WAY too many useless notifications, and too many ads
It’s just ad after ad after ad. Some are unskippable, and some force sound on even if you have volume off, which is terrible if you’re in a reception area or somewhere public. Plus, many of the ads seem almost like scams, as if WFSB doesn’t screen them before allowing them to advertise. WFSB has good local coverage, but either watch it or find another way to get your news, because all you’ll get in the app is ads.

Channel 3: 2 Many Ads; 1 Reason Why I don’t like it!
This news network by far is one of my favorites. The news covers many events local to me. I can watch the live streams on this app. When I receive alerts, I often click on them to see what the news is. The issue I have is all the ads!
I click on one news story, then in the “related” stories or additional news, the stories seem like news, but are ads. I attempt to crawl up the wormhole, only to have to leave the app and start again.
Understanding that advertising is an integral part of many applications, if this were a game, the ads would ruin it for me too!
Not sure how to have less ads, but this is by far too many for what should be strictly news.
Less ads, more stars!

Not able to access app
Love this app, but recently I can only access it with my cellular data. When trying to access it with my internet, I am receiving an error message saying it cannot access/locate internet. I have an iPhone and Frontier….checked my iPhone settings, modem and all other apps. Restarted my phone…uninstalled the app and reinstalled the app and no luck using your app!

Format
Would like to see the format changed. Many times can I get into a video. Scrolling takes too long. I have many times try to search only to receive a cannot be found notice. Irritating. I follow a out-of-state station called WMUR and they have a wonderful format and many different sections which offer different types of subjects. Might want to check that out. It’s very appealing. Like to add that there are too many ads and too many notifications about the same thing just written a different way. Multiple weather alerts over the same thing repeatedly. Annoying and totally unnecessary. Many of those can be cut out. basically everything is just messed up and looks confusing

Good day with Caitlin and Scot
Scot and Caitlin are excellent together ! Their chemistry is amazing !
They are more fun than Kelly & Ryan !
Yesterday watched them with morning news (Caitlin is a great anchor ), Good day and afternoon they were on all day together and everytime I came in house I turned on 3 to see if they were on and couldn’t change the channel when they were .
Please give us more of Caitlin and Scot !

Overall good app!
I use this app everyday, I actually love getting the notifications from it on both my phone and Apple Watch. It has helped me keep up with breaking stories and also to know if there is sudden traffic on a highway. I use it for school closings, weather, and occasionally I will watch live news. My only complaint is that when I open a notification for a breaking story the app never brings me to that story!! I always have to go find it another way which is pretty annoying. It always opens to live news or something totally unrelated. Is this intentional, by error or just a functionality fault? Would love to actually read the article you are notifying me about when I touch it. Maybe it’s a setting?

Too much weather reporting
Can you possibly cut back on the continuous weather reporting. It’s too much. We enjoy your reporting on Connecticut and National news. Since Bruce retired it seems the weather is your priority. 3 updates in a half hour show for weather then commercials we get maybe 12 minutes of actual news. Rick Carragher Moosup, CT

App is awful, each update gets worse. Deleted it
Only thing worse than the app being clunky and crashing is the fact Nicole Nalepa is on it. She’s pathetically needy and seems to think we are interested in her pregnancy. We are interested in the news, not her. It’s pretty pathetic and cringe. WFSB has become an embarrassment to news everywhere. Denise is no doubt rolling in her grave watching the embarrassment that is Nicole Nalepa and Roger Susananin (guy who smears food all over his face like he’s mentally or physically disabled on a regular basis)…..but she wouldn’t be watching on the WFSB app, it freezes and crashes 😂 try NBC CT, glad I did.

To much advertising
I liked the app better when I didn’t have to view so many commercials before I could access the news and weather.
Please update this redesign
Loved the old app, the new changes make the app too busy, very distracting, even my teenage daughter said she doesn’t like it. Instead of going directly to stories when text alerts are received, the user needs to scroll looking for the story. We love WFSB, however, these changes should have been beta tested, the main page is busier than Times Square. Hoping for some updates to this redesign.
