Biased news reporting. I had been a big fan FOX59, however within the past year I’ve noticed bias in their news reporting. Sadly they seem content with that.

Crashes. The latest update is driving me crazy. It crashes constantly, both on my iPhone and iPad. Scrolling through the newsfeed, it crashes. Open an article and start to read it, it crashes. Drives me nuts. Fix it!!

Dislike the new layout. The new layout is not aesthetically pleasing. The article titles look like advertisements or the click-bait articles for some hoax of a product. The layout before was so much nicer and easier to find articles. I will use a different local news app until the layout is changed. This one does not make me want to read the news.

Locks up constantly. All I want to do is read the news. The videos never work but that’s not a big deal to me. Sharing any article gives a strange link to a forwarder that never works correctly. And now the app locks up about halfway through any article I read. I’m over this, time to move on to something else.

Love , Love fox 59. I start my day watching , and end my day with Fox 59 alway up dated news and information I like the crew always lively with laughs keep up the good work your fan & friend kat 😊😜😎

Deleted because of advertising practices. They have deliberately over sized adds so you can’t help but click on them as you scroll. Opens add in your browser and takes you out of news app. This is annoying and extremely off putting.

Amateur ,not a news app. Too much fluff no substance Also any real stories from AP you must tap to get into Deleted this one Need a serious news app for a metropolis like Indy, not giggling puppy stories and Facebook posts that the editor considers real news. Look for a news source with real journalism

Grammar.. Grammar has improved greatly.

If you want old news. Get this app.. All the old stories hide any new ones. And the new ones (if there are any) are hidden in the the stream of old news. This used to be decent news app. No longer.

Great way to get news!. I am a person who does not like to watch the news on TV. I do like to know what’s going on in the world however. Getting to read it is more concise and I can read full articles about those things that interest me. There are some things I just do not like to see or hear the long lengthy things that TV airs.

What the heck…!. I updated FOX59 and sister News 4 apps as requested… When you click on app and try to read a news story, it is covered with ads that never end and just a tiny bit of text at the bottom which you have to attempt to read a line at a time.. Does a real person who can read ever try to use these apps? I am sure I am not the only one who doesn’t want to watch videos that take forever, I like to read the info at my speed.

Ads are too much. No matter where I touch on the screen an ad for hard rock hotels pops up. Practically unusable

So many Ads it’s hard to scroll. There’s so many touchy embedded ads it’s hard to scroll and see the news. The app freezes up constantly. 2 stars is probably overly generous.

Very agitated. I’m very agitated that I was forced to update my app if I want to continue to use it. Also, the app informed me of how to keep my personal info from being sold, but the toggle switches do not work. How convenient. I do not believe for a second that’s by accident.

Best new cast ever!!. Always on top of what happening day and night..best anchor teams ever!!!

Best News App Out There. Use it for everything! Weather, local, and national, news, sports, food reviews! You name FOX59 has in this app!

Picture in Picture. This rating is just for the app. They took away the ability to watch Picture in Picture. The actual news station is amazing!

I don’t need any other news. Everything is right here.......news,weather and sports plus everything is up to date!

Fox59. I don't miss a day without watching Fox59. You guys are awesome!! Brian Wilkes is my favorite. Hate it when he's not doing weather. Keep up the fabulous job you all do

Your fixes. I don’t know what you think you’ve fixed but now I can’t get yours nor CBS4’s to open on my phone. You’re my go to for local news so I hope this gets fixed!!!

Fox 59. Fox 59 is my go to channel for honesty in the news. Hate to see Ray leaving and glad to hear Lindsey is at home healing after her surgery. She has such a beautiful personality and smile.

Wonky App. Have yet to be able to use this app for more than a day or two without having to delete because the ads freeze up. Using an iPad, iOS up to date. Very irritating. Maybe I’ll just give up.

Awesome. I Like the Way they focus on Local News and Sports‼️My 9yr. old Son and I always watch Fox 59. Keep up the Great Job that You Do.

Quick. I don’t have to wade through a lot of screens to get most breaking news. So many apps contain news that is not current.

Great App!. We leave a few hours away from Indy. I use this app 2-3 times a week. Nice to see what’s going on around Indy. Very easy app to use with lots of info!!

Pooh. App glitches to much. Every time I click on a story to read it , freezes my Whole phone every time. Deleted the app reinstalled doesn’t work

Fox News. Fox News - Real news for real people.

