Annoying adds

Always have to watch a very long add before viewing videos. Scott Haney is so annoying. He makes my head hurt with his stupid banter.
WAY too many useless push notifications

The app is okay. It’s a little clunky, but I really only care about “latest news”, and that’s easy to navigate to and use. WFSB has great CT news coverage. My huge negative for the app is that it sends what seems like 700 notifications per day and all hours of the night. I know you can turn them off, but it’s a news app - I do want to see a push notification if there’s a breaking news story, or an accident on a major roadway, etc. They do send those types of notifications, but the problem is they also send crap like “Will you need an umbrella tomorrow? Watch the report later!”. Do they really think anyone wants to see that type of push notification? They literally send garbage like that all through the day and night. They also seem to push every news story, including routine articles. I have some national news apps, and they only push something if it’s a huge story. I get maybe one alert every 3 or 4 days from those apps, and it’s for legitimate need-to-know news. The only problem is they are national and of course aren’t going to tell me if there was just a major accident on 95 that has a road closed. WFSB will, but to be honest, you’ll probably miss it because it will be between a “watch live at 6 to see if fluffy got adopted” and “Find our what one Connecticut resident thinks about the changing leaves. Open the app to learn more”.

App Crashes

Just updated the app this morning (10/24) and it crashes when trying to open it.
Un-pauseable , un-mutable video.

I had to delete the app. Every time I would go to the technical weather discussion a video ad would play. Did not matter if I was muted, or on cellular data. I have the app setting set to disabled auto play but they still won’t let you pause or mute.
Issues

When I find local (Avon) news, am unable to read unless I subscribe... not gonna happen....
No sound

Overall good place to get local news but I stopped being able to hear the Watch Live feature. I can watch weather and get sound and go through News stories with the individual videos playing sound, but the “Watch Live” section hasn’t played with sound for weeks on my iPad. App is fully updated, ios is updated and sound plays in every other game and app.
Best radar and best up to minute updates!

Channel 3 app is my “go to” for weather and I love “Future cast” so I can plan my day, especially when storms are predicted.
I’ve been watching WFSB since adrianne baughns

I’m only 51 but I was brought up on WFSB channel 3. I’ve watched thru Hilton (when he almost blew off Mt Washington) and Gayle and the Oprah/Stedman interview. Dennis and Denise, all these yrs (I love to look at 20 yrs ago clips). And..... since I was an adult.... Scot Haney. Lol. I remember saying to my husband that if I wasn’t married, I’d date that Scot Haney. Then everyone told me he was gay.... and oh well... I still loved him all these yrs. (just not in the dating way! Lol) I’ve watched thru 9/11 (when Bruce lost a family member) not to mention challenger disaster and storm Larry and October tornado in Windsor locks. And thru first female governor, not to mention realizing in that time what “cancer” meant. As time has changed and so many people are just watching smart tv, Netflix, and streaming. I cannot give up local tv because I cannot give up WFSB 3. Thanks for the years and memories
