Update IS Just unusable now

Gone to the website. It’s just completely unusable now.

Just ridiculous how much it’s “bouncing” around trying to load several commercials in every conceivable place on the screen. That live stream is also adding to the demand. It’s just too much. The screen jumping around so much causes users to click on the wrong story very frequently. I just got out because it’s a waste of time now. Greed isn’t good. If people aren’t using the app they’re not seeing the ads. I’m on a strong and fast WiFi connection too.

YOUR SOURCE FOR COMMERCIALS‼️

If you LIKE endless commercials then you’ve come to the right place. The app has become virtually USELESS for news stories or updates.
Fox 13 has by far, the BEST local news coverage anyway‼️

Signing up is a pain

I try to sign up, I open the email which opens in a browser not the app, then the app says I’m not logged in! Useless

Delayed News

Guess they want you watching the live NEWS because this is way out dated. Local news at a delay, basically useless unless you’re interested in old NEWS, nothing new nothing breaking!

Don’t bet your life on it

This app is never right, it will be pouring down rain and it will show no rain until after the storm has passed, however the location is correct for where I am at. It’s useless, potentially dangerous, don’t trust it.

I’d paternal money to toggle be able to toggle the ads off

When I’m using a News app and there is many ads as there are stories, it just bugs the heck out of me. One of the reasons I DVR my local news so I can fast forward through all the ads and get to the local news without someone trying to sell me something. Not asking them to stop selling advertising. I just want them to sell me the right to turn off the advertising when I don’t want to see the ads. I’d pay a buck or two a month to have that ability and that should be incentive enough for them to sell that product.

Needs improvement

News articles are poorly edited and are not updated regularly on the app

The newly updated 2024 revision is NOT good for iPhone

The News 3 WREG app typically works and functions well. However the newly released revision of this app is NOT good for iPhone users. I have an iPhone 14. All stories appear in extra large type from headline to story. The user must scroll down the page to read and the text is NOT uniform which makes read and following the information more difficult. The large text throughout isn’t useful. The stories and added photos also cannot be zoomed within the app. Some photos can be brought larger but no zoom. It has become less user friendly with the recent update and revisions. I’m probably going to delete the app as it isn’t easy to use, find and read the content as it once was.

Font Too Large

This used to be the go to app for local news. Now, it’s unreadable after the last update.

message center

meassges center is not showing upon the app now and save stories to is not showing up

Screen Freeze

This app used to be great. Now, it freezes when opened. You can’t get past the first page when asked about updates. Hopefully, this will be resolved.

Used to work

The app no longer opens the right stories. Sometimes when you click on a story it opens a different one. It is very bad about this on the national stories. I will click on those and it will open a random local story instead.

Newest version of this app is terrible

Whomever takes credit for this newest version of this Channel 3 app is a very special idiot. Memphis elementary school children can design better images and functions of this app.
Call me when you fix it. Because it’s so bad I ain’t staying.

Can’t get news to come up

Please fix this app. Cannot get past put your location or zip in.

“Clicking” on ads

Your advertisers are going find out that all those clicks are not generated intentionally by your users. Just reading one story will generate as many as 4-5 web pages. As soon as I see I’m being redirected to an advertiser’s website I go right back to the story. Then later I X out every last one of them without even looking at them.

Nice try.

Need text of articles not just videos

Many times I find myself in situations where I cannot play a video but the segments do not include text of the video. With todays technology, it should be a no brainer to include text with video segments. Also, the only way to get out of an article with only a video is to close the app.

Cannot Resume After Expanding Video

When watching a video in this app, you can’t come out of that screen to go back to the dashboard to read other stories…you must close the app and start over. This prevents me from using this app and if not fixed, I will be deleting it.

Liking to get the Memphis news

I No longer live there but I it’s home. Good to know what’s going on try to stop the crime Memphis the city is starting to be ugly !

Great App when ads don’t get kick you out

Lately whenever I open any article for a news story it kicks me out to safari and opens a link to an ad that never opens. Just a white screen. Also when you go to any story within the national headline, the back arrow in the top left corner goes away and you have to either close the app to get back to the Home Screen. The button “Home” doesn’t work.

So many ads

This app has so many ads that I literally can’t see the article.