We Are Farmers!. This app just loops commercials for farmers insurance. It’s difficult to get to where the ‘watch live’ feature actually shows you live tv. That has been an ongoing problem for months so it wasn’t just a bug. App is a waste of time and an insult to expect anyone to just sit through all that advertising.

App works great, but.... Like the app. It's one of the first I look at for local news. However, 1 gripe. When you give a breaking news update, please provide somewhere in the app these can be easily accessed. I've found times I want to refer back to the article but I am unable to locate it in the app. Please address this :)

Small print and wasted space. Too much white space in this supposedly updated app. Looks terrible with small print and lots of wasted white space on the screen with the story titles. Makes the stories look like ad after annoying add and those are the stories! The ads look great! This update could have ben done so much better by high school students.

Latest update is HORRIBLE. This latest update is unusable. So many ads it’s impossible to read a single news story...and then it locks up completely and you have to close the app.

Kate. I cannot use this app. A full screen thing comes up for activating weather alerts and it is too big for my screen. I cannot make it bigger or smaller. I cannot make it go away. I have used this app for many years but this is impassable 🤷🏻‍♀️ I am writing this later. I fixed this problem by making my text size smaller. 😁 Now I love the app again.

Fact Check of SOTUS Last Night. Very disappointed that your morning newscasters this AM (2/6/19) joined with fake news. They played a short excerpt from the speech on his economic comments. He said it is “ONE” of the greatest booms in history followed by it is “UNPRECEDENTED.” Both are accurate. You distorted the comments by pointing to 3 other times when it was surpassed. That may be true, but his statement wasn’t contrary to that. Additionally, the “unprecedented” part is our economy has never boomed with numbers like this for such a lengthy period of time. You need to be aware YOU TOO are being fact checked. Whether you agree with Conservative policies or not don’t follow the fake news media. If you want to maintain high ratings you’d better get it right and be aware Indiana is a Conservative state supporting President Donald Trump. REPORT HONESTLY and don’t be biased!!!

App Keeps Going into Background. I can no longer use this app in my iPad as it keeps minimizes to the background (not closing but disappears from screen) as I scroll through the news articles.

Not working. I download and redownload the app and it continues saying that I am not connected to wifi and to check my Wi-Fi or cellular connection and it is fine.

Why watch. Have cousin living there . I am in AZ. Good to see what’s going on where she lives .

Best news channel. I love FOX59 news they really keep me in tuned and up to date on everything that i need especially the weather thanks jom😉keep up the great job y’all ❤️❤️❤️

Needs Updated, Awful!. Freezes up so bad can’t read a single story. I’m a bit surprised out how long this has been an issue. It’s a shame, I like Fox 59, but this app is dead.

Ads everywhere. Too hard to distinguish news entries from advertisements

Too many ads!. Too many ads! All videos, unless you likes ads in the printed. Not for reading.

Might be a nice app but you can’t contact them. Might be a great app but if I can’t leave a comment from the app it ain’t worth a hill of recycled beans to me. You would think you could email or text them from this app. I guess I will still watch 59 on tv only as I am deleted the app.

Local News Option. I would like to see a local or state news filter option. I don’t need to see the national news stories with local stories sprinkled in. I only have so much time when I check the news, I want You to be my local/state news go to. But with out this filter, I may need to seek out another source.

Best way to get news when you have no television around.. I don't really watch television but I'm informed just the same with the app as if I were near my television.

Waking up to news. I love waking up to the latest news without the every morning it really helps my day go smoothly thanks to the weather and traffic updates.

FOX59. I love FOX59 new we can rely on them for new that’s happening around us they get the new out to the people sooner then any other new stations they have the school closings the night before or at four o’clock in the morning that’s why I like FOX59

Bring old app back!!. I like the previous version of this app.

App. My app hasn’t worked since your last update. I can’t get into it anymore for any news!!

Landscape orientation. I don’t like the New live part of this app! Are used to be able to run the news while I’m working and see the screen in landscape. Haven’t been able to figure out how to get the screen to l landscape. Probably won’t use it much now.

This app is trash. The app is slow, it freezes every single time I try to use it. Don’t know what’s going on but they need to get it together. Hasn’t always been this way so it’s slightly frustrating.

FOX59 App. I am a news junkie! I love to keep up with what is going on around me and my family and around the world! My family calls me Debbie Knox...lol. FOX59 makes that possible!

