Comments on WREG for Android

★★★★★ Aridan Thompson · Oct 14, 2021

I love the fact they always update min by min to keep the City of Memphis alert at all times. When I mention my Channel 3 Notifications alot of times I read them out loud and my co-workers would ask ne "What Area?" THANK YOU FOR giving us the Best News Possible... on Time Live.

★★★★★ Dianne Davis · Nov 7, 2021

Love wreg news, they are always on top of breaking news and especially when there is threatening weather they stay on until the bad weather is gone. Love you guys! Keep up the good work.

★★★★★ Earline Gordon · Jan 11, 2021

I know I can be sure it's accurate and beneficial to us all. Up-to-date news not news that I have already heard. Superior Newscast with news you can use. I love News channel 3.

I downloaded this app to receive wether updates and watch live wether when there's a storm. Why do I have to watch a 30 sec? AD while the tornado sirens are going off.

★☆☆☆☆ Terry Dana Norton · Jul 15, 2020

Terrible app. You get a notification of a news story but when you click it it takes you to main page, and you have to hunt for the story. Takes too long to load also. Very sluggish

★☆☆☆☆ kynanhudson1 · Nov 4, 2025

I no longer can use the app when a story is sent to me, and I select the story I receive a message over the app that says it's a newer version available it won't let me swipe it away it only has the word update when I select update it takes me to the Google Play Store then I noticed that everything is already updated and that enable auto update is already selected it only has opened as an option if I select open it takes me back to the original screen to update I cannot use the app /read anything
