WCAX Channel 3 News: VT-NY-NH Reviews

Search engine news items that have been in the news does not work very well. When you do a search on an item sometime the screen stays blank. Why won’t it give you an error message?

I’m not a fan of the ads. Especially the full page ad you have to wait for in the beginning. I realize you need the ad revenue but there are too many now. Also, the main reason for my review is the constant crashing. On both my iPhone 6 and my iPad2 mini. I’m beginning to just expect it. I browse through all the headlines first to see if it’ll be worth going back when (not if) it crashes. It Used to be my go to app for local news. Hopefully it gets fixed.

Because we are going through very difficult times right now, I’m just impelled to reach out to let you know how very much I appreciate ALL of you. Your news reports are comprehensive, and you report the information we need to hear! I wish ALL of you continued success and above all, good health!

I did the update on my ipad today and now WCAXChannel3News won’t even open. Very disappointing. So much for bug fixes. Did anyone even test this “fix” before putting it out there?

Thank you for the speedy fix!

I don’t use the WCAX app much, usually just to re-watch a story or see one I missed. Downloaded this version last week. Takes sooooo long to open (to a full page add), looked through “news” for a story from yesterday, didn’t see it. Looked through “local news”, still wasn’t on the list. Meanwhile WCAXChannel3News crashed, and had to restart which took at least 30 seconds to load. When I searched by keyword, I found the story I was looking for. Not impressed. iPhone X 11.2.6 on WIFI

The ads are offensive, disturbing and quite frankly make me question the judgement of WCAX as a whole. This and the overall performance of the app caused me to uninstall it. And to think Darren Patton’s good name was within 100 feet of
this monstrosity if a news delivery platform. Go home whatever undergrad they hired to build an iPhone optimized app, you’re drunk. I literally deserve to be paid for the advertisement gauntlet of emotional trauma that is WCAXChannel3News. Please stay away. I’m willing to update my review, I am not bias. Please reach out

Very nice app, love that the streaming live news is back, thankyou!! Loads much faster than the old app, easier to get around, and a much nicer weather section. Who knows....might not need the WCAX standalone weather app any more, we'll see. Great work guys, a winner for me.

WCAXChannel3News is very frustrating to use, if you accidentally open one of the many “ads” below the actual news stories it’s nearly impossible to go back to the page where the articles are without having to get out if WCAXChannel3News and then going back into it and sometimes that doesn’t always work!

Stopped using WCAXChannel3News a while ago after complaining to the station that it was serving malware and didn’t seem to improve. Also their use of outbrain in a news app is literally serving us clickbait false news to make the station a few bucks, embedded in with real news stories. Really takes advantage of folks who aren’t as tech literate. Don’t bother downloading.

Used to be a wonderful app with local and national news. Recently was upgraded so it's just a bunch of ads. There is no reason to download or waste time with WCAXChannel3News. Deleting it and moving on to a news app which respects its users. I would give negative stars but they are not available.

Fast loading on an iPad but to wait 20? Secs for some unrelated ad to play, I have never streamed anything. There use to be a section for comments. It is needed. For example: a stolen green motorcycle was stolen. No information if it had a tag, And seen beefing driven away. What direction? Route? What happen to facts?

WCAXChannel3News process a great service for getting both local and national news. HOWEVER on an iPhone6+ it crashes after you read 3-4 items (especially if you load the news video). If this were fixed I’d change my rating!

WCAXChannel3News does me no good if I can’t see the video. Every story is overwritten in an oversized font that completely blocks the video!
We would love to watch channel 3 via HD broadcast as we are only nine miles from the transmitter. However, the signal is abysmally weak and only comes in on extremely fair days (read bluebird skies). Can WCAX work to improve these things?

The frequency of the ads and now the ads blocking what you are trying to read makes WCAXChannel3News a great disappointment. I used to use it frequently to catch up on local news. Now I go to other sites. Get rid of the ads! Or at least some you can read the news.

Lately WCAXChannel3News stops streaming during commercial breaks. I have to keep turning it back on. Also I have to keep deleting and reloading WCAXChannel3News to even get it to work.

The WCAX News App, along with other Gray-owned news apps, have been crashed and will be fixed just as soon as we can.

Very slow loading from previous version. Also immediately try’s to load weather even tho I didn’t select it ???

Just now updated to version 1.1.5. Wish I hadn’t! Crashes as soon as you open it. Deleted and downloaded again,same thing. I should know better. Old version worked fine other than banners. At least I could get the news. Live and learn. Don’t update!!!!

Better off just going to the web browser. Ad take the screen and doesn’t go away. Have to exit WCAXChannel3News and restart sometimes. At this point don’t really need WCAXChannel3News or the news from WCAX because of the ads.

With a lot of contents it is overwhelming to try to find items to review. It can be done but I almost gave up on WCAXChannel3News .

Last 6 months it just crashes when I try and open it, before it was chock full of ads. I moved to watching the news on pc only I managed to get a malware infection from one of the many ads, it’s not surprising though as there’s 10x more ads than content. After that malware infection I started using an adblocker, I know you rely on the ad revenue etc. but nobody should feel bad for you that people use adblockers, based on the number of have you add alone. You deserve to fail as a company based solely on Your cancerous amount of ads, and will continue to deserve it until you reduce the quantity.

I love WCAX news and weather. The website is pretty good. WCAXChannel3News was tolerable until the opening ad you must now wait through. I’m deleting WCAXChannel3News now...not worth it.
