KOCO 5 News - Oklahoma City App Reviews

I really dislike the new version. I used the app all the time before but now I dont really enjoy using it. Hard to find the stories and info you want and doesnt have all of the choices it used to. Looks like channel 4s app. I never liked using that one and now I am stuck using one like it. Though theirs at be a little better.

The only thing I would like to see change is when there is pop up alert about something that is happening that it be on the news page/ app when you get the pop up to see details For example actual location of incident.

I like this a lot. KOCO give me latest news and keep me update on my new state that I will be living after college. I always wanted to live in Oklahoma. Thanks for giving me the news

This used to be my daily "go to" local news source/app..... Well.....Not anymore!;( After their recent update, er, total system overhaul (around 4 months ago or so) this news app went from being cohesive and easy to navigate to whammo!!! Just Plain Ridiculous & Awful!!! Whomever is responsible for the switch should be replaced or forced to revamp this app back to its original format ASAP! Unless of course their sole job was to drive their viewers AWAY from this station..... This app is 1. no longer easy to use with readily available clearly marked flip thru style sections. 2. has numerous bugs and flaws which do not seem to have been addressed yet and 3. the comments section is no longer accessible via app. Do yourself a favor and retain this app for the sole purpose of quickly checking the temperature outdoors... That is the only thing that has not been tampered with due to the "update" Signed a Very disappointed former viewer/user. :(

I dont know, everyone is ragging on this app, but I like it. As others said, I prefer to read the news. If I want video Ill turn on the TV. Still, its my go to for local news. Its better than the other stations.

Do not like the new format. I no longer use this app to get my news and weather because of it. I stopped the alerts because when you would click to see what the alert was about it wasnt uploaded to the site yet.

The new app is terrible. Bring back the old one.

Consistently excellent, dependable weather and news. Simply put, the BEST of all the rest.

I do not like the fact that you cant link to the story when you get a pop up notification. Also, the notifications disappear after Ive read the first line or so. That may have to do with my phone settings but you cant seem to easily find the most recent notifications on the site. Its just not very user friendly.

The previous version of this app was far more user friendly. If I come to a web site for news or weather, I dont want to have to wait for a video to load. The weather maps page doesnt work at all on the iPad, and that is my main reason for coming to this site. Needs more work.

THIS app, like so many other "news" apps like it, has become a POS. Its an Easter egg hunt for the actual story you went there to read or watch, only to be swallowed up by BS and advertisements interspersed throughout. You wanna watch a video of a storm, a breaking story, etc? Youll have to sit through BS ads. EVERY TIME. I understand that if I want to read or watch a feel good story about kittens, some candidates campaign, or who got arrested that I must endure the ad-supported content that makes the miracle of news on my iPhone a reality. HOWEVER it pains me to no end that each and every piece of fluff to breaking severe weather that I have to sift through or wait for ads to get through any details. Suggestion: put your requisite ads up front, limit to one or two, and give the reader the meat of the story. Then dump all the news-entertainment crap under it. Im about to delete this and other local news apps to avoid the ads overkill.

Can I possibly give this app zero stars? Please go back to the old version. I was forced into the version because of a phone upgrade. The only reason I havent deleted it yet is the push notifications. Its not user friendly, cant find stories, no loaded forecast, radar works half the time, and most of all.... Loaded with ads. Did you know... Im less likely to buy or use a service if its popping up in an ad every second. I get annoyed. Especially if I see one more Hudiburg ad.

Still asks for too much permission to install app. Weather is easier to pull up. Frustrating to get news story texts since it pushes the video clips too much. Would be nice to have easier links to webcams.

Anytime I get a notification, and try to read the article-- it says that the app is unavailable and to retry. It never works.

I wish you all would post your story before sending me the alert. Nothing is more annoying than getting an alert that something serious is going on just to find nothing on it for 5-15 more minutes.

Difficult to navigate. I prefer to choose categories so I dont have to wade through topics I dont care about. I hate one line stories. I want to read a whole story or nothing. I often cant listen to a story. I want to read it.

I call this the "detour theres a dead end road ahead" if you are looking for news. Its a no information app for news. Just headlines and the videos that wont load are disgusting. What about the people that have problems hearing? Not good. Suggestion, take out the videos altogether.

I love the KOCO app and its capabilities for keeping the public aware of whats happening, but I have found that recent changes made to the app have made it difficult to navigate, especially when I receive a breaking news update, you cant click on the banner and read it right away. I also prefer to read a complete article on a subject instead of a "one or two" line statement about the topic. The video casts would be better if there were an article available to read instead of being restricted to only a video..its not always feasible to watch/listen to a video. Overall, I rate the app as very useful and could be even better with a few minor tweaks.

I do not like the new site. It is not user friendly and very hard to find anything.

I love KOCO. It gives news reports quicker than any other news app that I have used. As for advertisements, ads are the only way stations can afford to supply their app for free. After reading the most recent reviews. I think Ill hang on to my older version! Thanks for providing your viewers with such good mobile information. Your newscasts are superior.
