FOX5 Vegas - Las Vegas News

Love the app. Fox 5 does a great job of keeping the new current in one place. Other news outlets (TV and print) rely on social media for the latest updates, making it necessary to check several places to get current news. Plus the ability to stream from the app is convenient and easy.

It’s easily the best local news app. Lots of content expanding many subjects in an easy and simple menu. Breaking news comes fast and it comes heavily. If you’re not a fan of your phone going off constantly. This ain’t your app. Biggest issue with the app is the fact that on almost all breaking news alerts you swipe to read. It has a half sentence and then tells you to watch the live stream. People own this app to read articles, not watch the news. It makes the news station feel less authentic and more trendy for a millennial crowd that refuses to read. It’s something they should seriously work on.

What is wrong with you people you Lay off the people we enjoy like Heidi and mike Doria and hire all these new young people who have no relationship to the news Christ you even lost Melanie. What the heck are you guys thinking? Most people want anchors they can relate to not 29 year olds that are barely out of school. At least you didn’t fire Jason and the rest of the long timers. What does it take to make you see most people watching tv are my age at least in their 50’s and they like longevity young people don’t even watch news. Christ I’m not even going to watch channel 5 since you guys keep laying off all the good anchors. Get your heads out of your xxxx. Get a clue people like familiarity and closeness Family with their news people. I can’t even keep up with all these new idiots you’ve hired to bring news. Get s clue.

I can go on the internet and get accurate up to date weather and watch content other than “live news”. The live streaming was the reason I was interested in this app. I have had this app here in Las Vegas for over a year. Streaming the news over ATT LTE, or 3G is NEVER possible. The stalling and buffering makes it impossible to watch. WIFi is the exact same experience. I have very fast internet and steam content all the time but this app is crap when it comes to streaming live. Please fix this app or stop misleading the public into thinking live streaming is possible with this app.

App is fine but don’t agree to “breaking news alerts. I got 20 yesterday and 5 already today and it’s not even 9am! Most are just ads to watch their broadcast. Woke me up at 6 am both days. First day was to tell me they’d show me one of the parade floats and today was to tell me they’d show me the beer pong tournament! App says it will let you customize alerts you want to see but when you try to do that it only shows two choices; breaking news, and weather. Beer pong is not breaking news!
