Takes forever to open a story, and with many stories it says it must be opened in a separate browser. Tried to use the "contract us" and a blank page appears. Waited for about 4 minutes just to see, and nothing. Not having any other issues like this in any other apps I have installed.

I have used this app for quite awhile and have been very happy with it...until recently. I am only able to open stories in my browser...so what is the point of the app. Very disappointing

After several app updates, still crashes, and when I do open up a story, I get a pop up Add from Facebook that prevents me from reading the article, with no way of going back, unless I completely close the App, about to un install again.

**Update... Just when I thought the app couldn't possibly get any worse, it proved me wrong! Now EVERY time I attempt to open a story the WHOLE app CRASHES!!! I am so BEYOND Done with this shoddy excuse for an app!!** This updated version is terrible. It freezes & lags EVERY time I attempt to use it. This used to be my FIRST & ONLY choice for my local news, but it's just NOT worth the aggravation dealing with this so called 'improved' app!

Whatever you did to the app, it is not working. It knocks you out of the app everytime you try to open an article and when it is working, it sticks and won't let you go to the next article. Please fix this. I love reading FOX8 news!!!!

Reinstalled figuring surely you had fixed the app. Most recent update means you cannot even open a single story. Might need to invest more in qa. Whoever you have paid for this should refund your contact. And now deleting again.
