  • Misspelling

    Someone needs to check the spelling on some of the articles, the article about the woman killed in the 17-A crash states with no mention of a vehicle that (it struck a semi) so the statement refers to the woman as a it. Not good.
  • Too many notifications

    This app would be great however Live 5 pushes way too many notifications. I like to stay up on local news but their pushes are too excessive. Had to delete
  • Love having the news at ease…

    I do not care for the amount of interruptions I get from the ads you sell to get revenue. More often I see ad space sold to whichever advertisers give the most. Seems like after reading a news article from a local perspective, you should not be bombarded with ads that have nothing to do with the article itself. If you were to target an audience that “would” click on an ad after reading an article, you would do better than “Click now! See how this person was zit free in a day!”. I also understand that you get clicks on these ad spaces by accident which would still net some monetary value. Clean it up is all I ask. Streamline the experience like others have. Please. I still do appreciate the reporting done. I still try to get through the ads you have to read the news. I still have the app. Just asking for a more refined ad space. Not open it up to just press an X button!? Makes no sense.

  • Great for the latest shooting..

    After a few weeks…the only alerts I see and get are the latest crime stories, accidents, shootings. There are so many interesting and wonderful things happening in the Lowcountry but they seem to only want to report on negativity. Ugh. Deleting this app.
  • 👎🏻

    It says when “live” news is not available that most recent newscast will be shown. No, it shows news from other areas not even in SC. Then went to watch a replay of “most recent newscast” and the most recent program was from the previous day.
  • Yet again a broken update!

    Yet again your coding team has broken the app on iOS 15 with most recent update.

    Also please get rid of paid sponsor billboard when the app starts, it’s not needed. You’re a news app not a race car. Keep the small adds if you must.

    Just fix the app and keep it simple.
  • Good news reporting. Really terrible app (seriously, it’s really really bad)

    I’ve always liked live 5 for local news. However, content aside, each iteration of the app over the last few years has gotten progressively worse. This most recent one is no exception. A truly terrible app. The crown jewel of over engineering a fix for something that was not broken. If I didn’t have higher expectations it would be comical how bad this app is. Not user friendly. Layout/interfacing is cumbersome and needlessly complicated. Worst of all clickbait/fake news headlines are visually identical to real news headlines.
    If you want to get good reporting from a terrible app, this ones for you.

  • Absolutely the most biased news organization in the southeast.

    This “news” company praises criminals and puts done do gooders. They are anti everything that’s good, right and decent. The are pro left wing radicals. AND, their grammar and spelling are horrible! Stay away from these biased bottom feeders.
  • This app is 90% adds now

    Very frustrating trying to find the news within ALL THE ADS. Liked the old version better too, it was much easier to find what you were looking for without added steps and additional ads. No thanks, I can find the Chs news elsewhere.
  • Paid content garbage

    This used to be the best local news team and was a decent app with tolerable paid non-news content. This new app has no more than a couple of actual news stories in it. Time to change to one of the other local stations for my news.
