4/5WFSB with voiceover
I have been using the WFSB be app with my iPhone and voice over for about two months. I am totally blind and would like to see some improvements in the app. For example, I would like to see a verbal description of weather. Obviously there is no way I can use the weather radar but, I do not see much description of weather Doppler. I know I am only one person but there were many blind people who watch you. There are other things that could use some improvement to. There are many things that don't work properly with voiceover. I'm not trying to complain, I'm just making you aware of things that need to happen. After reading some of the reviews, I also would like to add that I to have a problem accessing live feeds. Sometimes they come up very nicely others they don't. I have a very good Internet connection here and I always use Wi-Fi. For the most part, I do like the app.

4/5I’ve been watching WFSB since adrianne baughns
I’m only 51 but I was brought up on WFSB channel 3. I’ve watched thru Hilton (when he almost blew off Mt Washington) and Gayle and the Oprah/Stedman interview. Dennis and Denise, all these yrs (I love to look at 20 yrs ago clips). And..... since I was an adult.... Scot Haney. Lol. I remember saying to my husband that if I wasn’t married, I’d date that Scot Haney. Then everyone told me he was gay.... and oh well... I still loved him all these yrs. (just not in the dating way! Lol) I’ve watched thru 9/11 (when Bruce lost a family member) not to mention challenger disaster and storm Larry and October tornado in Windsor locks. And thru first female governor, not to mention realizing in that time what “cancer” meant. As time has changed and so many people are just watching smart tv, Netflix, and streaming. I cannot give up local tv because I cannot give up WFSB 3. Thanks for the years and memories

4/5Overall 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?

2/5Mr
What I find annoying is the pop-up ads that appear when you are trying to change articles or read an article and have to change pages or whatever and then it pops up and you gotta sit there and wait for it to disappear or click on it to read it. And my particular case of the roofing ad just does not do anything for me because I don’t need a new roof. I live in a condo unit and the condo takes care of the roof. The change over to the new format is a little disconcerting because you gotta find your way around. There’s no instructions to tell you where to look that can be very frustrating for those that are technologically challenged so in general not really happy with it the new format, my issues may seem minor to you but their major to me. Thanks for all the news that you put out there. It’s really great to watch you guys you are on my channel.

4/5Generally good - Could be better
I appreciate the updates. I would prefer it if the important details of the story could be presented in the first line, or in the piece I can see when I open the app, rather than a tease, so that I wouldn't have to waste time clicking through to every story. It's a newsroom - I imagine you have talented headline writers and people who know how to write a lead, and I'm willing to listen to the whole story when I sit down to watch the news. But when I'm busy, and using the app to just get a quick overview, I don't want to keep clicking. Otherwise, I like your app very much.
