4/5Love Fox 12, app is OK but could be great
Good- stream live broadcast to TV via AppleTV works well. Andy Carson and team are the best meteorologists in Portland, with the most consistently accurate weather forecast (not overly sensationalized, just accurate). The layout of the app is perfect. Bad- the ads don’t work properly half the time. I’d love to just watch the forecast every morning, but to do so requires restarting the video two to three times to get past the ad. Offer an ad-free version and I will pay for it. Or at the very least, make sure the ads work and don’t stall the app/video playback.

1/5Very poor update.
The latest update turned this app from friendly and usable to a very unstable, barely functioning app, overloaded with long repeating ads that just randomly start playing. The top stories are almost never current. The live feature to watch the news and good day Oregon used to be a bit glitchy, busy at least worked most of the morning. This new app can’t even make it through one commercial break without freezing or you’ll see a never ending load circle. There are no longer video controls, so then you have to reload the app, just to have it happen again. In theory, the new menu should make the app easier to use, but just the opposite has happened. I will have to delete this app and no longer watch good day Oregon! 😢. Bye Shawna and Kim, Andy and Tony. I grew up with you guys. We don’t have cable anymore so this was our link to good people and quality news. No more.

1/5New update is terribly disappointing
I’m not one to give negative reviews… but I’m finding out this new version of the app to be a massive letdown. Several of the features I’ve come to rely on for simple news and weather access seem to have disappeared. For example: where’s the 7-day weather forecast? Also, I really dislike how news articles are followed by advertisement “articles” that are presented to look exactly like the news stories! Paid advertisements should look distinct from news, so viewers don’t assume that they’re something they’re not. That’s basic journalistic integrity. I sincerely hope FOX 12 revises the app soon. I’ve used the FOX 12 app for years. But sadly, I’m not finding it to be an effective way to get the news anymore. I’m afraid I may need to resort to a different station for news, even though I’d rather stay with this one, largely because I love Mark Nelson’s weather forecasts the best!

2/5Used to be a good app
This used to be a good app to where I could start the day getting the latest national and local news. But for me this app over the past couple of years has gone to good to not so good to worse. I don’t like ads autoplaying with audio as it disturbs those sleeping nearby. I don’t appreciate having to watch the same long Trimet ad with every video that is opened. That is disrespectful of my time. In fact, I don’t use this app to watch videos, I just want to read the news stories. Just recently, many news stories are now video only, preceded by a long ad. It’s got to the point to where I’m searching for a different news source. Please bring back the format from a year ago.

1/5Frustrating
I can’t stand the sudden loud notification noise that happens now with notifications starting a couple days ago. I don’t know how to turn them off. I also dislike that one you have a story or something to tell me you put a little red circle on your app. If I want to go into your app, I’ll go into your app. I don’t wanna be drawn into it by a red circle then 12 or three on it. It drives me crazy. I really don’t use your app anymore because of it. I just go to 8, 6 or two and I used to love your app. I also can’t stand that suddenly adds pop up and I have to find this tiny little bar up on the top to return to the app to move forward. I mean how much difficulty do you expect a person to put up with. I don’t want your app so I can watch adds.
