. After decades of loyalty to channel 8 news, weather and sports, I sadly have chosen to move on to other news, weather and sports sources who do not interject false political accusations of our previous president and very little about our current most incompetent president of all times. This is a local news channel , not a George Soros propaganda source. I will miss the great weather crew most of all.

Alerts. You started sending out unsolicited alerts on my phone to watch the news on TV. Do it again and I’ll remove your app!!

The App on the TV. I can’t play the news on my smart tv. The App isn’t available 😔 otherwise I love this news

Not User Friendly. It is very hard to find a segment that you watched on TV to get the information you may have missed. In this day and age it shouldn’t be this hard to find information on this app. Other local TV stations have easier app.

Dependable.. I depend on wvue for news, sports and especially weather. The staff has earned my trust.

Fox 8 app. I’m not a big fan of the new fox8 app. It’s not like the old app where you can get on and go straight to the news . Instead now they have advertisements playing when we should be able to get the news not random advertisements.

I want the old app back. Ever since they updated this app it now has loud commercials like the others. Can’t navigate it like before or read in silence. The app freezes so you can’t move locations in the app.

Unusable. Since the new version, I cannot open a story to read it. I click on the story, it shows up for a second, then disappears and just shows a blank page. On the iPad, it’s even worse. This used to be my news source - no more.

Professionals. The cast of news anchors is amazing at their jobs. I Look forward to seeing the funny aspect of the broadcast and the serious portion of the news daily. I appreciate all of the news personnel in front of the camera and behind the scenes. Thank you all.

Getting better. App is better but won’t allow me to share store within app. Please check.

Tired off the same story…. Please lets focus on something else now.. there wasn’t that much time spent on the state troopers that killed the black man an the governor seems to have know about the incident… what’s going on with those officers an why are they still employed… I seems like all 8 talk about now is the mayor and / or the chief off police.. give us More news not tabloid stories.. I hate the news now.. I use to watch 8 every day all day.. it seems like y’all are just over killing the situation…

Great News Coverage here. Love this news media

News for LOCALS. I used to only look at the other 2 stations news apps. But once those apps updated, all you get is ADS and SPONSERED news from around the country and you can't weed out the local news from the bloat news. Fox 8 news app features our own local news and it's not shoved over with bloat news and ads. Please, Fox 8, please do not change your app to look like the others!

Bad update. Your new update on the mobile app is not good! There was nothing wrong with the app before you updated it and now I would rather find another news app. Ads pop up randomly while reading and the the app is messy. No good flow to it!

Ads ugh. This app is getting to be a pain to use. The ads popping up randomly and frequently are just unnecessary. It’s my favorite news app but just don’t want to fool with it because of this. Seems like it just started recently, if it’s some type of bug it’d be great to have it fixed.

App crashes when trying to open. The title says it all. Immediately after tapping on the app, it crashes. Over and over again.

ED Commercials in the morning????. You may not want this channel on in the morning before school aged children are headed out to school. ED commercials are not appropriate in the morning. We switched to the local NBC morning news and they also have ED commercials so now we’re watching the local CBS morning news show and so far so good. In the evening we’re all about Fox News. But cannot handle local fox in the morning; I don’t care to explain to my 12-year-old son what ED is.

Why build an app. First off, I have never received the live stream through this app. I can go to the website and get it. Second, all the news story headlines are browser links. This app has been horrible. I have a better experience by using safari, and adding the homepage bookmark to my home screen. The video links are the most annoying with 30 second ads, and if there is an interruption, ie phone call, you have to re-watch the ad.

Hate the new app. Had a very difficult to find my way around plus it always shows. I have a message even when I cleared them.

Redundantly. If you continue to show the same redundant commercial while trying to look at your site , I’m sure you’ll loose more viewers than just myself .

New update. The new layout of the app is not user friendly. In fact is appears smaller in font and more of a pain to get to multiple stories because you have to scroll so far down to make sure you actually see all the news. I feel the pictures take up to much space and what happened to the “Trending” portion of the news?! That was the interesting part because you knew it was the most updated part of the news. Not happy with it at all.

Too many ads now .. Used to be a great app, but now it’s just as bad as the others . It’s almost impossible due to the positioning to not click on an ad while scrolling . I’ll be deleting off phone and iPad . Y’all should be ashamed of yourselves for selling out

FOX 8 is the best BUT .... FOX 8 is the best, but the new app is awful. The app is not user friendly and the adds are way too much. I used this app several times a day, but I will not be using as much, it’s frustrating. Please do something about this app. Thanks!

Good app. Didn’t give 5 stars cause i get notification on Lock Screen that something new is there (number beside icon) when I go to the app there is no indication of what is new. Clicked notification icon and nothing is there.

