The editorials are trite and mundane geared to the political leanings of the station. I’ve started watching the other stations for news and weather. ### 2/5 — Links *2025-06-11, version 5.15.1772* Teaser link rarely opens up the page to the article. ### 4/5 — Weather *2025-06-08, version 5.15.1772* The app overall is good. Only one challenge with the app for me, the very bottom of the hourly forecast is cut off on my iOS device. Otherwise I like the layout and content. ### 4/5 — Great but needs an update *2025-04-18, version 5.15.1664* Something is off with the app, load times are long enough to indicate a problem. ### 2/5 — Stupid *2025-03-14, version 5.15.1642* How yall gonna play darn near 5 minutes of ads during a severe weather broadcast. I'm trying to see if my house is gonna catch fire and it goes to a ad break? Brilliant. ### 5/5 — Love channel 5 *2024-11-04, version 5.15.1526* I love all these people. They are wonderful. On top of the weather all the time. Damon, Michael , Sabrina They are absolutely the best. Damon talks to you like your his friend. So caring. I’m so happy they are our weather people. Appreciate you more than you know. Judy Ellis ### 5/5 — Getting the facts *2024-10-02, version 5.15.1498* I love watching and getting notified when something is happening. Otherwise I wouldn’t know half the news. It keeps you updated and I love it. ### 5/5 — App seems to not reset anymore. Thanks for fixing *2024-08-24, version 5.15.1486* Thanks for fixing the app. It’s nice to be able to read articles again without it resetting every time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Liberal news network *2026-07-22, version 5.15.2202* Constant trash pushed out as news. And the weatherman freelancing on Facebook as a plant expert is a bad look ### 1/5 — TOO MANY NOTIFICATIONS *2026-03-16, version 5.15.2086* I only want notifications for weather. I’ve gone through the app settings, turned everything off but weather, and I’m still getting notifications for every story they post. Too many, too annoying ### 1/5 — Worthless app *2026-03-16, version 5.15.2086* Liberal propaganda and they blow up your phone with notifications. The only good thing about it is the weather coverage but you can find that on YouTube with less glitches. ### 1/5 — Loved until the latest update *2026-01-21, version 5.15.1997* I don’t want my data farmed just to check local news and weather. I’ve deleted the app, but I will miss it. Genuinely disappointed with this. I expected more from my now former local news outlet. I love Ch 5, but this definitely turned me off from them. ### 1/5 — Changing home *2025-11-18, version 5.15.1913* Changing home doesn’t stay updated. ### 1/5 — Far-Right Fear Mongers *2025-11-05, version 5.15.1881* Not only do they abuse their push notification privileges by sending constant notifications that are not breaking news, but KOCO uses divisive and fear-mongering sensationalist news titles. Been a KOCO fan for 37 years but it’s clear who they bow to. Gross. ### 1/5 — Bad reporting *2025-08-22, version 5.15.1826* Don’t report on real issues of the state and corruption ### 1/5 — Too many *2025-05-08, version 5.15.1689* I have my notifications down to 4 categories, it’s all the time! I shut it off one other time…I’m about to do it again ### 1/5 — Viewer *2025-03-05, version 5.15.1618* Never updated ### 1/5 — the ads are ridiculous *2024-10-31, version 5.15.1526* love the 5 ads that i can’t skip when i’m trying to see the live weather forecast during a tornado watch 🤩 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love channel 5 *2026-06-23, version 5.15.2202* I love all these people. They are wonderful. On top of the weather all the time. Damon, Michael , everyone. They are absolutely the best. Damon talks to you like your his friend. So caring. I’m so happy they are our weather people. Appreciate you more than you know. Judy Ellis ### 5/5 — I can’t do it anymore and I can’t take iiiiit! 😭 *2026-05-15, version 5.15.2125* I love you KOCO! The people are always helpful ( but it does scare me 😳 sometimes) the People are very nice and I like when they say “ on KOCO… 5 news 📰” Smart slogan guys!!! ### 5/5 — My favorite news channel *2026-04-25, version 5.15.2125* Awesome weather and news information!!! ### 5/5 — Love it so much and so helpful *2026-03-14, version 5.15.2086* Ok so I thought this was a scam but it is real I love it I am in elementary school and this app is so helpful ### 5/5 — Very Informative *2026-01-26, version 5.15.1997* Great to receive such good information when you can’t get out and about. ### 5/5 — my safety. *2026-01-18, version 5.15.1997* I appreciate so much since I am 89 years old and live alone receiving this help from you ### 5/5 — App works, articles are incredibly moronic *2026-01-07, version 5.15.1942* I have no issues with the app, but the blatant ignorant bias spread across the app is a joke. These articles are written by third graders and replace statical facts analysis with mongering fabricated nonsense. It’s become unbearable over the past year. Pros - Weather Cons - Everything else ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-10-11* This is definitely a great news app. Definitely a great news at cause they have so many stuff that they have for me to stay safe or this gives me the weather, but the number one saying I just don’t like the ads you’re so many ads. I literally got nine ads please why are this five stars though it’s cause I definitely like this app and I love it also one more thing I still want this app cause it’s good. Also, I actually wanted to say it actually beats me aware of stuff so that’s nice. Well I love this app. ### 5/5 — Great! *2025-01-15, version 5.15.1549* Best in our city! ### 5/5 — Private exchange investment *2024-12-11, version 5.15.1549* Investments I registered and organized and this is a resource I use in conjunction with my investment --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
