Cast button exists, but does nothing.

If I cast to my Chromecast from the app, the only thing it does is put the cast icon on my television. Nothing actually casts. If I click “On Air” to watch the news live, it will only play on my phone.

2020-05-17

Use to love the app

Never had any issues before the revamp. Was one of my fav news/weather apps. Now, when I click on any link it does not load. Very frustrating. Will keep the app for a little while longer, in hopes that the bugs get worked out.

2020-05-05

Freezes, to many ads

Slow, cant scroll, freezes up. Go back to the old app.

2020-04-30

Previous version was better....

The previous version of this app was better. Not great but better. This newest version is awful. Slow, confusing and doesn’t work correctly. Love Ch 3 but not their app.

2020-04-30

Works well but cannot use in landscape view

I prefer to use my iPad, especially when reading news, in landscape mode.

Unfortunately, this app only works in portrait view. Hopefully landscape will be added in an upcoming release🤞

2020-04-27

Badge icon doesn’t work

Getting push notifications but nothing on badge icon. Checked settings and badge icon is enabled. iPhone X, latest updates.

2020-04-26

Screen doesnt rotate

Screen no longer rotates

2020-04-21

Update is horrible

Trying to navigate the update is difficult at best. Click on a story and it sticks so if you want to read the story and finish it, scrolling is impossible. Good job on making the app useless.

2020-04-16

Needs a Landscape Version

I have an iPad with a landscape stand, so it’s little cumbersome to use the app. Most of the apps I use turn to accommodate landscape. Could you please upgrade the app for landscape?

2020-04-07

Not liking new look

I’m finding the new update to not be very user friendly, I can’t find the daily weather technical discussions anymore and that was what I always liked to read, and the weather part is hard to navigate, as is the whole app, really miss the old look

2020-04-05

Mostly ok

I've been looking for a search button area. Couldn't find one. The placement of the stories is too complicated. Current news, weather, and closings at the top. Then the national news and

Local interest stories.

2020-04-01

Where’s. The dog

Bruce said his dog was sleeping a few days ago and we would see the dog in a few days? So where is the his Dog

2020-03-29

New version

Who ever designed this new version should get a new career change.

Please change. Enjoy your station but will use other stations apps for now

2020-03-29

New format is horrible & crashes

Your new app format is horrible!!!

It is so clunky to navigate and it crashes every time I scroll down.

Fire your app developer!!! They have no clue what they are doing.

Deleted your app... until u fix it.

2020-03-27

New version unstable / unusable

The newest version of the app crashes constantly on my iPhone 11. It will open but crashes after clicking any headline or link, or when scrolling down. It is now unusable. Add a bookmark to their website on your homepage instead ...

2020-03-25

Crashes

Continues to crash on both iPhone and iPad.

2020-03-24

Not very good

Many pop up ads and the app crashes after a few mins of being open

2020-03-23

Why did you mess with perfection?

I never had any problems with this app before it was revamped. Before I get rid of it completely I thought I would delete it and reinstall it. If I scroll down the app it closes. It closes probably 90% of the time. I then have to reopen it and try again. I usually just close the app altogether. I have always been a big fan of news 3, watching every morning before going to work. Now retired, I’m not up in time for the morning news and used to watch it on my phone. But,it’s a nightmare to try. If this doesn’t work, NBC here I come.

Ps: This is the third time I have written about this issue with your app. I really hope someone can figure out why this is happening.

OMG! Now I really know that it’s not me and there is something seriously wrong with this new app! You ask me to pick a nickname to appear along my review. Okay, Frani I can understand someone already is using it. So, I pick Squishy’s mom and then ChopSuey then PoloBear. Guess what? There all being used by someone. Come on! Now I’ll try picking the most outrageous and see what happens.

2020-03-22

Doesn’t scroll properly

The news stories, which are being fed from the website, don’t scroll with your finger and won’t scroll at all if your touchdown point is an advertisement.

2020-03-22

Crashes. Disorganized

Really dislike the new appearance. Makes it harder to see the top news stories. Also, the app consistently closes when I scroll down. Definitely a down grade compared to the old app

2020-03-21

I miss the old version

The new app view is not very user friendly and very clunky as you try to navigate the app and I’m a guy in my 30s so this is no issue in terms of understanding technology. The old version was simple and easy to use and I’m not sure why they chose to mess with something that was perfectly fine. This new version also crashes frequently....like ALOT!! so I’ve looked to other sources for my news needs. Hopefully changes come in the future in the way of a much needed update.

2020-03-21

Bugs and constant crashes

This app is unusable. Every time I open it crashes.

2020-03-18

Updated

No longer works in landscape mode.

2020-03-14

Latest update is horrible.

Randomly crashes while scrolling. Layout is awkward and not user friendly. Difficult to navigate. Overall horrible. Go back to old version please!!!

2020-03-10

New app

Wanted to vote but when I hit click here button, it went to a weather map.

For what it’s worth, I agree with the sports tournament cancelation.

I feel very badly for the athletes, but this is a public health emergency and is a perfect time for parents to teach their children the importance of putting the public good ahead of their personal desires.

