  1. 5/5Download this NOW

    With the tornado outbreaks that passed through March 31 this app kept me updated with breaking updates. Even if my phone was idle on a table, Ron Childers’ voice alerts you when you need to pay attention. We’ll done channel 5 team! Appreciate all you did last night. 🙏💕

  2. 4/5Notifications

    The app is fine. It’s exactly like the competition’s app which is good also. It’s the amount of talking on a weather alert that both annoys and amuses me. We don’t need to hear every time “This is Chief Meteorologist blah”. Time could be of the essence with these weather alerts. Imagine having an ego so large you have to let your viewers hear your name and title when a tornado could be seconds away from blowing them away. The competition just states the alert which is all we need or want to hear.

  3. 1/5Faulty app

    I have a very new phone and keep my apps updated. This app is so frustrating! If you go to watch the last news show, most times it will begin at 14 or 21 minutes into the news. It constantly dumps you off or if you are lucky enough to actually get it to play, it will stutter and repeat lines. Total waste of time. Also, if there is an alert about any weather, yes, even sunny, it won’t let you close that alert. You have to click on it to do anything. Which usually makes you have to log out and then back in if you want to look at anything else.

  4. 4/5Fix the 24 hour futurecast feature

    Everything works great. I’ve just noticed the last month or so, the 24 hour futurecast only shows radar up to a certain point and then lags. My app is up to date and it doesn’t matter if I’m on WiFi or using phone data. It does it anyway. Please fix.

  5. 4/5No Audio??

    Love the radar feature, and sometimes want to take advantage of the videos about the upcoming forecast. However, lightly, while there has been audio for the advertisements, there is no audio for the actual video forecast. What is up with this??
