Tough to get the app on a regular basis. It sometimes loads and works other times defaults to Fox News Go which is usually news for the south or weather. Other times it just continues to spin and not load. I’ve deleted and reinstalled, have synced my accounts but just doesn’t seem to work.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent show, Tucker Carlson is the best. Love the new app on ROKU.

    Verified Purchase
    Really happy with Fox News. Happy with their update in the ROKU too. It allows me to see more clips than I could before, so I feel I get a good variety of news. I am sad Megan Kelly, O’reilly, and Eric Bolling are gone. Especially, Eric Bolling. It was really sad what happen to him. I am very happy with Laura Ingrahm. I loved Waters World with Jesse Watters, but now that he is on the Five, he has a bit of attitude and airs, especially against Juan Williams. I think Juan is very fair in my opinion and is respectable even though most of the people at the table do not agree with his politics. I like that he is fair and respectable regardless. I would like to see Waters be a little more respectable. I like Hannity, but feel he is a big one sided with his show verses fair and balanced. Some of the things republicans do are not good and should be reported against, but glad he tells the truth as he sees it. Tucker Carlson is my favorite! He knocks it out of the park every night! I love his facial expressions when he has a guest on that truly doesn’t have a clue about what he or she is talking about or who is out in left field. I like how he tells stories I care about, and tells the truth! I trust him more than any other newsman on television.

    Enjoy most of the different programs except for repeating narratives. Believe they would be better served by leaving minorities out of major time slots, and shorten their influence on air waves

    5.0 out of 5 stars Alexa won't offer Fox news.
    Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2021

    Its great to get the briefing but in the last week it will not even show as an option. When I type it in it seems to go but bleeps out. I ask alexa and seems fine then network not avaliable. Went into settings and actually requested it becuz its so oddly not there. Hmm.. wonder why. All stations avaliable are not telling news correctly with truth on both sides. Its always 1 side or always bashing the other. I just want straight up honesty and all sides of the story being told with no personal or political opinion. Let me form my own. Dont groom me to think a certain way. Its just terrible. People can't just flippin make their own minds up and form a personal opinion. If u r not persuaded then you are threatened. Everyone is to accept everything. I can go way back and say that even as toddlers we learn that valuable rule not to. Not to accept everything. Sad that toddlers form an opinion and actually can be bias from it.. but grown ass adults are afraid not to have their own opinion and value the facts in fear that they might also be judged or lose out on the crowd and popular votes. Wow peer pressure.. which in ways is simple bullying. Peer pressure sounds like u might have a choice but u really don't. . Now isn't that TERRIBLE? Speaking of children, we are their examples. When we don't hold ourselves and the values of opinions accountable then who will? Im seriously sickened by what our world has come to. Im so disappointed in people. And yes this all stemmed from me going rounds all wk with alexa because she didn't want to play FOX NEWS. Only ran CBS, NBC,and ABC and they were all beating the same dead horse. Over and over about Trump. Boy what would we all do if the news didn't manipulate us and get people mad and feeling wronged? It might actually be better off in the streets with less rage. And at the office dealing with others. Not needing to accept others choices or situations.
    I my own thoughts and being free is to be able to have them and live by them. Not needing to press anyone else to accept or think them. So...back to FOX NEWS .. where is it?

    1.0 out of 5 stars The Amazon Kindle Fire was mis-represented
    Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2012

    Monday, 10 September, 2012

    Amazon.com, Inc.
    Mr. Jeffrey P. Bezos, Founder, Chairman, CEO & President
    410 Terry Avenue, North
    Seattle, Washington 98109-5210

    Greetings Mr. Bezos,

    I am writing to you to explain our frustration about your product, the Kindle Fire.

    I have two daughter's, ages 11 and 9, that have learning disabilities and processing issues. The information that they read, they do not comprehend in order to answer basic questions or testing.

    My wife researched all of the available tablets and after months of saving our scarce and spare dollars, she went and purchased a Kindle Fire. The technician there loaded up the information that my wife requested, sold us a few necessary niceties and we were up and running.

    The clinical psychologist that tested our daughters this past summer, told us that it is not the answer to our dreams, but if my two daughter's could have their books read to them, they would comprehend better. He said that seeing the written print stimulates the visual cortex and hearing it stimulates the hearing center of the brain, thus bombarding two areas at once. No problem, my wife said..."we bought a Kindle Fire for that very purpose."

    Uh oh, our Kindle Fire has no text to talk option. My wife read literature that offered that very option before we purchased it. Well, maybe it just didn't get downloaded after we purchased it. We went back to where we purchased it and spoke to the technician that worked his magic. He told us off the record that that application was removed after it was advertised. We spent over $300 of our hard earned and scrape by money to buy something that was advertised to offer text to talk only to find out that it was removed.

    Mr. Bezos, I am glad that you were not there to see my wife turn scarlet red and sweat. That is why I am writing this letter. We can not afford to purchase another product. With gas going up, the cost of living going up, some weeks we have to decide...food or pay the rent.

    I am not sure what you will do or can do, but I am hoping that you will make this right. We purchased your device for the sole purpose of helping our girls. My wife struggles every week just to bring home enough money to make things happen. It just does not seem fair.

    Thank you for your time.

    Sincerely,

    David V Glorius
