5/5No 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.

4/5Annoyed 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.

5/5News 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!

5/5Morning 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.

5/5Fox 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.
