KING 5 Reviews

Advertisements are bad now

Qwerty12345

All of the sudden nearly every time I try and open an article, advertisements pop up and you can’t get around them. Rediculous. I understand the need for them but come on, not every time. Deleting the ap now.

Decent app but ridiculous “alerts”

GriffinDog

Do yourselves a favor — if you install this app, turn off lock screen notifications from KING 5. It is so ridiculous what they consider breaking news, worthy enough to alert you. Example: five things you should know today — every friggin’ day!!! And then you need to click into the app to get the info. Alerts should give you high level information, not try to serve as clickbait. And then today, trying to get you to click to find out how old Shaun White is. Seriously?!?!? This isn’t news!!! Turning off my KING 5 alerts and will likely never have a reason to open the app. Time to focus on KOMO and KIRO.

Wayyyy too many notifications.

New useless notification every 5 minutes.

Don’t download

This app is full of adds that make the news unreadable. There are now adds that pop up while you are reading (not just when you open the app). The app tries to do too much and it runs poorly because of it. Would give 0/5 if possible

What I like is the wide range of topics

Whois who

What I love is the news on the go. Plus I can find sports scores. What I want is more up to date things like breaking news stories

Plays sound unexpectedly on advertisements

I’m sitting here clicking on news stories here while my wife sleeps, and this thing plays an advertising video. I’ve got the sound off and it still plays full blast. Average quality news app plays sounds on ads full blast while sound is off => 1 star review

Much Improved!

Thank you King 5 for adding iPhone X support. Looks so much better than before. We can expand videos edge to edge by finger spreading which is just fine. Suggestion: Although the upper frame is translucent (nice touch) I think you reduce the size of it a bit (maybe 3 mm or so) so that the main scrolling window is maximized. Other than that, thank you again!
