User Reviews

Users generally praise News 5 Cleveland WEWS for its local focus, easy-to-navigate layout, reliable weather tools, and live streaming. It’s seen as a trustworthy source with concise reporting and strong local coverage. However, recurring problems hurt the experience: frequent crashes or freezes, excessive push notifications with little control, and stale or repetitive content that isn’t updated regularly. Some reports mention intrusive ads and occasional feature issues (broken links or sharing problems). Overall, it’s valued for local news, but stability and notification controls need attention.

Strong local news coverage and trusted reporting.
Helpful weather features including radar, warnings, and closures.

It’s good to know what’s going on but should be able to change notifications for breaking news only.

We have recently stated streaming and found that we can not get Channel 5! Thank goodness that we can get the news and weather on our I-pad no matter where we go. We are now in CA and are keeping up on all the NE Ohio news.
