Ratings and reviews

The Mr. Hero ad that frequently covers the whole screen when I first open the app doesn't always load now, so I cant click off of it, so I just have to close the app and restart it in hopes the ad won't pop up again. The embedded image galleries never load. So for articles that include photos I never get to see the photos. I turned off all video functions because the ads would stop any music I was playing, and I have the app because I want to read the news, not watch videos about it.

Completely useless! When you click on a story, you get a white screen. No point in having this app. Update 12/25/2021. App freezing is annoying. When will you send an Update to fix this problem? Update 1/6/21.. no change or fix in months. Every story freezes, you have back out and go back in to finish a story or try to before it freezes again. The funny part is, Every newscast, Fox 8 keeps telling us how great the app is and why we should download it. But the reality is the app is trash.

Annoying app! Jumpy and jerky when you go to the article you want to read. Then you get a bar to continue reading, which is also jumping around. Then when you finally get to the rest of the article, the screen goes white. WTH. Ready to uninstall and get a different Cleveland station. Update 11/11/20. Your app still sucks. Some stories open to a white blank page. I'm done! Going elsewhere. Would rate you zero stars if I could. YOUR APP SUCKS!!!