Fox 8 Weather App. When Will The New Fox 8 app Be Out they Said On The News Today That They Have A New App Out I just updated this app this morning And Every time I open it this App goes off can somebody please help me I like this App I like to read the News it might still have A Bug

8 News will not open. Will not open

Weather notification was positioned where lighting was and not seesherelocation!!?. Not good too much monkey business like the zOLD system!!!

Not opening. App immediately closes

Will not load. Down loaded the app on my I-7 and it will not load. The The Spinney thing just keeps going in circles and more circles and more circles and will not load. - Useless

Update. Don’t like the new update. Looks cheap.

Extremely disappointed. Won’t update. Was a better app before last update. Horrible service.

Update :.(. After the software update, this app no longer works.

Update. New update causing app to crash. Will not load now.

N Da beaux. Great news source .

.. I love this news channel

Fox News. Always late news.

Media misinformation.. Legacy media lies. When will you learn?

Can’t open. I just downloaded new app It want open New iPhone too 😭😭😭

Needs a lot of work/extremely aggravating. When you open the app, it goes straight to an advertisement that sits there for a few seconds then allows you to exit. Most of the time when you click the x, it takes you to safari and tries to load the Fox News website. You have to go back to the app to access it. The push notifications seem like they just want to make sure you know that you have the app. If you do click on the notification, (and after you go through the previous complaint) the story is nowhere to be found. You have to dig through the app to find it... I've had the app for awhile but I'll be deleting it now.

New app. Just updated. Liked the previous app better.

Too many ads. Love watching the Fox 8 news on tv but their mobile app bombard you with ads. Just deleted it.

NOLA LOVE. I truly love my FOX-8 news family..braking news..update..weather NOLA LOVE

Commercials with a little NEWS splashed in. The amount of commercials is ridiculous!

Volume problem. Can’t get any sound on the live tv.

New Release. Do not like the latest format. Awkward and disorganized.

FOX 8. Best for local New Orleans news and happenings.

Hate the new look. The new look with the last update is positively horrible.

Offensive to me. Stop putting swift on as much as yall are! She offensive to me from where she came from to what she is now!!!!🤮

NOT FAKE NEWS. WHO DAT!

Too many ads!. Too many ads that won’t be closed - even after hitting the “x” many times!! I think it’s a timed thing - not an elective thing, as represented.

Wanted to see interview with Ochsner rep this morning. Stream keeps stopping.

New app. New app needs

Not working. Since update this am the app doesn’t work

Poo-Poo. Every since I updated my Fox 8 News App it won’t open

Get new update. App crashes all the time. Fix problem please

Ad Filled. Way too many ads . Liked the older version

Fox 8 News Apps. Way overburdened by long Adds. We get so many adds no one is influenced by them. They make the app a waste of time

Annoying sounds and no where to turn it off!. I can’t use this app when I’m public b/c of the annoying sound/music

Opening app. The ad pop ups upon opening app are insane

Review. Not user friendly. Contact button is useless.

Love fox 8. Fox 8 the best love all

Too many Trump Ads. Nice content but way too many Trump ads!!! Not everyone wants to read local news and be reminded of the country’s pathetic president.

Bad app. The ads on the live stream is crazy. They cut the news short to throw in an ad.

New App. Very clutter d and stories in random places two to three times. Very in organized and ads are huge...

6.2.9 broken. Dev group check 6.2.9 update released 2 days ago. The app crashes nonstop

Ms Patricia Dillon. I LOVE THE FOX 8 Family And FRIENDS CANT WAIT TO MEET MORE MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY KEEP SMILING BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE

Horrible update. The app opens just enough to push an ad - then nothing else.

Old version much better. The new version is horrible. The stories are repetitive and this version is not as easy to navigate. Bring back the old version.

Wont work. Cant get it to open on iphone just spins

Used to be good, not anymore.. Too biased for me now. I’m looking for news not opinions. Bye.

Crashes. The new updates crashes.

New update doesn’t open/-/-. Update doesn’t work—at all—-

NO OPTIONS DOR FEEDBACK FROM THE PUBLIC. W

New format. Don’t like the new update/format! Go back to a simple list of the news

New Version....(sigh). Well... I was going to raise my stars to 2 stars after they fixed the video from changing from horizontal to vertical but... alas... the app now crashes at random in the middle of a video or at the end of a video. They are still not updating their video segments much and instead of news its all of their "Fluff" stories. (whos having a fund raiser, how to cook something, silly junk) Barely any news. I would also like to see some function that allowed me to start the first video and it play all of them in the order they are listed as well as being able to just select one story to view.
