FOX 6: Milwaukee News & Alerts

I hate the ads and pictures between paragraphs of the news stories. Very distracting and in poor taste Please update trending stories, from March??

I wish the app had Picture in Picture mode so I can change screens and still watch it 🙇🏽‍♀️

Updated review June 2023 “TRENDING” links on pages are old old old. They rarely change for months. I just read 2 articles and saw 3 obvious spelling errors. No way to contact the station besides calling or emailing. And the ads are possibly more intrusive than when I wrote my first review several years ago (below) Original review Often only the first 1-2 paragraphs of an article appear, and photos shown on the opening page aren’t in the actual article. Between that and the unbelievable amount garbage click-bait ads, the app is almost useless. The amount of spelling errors and other mistakes is atrocious. There used to be a link where you could tell someone of an error - that’s gone with this new, gigantic-ly corporate, non-local app. What is the point of this? To inform the local public about anything at all, or just to make money from crap ads about fake things? Milwaukee needs good people, good reporting, good anything. This app is basically useless.

Great out but we have a suggestion of Come binding the Fox 6 Storm Center and the Fox Six news app into one. Other than that they are the best in southeastern WI.

Fox 6's news coverage is about equal to the other Milwaukee area news stations, the app runs better than WISN 12's, and the ads aren't too bad, just regular local news stuff. However, if you have ad tracking disabled, it asks you to re-enable it every time you open the app. Not a deal breaker, but man it's annoying for those of us who want to preserve their privacy.

Don’t show scores of games when people are waiting to watch games until later

You will like this upgrade if you like ads and ads disguised as “sponsored content”. As you scroll down, stories that apparently they really, really want you to read repeat (this was also a problem with the old app). Does anybody actually click on the ads, other than accidentally? Sad at what that media’s attempt to share the “news” has turned into.

This app should reflect only current news, not news from many days ago. Create a news archive if you want to keep the stories. Example, there are multiple headlines of “Covid Cases and Deaths”, sometimes right above or below the other one with no date on them until you open the news item.

The same two Chevy and aurora commercials are played at the beginning of each video which are very glitchy most of the time, some freeze up at the very beginning and if you refresh you need to view the same commercial again before it freezes up again

They only exploit African Americans as criminals. Every post is if a black criminal.
