FOX 26 Houston: News & Alerts App Reviews

Its a really good app thanks

Good overhaul. I like the easy access to weather from the front page as well as the quick access to the live stream. While the app is fairly standard and contains a lot of things people take for granted, it adds some much needed functionality over the previous iteration.

Forces you to stare at an ad when opening app. No thanks and deleted.

Was the best out of my 4 local station apps, now its about 3rd out of 4! They never update it with news, this is the last news app to get news, I have to look at other stations if I want up to date! Plus they never add news on the weekends, like nothing ever happens on the weekend! If you want local Houston news 13 and 11 news has much better apps! And they are updated way more frequently! I only come to this app when I want to look at last weeks or last months news!

Great update to the app. Much faster load times. Good job!

Update: Need support for new iPhones. Fix notifications to open to news covered stories being notified about. ______________________ 1st review: Came back to this app after it was rebuilt and its growing on me however I hate the splash screen. Take forever to load.

I tried to use it.

I like reading about local news. I even like getting the alerts about traffic jams or flash flood watch. But they have redefined what is "breaking news". I do understand whats important to some is not to others, but they now use breaking news alerts to tell you to watch the news at 9.

Really not worth the trouble. Loaded with ads. Loads and functions ok but news is not updated often enough. By the time you read it on this app you will most likely have got it from somewhere else. Ads are annoying too. You are liable to trigger one while swiping.

Gave up on this sick puppy when ad blockers for safari came out. My $1 spent on an ad blocker let me skip seven ads on one page alone. Blocker vamoosed the click bait stories from taboola and all of the other cheesy content farm crappola this app burdened you with. Dont get this ad money grab and instead visit their website with a dollar blocker. Happy times ahead if you do.

The text of each news article consists of paragraphs each separated by ads larger that the block of text. Might as well try to read news off if Facebook. There is nothing this app can offer for Houston news that several other apps dont do better.

Always accurate and up to date. Whether Im looking for next day or my Heavily planned week out trip, this Fox26 app is incredible thx yall

Best news station ever

Short but adequate news coverage. Gets to the point without mounds of continuous related or unrelated reports.

Great source for up to date local news and weather.

This is the only place I use to get local news/weather and everything else. The best there is!

I have had the Fox 26 news on my iPad and iPhone for the longest time now. Its great during storms, or hurricanes and even sometimes just to be able to watch during lunch while Im sitting at the beach. I recommend Fox 26 news app.

I am glad to have this news available at any time. I can stay updated with the most current events.

I have had this app on my phone and iPad for years. It is very informative on what is happening on the hour. It keeps me updated on the latest news and weather.

Wonderful news Updates at a glance. get news instantly without turning on TV or waiting to have it reported--maybe--on the radio. Can select which news story for more detail instantly.
