Channel 3000 | News 3 Now Reviews

by Anfangs

The last update has destroyed the ability to use live streaming. Now I can only use it from the website using Google chrome. The old version was better. Please fix this asap

Update April 2021
Video sometimes works but Channel3000News3Now still is not great to use Anna's navigate.

Channel3000News3Now is rubbish! I get a news update on my feed, school canceled or major news updates; however, when I tap on it, the article does not load, I am almost always left looking at a blank screen.
The pop ups are garish and annoying.
The “view live” requires flash and a Facebook account. This is the iOS AppStore; we don’t have flash with iOS!! Furthermore, with all the scandals surrounding FB, many of us have deleted our FB accounts.

I ONLY keep Channel3000News3Now for major, headlining events and school closures, due to weather.

Whenever you are in a list of stories and scroll down a bit Channel3000News3Now refreshes and sends you to the top again. This is maddening! Clicking on notifications crashes Channel3000News3Now as often as it brings you to what you clicked on. Usability needs a lot of work.

News coverage is nice, but there is no option for types of alerts. I like and want the breaking news alerts, but the daily or sometimes multiple times a day alerts for some random news story they have on their over the air broadcast is ridiculous.

by Shonuff99

Ads every time you click for a news story. When you have a breaking news story it goes to a video feed pauses and you have a 15 second commercial and then you find out they not covering the story now.
Weather area used to be the best around but now they basically make you search all around just to find minimal info. I give up

Don’t you think it’s about time you cut back in the covid vaccine rhetoric. It takes up so much of every newscast that you hardly have time for important local news stories. It just becomes repeat, repeat, repeat day after day after day. 😵‍💫

I can’t tell you how’s my stories I’ve clicked on recently, only to see a “Watch Live Now” link and NO STORY. What if I want to know the story 2 weeks later? It takes me to the live feed, which ISN’T HELPFUL. I wanted to see stories about how to help local restaurants, and how the decision is being made whether or not to send kids back to school... there are NO stories!

Also, I wish I could choose what types of alerts I get. I just want breaking news (with a story attached). I don’t want “Coming up on our 6 AM newscast!”

Channel3000News3Now would be great IF it would actually load the articles and not only show the pictures... and if your lucky and you can read the article prepare to be kicked out!

If I try to use Channel3000News3Now 5 times in the day I'm lucky to get it to work 2 of those 5 attempts. 👎

Channel3000News3Now is ok. It’s better than it was and I can get some of the info I’m looking for relatively easily, but still a little cumbersome finding things. My biggest problem with Channel3000News3Now is the ADS. For an informational app, I have never seen so much advertisement. A lot of the advertisements are for the station - hello, I’m already using your app, do you really need to advertise your station and your app while I’m using it? As I said, it’s an OK app.

I'm not sure I like the new format. So far it's confusing. I also don't know if the news is not being updated in a timely fashion or I just can't find the new stories. I love the addition of obits, but it seems like they are incomplete and not updated daily. Overall on the right. Just needs to be tweaked. Starting to crash a lot. The font is horrible, very hard to read. No way to change it.

by Faily Reader

I read Channel 3000 throughout the day. My only complaints are that the obituaries aren’t all available. I have to go to Channel 27 to get a complete listing.

Wow, this is what an upgrade should do. I rated Channel3000News3Now at 1 star earlier because it was virtually unusable. Crashed everytime I tried it. I saw there was an update today and when I used it, the problems seemed to be fixed. Now, it seems to be a very well laid out and pleasing source of news, etc.

by Harry Bosco

App always moves back up involuntarily when viewing obituaries. Becomes rather annoying. Otherwise good information. Thanks

by FritzieFresh

It's working, and working well! Finally, this long frustrating app is actually very nice to use. I haven't had anymore crashes. The notifications are very timely and will go right to the story when opened.
The main page is laid out nicely and it is very easy to get to the stories I select.
Thank you!!!

The ap keeps flipping on and then crashing! Disappointing!

As a businessman, artist, and outdoors sports person, Channel 3000 News and Weather apps keep me up-to-date on important civic news, and weather tracking, keeping me safe, and informed!

Thanks Channel 3000

I’m a Wisconsin person who is now living in California,but, will return to live . It’s just so nice to be able to feel like I’m there.. Thank you for keeping me informed on the state that I love .

by The Lancaster

Seems like every time you start scrolling it jumps back uptop! Plus whoever is editing or writing has a fourth grade education! Ghetto speak, etc…. Pretty pathetic for a well established news organization! Very disappointed!!!

by Sassipantz70

I recently moved and I need to know how to change the news updates from my old area (WI) to my new area (IL) . Please tell me how to do this.

In living on the Eastside of Janesville and your tower is closer to the west side of Madison we end up with channel 58 out of Marshall/ Milwaukee! We really like the 3000 a lot and Milwaukee news doesn’t interest us much! I’ll keep going on line to get your coverage as you cover Rock County very well! Thanks for asking!

Loved Channel3000News3Now . Now I can’t get it to open! Deleted it and tried to start over. It still won’t work! Help!!!