Forget This App-Very Poor Design. App was fine until some freakin genius decided "Let's make app NOT user-friendly." -App jumps multiple times loading a page (WiFi, 3G both) -Just try clicking anything past first breaking story. Haha, can't. You didn't want to read that anyway. -Confusing app structure -No way to scroll/swipe/arrow to next story. Instead have to go BACK out to main page and go back IN to another story. You guys are geniuses! -Stories days/weeks old AND very poorly written. No one copy edits these stories. Written by Middle School interns perhaps? No, they'd do better. JUST SKIP THIS AND SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE OF WRITING A REVIEW LIKE MINE.

This app just crashes and takes forever to load!. I am really disappointed in this app. The old app was functional. This one takes forever to load and then usually crashes. Plus it seems no news happens in Indy on the weekends....

The worst app ever. This has got to be the worst app ever in the history of the App Store. They filled it with so many ads that it crashes all the time. Don't bother downloading.

New App is terrible!. I can't believe they are actually promoting this as their new app. Basically this app presents their news the same way a bad mobile version of a main site would. It is klunky, hard to use, and poorly thought out. WTHR did the same thing last year...they had a decent app and traded "up" for a bad format. What is wrong with our news stations Indy? I deleted WTHR's app then and now I'm deleting this one. Here's the deal Indy news: download Channel 4 WTMJ's and try it...this is EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT! Get a clue please!

Objectively missing again. Video of a policeman pushing a protester using a cane in Utah? That’s what you see in rioting across the country? Media pouring gas on the fire. Pathetic, not the first time 59.

Change it back.. Now it is much harder to read, in particular the headlines in the "top news" section are in smaller font and no longer stand out from the rest of the garbage on the page. Plus the sliding menu system at the top might be usable on a tablet but not anything else. Plus, just moving through the stories triggers advertisements that launch the we browser, causing frustration and delay.

Cutting Edge. Easy to follow and very informative! 5 stars

New App. I really liked the old app. It had some useful news and was very easy to navigate quickly. The new app loads image frames, then enough text to start reading, then moves the text to resize the frames for the full images to appear. This creates a very slow and unfriendly user experience.

Not great. It works but crashes from time to time. Also very cluttered - like they were trying to be too fancy with the app. In mobile less is almost always more.

Worst. The “live” news isn’t live. It’s yesterdays news. They need to change the title to “old” news

Horrible. This app is horrible. I haven't been able to read any stories yet. The old one was great. Now, I would just rather go to another news channel app and read stories. Have always been a fox59 fan but def not a fan of this app. Disappointed.

Try again!. This app is awful. I had no problems with the old app. I relied on it for my everyday news. The new app takes to long to load, to difficult and is a mess to try to navigate. I deleted my other news apps. (Wrtv and Wish) I may have to go back. Not happy!

Not pleased. I don't normally watch Fox, but they had played a piece I was interested in on their newscast tonight. I didn't have it recorded so I downloaded the app to see it again. I tried at least 15x to watch the video with NO luck. Because I was frustrated, I looked on their app for a place to contact the app designer or SOMEONE with the station...but they have provided no link to contact them on their app . (At least it was not easily found) I'm unhappy and will delete this app immediately.

Update. Love the updated app! Much easier to use and the cosmetic changes look great!

Terrible new version. Change it back. This version is terrible. Format is awkward. Cannot find anything but news. No sports, etc. will have to delete app and use another local station's app. Old version was fine.

New Update HORRIBLE!!!. In my opinion this was by far the best app of any Indy news stations, despite the fact it was not accessible on the iPad. The update is a HUGE disappointment!!!! It is not user friendly, the news stories are very sporadic the main page scrolls different pictures but you can only see the story heading. Scrolling to the bottom to read "other stories you may like". And listed are crimes, fires etc. I don't LIKE those, that is a poor choice of terminology. I am all for updates and change but do it in a way that is a benefit to those using the app and counting on it as a way to effectively learn about the news stories going on in the city.

It is just fine. More up to date than the other networks, seems to have a lot more details also.

Crap app!. You guys need to fix this mess! Ever since your last update, this app is useless! Is it time for the interns to go back to school yet?

I like it.. I don't know what is with everybody else but I like this App. I use it throughout the day and get up to the minute news and traffic info. I recommend it.

