NEWS CENTER Maine for Negative User Reviews

✓ Not my favorite news appI liked the old news center app a years or two ago. This app never has anything new it’s the same stories for weeks at a time. U might get a new happening now story but day after day it’s the same stuff which I guess is good if there’s no news but in york county n Portland area I’m sure there more going on than what’s on the app here.Tymann7Version: 42.1.16

✓ Buggy ad-filled app that doesn’t work 90% of the timeI’ve been using this app for over a year—it used to work pretty well and was great for winter storm-related closings. Now I’ll get news notifications and go to open them and EVERY time I try to, the app hangs on a white screen and never loads the content. I’ve waited a few months and it still does this! And what’s worse, on rare occasions that it does work, it’s FILLED with obnoxious ads. Do yourself a favor and avoid downloading it..NateKatsVersion: 4.31.080040831

✓ One of the poorest news app experiencesContinues to be one of the worst apps in news history, tons of wasted screen space, single file vertical scroll of “ articles “ with oversized imagery, loaded with ads and viral junk, ... I have always looked up the wcsh6 staff, but this app does not come anywhere near to what it should be in terms of professionalism, quick access to local news, local weather, ... Everything is bogged down by a stupid layout, loaded with ads, social media crap, ....AcrisisVersion: 42.3.15

✓ Please fix!When trying to watch the latest report-unless it’s currently live-ALWAYS get the error that “We’re having difficulty loading this video. Please try again or select another video to watch.” All the other videos work-why can’t we replay your latest broadcast??? Didn’t start happening until recently when the app changed!?.25rstVersion: 44.2.3

✓ Where are the articles?Loaded the new version last night. First of all, why is the new logo red? This is an angry/non-calming color. Besides that, I was excited to try out the new app. However, it seems that there are mostly videos now. I liked being able to read pieces before or watch a video. 95% of the time I read the article. This is frustrating that I no longer have this option. ☹️.KRptldVersion: 6.1.34

✓ Live streamI changed stations I watch because live broadcast streams always crashes after a period of time on iOS devices. Not sure about other devices. It crashes on all my iOS devices so I tried a different local news station and it never crashes. Uninstalled & reinstalled, Cleared device completely and always crashes. Might do it 5 or 6 minutes in or 10 minutes in to watching..Gg22guyVersion: 4.28.190036656

✓ Push NotificationsSeveral years ago I subscribed to school closing text alerts for specific schools. My kids have moved on from that school but I cannot edit my notification preferences from this new app. Am I stuck with receiving text alerts I no longer want because the old version of the app I used to subscribe is gone and the new app version doesn’t support that level of editing?.IMAINEiacVersion: 4.32.870042993

✓ Advertisement cityMan. I want to like this app. I really dig the news center maine crew but this app is not great. It’s not even good. There are tons of ads(it’s a free app so I get it but this is nuts) and they really slow the app down and sometimes cause it to freeze altogether. I’d pay for an ad free version if they ever made one. Another thing about the ads is they look so similar to stories that I often skip right past them thinking they’re more ads. -just a person with an extreme aversion to ads apparently..Maine2048Version: 42.7.35

✓ Hard to find actual NEWSI fully support having Maine voter info readily accessible, however a clickable banner would be better. That would leave room for the actual news. I got a notification about a missing boy in Cumberland and when I opened the app to read the story I was unable to find it. Had to go back to my phone notifications and click there to get to the actual story. Feels like a missing person notice should be placed higher in the scroll than the voting info..SpcialgirlVersion: 42.11.8

✓ Not user friendlyI have given the new app plenty of time and I must say the old app was more user friendly. This one skips around as you try to scroll through. You click where it tells you to to get to a story and who knows where it took you.Alex5956Version: 42.4.12

✓ Ad popupI love using this app, especially for the weather in my area. Recently, I am getting a popup when I open the app that asks me to allow ads on the next page. But, the next page never appears and it freezes. I have tried deleting it and reinstalling it and it will work for a while, but it always returns to the popup requesting me to allow ads. Very frustrating..HNB-LVersion: 43.4.27

✓ Love News Center Maine, dislike the appI’ve been watching channel 6 in Portland for more than 40 years and I love it! However, this app is downright irritating. My biggest gripe is that there is no search feature. C’mon, it’s the 21st century already! How hard is it to add a search button? Also, the notification feature is good, but too many times the information is simply not correct. As a news organization, it’s your responsibility to put out accurate information. Using spell check and grammar check once in a while wouldn’t hurt either. Finally, many stories are old news. Even the reporters’ Tweets or Instagrams are often old news. Overall, this app is a waste of time. 👎🏼.QuantumLeap3Version: 42.10.17

✓ Embarrassingly badI’m surprised that in 2020 a simple news app could be this incompetently and horrendously made. Ads are intrusive and literally messes up scrolling constantly, stories are inconsistently placed and confusingly laid out due to barrage of ads loading as you scroll instead of being loaded with the rest of the page. Honestly seems like it was made by a high schooler, not a news network parent company (TEGNA). I like NCM, it’s a nice local news network but man it’s a real shame TEGNA makes an app as poorly made as this for their viewers..RovonoVersion: 42.12.20

✓ Notifications annoyingI tried to keep notifications on and customized them within the app. Strangely, I would have to do this at least once a week because the notification preferences mysteriously changed. So I would start getting way too many notifications and would have to return to the app and customize again. Finally, I just turned off all notifications in my phone settings and I no longer get any notifications. Perhaps your app makers can figure out a way to keep a persons preferences.Littlestar3Version: 4.32.870042993
