4/5Why would you take away accessibility
If there’s one thing I really liked about this app it was that I could highlight a paragraph or two of the article and I could choose from multiple options such as “copy”, “look up” and “speak” using my iPhone. This allowed me to have the article read to me in a monotone voice while I worked on other things. The recent update however, took this accessibility option out. Why? It was one of the best functions of the entire app. I would appreciate if it was re-added in the next update And would certainly allow me to give us up at five.

4/5New Ads Crash Phone & LOUD
I don’t know what kind of new update or advertising content has been used but I get MORE loud, sudden, unable to close ads on this app than any other one on my phone. Be it the “Congrats Google User” bogus, the “your phone has a virus” pop op, or a sudden video playing somewhere in the background that makes my phone freeze until I close the app completely. Thousands of ways to get local news other than dealing with crappy apps. Your website is now more user friendly and convenient.

1/5Terrible
New update?? I love Fox 8 for my news but this app it terrible. When I open a story I want to read I have to another button to open the story after I already opened the story. They call it continue reading but I just opened it. It is the most inconvenient thing and over half the time it’s the reason the app freezes and I can not open the story I wanted to read after opening the story I wanted to read. I was hoping with this new update the developers would have fixed the bugs and issues with the app but I can not see any changes. More features? Great. Fix the ones you have. If it’s too much data that is slowing or causing to freeze try to not repeat the same stories over and over. It would free up data and make the app run smoother.

3/5Love it when it works
This app is my buddy when I am getting ready for work, but it is the most frustrating app ever. It is constantly stopping on its own...you constantly have to keep hitting the play button. I counted at least 30 times one morning. It will also shut down on its own and of course you have to endure the commercials every time you start back up. If there was another Cleveland station I would watch, I would, just so I wouldn’t have to start my day so annoyed. Please fix this!!!!

1/5Can’t even read the stories anymore
I used to love reading all the stories daily but whatever update was done is terrible and now I can’t even read any stories anymore..the “read more” to read the rest of the story normally makes the whole thing go haywire and I don’t get to read it or when you click read more it takes you to a completely different story that you didn’t even click on..so disappointed because I enjoyed reading the news but I just deleted the app it was just taking up room in my phone. Only looking at the headlines on the homepage isn’t enough haha and when you try to read it you can’t..please fix!!!!