Commercials :(. I loved this app it was part of my morning routine. Than they added commercials which I understand but it plays the same one over and over again and the news never comes on anymore :( I am deleting this app

Happy. I am very very happy with FOX59 news

Fox is better than Fake News CNN. Current Version for Apple iPhone 6s Plus loads kind of slow on Wifi & ATT Network. Otherwise it's a Great App for Real News!

Disappointing.... The old app was much better. I gave this one a try and am not impressed. It is very slow and confusing. The old app was easy to get to each story and no waiting. Go back to the old one please. I need to find another news station until then.

Best app for local news!. I love the new update to the app! The "near me" section is my favorite. Not to mention they have the best news team in town!

Fake news. Fox News is now fake news like all the rest.

Hate the update. I'm not sure why they updated to a junk app. I feel like I run in circles to find everything but what I wanted, will be looking for a new app with different channel till the get their head out of their ...... Well you know. you would get no stars from me but have to give one or i cant review sry wish I could go back to old app it worked

Frustrating. Constantly closes on me.

Bring back the old one PLEASE!!!. FOX 59 has lost touch with the people! Like the old one MUCH more, new is just too complicated. Could down load and read when not in a hot spot with the old version, not this one. This one is slow and hard to navigate! Please bring back the old one!

Horrible. This app is horrible! The old app was so easy to use and you could actually READ articles. Now, I'm just clicking around trying to be able to read SOMETHING. Needs to be fixed. Might as well be deleted since its useless.

Crashes. Want to use this app but crashes in 10 seconds every time I open it.

I love the news. You always help us to be the first to know!

Great Ap. Love this app! Frequently updated with great news stories, easy to navigate. Best app for Indy news I've found

Great App. The app is pretty easy to follow. And for the most part I can look on the app to see what stories were aired if and when I miss the news live.

Needs fixed!. The app keeps crashing or feeezing every time I open it. Very frustrating.

Best Indianapolis news site. After moving to New York I'm able to follow Indianapolis area news on this site better than any other Indianapolis news site I found. Keep up the great job.

Horrible. With latest update it’s horrible

Had to delete it. Whenever I'd get a notification of something happening live, I'd click on it to open the app with hopes of catching what's going on. However, the live video never gets going and I end up using some other app that doesn't make me wait forever for it to load. What finally made me delete the app was the addition of the Message Center. Do I really need another mailbox? And for news no less? I think flipping through the articles or clicking on a notification is quite sufficient, thank you! Sorry, Fox, but this is goodbye.

Gay. I have no problem with gays but why dose this group force it in your face next time you will have transgender doing the weather

New update. I do not like the new update at all. I love reading about what's going on around the world n also what's going on in my city. But with this new update I find it very hard to find out what's going on in the news. PLEASE change it to the way it was before this new update!

Videos no longer play. This was the best news app for Indy. Since the last update none of the videos play. I can no longer get the live news on the app. Very disappointed.

App is crap. Open and try to read news then app crashes. Doesn't work more than does work!

Commercials disproportionately loud. Fox is one of my favorite channel for news. News gets 5 stars, the app volume control 1 star. Commercials disproportionately loud which is very annoying and keeps me from using it, particularly with headphones. UPDATE: It appears the volume for commercials has been corrected. Thanks. 5 stars!

Snowbird. Used to work fine. Now crashes, freezes and forced closure shortly after being opened. Needs fixed or a total waste of time. Am deleting original app.

Frustrated. My app keeps closing before a story can be read. Uninstalled the reinstalled but still a problem. I will miss the app

Glitch. I use an iPhone 5s, I've had this app for over a year, about a month ago it started to glitch. A few minutes after opening the app it freezes, sometimes it doesn't even want to close. I have updated it and it still freezes :( Probably going to delete this app.

It's good!. The bad reviews don't make sense to me - rarely crashes for me. Love the ability to swipe around, and the livestream is the best of any other station's apps.

FOX59. I stay informed

Junk!!. Here is something to remember! If its not broke, why fix it!! I don't receive notifications with this new update, nor do the stories want to load in a timely manner. It's slow and pointless. Bring back the old app or you are going to lose subscribers!!

Poor. Yet another local station that needs to fire someone. Takes forever to load. Crashes more often than not. Layout is bad. In general, this is a very bad implementation. Old app was friendlier and organized better ... and of course, loaded quickly. The only thing this app does is take local news down to two stations: rtv6 and wthr. The new wish tv app is also bad.

SLOW & BUGGY. App slows my phone down to a snails pace. What is it doing, mining crypto in the background or something?? Ads galore.
