Credit report stolen
Max Silver and Rick Harrison Houston,TX, said our identity had been used to open accounts at different banks and credit cards!bipoom
Too many ads!
I loved this app until the ads became too much! I deleted it.
Would like to give 5 stars...
App will freeze requiring a shutdown and restart. There doesn’t seem to be a place to leave feedback in the app so hopefully they will see this.
Ads launch automatically- please fix
Ever since the last update, the embedded ads that should require a click have been launching automatically. I’m constantly having to close an unwanted browser window to return to the app just to read an article.
Cool, but
The app works great but the interactive radar loads slow.
New 5
I know a lot of people come down hard on you but reporting the news how it is, is very important and I thank each of you for your hard work
Poor live feed.
Out of town during an approaching hurricane event. Tried several time to view “live feed” with no success. You guys need to step up your game on live streaming your news programs
Weather App.
The changes made on the weather app. Make it harder to follow and notifications are not reliable I am now using another app. Thanks Chuck
The ratings
This app is really that user-friendly. It’s hard to get live broadcast.
Nancy West
It would be nice if CBS would cover the whole news and tell the whole truth. Not everything just pro Democrats.
WKRG being the best is truly an understatement
ROLL TIDE 🤩☝️🐘🐘🐘😎😉
iPhone 11 app not working
2:49 1 Stay in the Know. Get updates from WKRG on stuck on this
WKRG subscription!
Have paid several months in the past and NEVER... have been able to view live news for the whole months twice. Will Not subscribe anymore.
Update is horrible
I used this app all the time. Just updated it and now ads run with sound ON even when the phone is on silent. Can’t watch videos at work with the sound on. Thanks for screwing up a good news source. Delete
App Freezes
While the weather and news content is very good the while scrolling through the first five or six news stories the app freezes constantly forcing me to close and then reopen. This is not an occasional thing, it happens every time I open the app. WKRG, please fix this annoying issue
Locking up
The app has started locking up as of the last update
Widget was removed with last update
The IPhone widget was removed with the last update. Please bring it back!
Review for Channel 5
We are new to the area and they’re keeping us informed on the events around us and The weather
Too many ads!!!
Constant ads and page reload. Try to stream video and page will reload multiple times with ad repeating every time. Try to read articles and page continues to reload with pop up ads. I choose wkrg as my news source at home but just can’t handle the ads on the app anymore...iOS user
A few suggestions
Could you PLEASE somehow not have ads before your weather reports and for your live updates during severe weather? It’s so aggravating to try to get important (and sometimes life saving) information through a live feed but miss it because of ads. Also, my app is now auto-playing vids, which wouldn’t be so bad if the ads didn’t play full blast even when the phone volume is turned off. This app can be aggravating/glitchy at times as well.
I need app to smiles behind the shield
I need app for smiles behind the shield
Terrible change!
I absolutely hate the new version of this news app. The previous was so much easier to navigate. This new version is identical to Fox 10 which is why I never like using the Fox 10 app. I really hope it changes soon.
Pleased with WKRG tv 5
I am a Mobile native, living in Moss Point, MS and grew up in Mobile during the time when we only had three channels and our floor model TV stayed on 5! I am so happy that 5 reports news in this Mississippi area. As I watch the news I am up on things in my home town and I feel so included when the weather map shows Pascagoula, because that is the town that is next to Moss Point. I feel so connected to Mobile via channel 5. I love ALL of you for the professional way you bring the news, breaking news, push notifications weather and sports! Missing Mel tho 😢 and I didn’t know I was going to cry 😥 on his last day!, but I did❗️his sister Roselyn and I were classmates! Continue keeping Mobile, Pensacola, Baldwin County, Moss Point, Pascagoula and surrounding cities informed of what’s HAPPENING locally and everywhere else!
Great
Peachie
They are there for us!
There are there for us!! Thank y’all for all the news and prayers are going up for y’all to be safe and stay well!! 💖🙏🏻💖
Why change app?
Understand the adds. You now don’t have option to just read the news on each story, but instead you have to watch it. If I wanted to watch everything I would just turn on my tv.
Great
If there was no news 5 app END OF DAYS!!!!!!!!☹️
Odd
Why it gotta be channel 5? Ridiculous.... y’all need a better name like 5 channel. Idk. Show me some pics of jars of pickles covered in mustard n sprinkles. Thanks
Ms Jackie Brown
