User Reviews

Reviews show the app is valued for local Channel 3 news coverage, with some users regularly using it for daily news and Rock County reporting. However, widespread issues undercut the experience: heavy ad load and intrusive pop-ups, disruptive Watch Live prompts and misdirected notifications, unstable scrolling with reloading and jumping back to the top, and features like weather radar not loading. Duplicated stories and unreadable obituaries, along with general performance slowdowns, lead many users to consider deleting or switching to alternatives. Overall, the app delivers content but usability is severely hampered by ads and UI glitches.

Pros

Some reviewers report using the app daily to watch Channel 3 News and rely on its coverage.
Local coverage is valued, with users noting Rock County reporting is well-covered.

Cons

Ads and pop-ups interrupt reading; heavy ad load and video ads.
Watch Live prompts disrupt reading and notifications misroute to live video instead of the article.
Unstable scrolling with pages reloading or jumping back to the top.
Weather radar not loading and overall performance is slow after updates.
Duplicated stories and readability issues in obits/grammar; general content readability concerns.

Recent reviews

Every time I use this app I am forced to close the header asking me to watch live. If I wanted to watch live I would turn on the TV. This is a horrible user experience.

App is as bad as they’re over the air broadcast station channel 3 signal in Madison. They need to invest in some serious upgrades on both!!

With a new update a video news clip always pops up. The only way to get it to leave my screen - even after closing the app- is to force the app closed. I just want to scroll the headlines and now it is a huge pain. Going to delete for now until they remove that feature. This had been my go-to app for Madison news
