WWMT News 3 Reviews

It is improving, but still not worth it even free. They do not update enough and not at all on weekends or holidays. When you open the "WATCH LIVE" it tells you you have to do this during a regular scheduled newscast, even while you are currently watching a news cast. I wonder if they will ever get their act together. There are much better local station apps.

Extremely glitches. Articles will not load!

Update June 2017:
DOES NOT WORK AT ALL ON IPAD!
WWMTNews3 refuses to open! They promote it all the time on air, but it's not worth the time to install or memory to keep!

------------------------------------------

This release works well on the iPhone. The iPad is another matter. Very slow to load and will not orient to landscape format. Irritating!

Just updated to ver. 6.7.0. On the iPad it still won't orient to landscape. The word wrap is terrible. Each line is run off the page regardless of the text size. About ready to delete it and forget it!

Updated to 6.8.0. Still no landscape support for the iPad! Word wrap has improved, but the whole thing is irritating. They push WWMTNews3 over the air, but they won't take the time to fix it!

Reducing rating to 2 stars due to lack of functionality!

in the last two weeks every time I tried to enter WWMTNews3 , it would just send me to WWMTNews3 Store with different apps to buy. I could never even read a story. So I figured that WWMTNews3 must have been hacked. I sent a message to news three which they have never responded. So I figured it must be my phone but I know that's not true because I got a new phone yesterday and downloaded WWMTNews3 and I have the exact same problem. So unfortunately I have deleted WWMTNews3

WWMTNews3 is a link to my community. Only, it doesn't want to work! It will run for a brief second. And suddenly it quits. I can not follow the local news. And feel connected to our community if I constantly have problems with WWMTNews3. I might be better off without this. That's to bad too. I'd like to be able to keep up on currant schedules. Good luck with that. I'd really like to cuss like a storm. Keep reloading the page. Gets very frustrating. We pay a lot for these devices not to work. That ain't right...

I have had to turn off the push notifications everyday for the past week. They keep turning back on. I do know how to do this and verified they were off each time. After 7 attempts to turn them off I have now deleted WWMTNews3 . Too bad for WWMT.

The text of the articles now appears as black boxes.....

Shows ads and then is stuck on we’ll be right back screen…good and terrible.

Doesn’t really report on local news, especially if they prefer to get bribes or special treatment from powerful companies taking advantage of employees. Journalism, don’t make waves, just stay safely behind your desk doing feel good pieces.

I live in St. Jo County and yesterday afternoon there was a stand off with the Police and even the Swat Team in Three Rivers. And there was an accident on Covered Bridge Road and not one word about either on the 5-6:30pm news. Not every story has to be about the virus. There was 1 accident on (I believe) center street reported. Thank God the mail carrier story mad the cut. Disappointed!!!!!

I would like to know why WWMTNews3 causes my iphone to run hot? what is WWMTNews3 doing in the background that would cause iphones to run hot and damage the battery? this is my second iphone WWMTNews3 has literally destroyed the battery due to causing the phone to run so hot you can’t hold on to the phone after a while. again what is WWMTNews3 doing in the background???

WWMTNews3 has always had issues. It has only gotten worse. The news stories do not seem to update as quickly. Too much going on. The closings and delays section is a jumbled up mess that has error message when trying to open.

WWMTNews3 doesn’t appear to work in landscape mode. Most annoying.

This last release is a pain. You get no news unless you select "All News." Settings are not saved, so every time you open WWMTNews3 you have to start over. Also, on the iPad, since the redesign, it will not orient itself to landscape.

The person in charge of the push notifications is driving everybody crazy. Notifications are being sent out for every little thing. The news is coming on at five, the news is coming on at six, the news is coming on at 11. We're going to talk about this and we're going to talk about that!
I'm going to have to delete WWMTNews3 if I can't get these things turned off!!!

I like news 3 for their coverage of local news in kazoo and Battle Creek but, WWMTNews3 needs to be fixed. Every so often I click on the news section and I'm brought to the I-team investigations page instead. I also wish that WWMTNews3 would update breaking news sooner.

This doesn’t work in landscape and will not flip in portrait, allowing only one aspect. There are often headlines but no body following it and no obvious way to locate the actual story. On the plus side, the annoying advertisements that appear in the middle of the story (when the story is actually shown) are fairly short and appropriately are removed when finished.

Just downloaded this upgraded app. It's now formatted for ipad which is much appreciated. The layout is easy to use and so far no problems. The reason for 3 stars versus 5 was videos. I'm not able to view any. Not sure why?

Lots of potential unfortunately whom

App has come a long way, but it would be nice to have an option to customize notifications. I want breaking local news alerts, but high school football scores flashing on my screen every 5 minutes on a Friday night gets annoying.

It keeps me up to date on important news items. I also enjoy seeing the pictures that people are sending in. I really like the stories about animals.
