User Reviews

Users appreciate the app for keeping them informed about local and global news and as an alternative to TV news. However, many report frequent crashes, slow or incomplete story loading, and poor navigation. Excessive, intrusive advertisements and irrelevant, frequent notifications also detract from the experience. Improvements in stability, ad management, and more relevant notifications would enhance the app's usability.

Pros

Keeps users updated on local and worldwide news.
Provides a good alternative for those without television access.
The app interface and icon have a generally positive impression from some users.
Allows users to select news that interests them without consuming everything.
News 5 is considered a trusted local news source by some users.

Cons

App frequently crashes or freezes when opening articles or navigating.
App often fails to load stories fully, requiring multiple attempts.
Too many ads that interfere with user experience, including ads on live streams.
Notifications are overly frequent and often not relevant, especially repetitive alerts about COVID-19 or out-of-town news.
Lagging performance and difficult navigation within the app, with no option to remove ads.

On wifi or data commericals still 30 sec. I will go the wifi as so so, but I pay for the data. 15 sec on data is enough. Read story and click/tap on video at start of story and better than 50% of time all you get is weather. The CofC loves you for that.
