Necn: New England Local News for Negative User Reviews

✓ Latest version freezes on launchThis has been a go-to app for local news. However, the new version [6.18] freezes immediately upon launch -you can’t navigate to any content or stories. This is 100% repeatable on an ipPro running iOS 14.7. To add a bit of salt to the wound, the app support link in the App Store goes to a missing page. Best not to upgrade until a fixed version is released..TechnodadVersion: 6.18

✓ Umm, fix your freaking links, dummiesWhy when I click a recent headline do you give me a completely different article to read??? Why when I clicked 'several' local article links just now do you link me to the same page with a UK news article about bald men?? ARE YOU STUPID OVER THERE AT NECN??? IS YOUR DOG CODING THE NEWS APP? Are you as bad at getting the news right as you are at making this app work?? Did you do any QA testing before you launched this update? It's been a problem of wrong links for many, many updates. Is your weather anchor coding the app in his spare time??.PhoneToolsFanVersion: 7.3.2

✓ Alerts are quick readThe notifications come with a few lines of text. Able to see if need to read immediately. End of my day click alerts in app and quickly see day’s headlines to catchup. With video or just reading. Extremely nice to have this choice to save battery life. Some afs seem inappropriate....{Bibliophile} ^.^Version: 6.17

✓ Questionable connectivityThe app used to work really well and in the last few months in the iOS platform won’t allow me to connect to the weather portion and completely freezes. Plenty of storage on my phone and no WiFi or connection issue just the app freezes….. I hope it can be corrected, necn is great just the app is struggling….Gbuck51Version: 7.3.2

✓ Not worth the spaceThe only reason why I downloaded this app is so that the NECN weather app will stop asking me to download it.…guess what: it still asks me every time. Very frustrating. The app itself is mediocre at best and the constant buffering for videos is intolerable. Deleting ASAP. Update: Why couldn't you just leave well enough alone? All I needed was a simple, yet comprehensive weather app (which you had) and you've turned it into garbage. Why did you turn it into an everything news app..DecmomphotoVersion: 5.5.3

✓ Where is “Set your start screen?”Just downloaded the app. Had read reviews here, where the developer wrote that you can set your start screen so the app “feels like a weather app,” however, clicking on the NECN on the top left does NOT bring up a menu that lists that as an option (on ios- iPhone). Am I missing something, or has that feature been taken away? Hoping it’s the former, as I liked the older weather app; it’s the main reason I downloaded this news app. If there’s no option anymore to set your home screen, making it necessary to wade through a lot of other items just to navigate to what I really want to see, then I question whether I have use for it. Have read the FAQ for the answer to this question and could not find an answer. Might anyone please help?.SusICapVersion: 6.1

✓ New update requires magnifying glass to read!This was the only weather app I used until the latest update, which changed everything and makes it almost impossible to see any of the text since they changed the font to something completely illegible. Who thought this was ready to release and they must have terrific vision if they think this is better then before. I hate to say it, but any other weather app is better than this now. Absolutely disappointing and they should be embarrassed of themselves, ruining a perfectly functional and easy to see and read weather app..CrossICEpassVersion: 7.0.4

✓ Too many adsI actually liked the look and navigation of the old version better in general. There are are so many ads! The same ones over and over and never a chance to click through them..An pacedVersion: 7.0.4

✓ Works just okI liked the old version but I understand that it could not be updated for the new iOS. However the new version has problems with the weather. The scrolling is very jerky if you change location when it changes the map. Also when you change location the hourly forecast does not change. Try the winter forecast in Boston and Orlando. It will show the same hourly forecast for both. It also does not update the hourly forecast if you reopen it later in the day. The only way around this is to completely terminate the app not just close it..Bill-lVersion: 5.7.1

✓ Please bring back the old NECN weather app!The new update is terrible, nothing loads, just the spiraling wheel. And like another mentioned the news is terrible, a few current articles and then things still on there that are months old. I really wish you would bring back the original weather app. It was so good and so accurate. Now the entire app is useless. Thank you for the consideration. Original review 2+ years ago: I am at a loss for my weather now, this is not even remotely as good as the old NECN weather app. Please have your developers update the old app so it is compatible with IOS 11. The old app was my “go to” and I recommended it to everyone I knew... especially those on the sports sidelines with me. Thank you for your consideration. And, I see the “developer response” on all the bad reviews is “oh the old app just isn’t compatible “..Fixit1pleaseVersion: 7.3.2

✓ I’m not watching a :60 ad for every :60 videoI’ve actually stopped patronizing a couple of businesses just for running their tedious gasbag ads on this app. I don’t care about the overacting nonunion talent with a severe Revere accent pretending to have an orgasm over your shingle sale when I’m trying to see if a tornado is coming toward my house. If you accidentally click away and have to restart the video, you might as well off yourself because you’re in for an advertising double feature. It’s like the developers have never used the Internet. Also the map is crap..Trouty LipsVersion: 6.17

✓ Terrible AppI used to and still do like the weather part of this app but a recent update makes it always open up to the news. This annoyed me but this morning it ruined my enjoyment of watching the olympics by putting it in my face that France upset the USA in basketball as I literally had just turned it on and the game is airing at almost half time but now I can't watch it because necn ruined it for me. Why would you put this on the opening page??? You are deleted and I'll have to settle for a lesser weather app.MikeKimEVersion: 7.0.4

✓ Used to be the go to weather app…. Now it’s junkI’m not saying anything that previous reviews haven’t already covered. This used to be an amazing app. The best one for New England. However, updates, and maybe company changes, policies, etc. have rendered this completely useless as far as I’m concerned. We deleted this and now we use Fox 25 which is pretty much the same as the NECN App used to be about 3 years ago. It’s a total shame that NECN couldn’t respond to their customer’s complaints and concerns and see what a good thing they had..MalibulivinVersion: 7.5

✓ AwfulI know that when you get used to an app, finding things within it becomes intuitive, and when it changes, there is a relearning process, but..... this updated app is terrible particularly the sports section. Try to find the latest news on the Sox or the Pats... you open the sports section, there is no menu and the stories are weeks if not months old! Not happy with this one. In fact, deleted it..Jbhl4Version: 6.9

✓ Once Useful, NECN App Now UselessWe used the NECN app religiously-mainly to check the weather. Now, inexcusable load times and crashing have rendered this once great app to nothing more than a waste of space in my weather folder. Our truly is a shame. The last update to this app was three months ago. Looks like the parent company has set its priorities elsewhere. Don’t download this app for weather or any other reason..Matty A 34Version: 7.3.2

✓ Decent but still visually “noisy”I can get the info I want but like most news apps the quality is lacking because of the downward slide into social media views. A typical user has a phone and the information content should be succinct and clear. Social media is designed for infinite scrolling to keep eyeballs on advertisement. I prefer the information be more clearly presented — weather today and through the week with deeper layers like videos presented carefully and selected for value over just filler in existing spaces..Ronak.y.shahVersion: 6.8
