5 X 5
I created a new free account with the news channel 5 news app, and now the app continues to crash when I try to open on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. Will try reinstalling. Never had this particular problem with other apps, yet. Thanks. (Edit : reinstall worked. Thanks.)
Your radar isn’t working on the app
Your radar isn’t showing anything on the app.

Great!
So glad you are extending the 9 o’clock broadcast! Love all you do and all the people that are on!
Weather radar not updating
Within the past week my weather radar has stopped working. It will not update to show current radar. Very frustrating especially during severe weather
Good content. Lacks editing at times.
The app is very easy to access and works well consistently. I use it on a daily basis. Sometimes the articles have an embarrassing amount of typos, but overall quality app.
Outdated News
This app is consistently behind in releasing news. Each time I open the app the same news from a day or two days ago is still there & that days news is nonexistent. Rarely current. Although I do love the channel 5 TV news this app has faltered. If it continues to lag behind I plan to ditch the app for one of the other local news stations. Prove me wrong
Family
Channel 5 has been the choice of my family to watch since I was a little girl. I’m 63 now and Channel 5 is still my choice. It’s like family. Good people reporting the news, whether it’s good or bad. It’s my choice to receive the news of the day, local, international. Sports, politics and entertainment. Don’t forget the weather. Their coverage is superb. Informational consumer topics. Local news covering the Channel 5 viewing area and surrounding counties. News Channel 5 is my choice and I’m sticking with it.
Top local covers
Great photojournalists and news team. My go to for Nashville and the surrounding area
Logic wrong
Tonight’s stories. First - opening stage 3. Next - COVID 19 cases in area on the rise! Does that seem wrong?! If cases are on the rise, pull in and self quarantine. And for heaven’s sake, don’t depend on the government to tell you what to think and do!
Video is horrendous
I have been trying to keep up with the Virus by watching the mayors briefing everyday and I have to say your video streaming service both on the website and app is almost unusable constantly freezing and buffering. I will probably be going to a competing news crew soon.
Reliable local & national news
My go-to source for local and unbiased news. Love the investigations of issues on both wings of the political spectrum. Easy to navigate, especially the other local news stations!
The app is useless
Since the last update it crashes upon opening. Totally unusable it’s been like this for weeks
News 5 app
I enjoy the ability to keep up on local news for middle TN. I also like to keep up on the local weather. The only thing that I find an issue is that weekend weather is not current or updated like weekdays.
LOVE IT!!!
The only thing to improve is keeping it updated & I wish you could zoom in, Other than that I love it!!! I check it daily and even receive notifications as well. That’s how I stay updated since I don’t always have time to actually watch the news…
Broken app.
Sorry guys but I’m deleting the app. Every time you start to read a story and get halfway through it. It goes crazy and loses the story you’re reading. It’s useless.
Notifications not working
Notifications don’t seem to be working at all.
Channel 5
Nashville’s best! I always know the news will be true and accurate, and delivered in a professional respectful way. Channel 5 keeps me informed on local and National news.
Not current
They don’t keep the stories current. We bombed Iran over 12 hours ago, and it’s not even mentioned yet. This is constant and has been for at least a year. New stories every few days, but only a few. They let old things stay on there (even out of date weather).

—hands down, end of story. ❤️
False claims
1 star because they said it was supposed to snow and I was going to a concert for my birthday and I didn’t get the tickets because they said it was supposed to snow and now I’m not doing anything for my birthday and my whole birthday is ruined
A Kentucky girl
This Kentucky girl loves channel 5..it’s where I go for news and weather.. I never miss them unless I a good reason. I use this app for the headlines and stories when I miss the real thing and I can stream it all when I get back home..but the app lets me know what is going on until I can watch it at home..there’s not a weather person on any of the other channels like Bree Smith..she takes the time to explain what is going on and what we can expect from it..I love this app to keep me updated on what is going on..
App Crashes
The app freezes up after closing each story. I have to reopen the app each time I want to read the next article. This has been ongoing for some time. I’ve been waiting for an update to correct the issue; however, it’s still ongoing.
Great Station
I've relied on News Channel 5 all my life. I'm 47 & I grew up watching Chris Clark as a kid with my family. I live across the line in Ky but have always relied on channel 5 for the most accurate & up to date weather & news. You guys do such a great job! I would just like to ask if you could please fix the interactive radar to be more user friendly. That's all! Thanks for all the hard work!
Terrible app
This app looks like it’s first version. Nothing exciting about the news. Looks very plain. It has only basic headlines. I’m sure Facebook news is much more informative. Get a new app designer.
Quick information
I like this app ability to keep me informed when I don’t have time to catch the local news it also allows me to go to their investigation section and find out about people who Phil Williams or one of the many reporters have uncovered some of our politicians or just everyday people who violate our laws, and most stories have led to criminal prosecution. On this app you get more information then the actual newscast with links to document that their newscasts just doesn’t have time to show also we now have winter tornados becoming common more than snow and their weather app is a must have I’ve installed this app on my iPad, desktop and cellphone I’m a native of Nashville so if I’m not able to tune into the live newscast this app is most effective.
Great for weather, bad for news
Weather is very accurate but news stories are often click bait with little to back up headlines
