KOCO 5 News - Oklahoma City for Negative User Reviews
✓ TerribleAfter a year with the app, I’ve deleted it., The so-called “news alerts”, for the most part, are not “ALERTS”. They are just another run of the mill story...many of which don’t even pertain to my viewing area. When a pop up banner appears and is then selected to view, one must scroll thru all of the posted stories instead of the app taking you to the post that was the story in the banner. Very frustrating and not worth the trouble anymore..Version: 5.13.200
✓ So frustrating!When I am actually interested in one of the five million notifications I get each day, I’d really like to be taken STRAIGHT to that story when I tap on the notification. As it is, I have to scroll thru a million other stories to try and find it. And 4 times out of 5 I give up before I do..Version: 5.13.223
✓ Stop Spamming COVID NumbersThe app is fine. It’s a typical clunky local news app. The stories, whether from AP or KOCO are poorly researched and full of falsehoods and half-truths, as anyone would expect. KOCO, stop sending notifications about COVID case counts, or your app will be deleted from my phone. Doing this every day is ridiculous, annoying spam. Once a WEEK would be excessive. NO ONE CARES. Anyone who does care can open the app and find it for themselves. This is not information that’s relevant or interesting to normal people..Version: 5.15.487
✓ WxAgree with diggidyjuice!!! Super duper current weather, updates leave something to be desired. Additionally, it would be great if you could design and provide a really great Wx app! Your competition have had theirs on for a long time. Not pick them and come up with your own app that would blow them out of the water!!.Version: 5.15.55
✓ LOVE KOCO hate this app!!!You can’t rotate a video with out starting from the beginning. Seems like some stories stay in the feed all of the time. IE “Super Moon Photos, and Tornado Damage” Also, when I receive a push notification about a story I want to see immediately when I click the notification, it doesn’t direct me to that specific headline within the app, it just opens the app. Would love to see these items fixed..Version: 5.13.270
✓ Struggling to get past the adsThis station plays ads every instance you turn it on. Before you can hear news/weather, you must get through 5-10 ads before you hear anything. In a storm I would rather not here about Home wifi, brooks clinic or roofing commercials. If they would allow you to hear the ads once, then it wouldn’t be as bad. If you accidentally swipe off the app, you have to start all over from the beginning. Not worth my time- I will look elsewhere! Two years of waiting for the kinks to “work themselves out” is too much for me..Version: 5.15.785
✓ 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..Version: 5.13.934
✓ Previous newscasts not workingWanted to watch a newscast from last night and was told to download the app for previous news casts. The app looks just like the website and only offers the most recent newscast. Was told you can just scroll back but there is no option. I looked to make sure my app was up to date and it appeared to be. Deleted the app. No reason to take up space on my phone if it’s nothing more than a link to their website..Version: 5.13.513
✓ 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..Version: 5.13.926
✓ Typically Biased MediaThe app is fine, I guess I can't expect the highest quality from a local news station in a small state. I am sick of seeing click bait stories which intend not to inform me of the goings-on in Oklahoma but waste my time. In addition to my disapproval of the app's quality, I am disappointed by the biased reporting of KOCO itself. Their bias is quite clear to anyone who thinks freely instead of believing everything the media report. On several occasions, especially for articles regarding the police and politics (in other words, nearly every single article), I read the KOCO article, suspected the reporter to have only presented one side of the argument, did my own research on the subject, and found that, indeed, the article was heavily biased and fraught with deceit and half-truths. I feel robbed to know that I, a graduate student in the liberal arts, can do better research than several so-called reporters at KOCO. I suppose this is to be expected now. I gave the app 3 stars because, at the very least, I appreciate that it keeps me informed of breaking news, albeit with an obvious slant..Version: 5.13.996
✓ It’s good for everything but....The problem I have with that is that I will get a breaking news alert on my phone but when I go to the app, the story is not there. It sometimes takes 30 minutes to an hour to be able to read the breaking news..Version: 5.13.26
