FOX 13 News - Tampa Bay for Android
It used to be good. Now the floating ads that take up half the page and you can't read the friggin news stories. You guys butchered and destroyed what used to be a good app.
Used to be my goto app for local news. But over last month or so the ads have become so frequent and obnoxious, I am uninstalling.
Watching the live stream in full screen mode shows an ad at the bottom that cannot be removed. You must scroll the screen to see the bottom. This is awful.
Enough with all the ads!!! Its bad enough u stuff them down our throat on tv I don't need to be interrupted while I'm trying to read an article!!!
Your screen is taribble check out channel 8 or channel 7's screens you might get some ideas oh and the streaming is worse always buffering, bearly a 1 star, used to like it
I used to like the app, but with the last update the pop-up adds are very bad. They take up about 1/3 of the bottom of the screen and are hard to get rid of. I have deleted this app from my phone.
This app will only show videos for top stories, local news ect, there's no ''written" stories
Hating new layout of articles. It was fine the way it was.
I love this app but when you try to watch the news live and take so long on always put you on pause or never comes on at all
I love the Fox 13 News app it is great and when there's a severe storm coming Paul is right on the money thank you.
I use primarily for weather and traffic. It was great during hurricane. Wish the ads weren't so overpowering.
What is with all the ads, ads, ads, or worse, the same video ad for an Internet/cell phone provider company repeating, if i click on the news panes, read an article and click either my back button or the app back button, it dumps other articles that i havnt read yet...I did figure out though that by sliding the main screen panel to the right, you scroll down to the Fox 13 Broadcast button...not the Live broadcast...this will open the video pane just like the original app was designed...you get horizontal, or landscape video without the annoying top and bottom banner ads cutting the video size down to 1/3 of your screen...Im using a Galaxy Note 4, this also works on my outdated Galaxy 10 tablet...????????
Too many pop up ads.
Like the app but can no longer watch video forecast of the weather. Always liked to start the day with it but can only get the 7 day forecast now. Whats up with that?
My morning good friends.
Fast informative News when I need it. Love Fox 13
Good way to keep up with all of the news in Fla.
This is a great App.
LOVE IT
Intrusive ads eat up screen space on an already crowded format. You need the revenue, I get it but give us a break already.
Prefect for our area. Breaking news, weather,sports. Videos and articles must have app for Tampa area.
The annoying pop ups have ruined my news reading.
Weather section does not work like the old one not as good
Way to many pop-ups can't read the articles
Good app, at least I can start reading the news BEFORE I get hit with ads...and I LOVE 13's team!
Awesome.
I like the News
Really like to be able to watch the news and weather anywhere.
Very informative and easy to navigate.
Good news Thanks
great app
Awesome
Nice
I miss being able to rotate my phone sideways and the app allowing me to click full screen. Also the stream has gotten much worse. There used to be hundreds if users today only 180 online. Fix the stream please!
App is ok other than the ads popping up while you are trying to read a story. It's very annoying. But what good is it to complain they won't do anything about it. If it ever does improve I will put it back at 5 stars.
All content is negative, depressing, and sad. There's positive stories out there too people. Deleting the app before I lose all faith in humanity and leap from a bridge.
what's the Fox 13 News app. In the past the app was great! Now the quality has diminished. It's full of ads,ads & more ads it's rediculous I wouldn't recommend the app. There are plenty of other local news streaming apps without the garbage of adds in your face 24/7 and it's painfully obvious Fox and its affiliates do not care.
Unreadable on home page since last update. News was good but doesn't matter if u have to open each article to see what it is. Type is to small on home page and letters are unreadable superimposed on the pics.
Love watching news in the mornings on my tablet in our sunroof. Only problem is it keeps on freezing up. Can you fix this PLEASE.
