The audio and video quality is well above average, with minor pixelation that cleans up within seconds after the story begins streaming.

The menu provides a well-thought-out and comprehensive list of every category. This allows the user to quickly find exactly what they want on the go. In addition the the standard news categories MyFoxBoston even includes local news broadcast favorites such as FOX Undercover, and Crime Files. Everything you’ve come to expect and enjoy from FOX 25 is included in the app.

The Weather section is extremely comprehensive and utilizes multiple methods to give you the forecast the way you like it. With the multiple categories you can get your weather news via the day’s broadcast, a seven-day forecast graphic, Live Satellite, and so much more. Regardless of the time of year, you can be sure the MyFoxBoston app will always have the most up-to-date forecast.

They have even included a Hurricane Watch section which, as we all know, is essential when you live in the Boston area and the threat of a Nor’easter could be right around the corner.

News Tips Allows Viewers To Contribute

Within the Menu there is also a News Tips section, at first I thought this was just a brief synopsis of how to use the app; instead, it is how you can share the news you find with the FOX 25 staff. Whether it’s a Photo, Video or even an email the app takes you step by step on how to provide Boston’s FOX News team with the best quality information to use on their broadcast.
