1 ★ We do not need pictures with every notification I would like to be able to read the notification without opening up your stupid app every time

1 ★ App used to work...for the most part. It updated and now doesn't even open.

2 ★ This Fox 8 Cleveland app used to be a great app. Over the past few months (Not sure exactly when) the app has declined in usability. I will click on a story to read and after a few seconds of reading the story will just go away. The print will disappear and the background will remain; however, it will just be a white screen. Sometimes you can fix this by go out of the story and then back in 3 or 4 times but that's not a good user experience in my opinion.

2 ★ It use to be a good app. For some reason I dont get any news alerts until I tap on the app. Then when I go to read it it goes blank. Please fix asap

1 ★ 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!!!

1 ★ I used to really like this app. The last couple updates have been bad. Having to hit "continue reading" on an article I just picked to read is kind of annoying. When you pick "continue reading" the screen turns white and nothing. They have seemed to fix the bug that had me pushing "force close" a million times a day.

4 ★ 5/27/20: Great when it works. Been crashing continually for the last few weeks since update. Unusable. Send crash reports repeatedly, but still no update/fixes. 10/19/20: updated in July, but still unusable. Had to shut it down do to non-stop crashes & apparently no one pays attention to crash reports. Sad. 12/2/20 Finally working again. Love it. Just need better share option.

1 ★ doesn't fox 8 care about this app? I'm removing it as it has same problems for MONTHS now I will be reading story and it disappears to blank screen and try to back out and I can't I have to shut tablet off/back on .

1 ★ When opening any news item, the text of the article and any pictures/videos disappear. It suddenly goes to a white screen with only the blue header remaining. Can't read any article. Recent update did not fix the problem.

1 ★ I agree with the other reviewers, horrible set up, u read a few lines and then have to click continue to read, only to have another story pop up because the page shifted when u clicked continue. Just put the whole story, please, if people don't want to read it they will move on. Horrible

1 ★ Can't read it fast enough. Once you click continue reading, you have seconds to fly through the report before the screen goes white. But... thats if you can click the option as it bounces around the screen. Sad that nothing goes good for Cleveland.

2 ★ Update, 11-25-2020. App still awful. Maybe the investigative reporters from fox 8 could look into this. 11-30-2020, Kristi Capel had a baby, sure wish I could read the article. Absolute trash this app is. Negative 100 stars. 12-6-2020 , app still awful, is anyone trying to fix it????? Worst app ever. Maybe thay are going for the lowest rating ever for an app. 12-23-2020, app is working well now, time will tell???

1 ★ Used to really like this app but now I can't read the articles. Once I click on them they disappear seconds later. I uninstall and reinstall but it doesn't help. Ugh

1 ★ Awful app, gets worse with each update. If I could give it a negative rating, I would. It's been over a month, and you still haven't fixed this app. It's ridiculous how bad this app has gotten. I will be deleting it. The designer should be fired.

1 ★ This app often leads to a blank page after hitting a story. It is very frustrating. Other news apps, like wkyc and channel 19 never have this problem.
