About this app
Headlines, live video and the network's on-air personalities are the core of the FOX News app, which covers US politics, business, tech, health and world news and pushes alerts as stories break. It's aimed at people who already watch the channel and want its shows on the phone as much as its articles. The live stream and on-demand clips play in picture-in-picture while browsing, with shows such as FOX & Friends, Special Report, America's Newsroom and FOX News Sunday. Articles can be saved, shared and commented on, with photo galleries and slideshows alongside. A listen section carries FOX News podcasts and live radio, including the Hourly Newscast and FOX News Rundown, and recommends stories based on listening history. There's also a games section with a Mini Crossword, Daily Crossword, Word Scramble and others. The app is ad-supported, and the listing says it may work with mobile advertising companies to target ads, with an opt-out via device settings.
FOX News: US & World Headlines: the full guide
What the app is
Built for people who already watch the channel, the FOX News app puts the network's shows alongside its articles. Headlines spanning politics, business, technology, health and international news arrive with push alerts, and live video and clips keep playing in picture-in-picture while you read.
FOX & Friends, Special Report and America's Newsroom are among the shows, with the Sunday programme too. Readers can save, share and comment on articles, with photo galleries alongside. The listen section carries podcasts plus live radio, the hourly newscast and the Rundown among them, and recommends based on listening history. A games corner adds crosswords and a word scramble. It's ad-supported.
How it works day to day
Morning begins with alerts, then the live stream running small in the corner while articles scroll past. A clip from last night's show fills a coffee break. The radio hourly newscast takes over in the car.
Evenings are for the shows on demand, with comments on the articles for those who want to argue. The Mini Crossword is the quiet five minutes at the end. Over time the listen section learns what you play and suggests more of it, so the app gets more opinionated about your habits.
Why people look for it
The search is from the channel's audience wanting its programmes on a phone without a cable box, and the live stream is the main draw. Alerts and the hosts' clips come next. A 4.5 rating from 100K+ reviewers is reasonable for a news app, where ratings often reflect views on the outlet as much as on the software.
Look and feel
Four screenshots are listed, one fewer than most apps here, likely covering the headline feed, the video player, the listen section and the games. News apps from TV networks use the network's palette, in this case blue and red, with video thumbnails dominating the feed and a persistent mini-player. Ad slots will be part of the layout.
Updates and upkeep
Version 5.49.2 is a fifth major line with nearly fifty minor updates, which suggests frequent maintenance from Fox News Network, LLC. The 4.5 average across 100K+ ratings is solid. The App Store is the only store linked on this page. How often the games and podcast sections get attention relative to the news feed can't be told from the data.
