WREG Reviews

I'm writing this review during a severe weather situation and the live stream continues to freeze or turn off altogether. There's a higher ad to stream ratio, in an emergency situation I do not want to know about car insurance. I've given this a two star since it's not entirely useless but an absolute headache to deal with. Turning my device sideways resets the stream, which every time this occurs I have to watch another 15 second ad. I'm very disappointed.

This is a terrible app. For one it wasn’t written for the iPad. They took the iphone app and stretched it to “fit” the iPad. It is distorted and terrible. Also, in WREG there is a question “ Do you like the this app app?” It’s an image and you can’t click yes or no. So they are pulling some sort of fast one over on you making you think you could rate it WREG . What a joke.
Finally, the ads play fine (makes them money) but videos don’t. They buffer and don’t stream at all.

terrible app

I was a die-hard WMC News Channel 5 viewer until a few days ago. They were getting too much like the Big Biased news media! Love this app, never looking back.

Lately whenever I open any article for a news story it kicks me out to safari and opens a link to an ad that never opens. Just a white screen. Also when you go to any story within the national headline, the back arrow in the top left corner goes away and you have to either close WREG to get back to the Home Screen. The button “Home” doesn’t work.

Need a return to the top of the page, while scrolling articles. Latest update has video that freezes up and the only way to fix is to close app and restart WREG . On the weekend WREG rarely refreshes news items.

This is at least the third time in a month I've seen a worrisome news alert from WREG on my lock screen, swiped to open, and found that not only does the story not open, but a matching story cannot be found. This morning it was something about a "dire warning" for Tennessee from the White House. I'm done.

If something is happening that I need to know about I can pick up my phone and count on News Channel 3 covering the story.

News Channel 3, don’t watch it, the weather guys are really really bad. Most weather reporting is essential but instead of using split screens to allow regular viewing they use the entire screen.
They constantly interrupt regular programming and give you the same information over and over and over. Especially Tim Simpson who does nothing through out gibberish like a teenage girl.

Always current and accurate news reporting and coverage by professional reporters

NEWS 3 is always my “go to” for the most up to date coverage. Reports are always clear and concise.

I feel bad, because i am sure this was meant to be an improvement, and someone worked hard on it, but i may have to find another local news app, because this feels even more like i am being programmed. Where did all of the stories/articles go?

Hate all of notification teases WREG produces clogging up my phone. Have turned off all notifications and may be a step away from deleting WREG . Do yourself a favor and be MORE SELECTIVE in what you push out for notifications for your own good.

The update this morning has completely changed the format of WREG. I used it because as a senior citizen it was easy to read the stories but now everything is in small print and so close together that I can no longer enjoy WREG.

A new ad was added to WREG which spins along the bottom of the screen like a casino wheel scrolling. Very annoying when you are trying to read. I deleted WREG and added the local abc app to take its place. I already have the local nbc app.

I watch this app in the morning, noon, evening and night. It’s more informative and accurate in providing what’s happening local! I love the service it provides! Thanks this app!

WREG is fabulous. I love the text alerts also. It is truly a way to stay connected.

They don’t post news, but only click bait. Certainly not an unbiased source either. If you want actual news in Memphis, go anywhere else. Seriously, your dog will likely have more actual news about Memphis. WREG and news station is a sad joke.

Since Day One of downloading the this app News App, I have thoroughly enjoyed the substance and quality of news provided.

I truly love it! I keep up with the goings on In Memphis and that makes me happy! Highly recommend

WREG is LOADED with junk “news” stories. Really nothing more than advertisements.
All these tv station news apps were never intended to be self supporting. They were supposed to provide NEWS. Instead this this app app is nothing more than a platform for advertising and another way for the station to make more money‼️
Unless you really like ads, DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME DOWNLOADING IT‼️

Some of the best outstanding people.

The new version does not up date automatically well. I find myself having. To stop WREG and restart it to get an update.

I love news channel 3. But unfortunately, I hate that I can not watch it LIVE on my firestick like the other Memphis news apps. Why is that? I hope andate is coming soon.

WREG is awesome !! It’s always on time with great news. I love it 🤗

Great up to date news
I love this site

Updated today. Now it crashes every time I open it.