We all must sacrifice for the greater good.

2020-03-10

Messed up

You can’t read it on IPad horizon ... what tech

decided to not make site available in Vertical

A N D horizontal view? Hartford Courant allows

both, CT 6 allows both ... ahem ... fix it!

2020-03-10

iPad Air 1st Gen Viewing? Needs Improvement

The App can only be viewed vertically and not horizontally. The smartcast icon doesn’t do anything. Please, fix this.

2020-03-04

Unusable on iPad

This app was great before the latest update which is now available only in portrait mode. I use a keyboard with my iPad in landscape mode. I either have to disconnect the keyboard with every alert/view, twist my neck, or pick-up the iPad with the keyboard to reorient. I can’t find a way to change the orientation, so I will delete the app. The new preview also shows the app in portrait mode so I think the issue is with the app.

2020-03-03

Worst update

How do I undo update and get back old version. Screen color etc triggered a migraine. You have to search for everything, only has crap when you open app. Geared towards you g people. HELLO- they don’t use this app as often as older people. We don’t want bells and whistles, we just want straight forward news.

2020-02-28

Bad update

I’ve used this app for years. The worst complaint used to be endless notifications about non-news. Otherwise it worked well - until the latest update.

It’s locked in portrait mode; most of the content appears to be a non-responsive push from the web site instead of an actual app; the technical discussion for the weather is missing; and many of the pages run off the edge of the screen.

2020-02-27

Horrible

I was completely fine with the older version.. this one is such a mess!! Seriously what were you thinking!

2020-02-27

Latest Update

Since the latest update, my screen will no longer rotate. Always stays in portrait.

2020-02-26

Disappointed

I have used this app for a long time. Just opened the app on my iPad to find it has completely changed. Doesn’t work in landscape mode (which I prefer) and some pages are overrunning the sides. The interactive radar is only about 1/2 hr and isn’t smooth. Not a good update.

2020-02-26

WFSB with voiceover

I have been using the WFSB be app with my iPhone and voice over for about two months. I am totally blind and would like to see some improvements in the app. For example, I would like to see a verbal description of weather. Obviously there is no way I can use the weather radar but, I do not see much description of weather Doppler. I know I am only one person but there were many blind people who watch you. There are other things that could use some improvement to. There are many things that don't work properly with voiceover. I'm not trying to complain, I'm just making you aware of things that need to happen. After reading some of the reviews, I also would like to add that I to have a problem accessing live feeds. Sometimes they come up very nicely others they don't. I have a very good Internet connection here and I always use Wi-Fi. For the most part, I do like the app.

2020-02-17

App ad videos disturbing

And almost impossible to disable. Want to drive your spouse nutty late at night? Use this app. When you’re trying to quietly read some news and noise erupts from your phone

2020-02-17

Your app

Every time I either click on a link from an alert or go directly into the app

It always says we’ll be right back and it never opens

2020-02-10

Why are there headline notifications?

Every time I get a notification I can’t tap on it and actually read the news bite. It just shows the logo with the words we’ll be right back. I want to read the news bite without backing out then combing the news or weather section every time. I don’t want a video of it. Most of the time it won’t load due to crap WiFi/LTE coverage. Not that hard people.

2020-02-04

My favorite channel!!

I absolutely love the whole crew!!

2020-01-29

Needs orderly set up

Maybe it is because I am new to this ap, but it is very difficult to follow your ap. Previously, I have followed the news on the WCVB, Boston. Give it a look, it might be helpful.

2020-01-28

I'm done

I've had this app installed for years. There is no way to customize the notifications anymore, and even when there was all I seemed to get was multiple sports notifications daily despite turning that off. So my option is too many invasive, senseless notifications or zero notifications. Going to free up some phone space and delete it.

2020-01-28

Love it!

I’m from CT but I live Upstate in NY now.

Good news or bad news,This app brings home to me.Also the it’s easy to navigate.

Thank you!

2020-01-04

Morning

Love all the folks in the morning. They are able to mix accurately news weather. Traffic with a true sense of humor. No other program would have a retiree to get up at 4:00. Please keep it up. Thanks. Bob

Best news station in the state. Love the app. Keep up the great work

2020-01-02

Weather updates

Weather updates especially radar are slow if they move at all

2019-12-31

App needs work

When I select to go to the app, it takes me to a not ready screen a lot of times, instead of my selection. The teases should give me the gist of the story like other news apps do. Instead, it is more of a bait than a substantive tease.

This is in dedication to the late Denise D’Ascenzo.

I’m saddened by her passing. She brought a spark to Channel 3.

However, that spark will forever shine bright. She made the station Glow. I have rated this station top 500 and will always be a star above other’s. I will miss Denise in the mornings but I will see her gleam through the other staff members. Therefore, l demand all of you step forward and keep marching forward, we all have a job to do! Keep pressing forward “Joy Cometh in the Morning, saith the Lord. Psalm. Rest In Peace Denise from Ms Jones, Senior Connecticut 2014

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
