Excellent. Always on top of what is going on in the area. My favorite source for accurate, up to date, non-biased news in the NW Florida and South Alabama area.

Much improved new app for a local news station.. Plus good news coverage and the best Weatherman in the country!

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.

Very good app. I love WKRG news, Facebook, and this app. Everything I need to know is right here; the latest stories, traffic updates, weather and news alerts.

WKRG 5 Sports Overtime. What a good job Robbie and Jason did putting together the Jus Cuz segment! Thanks for considering the Jus Cuz for your trip! Next ones on me! Capt’n Albert “Cuz” Stinson

Wkrg. I love WKRG but sometimes when I get an alert about a new story, it’s not there. I tried finding the story about the brawl from the spring breakers after an alert, but it was not there.

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.

Pathetic. I have off and on down loaded/deleted this app many times all because I rarely was able to watch one of the videos. I was full of hope that maybe by now they would have fixed this issue, but as Hurricane Laura makes land fall I am unable to rely on this app.

Review. I watch wkrg 5 for breaking news and weather

Review for Channel 5. We are new to the area and they’re keeping us informed on the events around us and The weather

Getting better. The best news station, the app is still a bit lacking. Click on a notification and story not found way too often.

Mel Showers. Look forward to watching Mel Showers when we visit Destin each Summer. Wonderful career and the best newscaster ever. Thank you for your service!!! Carl from Fort Wayne , Indiana

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

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!

Settings modified but not working. I got this app today and have already deleted it. I updated my settings so I only get weather alerts. However, I keep getting Top Stories and Breaking News alerts.

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.

Live in Texas. Live in Texas but from Mobile so ck my app regularly. This app is better than most

Channel 5. It is good to hear good on the news in the Pensacola area

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.

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

Retired. WKRG news five is my go to news source and all of the weather sports etc best source in my opinion

Worthless. This version keeps freezing and is unusable after 20 seconds. It started with the newer update .

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.

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!! 💖🙏🏻💖

Worst News app from the worst news station in Mobile. The app never works right, plus I get tired of the stupid breaking news stories with one sentence saying crews are on the way to the scene, and then never any updates on the story. Deleting the app after I post this

Mobile / Pensacola's News and Weather. Very informative and helpful source for the latest news and weather for the Mobile / Pensacola and gulf coast region

Too many ads. News 5 loves their sponsors too much. As soon as you launch an ad appears. They over-cover some topics such as the ‘controversial’ Waffle House arrest and try to create a rift between law enforcement and the public. They are quick to antagonize the police as if they are trying to create a Baltimore situation. As far as politics go, they are far too quick to slam republicans but back liberals when they want to increase taxes and lower the standard of living. When Moore was running and the allegations can out for him, they insisted on showing ‘her truth’. Truth does not take sides and there is no such thing as my truth or your truth. They failed to show that these women came out publicly, some before some after the election, saying their accusations were false. This station might as well promote fake news. People are better off relying on their neighbors or their hairdresser for news. The only great thing about this news channel is the weather. Adam and John are the real MVPs!

Very professional and informative!!!. Great crew day and night !!!

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

Need to Broaden Coverage Area. Channel 5 does a good job of reporting current events if you live east of I65, in Baldwin County or Florida. They rarely cover stories in West Mobile or the county with the recent exception of the Semmes crime ring arrests.

Losing confidence. I have been a WKRG watcher for years and now rely on the app for my news while traveling and have been very disappointed in the turn it has taken. Incomplete stories, very limited news, misspelled words and in the last few months all kinds of computer jargon in the middle of the articles. I start with WKRG but finish my news with Fox 10 because the stories are better written, more news and variety, and I am better informed through their news app.☹️

Locking up. The app has started locking up as of the last update

Overreporting. Ridiculous over-reporting on the shooting last night. The public should not be watching SWAT missions live. To say nothing of an hour and a half is not enough time to notify one’s family before blasting it all over TV and the Internet!

