WCAX Channel 3 News: VT-NY-NH 12+

The app is a good one. Especially on the Apple TV. Great choice to either stick with local VT news all day (repeated broadcasts until the next scheduled broadcast) or watch national local news from various other states. However, the ads they run between segments have been the same for almost a year. It’s exceedingly frustrating to watch any more because of that. The worst part is that, like on broadcast tv, the newer ads start running but then are overridden by the same old ones. While it shouldn’t matter what ads are running, it takes away from the viewing experience. PLEASE let the same ads that run on your broadcast channel run on you app platform! We are very close to removing the app from our Apple TV and just relying on national news apps instead. They’ve figured out how to change things up!

I’m not a fan of the ads. Especially the full page ad you have to wait for in the beginning. I realize you need the ad revenue but there are too many now. Also, the main reason for my review is the constant crashing. On both my iPhone 6 and my iPad2 mini. I’m beginning to just expect it. I browse through all the headlines first to see if it’ll be worth going back when (not if) it crashes. It Used to be my go to app for local news. Hopefully it gets fixed.

This app is very frustrating to use, if you accidentally open one of the many “ads” below the actual news stories it’s nearly impossible to go back to the page where the articles are without having to get out if the app and then going back into it and sometimes that doesn’t always work! Also why did you change the Weather format? What was wrong with the old one, I was used to it and I liked the way it worked. The one that replaced it is an app that I’ve already downloaded from WCAX because I like to have the option of using either one or both
