Crashes consistently.

I've had issues in the past with the app freezing but this was minor for the most part. After the last round of updates the app only opens one out of 10 times. Logo appears then it crashes. I've deleted and reinstalled. Still crashes. I've reset my phone, still crashes. I've all but give up on it.
Best News App

Fox8 has the best news app. It gives me the current happenings in national and local news. They give you the information you need and do it in a non-biased professionally reported journalistic style. I depend on the Fox8 news app and the Fox8 Weather app to help get me through the day.
Advertisers paradise, users nightmare.

Lately when I use app and read stories reported some pop up advertising ad comes up and I cannot read story. Advertisement doesn't have a close x location. I have to go back to main page 2-3 times before I can finally read story. Same ad keeps popping up. Deleted app and reloaded. Same thing.... Arrrggghhhh.... Guess Fox8 getting paid well from advertising.....
Great News Feed

I can keep up to date on all local news and stream it through my APPLETV. We dropped cable due to extreme cost increases and use Amazon Fire to watch TV. So the FOX 8 news APP is a bonus. Love it. From the GUNNYS Head Pass the TP
What is up with the pop-ups and re-directions?

I really like the Fox 8 app, and I've used it for years. Since the last update, though, I've been plagued by pop-up boxes and re-directions to random websites and various apps in the Apple app store, without my having done anything more than starting to read an article. It's quite frustrating. I may have to stop using the Fox 8 app at all of this continues. Update: The pop-ups have actually gotten worse. Now, there are loud, unexpected video ads that start as I'm reading articles or closing them. Bad move, Fox 8! I'm going to delete the app. Update February 2018: I had reinstalled the app and found a lot of improvements. I’ve used it for a long time this time, but there are still some “bugs”. There is a “ratings” link that leads you to send an email to tell how the app could be improved, but the email simply can’t be sent. The “send button” does nothing. I’ve added my reply here, since I’ve taken the time to type it, only to find that the company doesn’t care enough to provide a valid link to make suggestions. Here’s my response: Opening some articles leads to viral “YOU’VE WON A PRIZE” pop-ups that you cannot close in order to read the article. Also, some of the paid advertising is obscene. There was one ad box advertising something about enhancing “your Johnson” (yes, it used those words). I could really do without those, and I’ve actually deleted the app in the past due to similar issues. I’m seeing fewer pop-ups than before, but it really seems that there shouldn’t be ANY on a professional news app.

Love Katie Nordeen. Better news than WXII. If I want to find out what’s going on in W-S, Fox has it. Thanks Fox.