Good News. I am all the way in Houston Tx. And it makes me feel soooooo good that I can check on my Family and Friends in mobile.

WKRG NEWS CAST. If I wanted to know everything going on in the panhandle, I would watch WEAR. To get news for the Mobile area I have to watch WALA. I used to really like your station, I grew up watching Max Goodman and the Big Show every afternoon when I got home from school. Now however, I am forced to watch news on WALA, that never gets reported on your news cast.

My favorite News Channel. Love my morning news show, it starts my day everyday. And John Nodar and Alan Seals are the best meteorologist in America. They make us feel safe.

Always watching!. Feels like home - watching Channel 5!

Instant News. Love current news on everything. Enjoy it at work, where we can’t use the internet

Better than other news apps. This station app usually just gives the news and doesn’t give too much of a political slant. However sometimes the app freezes or just has a blank white screen.

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

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.

Good Coverage. Lots of news, but I can’t read many stories since the story appears encoded completely.

Too many ads!. I can hardly get videos to load before pop ups load all over my screen. I could not get the "watch live" feature to work either.

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

Junk. The app is junk. They play ad before you can read or play a news video. You are forced to watch the video game ad. The ad is too loud and appears to others you are on your phone playing video games. I would recommend another Fox 10 news app or even NBC 15 app to get your news and weather. I’m not sure why you are forced to watch a loud video game ad

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

News coverage. I am so sick and tired of watching Florida’s news ! There is enough of mobile news to cover,just because you now have the Pensacola airport as a sponsor doesn’t mean any of us care a fig about them and their issues.i don’t care and will change my viewing habits sorry John nodal,

Ms Jackie Brown. It’s wonderful having my favorite news announcers come up on my phone . Please stay well. You’re important to our community.♥️🙏🏼

Nancy West. It would be nice if CBS would cover the whole news and tell the whole truth. Not everything just pro Democrats.

Enjoy watching & reading the news we are from Pittsfield Massachusetts. Thanks

Best app for Mobile, AL. This is the best app for Mobile, as the ratings show. It uses the very reliable doapp interface which is good and doesn't get worse with every update as some. The alerts are really for breaking news - no spam. And the regional, national and international news sections mean you don't really need any other app for news. Also the strange news section is great. It has the value of an entertainment app combined, with very funny picks.

WKRG NEWS. It’s informative

Love WKRG!. Best programming, newscasters & meteorologists ever! Only way to start the day.

Good app, but really needs to be up to the minute news. Living in Mobile, AL I use this app often. However, it would really be great if it had an "up to the minute" area. Most of the time when I go look at the local news here, the articles are a couple or a few days old

Crap. App continuously crashes! Too many adds!

Poor performance. App hangs up constantly!

Coverage. Poor coverage on local events. Just a headline and then nothing.

Great job. Good, thorough stories. Sometimes grammar errors.

Add city. The adds are coming, the adds are coming. Every time it opens, there's an add. Every time you load a page, there's an add. Every time you back out of a page there's an add. I understand making a little money off of add revenue but I'm gonna go nuts if I see an Alfa add or a mobile regional airport add again,but Other than that it's a great app.

Mr YNOT. Why does TV Schedule not work?

*5*. It is the best on line local news there is, I work a lot of hours and keep up on Five

Wkrg NEWS. I love being able to check what's happening in my state. And surrounding areas!

Great. If there was no news 5 app END OF DAYS!!!!!!!!☹️

WKSJ Rated#1. We enjoy watching WKRG News in the morning and afternoon. I also enjoy reading the articles posted online daily.

The ratings. This app is really that user-friendly. It’s hard to get live broadcast.

Advertisement. What’s with the advertisement EVERY time you open the app???? So annoying.

I need app to smiles behind the shield. I need app for smiles behind the shield

Weather Site. This is my very favorite site to check the weather! Love it!!! I check them all but this one is far superior! Nonie Reed

The Best.. This app has it all. It runs smoothly. It has all the news you need. That including local news, headlines, politics, etc. There's a daily outlook for the weather that I really think is useful. I think this app is a lot more useful than any news app or weather app on the store. Definitely 5 stars.

