Comments on WCYB News 5 for Android

★★★★★ Londa · Jun 26, 2024

The weather and news updates are important but especially like knowing when there may be severe weather.

★★★★★ Shannon Peters · Apr 24, 2024

Great for local News and national News. My hometown news station. God bless all them.

★★★★★ Amanda Graybeal · Jul 31, 2025

My local, trusted source for news for more than 35 years now thank you wcyb team for always being reliable!

★★★★★ Jeff K. Lane · Apr 24, 2020

Tired of depressing news devote more time to good news.severe weather alerts aren't coming through, and I have them enabled overall a great app

★★★★☆ Cheryl Leonard · Apr 27, 2020

Very well sometimes won't lt won't let me watch a live video but very, very nice app

★☆☆☆☆ Robert Bradley · Aug 5, 2025

App sucks, mostly because WCYB lacks the skill to support a steaming service. It says Live when nothing is being broadcast, for instance. Forced to use WJHL because WCYB, which I prefer, sucks so bad at this and is not available when I want to watch the news.

★★☆☆☆ Kim Smith · Dec 30, 2022

I really like this app, but I would like a way to make the push notifications silent. I don't want my phone making noise every time there's a notification. My other news stations allow silent push notifications so that I can see the icon & preview the message, but I don't have my phone making sounds. If it's not fixed I may have to uninstall.

★☆☆☆☆ Heath Mullins · Feb 28, 2020

Update sucks new format is not good keeps crashing and X-rated pop-ups uninstalling before my 10-year-old who enjoys reading the news has a big eBay dildo pop-up
