Fox Biz app is called "solid and newsy"

Joel Mathis critiqued the Fox Business Network application and gave it a positive review.

Mathis writes, “Perhaps because it isn’t laden with the ideological baggage of its sister channel, Fox Business comes across as a solid financial news app. The front page offers a glance at the major stock indexes, along with a series of the top news headlines and short videos from the channel. Like the Fox News app, Fox Business offers push notifications of updated news.

“But what separates Fox Business from, say, the Wall Street Journal’s iPhone app (also part of the Murdoch empire) is the live video feed. True, you won’t need it if you’re near your computer or a television, but it’s still neat.”

Later, Mathis writes, “In the end, the Fox News and Fox Business apps are solid and newsy, but they don’t feel all that Foxy. Whether that’s good or bad might depend on how much you want access to political rabble-rousing from the comfort of your iPhone.”