Wkrg app. I have the app on my i phone and to quit working . I dont no what to do i loved it but it wont load up anymore and i dont no how to fix it ???

OB Angel. I love WKRG. They are always on top of everything.

Not for iPad!!. Not completely compatible with iOS on my iPad 2 (yes, up-to-date OS). Dead links, bugs and likewise abound. The older app worked great. Needs major bug fixes for iOS!!!

Unhappy with changes. Please update the traffic portion so it again is near the top (easy to access) and area specific. Mobile traffic is such a problem and that feature was a major factor in using the WKRG app!!!

WKRG ROCKS!!!📺👏👏👏👏. WKRG IS MY #1 TV Station!😎❤️😍🎭❤️

Great Apps. Love KRG! Worked there back in the late '60's when they went from b/w to color; primitive compared to their technology today. Both apps, WX and News, work flawlessly.

Cool, but. The app works great but the interactive radar loads slow.

App Freezes Up. For the past few months the app routinely freezes up.

Traffic maps. I find the real time maps of area traffic to be a must-have viewing many days. Great news reports too.

Great. Peachie

To onesided politically. Did not hear one remark about Brennan informing Obama about Hillary’s plan to discredit Trump . Why ?????

Great Local App. Very helpful for weather and local news. Never have a problem with the app. Highly recommend.

CHANNEL 5. AWESOME 👏🏾 NEWS STATION

Weather. I like Wkrg but bring Alan seales back and send that ed guy to 15.

Good app but.... Not many new news stories on the weekends. Also, it crashes too much.

Like the notifications. The notifications are great for keeping me updated on news and even traffic.

The BEST. This is the best news app in the state. The layout of the format is great. Please don't try to improve it as you could only screw it up.

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

Great news app. Very informative and up to date news

Staying Connected. I live in the Midwest but grew up in the Mobile area. Great to check daily on what is happening in the area to discuss with family still in south Alabama. Thank you for the chance to stay connected!

Good weather app. I use this app primarily for its weather radar functionality. I travel quite a bit and like how it always shows me the radar local to where I am, however, I would also like to be able to look at the weather at home when I want.

OK App but news content is lacking.. The app seems to run OK but WKRG needs to update the news content more often. Some of the news stories are as much as a week old. Only a few new stories are added daily.

Useless!. Love their tv weather coverage. This app is useless!! All it does is give headlines.

Updates. Very slow loading app. Used to run smoothly but now seems very buggy. Hope to see some changes soon!

Great. Everything I need to know and looking for! I will always give news 5 a 5 star rating

Good stories, bad editing. I have high expectations of news formats from televised to online. WKRG's app has consistently lacked an editorial review before stories are posted. At times, articles suffer from poor grammar, misspelled words, and incomplete sentences. Reporters/writers should know the difference in "there, their, and they're." They should also know how to quote citizens who comment on a story. Please incorporate an editor with writing skills.

Ads, ads & more ads. Pick a format. Any format. I prefer the column ads. I have looked at these advertisements. Stop the moving, pop-up & full screen ads. I do not look at these. In fact I put these advertisers on the don't use list. Sometimes these ads cover the article I'm trying to read. Otherwise I really like the format. Looked for another way to send feedback but could not find it.

Thanks. This is just what the doctor ordered I was born and raised in Mobile moved back here to care take for parents it's just as I remember

You can teach an old dog new tricks. I enjoy your app. Since the newspaper comes out as regular Haley's comet I find myself turning to the Internet for update to the minute news. Not necessarily your strong point. It would appear more current if you deleted news more than a couple of days old.

Keeps you up to date. Great App! The alerts will keep up to date during your work day.

WKRG being the best is truly an understatement. ROLL TIDE 🤩☝️🐘🐘🐘😎😉
