1/5Worst App Ever
This is seriously the worst app on my phone. The search is absolutely terrible - like I can type in the exact headline I get on a push notification and still not find the article. The ads are horrendous and often take over the whole page. So I hardly ever take the time to open for an article - just read a headline. I was hopeful for the latest update because it was a major UI change but now I can’t clear the red circle notification on the top of the app icon on my home screen no matter how many times I come in to clear the notifications page in-app. So I’ll probably end up deleting the stupid thing.

5/5Great app, very informative
Love it but I hate that the sound comes on if you click a story. I wish the story would come up and then you have to hit the sound to turn on.

1/5Find a different app if you want to get news around the Cincinnati area.
Butler County (West Chester or Liberty Township) had a fire around 11:30 on Sunday, Feb. 15. Nothing on the Fox19 news site. When you find the “Sections” carefully placed along the bottom of the screen, you get a menu along the left side. Please, go ahead, select “Butler County”. Then, look quickly because it is mere seconds and then the only image is all the ads. I took the Fox19 weather app off my phone for the same reason. I looked at ads, not news or weather. My advice is - select a different Cincinnati news feed app until there are vast improvements made to this Fox19News app. You will be much happier. Maybe, maybe, there will be improvements and the app will be useful. For now, not.

5/5Clergy
This is my go to channel for all my latest fast news as I am most of the time rushing out. I need to exactly when it’s going to rain, sleet, snow, or a pleasant sit outside day. I need to know about my Bengals, reds, bearcats basketball and football. I get that with “19”. So keep up the good work!!

2/5Down near the bottom
The only reason this isn’t a one-star review is that their local news is sometimes a little better than other local news outlets. Otherwise, the app is poorly constructed and maintained, and almost never fixed. The present update does not load on my IPad. The last version could never load current news versions without first loading, and then unloading, the video update section. Other comments about commercials are right on.
