Leave a Review KOCO 5 News
Last Place OKC news app
I haven’t been watching channel 5 since I was a child. I’m getting ready to turn 64 yo.
I’ve always liked the way they cover and report local news better than the other 3 stations. The one thing about the app that I can’t stand is if you don’t open the app every day they quit sending the news to you. I don’t click on every app every day. This is a practice they need to quit doing. Keep sending me the news even if I don’t visit the app daily.Show lessHappy Dork
Some stories are years old.
As someone who really loves this station, I am constantly disappointed in this app. Stories are written sloppily with no apparent effort to proof read before posting. There are misspelled words and in some cases missing words as well as other grammatical errors. There are also very old stories still showing up on the app that have been there for YEARS. It seems like we should have enough news these days to resupply the app.
I understand that everyone is human and makes errors but when your business in communication, I expect a higher level of professionalism. There really is no excuse these days with apps like Grammerly, etc.
Also, it’s very frustrating when I see breaking news on TV and then attempt to find the story on the app and there is nothing there.
This app could be so much better than it is.Show lessProf McCue
At least I’m not the only one.
I noticed someone else had the same problem I have. I will click on a story to read it. When I want to go back to the home page it starts you all the way back to the beginning of the articles.
Also some stories have been there for what seems like an eternity with no updates or other information. I think I was generous with 3 stars.Show lessyou dont want neg response
Has a few hiccups.. but works pretty well overall
I get frustrated when the app jumps back and forth and plays almost fast forward. This is the main source of news and weather for me and my family as we travel and plan work. For the most part it works pretty well, aside from some of the before mentioned hiccups.genaingr123
Not what it once was
This app use to be great for weather. I love and watch KOCO all the time, but I can’t get this app to warn me about weather anymore. It’s all news now. I did delete and reinstall it trying to get the weather part to work but it doesn’t. I’m at a loss here. I was mostly wanting it for bad weather and storms. None of it seems to work. They use to have a pp that was directed at severe weather and it was also great. I think I read where the App Store told them they didn’t need two apps. At least back then they both worked. Sorry to say I will delete soon and be looking elsewhere for bad weather alerts.Show lessRC 2
The team at 5 are#1 at keeping me updated so I can concentrate on what I have to accomplish
While it could certainly use quicker refreshening at times on a lot of the “fluff” pieces, those aren’t what I rely on this app for. It’s my daily “go to” app for things I truly need to know. Often, multiple times a day.Chasity_bubbles

I like that this news app has stories and details not available on other news apps and they seem pretty well rounded with what they report. The app itself tho is sometimes frustrating. It updates too frequently sending you back to the top of the stories even when there isn’t anything new added. And i do feel like I have hunt down ‘new’ news between the stagnant ads listed in a news type area. And some of the stories are months-old.Show lessRhouck103
Ups and downs.
Thumbs up: best and easiest to navigate information on COVID - 19. Articles well written. Best weather availability It’s right up front. Plus the weather app is great. Scrolling breaking news at the top is useful.
Thumbs down: ads. I’m really tired of having to navigate below the Gastro Lounge and Modified margarita ads to get to the stories. I realize you need ads but placement and choices aren’t well done. Old news intermixed with newer news.Show lessCloweyG
Constantly ruin recorded game scores by excessive updates
Unfortunately I know it’s the race to release info first that drives your station, but I will be deleting the KOCO app. This is the 2nd time that you have ruined a recording of a sporting event that I was behind on due to putting my child to bed because you felt it necessary to release the score of the game as “Breaking News”. The NCAA national championship and the NFL super bowl. There needs to be a way to turn off sporting news announcement or something. I would consider breaking news to be something other than scores of a game.Show lessChelvey405
Sound not Sensational or Salacious
This app gives you important information and it identifies opinion as opinion. They choose not to show some shocking photos or videos which would add no news value.Magroot
