| 2025-01-20 |  | | Channel 5 is the best! |
| 2024-12-23 |  | | I downloaded this just for local news. Used to find it with no problem. Now I can't find it anymore...why? Will probably uninstall if I can't find it. |
| 2024-11-11 |  | | Certain commercials get so loud you'd think there is a club party in the house!! The app simply has a volumn control issue. Nobody seems to address. I like watching the news but not screaming at me. Hopefully they fix it soon or uninstalling with bad reviews. 11/11/24 It apparently has not been fixed, the sound problem. Some commercials are so loud, just trying to eatch cannel 5 news. Going to uninstall the app and find something better. Unfortunately the app is on my tv. |
| 2024-10-25 |  | | Horrible. I told it to install on the TV, but it never showed up. |
| 2024-09-09 |  | | It's a good app for information on and around your area you live in. |
| 2024-08-21 |  | | This app use to be great, now all it does is play the first 3 news stories over and over again, and when you try to scroll through to get to the rest of the news it plays the same 4 advertisements over and over again, currently they are political and it is the most annoying thing ever, now we use haystack because it's way WAY better and doesn't repeat over and over. Don't bother with this app. |
| 2024-08-10 |  | | Plays repeat ads for months. I watch the local morning news each weekday, and I've been seeing the same ads for their programs for over a year. Some ads play every commercial break for 30 seconds or a minute, meaning I've watched several hours of these programs through their ads already. And since the ads never change, I have to believe that the program content doesn't, either. I see no reason to bother watching their programs as even the ads are stale. |
| 2024-07-29 |  | | I like this app very much as I can get the weather and news anytime. |
| 2024-07-08 |  | | I love picking shows on my cellphone and get to watch my local news. The only issue I have is I don't get to have a section I can store my "favorites" ♡. |
| 2024-06-01 |  | | We have thoroughly enjoyed this app. Many stories regional. Would be nice to have this more local. 😀 |
