WEAR ABC3 Reviews

by Dave________

You may be reading reviews and thinking, “I’m not really concerned about the opinions on content or commercials.” Here’s is a review you should consider. I have a new iPad and a fast internet. However, WEARABC3 will not stay on live feed. If you are going to advertise “live TV,” then WEARABC3 should be simple to use and actually function, neither of which WEARABC3 does.
I hit live TV: Lloyds auto glass commercial. Then, blank screen.
I hit live TV again: Lloyds auto glass commercial. Then, blank screen
Repeat, repeat, repeat

The news feed is almost always a day and a dollar short on being current with the news.

Landscape mode doesn’t work, links from alerts go nowhere, just plain junk. Doesn’t matter, their reporting stinks anyway.

It’s hurricane season, and I can’t view there current newscasts. How is this helpful?! Please fix. Now I have to go somewhere else.☹️😠

There is no reason that if a live broadcast freezes and I have to close it and reopen it that I should have to watch another ad before I can go back to the live broadcast. I understand that they sponsor WEARABC3 but good lord I don’t need to see there as every single time I open WEARABC3 to watch something. Or every time I change video’s I swear if I have WEARABC3 open 10 min atleast 3 of those 10 min are spent watching ads for a law firm! Annoying!!!!

Tried using CC just for an idea of what the reporters were saying, but who wants to read the news on a tiny iPhone screen? Every segment I am forced to watch a commercial for Levin Papantonio. Not interested!

Every time you want to play a news item, you have to watch a short commercial. I don’t need this, it’s a waste of time and deleted WEARABC3 .

Can’t watch their weather on the internet without it freezing,looks like adds are taking over my phone just like in old days trying to watch on computers .

Too aggravating to use. Last updates made WEARABC3 useless and I agree with too much Levin. Also agree that not updated in a timely manner and seems to be in a frozen state. Old news is not good news.

When receive notifications of news breaks app won’t open. I have deleted and reloaded 2x.

As usual the latest update of your app continues to be lousy and does not support landscape mode. It’s obvious that you don’t care about the functionality of your app. You need to pay a professional to build a proper app. Sinclair does not care.

I have tried to use this to get a more accurate idea of the weather forecast, however they only show you temperatures, not rain chances. So it’s honestly pointless for weather.

by Megs3812

There is no sound with WEARABC3 or setting controls for WEARABC3. It’s pretty useless to watch live or receive weather updates cause it doesn’t work!! I will just continue to use Allen Strum Facebook page to get my weather. Too bad WEAR get an app that works!

WEARABC3 is garbage! It never works right, freezes, and won’t let you go back nice you’ve clicked on a story. The stories are filled with ads and the news isn’t actually news worthy. The articles are poorly written. Journalism is dead and so is WEARABC3.

by Haukehe

Your app used to be awesome. Now, not so much. Weather reduced to 30 second sound bites. Can’t even see the hourly percentages for rain fall. Living on the coast and making a living on the water… your app is a fail.

Shows old news for 3 or 4 days, here it is 5/5 and the top news is from 2-3 days ago. Not worth downloading.

I would think that fewer notifications would be more effective. It is my understanding that notifications are to inform of important events happening currently of which people should be made aware. On a scale of 1-10, the top 25% of stories would qualify. Not every story is newsworthy and can be considered a 10, but the amount of notifications I get on my smart phone from WEAR is staggering. Only Fox News exceeds WEAR in that capacity. Please consider reducing the notifications sent out every day to the truly important ones (i.e. Amber Alerts, etc.) and relegate the lesser ones (i.e. drainage ditch issues and such) to the evening newscasts. Just a suggestion.

WEARABC3 could be a LOT better without the numerous ads you’re forced to watch before you can actually watch the news.

by Jimotr

Unable to view stories via landscape on iPad. Only able to watch via Potrait. I looked in the settings and I don’t see any place where I can change it to Landscape.

Keeps me up-to-date whether WEARABC3 is up-tp-date or not.

by UF-ENG

Really. I get to see a advertisement for the Levin law group every time I want to watch a WEAR news video???

by Hump1595

Live broadcast spends more time with “we’ll be right back “ than the actual broadcast!!

by Jar1215

Am i doing something wrong? Every time i go to watch a video there is no audio at all. Very frustrating.

by Ron Doobie

No audio on ipad. Videos are useless.

I downloaded WEARABC3 to watch news from my hometown while living in Colorado. I’ve watched hours of commercials only to have the blue wait screen cycle until it either cuts off or goes back to commercials. I truly miss watching WEAR3 so please fix it.
