I would not watch any other station!! ### 2/5 — Outdated News *2021-09-11, version 6.40* This app is consistently behind in releasing news. Each time I open the app the same news from a day or two days ago is still there & that days news is nonexistent. Rarely current. Although I do love the channel 5 TV news this app has faltered. If it continues to lag behind I plan to ditch the app for one of the other local news stations. Prove me wrong ### 1/5 — Very Biased *2021-08-13, version 6.39* News 5 is very biased and doesn’t provide the truth. They also can not spell anything right. ### 5/5 — Great App!!! *2021-07-16, version 6.39* Channel 5 News is the only news I watch and when I can’t be in front of the TV this app keeps me informed!! Love it! ### 5/5 — Great *2021-06-21, version 6.39* I love my app because I rarely have time to sit down and watch the news. This app keeps me informed and the weather section is always dependable. Thanks ### 5/5 — 5 X 5 *2021-05-29, version 6.36* Still the most consistently accurate, balanced and professional news with true investigative reporting. Excellent site. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Sound!!! *2021-03-05, version 6.35* There’s a bug in the app that when you try messing with the audio it gets muted. So no matter what one does it automatically mutes the app’s audio. Please resolve this issue. Love this app and local station. It’s my go to!!! Thanks ### 4/5 — Good app. Relabel *2021-01-02, version 6.33* Works great. No bugs ### 5/5 — Came to see Nikki Dee Ray *2020-11-15, version 6.33* Live in Virginia and y’all don’t have a weather app so I downloaded this and watch for Nikki Dee.. Am enjoying all of your news and weather personalities .. Great pick .. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Your radar isn’t working on the app *2026-06-27, version 7.15* Your radar isn’t showing anything on the app. ### 1/5 — Weather radar not updating *2026-06-22, version 7.15* Within the past week my weather radar has stopped working. It will not update to show current radar. Very frustrating especially during severe weather ### 1/5 — Top local covers *2026-06-14, version 7.15* Great photojournalists and news team. My go to for Nashville and the surrounding area ### 1/5 — The app is useless *2026-04-16, version 7.14* Since the last update it crashes upon opening. Totally unusable it’s been like this for weeks ### 1/5 — Broken app. *2025-07-09, version 7.10.1* Sorry guys but I’m deleting the app. Every time you start to read a story and get halfway through it. It goes crazy and loses the story you’re reading. It’s useless. ### 1/5 — Not current *2025-06-22, version 7.10.1* They don’t keep the stories current. We bombed Iran over 12 hours ago, and it’s not even mentioned yet. This is constant and has been for at least a year. New stories every few days, but only a few. They let old things stay on there (even out of date weather). ### 1/5 — False claims *2022-01-15, version 6.43* 1 star because they said it was supposed to snow and I was going to a concert for my birthday and I didn’t get the tickets because they said it was supposed to snow and now I’m not doing anything for my birthday and my whole birthday is ruined ### 1/5 — App Crashes *2021-11-16, version 6.41* The app freezes up after closing each story. I have to reopen the app each time I want to read the next article. This has been ongoing for some time. I’ve been waiting for an update to correct the issue; however, it’s still ongoing. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2021-10-08, version 6.40* This app looks like it’s first version. Nothing exciting about the news. Looks very plain. It has only basic headlines. I’m sure Facebook news is much more informative. Get a new app designer. ### 1/5 — Great for weather, bad for news *2021-08-26, version 6.39* Weather is very accurate but news stories are often click bait with little to back up headlines ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 5 X 5 *2023-11-22, version 7.2* I created a new free account with the news channel 5 news app, and now the app continues to crash when I try to open on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. Will try reinstalling. Never had this particular problem with other apps, yet. Thanks. (Edit : reinstall worked. Thanks.) ### 5/5 — Great! *2023-08-28, version 6.44* So glad you are extending the 9 o’clock broadcast! Love all you do and all the people that are on! ### 5/5 — Family *2023-02-20, version 6.44* Channel 5 has been the choice of my family to watch since I was a little girl. I’m 63 now and Channel 5 is still my choice. It’s like family. Good people reporting the news, whether it’s good or bad. It’s my choice to receive the news of the day, local, international. Sports, politics and entertainment. Don’t forget the weather. Their coverage is superb. Informational consumer topics. Local news covering the Channel 5 viewing area and surrounding counties. News Channel 5 is my choice and I’m sticking with it. ### 5/5 — Reliable local & national news *2022-12-08, version 6.44* My go-to source for local and unbiased news. Love the investigations of issues on both wings of the political spectrum. Easy to navigate, especially the other local news stations! ### 5/5 — LOVE IT!!! *2022-09-28, version 6.44* The only thing to improve is keeping it updated & I wish you could zoom in, Other than that I love it!!! I check it daily and even receive notifications as well. That’s how I stay updated since I don’t always have time to actually watch the news… ### 5/5 — Channel 5 *2022-04-24, version 6.44* Nashville’s best! I always know the news will be true and accurate, and delivered in a professional respectful way. Channel 5 keeps me informed on local and National news. ### 5/5 — Best Source for Local News in Nashville *2022-01-28, version 6.43* —hands down, end of story. ❤️ ### 5/5 — A Kentucky girl *2022-01-22, version 6.43* This Kentucky girl loves channel 5..it’s where I go for news and weather.. I never miss them unless I a good reason. I use this app for the headlines and stories when I miss the real thing and I can stream it all when I get back home..but the app lets me know what is going on until I can watch it at home..there’s not a weather person on any of the other channels like Bree Smith..she takes the time to explain what is going on and what we can expect from it..I love this app to keep me updated on what is going on.. ### 5/5 — Great Station *2022-01-06, version 6.43* I've relied on News Channel 5 all my life. I'm 47 & I grew up watching Chris Clark as a kid with my family. I live across the line in Ky but have always relied on channel 5 for the most accurate & up to date weather & news. You guys do such a great job! I would just like to ask if you could please fix the interactive radar to be more user friendly. That's all! Thanks for all the hard work! ### 5/5 — Quick information *2021-12-30, version 6.43* I like this app ability to keep me informed when I don’t have time to catch the local news it also allows me to go to their investigation section and find out about people who Phil Williams or one of the many reporters have uncovered some of our politicians or just everyday people who violate our laws, and most stories have led to criminal prosecution. On this app you get more information then the actual newscast with links to document that their newscasts just doesn’t have time to show also we now have winter tornados becoming common more than snow and their weather app is a must have I’ve installed this app on my iPad, desktop and cellphone I’m a native of Nashville so if I’m not able to tune into the live newscast this app is most effective. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
