New 5
I know a lot of people come down hard on you but reporting the news how it is, is very important and I thank each of you for your hard work
NeeNah4967,
Pleased with WKRG tv 5
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!

I'm not a Liar. I am a Truther,
Too many ads
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!

beethovenswig,
A few suggestions
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. This app can be aggravating/glitchy at times as well.

Losing confidence
I have been a WKRG watcher for years and now rely on the app 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.☹️

Programming issues
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

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

Elmokmb,
Ads launch automatically- please fix
Ever since the last update, the embedded ads that should require a click have been launching automatically. I’m constantly having to close an unwanted browser window to return to the app just to read an article.
SelrahcC,
Would like to give 5 stars...
App will freeze requiring a shutdown and restart. There doesn’t seem to be a place to leave feedback in the app so hopefully they will see this.
mobileborn,
Too many ads!!!
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 the app anymore...iOS user
