WMTW News 8 - Portland, Maine for Negative User Reviews
✓ App is good for 3 stars but could be a five star with less ads!Love to watch the news on TV when I can. I do like the breaking news alerts on my cell when I don’t have the News channel on at the time. However the app is an excellent app to read but if you want to watch a video you have to watch like a 30 sec. ad for each and every video and most story’s are just a bit longer then the ad itself. Do like one ad for every 3 video stories or even better like 5 stories and make the app a 5 star!.Version: 5.13.180
✓ Problem with ads overtaking newscastI really liked this App for watching newscasts on my iPhone however within the past several weeks something has happened where Ads will all of a sudden start playing on top of the morning newscast while the newscast audio is still playing in the background. Once this happens I can no longer get the newscast video back. I hope this can be fixed or I will have to try another station..Version: 5.13.996
✓ Sound issuesI love that I can get home from work at 1am and watch the full broadcast, but I like to steam it to my Apple TV. Lately, whenever I try to stream it from my phone to my TV, the sound is totally messed up. It sounds like everyone is under water. After dealing with a computer screen all night, I like to watch tv on my tv, but the app update isn’t helping..Version: 5.12.89
✓ Ok but if you’re not going to sell....If you’re not going to sell sponsored content then get rid of it! It’s taking up space that could be used for other stories instead of the same ones that have been there for a year!.Version: 5.15.244
✓ Video doesn't match storyWhen I click on a news story to read there is usually an accompanying video. I'd say about 50% of the time the video story does not have anything to do with the print news story. I don't know why you do this. I'd rather just read the news story if that happens. It's actually quite annoying because one thinks there's accompanying video. Please stop doing this..Version: 5.15.883
✓ Unbalanced News ReportingTo whom it may concern. I have been a long time subscriber and I noticed that you love to report mostly all negative things of our president and hardly positive. This country is better now than ever before so let’s start advertising that and be Happy you live here in the USA 🇺🇸. Can you try?.Version: 5.13.722
✓ Where’s the weather video cast?In older version of the app users could quickly find the videos cast. Now it’s either deeply hidden or not there at all. Way to make your app experience exactly like a television experience where your audience has to endure all the content they don’t care about so they can get to the stuff they do care about. I cut the cord in cable tv 3 years ago. Now I’m cutting the cord on this app and wmtw completely..Version: 5.12.45
✓ Some special interest articles linger too long.I have been viewing this news app for over a year now and I do like reading the news every day on the site. My biggest pet peeve is some of the special interest articles are kept on the site for months. And also when the news is posted and the story is still developing, the site will say about updating it as they receive more information-many times it never occurs. Frustrating in both instances....Version: 5.15.428
✓ LebanonWe can’t depend on the weather report on channel 8 because the weather report as well as other reports always stop at Sanford. Channel 9 in NH is more of a accurate report pertaining to our area. I do like the team very much but like I said most of the news is for upper Maine..Version: 5.13.801
✓ App Notifications No Longer WorkingWMTW 8 is our favorite local news station and when I first downloaded the app about 3 years ago, I would get the news updates with the WMTW “theme” song, however, that hasn’t happened for a long time. All the notifications are on according to the app info. I still use the app several times a day. Thanks for all you do! Jennie L. Cote.Version: 5.15.1006
✓ Ads giving off bells and soundsI’m deleting the app. I liked it for local news but now certain game ads give off shrill whistles and sounds. Jumped me the first time it happened. And it doesn’t turn off until the app is closed. News isn’t worth the annoyance. Bye..Version: 5.15.1208
✓ WMTW AppI like to check the weather before letting the kids out of the house to go to the bus stop for school. I just have a few things that should be updated. The first thing I find very difficult is trying to find specific articles that you are looking to read. I have also came across several articles that are old. Some of the articles are several months old and not to mention years old. You really need to check out your website and see for your self.Version: 5.13.498
✓ Sound issuesApp will continue to play audio or restart audio after being closed (not force closed, leaving the app normally). In a first for me, last night I was woken up when it randomly started playing an ad long after the app was closed. This was on an iPhone 13 and there was no way to stop it since it didn’t appear in the “now playing” control panel section. It stopped when I force quit the app - it was a pretty easy guess which app was doing it..Version: 5.15.1381
✓ StoriesThe ads that you have covers important part of the stories and actual news that you are sharing. I would suggest that you put your ads in between paragraphs instead of covering the article and important information..Version: 5.15.55
✓ Needs a little tweakThis app would be better if you didn’t have to scroll to read the weather. Trying to scroll up to read can be difficult and you have to do it just right..Version: 5.15.244
✓ Back button goes awayI’m editing my review from 5 stars to 3. After watching videos, the back button goes away and you have to close out of the app and go back in. It’s annoying. When it’s fixed I’ll edit again and bring it back up but not until this little annoyance is gone. Otherwise, this is the station I refer to first every single time I watch the news. Awesome app, but needs a little work..Version: 5.12.17
✓ Good butI’m not trying to be rude here but I just read an article about a police chase that ended on I-295 (which it never once said in the article). First it was referred to as the turnpike and then it was referred to as I-290. Twice. The only way I was able to figure out where this actually took place was by them mentioning exit numbers. This is inaccurate information as far as news reporting goes. How is one supposed to take this app seriously like this? iOS 17.2 and every update since makes the widget have an ugly dark black border. Please fix! Other apps have, you’re perfectly capable of doing so as well. Thank you. Also, if you could make it so that every single push notification from this app does not disappear just because you open the app or click on one of them, that would be fantastic. Really getting sick of that. This is literally the only news app on my phone that does that and it’s infuriating..Version: 5.15.1359
✓ Embarrassing AdsThey need to filter their ads AND start them muted. And you need to turn off your volume before you open the app in public spaces. I clicked on a headline from my lock screen only to had the word "Diarrhea?!" fill the otherwise silent floor of my office. And withing earshot, my director and VP. Luckily with a good sense of humor. But not everyone will be able to have all eyes on them from their phone yelling something inappropriate unexpectedly. It was worse than when Pandora on my TV started showing dildo ads while my mother-in-law was over..Version: 5.13.779
✓ Not bad for the most partGetting the weather forecast on demand is helpful. However any push notification I get I have to wait usually 15 minutes or more before the story actually shows up on the app to read. Also the content as you scroll down often times is old like months and months old so whomever is in charge of updating everything needs to spend more time keeping everything up to date. I usually have to go to the website to see more recent stuff which defeats the purpose of having the app..Version: 5.13.270
