Liking to get the Memphis news
I No longer live there but I it’s home. Good to know what’s going on try to stop the crime Memphis the city is starting to be ugly !
Update IS Just unusable now
Gone to the website. It’s just completely unusable now. Just ridiculous how much it’s “bouncing” around trying to load several commercials in every conceivable place on the screen. That live stream is also adding to the demand. It’s just too much. The screen jumping around so much causes users to click on the wrong story very frequently. I just got out because it’s a waste of time now. Greed isn’t good. If people aren’t using the app they’re not seeing the ads. I’m on a strong and fast WiFi connection too.
Needs improvement
News articles are poorly edited and are not updated regularly on the app
Need text of articles not just videos
Many times I find myself in situations where I cannot play a video but the segments do not include text of the video. With todays technology, it should be a no brainer to include text with video segments. Also, the only way to get out of an article with only a video is to close the app.
Tornado
Hola yo hablo español en el 2003 tuvimos un tornado en holly springs Misisipi y ustedes estuvieron cubriendo la noticia ese día frente a mi mobil home destruida por el tornado. Me causa alegria ahora poder suscribirme a su nueva aplicación de WREG 3 así estaré más informada. Ojalá también pudieran dar las notificaciones de thunderstorms y tornados en ripley ms. Pues ahora vivo aquí y no tengo acceso a televisión por cable. Esto es muy muy demasiado importante para mi pues tengo 5 hijos y quiero que siempre estén bien y seguros. Muchísimas gracias. Ojalá muchas personas puedan activar esta aplicación también porque es muy importante pues no sabemos cuando tocará tierra el siguiente tornado. Gracias WREG 3
YOUR SOURCE FOR COMMERCIALS‼️
If you LIKE endless commercials then you’ve come to the right place. The app has become virtually USELESS for news stories or updates. Fox 13 has by far, the BEST local news coverage anyway‼️
Hardly functional
I'm writing this review during a severe weather situation and the live stream continues to freeze or turn off altogether. There's a higher ad to stream ratio, in an emergency situation I do not want to know about car insurance. I've given this a two star since it's not entirely useless but an absolute headache to deal with. Turning my device sideways resets the stream, which every time this occurs I have to watch another 15 second ad. I'm very disappointed.
Okay, but...
I like the app in general and the news articles are great. However, the app always locks up while in use.
Great news site!
Love your app!
Signing up is a pain
I try to sign up, I open the email which opens in a browser not the app, then the app says I’m not logged in! Useless
Fine, but
Everytime I use this app, it locks up. I have to open and close it at least 2 times before it will work.
No Return to Top Page
Need a return to the top of the page, while scrolling articles. Latest update has video that freezes up and the only way to fix is to close app and restart the app. On the weekend the app rarely refreshes news items.

NEWS 3 is always my “go to” for the most up to date coverage. Reports are always clear and concise.
Delayed News
Guess they want you watching the live NEWS because this is way out dated. Local news at a delay, basically useless unless you’re interested in old NEWS, nothing new nothing breaking!
Does not update well
The new version does not up date automatically well. I find myself having. To stop the app and restart it to get an update.
Few teases
Hate all of notification teases this app produces clogging up my phone. Have turned off all notifications and may be a step away from deleting the app. Do yourself a favor and be MORE SELECTIVE in what you push out for notifications for your own good.
News in a flash
If something is happening that I need to know about I can pick up my phone and count on News Channel 3 covering the story.
Don’t bet your life on it
This app is never right, it will be pouring down rain and it will show no rain until after the storm has passed, however the location is correct for where I am at. It’s useless, potentially dangerous, don’t trust it.
Y&R
Ch 5 plays Days of Our Lives Soap @ 1:00am when it is interrupted by Trump News!!! Y’all do Not repeat so WE can Watch it.... Please we will miss so much this week can’t y’all repeat it early in the morning???? Please Please do something 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Not only me but a lot of people watch the Number One Soap💞💞
I’d paternal money to toggle be able to toggle the ads off
When I’m using a News app and there is many ads as there are stories, it just bugs the heck out of me. One of the reasons I DVR my local news so I can fast forward through all the ads and get to the local news without someone trying to sell me something. Not asking them to stop selling advertising. I just want them to sell me the right to turn off the advertising when I don’t want to see the ads. I’d pay a buck or two a month to have that ability and that should be incentive enough for them to sell that product.
Be In the Know!
This APP is fabulous. I love the text alerts also. It is truly a way to stay connected.
The newly updated 2024 revision is NOT good for iPhone
The News 3 WREG app typically works and functions well. However the newly released revision of this app is NOT good for iPhone users. I have an iPhone 14. All stories appear in extra large type from headline to story. The user must scroll down the page to read and the text is NOT uniform which makes read and following the information more difficult. The large text throughout isn’t useful. The stories and added photos also cannot be zoomed within the app. Some photos can be brought larger but no zoom. It has become less user friendly with the recent update and revisions. I’m probably going to delete the app as it isn’t easy to use, find and read the content as it once was.
Best News In Memphis!
I watch WREG in the morning, noon, evening and night. It’s more informative and accurate in providing what’s happening local! I love the service it provides! Thanks WREG!
Font Too Large
This used to be the go to app for local news. Now, it’s unreadable after the last update.
WREG News #ROCKS!!!
Since Day One of downloading the WREG News App, I have thoroughly enjoyed the substance and quality of news provided.
message center
meassges center is not showing upon the app now and save stories to is not showing up
Thanks,Merry Christmas to all the cast
Some of the best outstanding people.
Screen Freeze
This app used to be great. Now, it freezes when opened. You can’t get past the first page when asked about updates. Hopefully, this will be resolved.
