WKRG News 5 - Mobile, AL News Reviews

by Foley Nurse Who Sails

WKRGNews5 is junk. They play ad before you can read or play a news video. You are forced to watch the video game ad. The ad is too loud and appears to others you are on your phone playing video games. I would recommend another Fox 10 news app or even NBC 15 app to get your news and weather. I’m not sure why you are forced to watch a loud video game ad

News 5 loves their sponsors too much. As soon as you launch an ad appears. They over-cover some topics such as the ‘controversial’ Waffle House arrest and try to create a rift between law enforcement and the public. They are quick to antagonize the police as if they are trying to create a Baltimore situation. As far as politics go, they are far too quick to slam republicans but back liberals when they want to increase taxes and lower the standard of living. When Moore was running and the allegations can out for him, they insisted on showing ‘her truth’. Truth does not take sides and there is no such thing as my truth or your truth. They failed to show that these women came out publicly, some before some after the election, saying their accusations were false.

This station might as well promote fake news. People are better off relying on their neighbors or their hairdresser for news. The only great thing about this news channel is the weather.

Adam and John are the real MVPs!

I am so sick and tired of watching Florida’s news ! There is enough of mobile news to cover,just because you now have the Pensacola airport as a sponsor doesn’t mean any of us care a fig about them and their issues.i don’t care and will change my viewing habits sorry John nodal,

Constant ads and page reload. Try to stream video and page will reload multiple times with ad repeating every time. Try to read articles and page continues to reload with pop up ads. I choose wkrg as my news source at home but just can’t handle the ads on WKRGNews5 anymore...iOS user

by Beethovenswig

Could you PLEASE somehow not have ads before your weather reports and for your live updates during severe weather? It’s so aggravating to try to get important (and sometimes life saving) information through a live feed but miss it because of ads. Also, my app is now auto-playing vids, which wouldn’t be so bad if the ads didn’t play full blast even when the phone volume is turned off. WKRGNews5 can be aggravating/glitchy at times as well.

I have been a WKRG watcher for years and now rely on WKRGNews5 for my news while traveling and have been very disappointed in the turn it has taken. Incomplete stories, very limited news, misspelled words and in the last few months all kinds of computer jargon in the middle of the articles. I start with WKRG but finish my news with Fox 10 because the stories are better written, more news and variety, and I am better informed through their news app.☹️

While the weather and news content is very good the while scrolling through the first five or six news stories WKRGNews5 freezes constantly forcing me to close and then reopen. This is not an occasional thing, it happens every time I open WKRGNews5 .
WKRG, please fix this annoying issue

I’m from Iowa and just moved to Floridarecently. I always seem to wake up just in time to see the CBS Morning news with Ann Marie Green, at least I get to see her last segment as she says “ That’s the CBS Morning News, I’m Ann Marie Green, have a great day.”
But now that I live down here in Florida I don’t get to see her final segment before she signs off and don’t understand why.

I just eantedtomakeyouaware of this conflict and hope you can address this and not interrupt the CBSMorning News because it’s important to me to see CBS have the chance to sign off from their newscast and not be interrupted by WKRG morning News.
Thank you for letting me explain my concerns.
Sincerely, kJKonkol

This station app usually just gives the news and doesn’t give too much of a political slant. However sometimes WKRGNews5 freezes or just has a blank white screen.

I am a Mobile native, living in Moss Point, MS and grew up in Mobile during the time when we only had three channels and our floor model TV stayed on 5! I am so happy that 5 reports news in this Mississippi area. As I watch the news I am up on things in my home town and I feel so included when the weather map shows Pascagoula, because that is the town that is next to Moss Point. I feel so connected to Mobile via channel 5.
I love ALL of you for the professional way you bring the news, breaking news, push notifications weather and sports! Missing Mel tho 😢 and I didn’t know I was going to cry 😥 on his last day!, but I did❗️his sister Roselyn and I were classmates! Continue keeping Mobile, Pensacola, Baldwin County,
Moss Point, Pascagoula and surrounding cities informed of what’s HAPPENING locally and everywhere else!

App will freeze requiring a shutdown and restart. There doesn’t seem to be a place to leave feedback in WKRGNews5 so hopefully they will see this.

Have paid several months in the past and NEVER... have been able to view live news for the whole months twice.
Will Not subscribe anymore.

The changes made on the weather app. Make it harder to follow and notifications are not reliable I am now using another app.
Thanks

The best news station, WKRGNews5 is still a bit lacking. Click on a notification and story not found way too often.

I love WKRG but sometimes when I get an alert about a new story, it’s not there. I tried finding the story about the brawl from the spring breakers after an alert, but it was not there.

by DonaldRayC

Very informative and helpful source for the latest news and weather for the Mobile / Pensacola and gulf coast region

by Dulcimerbreezes

I love WKRG news, Facebook, and WKRGNews5. Everything I need to know is right here; the latest stories, traffic updates, weather and news alerts.

by NEA#3

Love current news on everything. Enjoy it at work, where we can’t use the internet

by Pensacola Shopper

I got WKRGNews5 today and have already deleted it. I updated my settings so I only get weather alerts. However, I keep getting Top Stories and Breaking News alerts.

Plus good news coverage and the best Weatherman in the country!

I am all the way in Houston Tx. And it makes me feel soooooo good that I can check on my Family and Friends in mobile.

by LittleMsAnn

Always on top of what is going on in the area.
My favorite source for accurate, up to date, non-biased news in the NW Florida and South Alabama area.
