User Reviews

Users mostly like the app for reliable local news and ease of use, but the recent redesign caused widespread usability problems, including weather issues, messy navigation, and intrusive ads. The white interface and lack of dark mode are frequently cited, along with a preference for returning to the older version.

Pros

Up-to-date local news coverage.
Easy to use and handy on iPhone and iPad.
Credible weather coverage with the local weather team.
Valuable coverage for the Arkansas River Valley.
Overall positive sentiment and reliable access to news.

Cons

Weather data loading issues and inaccuracies across the weather/radar features.
Post-update redesign causes broken layout and difficult navigation.
Excessive ads and pop-ups detracting from reading articles.
Bright all-white design with no dark mode option.

5News is my favorite! I always turn them on first. So friendly & down to earth.

Ever since the new update the app is absolutely trash. I always rely on the 5 news app for weather and since the update, it always says my location is in Fayetteville even after numerous times I’ve set my location to Fort Smith and have my location setting on. Half the time the radar and weather even load. I have to constantly open and close it for it to be set to Fort Smith and for it to even load.