✓ Biased News ReportsAppreciate the weather portion of the app as it provides timely accurate information. Can’t say the same about the news portion as it is largely slanted and biased in its reporting. They could do better by just reporting the news and not constantly trying to stir up controversy over situations where there is nothing there. Seems like they are more interested in reporting things for entertainment or shock value in order to get your attention rather than honestly reporting unbiased news. There are people who want to hear the news and not listen to the biased slant..Version: 5.15.474
✓ Alerts!We get alerts for stories that are not really breaking news but old(ish) news. And often, when we click on the breaking news alerts, it doesn’t take us to a story or it takes us to an old version of the story (not the breaking news part)..Version: 5.13.996
✓ Enticement clips?KOCO is my favorite news station, but the phone app is not nearly as good. I've have quit looking at the videos because often they are so short that they are not actually informative, some don't seem to have a reason at all. It also aggravates me to see so many typos. I understand that much of it is done on the fly, but a quick spell check would catch many errors..Version: 5.13.140
✓ Frustrating news siteAfter reading stories, it returns to the home page. Stories are kept on the site for way too long. Some have been listed for months and are very outdated. Not enough local news & too many insignificant stories are listed simply because there is video. The app logo shows a new story, but you have to scroll way down to find it. Several news-junkie friends have already dropped the KOCO app and I’m about too because there have been no changes, even though these same complaints have been made many times before. If you don’t care about your news site, why should we?.Version: 5.13.521
✓ Weather and newsTornado season is coming up and as last year I can’t get channel 5 weather on tv anymore and that is the station I prefer for accurate weather. Up until last year I could get it on antenna. What has happened. I have found out others south of noble can’t get it either. My sister in Seminole stopped getting it also. Has the signal been reduced or what..Version: 5.13.722
✓ Last Place OKC news appI 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..Version: 5.13.934
✓ Not what it once wasThis 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..Version: 5.13.868
✓ DNDI only like ABC stations but the info is too repetitive. Half the time trying to find info that was shown on the local station can’t be found in the app. Most of the time an important story is only on the app for a couple of hours but then is gone while other meaningless stuff stays on the app for days. And there is more national stuff there than local stuff. Also when severe weather is happening and I have to turn to the app to see what’s going on I have to watch a bunch of adds before I can actually see the weather. This isn’t a good thing that adds are more important than tornadoes or snow storms..Version: 5.15.244
✓ Mrs SmithI 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..Version: 5.13.868
✓ Has a few hiccups.. but works pretty well overallI 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..Version: 5.13.868
✓ App not updated oftenCome guys, don’t launch an app and think your work is done. Keep it fresh and different. I don’t think this app has changed in the last year. I also don’t like having to click 3X just to get to the radar. Put a link for the radar right on the first page so you don’t have to drill down. I live in OKC but use an app from a station in Tulsa just for radar. A comments section for each story would be good too. I understand comment moderation is difficult, get over it. It would differentiate you from the rest..Version: 5.13.614
✓ This app has turned into ad filled garbage.It has been going down hill for a bit but you can even see the weather forecast anymore. They took out the 7 day forecast and weather information to make you watch a 30 second ad to watch a 10 second clip from the news broadcast. That combined with cramming ads in every possible space on every page is just too much. I’ll get my news elsewhere..Version: 5.12.101
✓ Constantly ruin recorded game scores by excessive updatesUnfortunately 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..Version: 5.13.779
✓ Spam videosSome early 2000s tech. Even if my phone is on silent you can’t open up an article with without the obnoxious sound of a video or ad start blaring through my phone. This has been a disruption in so many settings. From me trying to read an article or accidentally opening the app. Like those loud spam pop up boxes that would explode out of nowhere on ancient windows. Suggestion: update so the video doesn’t automatically start playing. I’M LITERATE, and don’t need a video to scream the news for me. Or have it like social media where it plays silently and you have the option to unmute. Side note: while the news provides a variety of sources (much appreciated) the local station messes up their headlines half the time. Be weary of the words selected for the headline and punctuation..Version: 5.13.996
