Ratings and reviews

I get a notification and when I click to open it it redirects me to allow notifications. Like what the heck is this craziness? Before this everything was fine, and when you try to watch a video you either get five videos that doesn't have anything to do with the topic or you get a little off the video before it cuts out to the next video in cue. Live 5 app sucks. I wish I could give it a third of a start but that's not an option.

I try to watch a video and I can't watch it unless some of it is cut off.. No matter how I turn my phone the video is cut off. You can't enlarge the video. Honestly I wouldn't bother with this app. I'm never able to read half the articles they notify me about because once I click the notification it doesn't take me to the story, just the home page. There's no search bar so you have to scroll if you want to try and find that story. Just all in all don't waste the phone storage.

You have to be VERY careful when clicking on a notification to read and article, otherwise EVERY other notification will disappear. It's probably 30/70 that I just open the article that I want without erasing the other notifications. 70% being when I lose all the other notifications. I'm so frustrated that I'm seriously consider deleting Live 5 and downloading another local news app. Despite Live 5 being a holdover from my non-streaming days.
