NEWS CENTER Maine App Reviews

Weather Report. I like how you keep on top of everything concerning the weather & road conditions. We travel to Southern Maine frequently & like to know what is going on a head of time!!

Love it!. I love this app and this station- channel six is my preferred station. I love the news people- every one of them is professional, yet you know they are human with genuine concern for the public. I feel a connection with them- they are personable and that matters to me. I feel like something is missing in my day if I don't watch their newscast- I watch the morning report primarily due to my schedule- hate to miss it! Love them all- completely satisfied!

Live stream. I 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.

BEST LOCAL TV APP ESPECIALLY FOR WEATHER. Great that you can get the days video weather reports. Seldom does my schedule allow me to watch weather reports when they are broadcast on TV. CH6 weather team and reporting are great. Content of app is comprehensive compared to other local stations. Lost a star because sometimes buggy.

Review. Way too much stuff on your website. All I want to do is get the latest news and weather. This past week we had a missing young woman in Bar Harbor and you didn’t begin your reporting/coverage until much much later when the body was found or the arrest was made. So much for local coverage.

Confusing. I noticed another reviewer had commented on the same issue that I am about to address. And that is, why do I have to keep clicking to get to a story. One page says click here. After clicking there, I get another page that says click here. Sometimes that goes on for four clicks. Now admittedly this doesn’t take much time, but the fact remains it seems miss leading. In this day and age there are so many competitors vying for our attention, I think being user-friendly would increase your ratings and viewership. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Weather Forecast video. Would have given it a 5 star but there are too many ads. If you are watching an important video, such as the weather forecast, you are wasting valuable data time on your cell phone with the forecast starting with an advertisement. Some people have no other way to watch the weather forecast except by using their phone. This is especially important during power outages when there is no way to recharge your phone. I don’t mind ads for other videos but you should get rid of them on the weather video. Thanks for listening and please leave the advertisements off the weather forecast video.

The County. I would love to see more stories about Houlton Maine. It’s such a nice little town with lots of stories. A paragraph a week of random people. I have seen people go to the store there with 2 or 3 goats in their car. Don’t see that here in Nashua.

LOVE MAINE. Hello ALL Thank You for keeping Us updated on the good & bad. One ? I need help to Investigate T-Mobile in Maine.. Month of March 2023 they tried to take $218 & $51 all in March .. lied & said I called & okayed .. then another said the $218 was paid on the app & they lied & said $51 was approved on the T-Mobile App.. if I did not do who at T-Mobile played games with My Disability Money?? They would not let Me speak to. Manager that help run T-Mobile 😬🤪🤓they gave Me a Supervisor 🤪😡😣Because AM BLACK they think Am a dum Negro dealing with Maine Young White kids Can You Help report this News Mary Curry, Diagnosed as Disabled 🩸☦️🩸

News Center Maine is No #1. Always watch News Center. Really enjoy the News crew as well as the weather team. They seem to work together like family. Also like the behind the scene interactive News Center Now. Thank you

Old app worked on my iPad 7. This version downloaded, but does not let me into it... keeps saying there is a new app. I go to the store, and it shows I have the app, and says open... and repeat. Terrible, I used to use it a the time.

Excellent reporting - from a Mainer lining in South Florida plus 40 yrs.. I have enjoyed morning with you as well as Boston channel 25. It is important for me to hear the daily news here as my family is from Auburn - Lewiston, Bangor and N.H. and Ma. I enjoy your Maine humor too. I normally listen in to the morning show from 5:45 a.m. to 6:30 am. Thank you. Keep up the great “out in the field” reporting.

Improvement needed.. The weather man should not stand in front of the screen. He blocks the map and forecast chart. Standing still off to the side while giving the weather would give one a chance to learn while listening and looking at given information. One never sees Wednesday on chart.

News anytime. Being able to read the daily news event, weather, and sports in the palm of your own hand is wonderful.

How about a search feature?. This app update is horrible. There is no way to search for a story and most of the stories that are broadcast are not available to watch on the app.

One of the poorest news app experiences. Continues 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, ...

Keeps Me Current. Alerts to weather, road closures, accidents. Have saved me time. My favorite station for news and views. Not always easy to find links mentioned on broadcast on web page. Miss Bill Green. Have enjoyed the Breath of Fresh Air - well done. Would enjoy seeing more of the writers/production/camera folk interviewed on 207. Maybe Amanda should interview Rob!!

Nice app. II like getting the news alerts. The only complaint is there seem to be glitches when I try to watch the live Covid updates. Oftentimes the sound isn’t working, so I google for another way to listen.

Love NCM but...... That horrible ad I suffer through for every video is close to making me delete the ap. Why am I forced to watch an ad for every video. And if I am please make it a different one each time and much less annoying!!!!

Love News Center Maine, dislike the app. I’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. 👎🏼

I had to take one star off cuz.... ... Not sure why but when you click on a headline for the story, it brings you to another page with that same headline, and only that headline, but with a link below that says: >click for full story< it’s like... that’s what I thought I WAS doing!! So that’s my only little annoyance w this app, other than that it’s great and I use it frequently.

Keeps me up-to-date. The Newscenter Maine app and the news center main notifications that I receive and access on my phone, keep me up-to-date throughout my day. Without logging into any social media while at work, I can glance at an update and decide to pursue it further if I can or note that it’s something I will will pursue later when time allows. I appreciate the flexibility and the ability to stay informed and connected.

Hard to find actual NEWS. I 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.

Notifications annoying. I 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

All about Ads. Tiny picture on a cluttered page, but there’s more, you can only watch after enduring a cover ad, often followed by an on air ad. Small time inexperienced developer overcome by greed. Watch WCSH6 with an Xfinity or Directv app. Twice the picture half the ads.

Live stream improvements / setbacks. I stream channel 6 on my iPhone in the morning to get my news and weather - it is my only news source. I am pleased to see that it defaults to live stream over live video now, and the mandatory introductory ad is shorter than it used to be. The feature / glitch where the live stream shuts off after approximately 14 to 15 minutes of playing, without warning seems to have been resolved for the most part. Up until mid November 2020, someone would allow access to continue for the first 10 minutes into the Today show, allowing me to get some national news. However, as of a week ago they are turning it off at 6:59 on the dot now.

Push notification needs to open the story, not the useless “click here” page. I really enjoy a local news app. With national headlines I will open another app, however, because those apps take me directly to the story. This app goes to a “click here” page. Obviously I want to read more if I swiped on the story.

Buggy ad-filled app that doesn’t work 90% of the time. I’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.

A taste of home. I love living in Maine, but work and other responsibilities take me away from a far too often. Often for extended periods of time. This website and regular news, updates, from the serious to the entertaining remind me why I love the state so much. Thanks for making it feel like home even when I’m away.

Mountainman716. This app is more confusing than ever. Todd has a post I try to open it it goes to Facebook ( I do not use face book ) so the page says it can not find the page. There are too many hoops to jump through using this app. Programers need to fix this confusing app. Mountainman716

Our NCM future.. Amanda Hill’s stage presence has grown up to the point of perfection. She is the new star of NCM. She will be our major player going forward. Keith Carson leads the way on the weather front. He instills confidence and gives us just the right amount of weather education.

Timely updates. I enjoy being able to see weather and news interesting to me. Great service great weather and news team. Always up to date and professional.

Ridiculous.. I previously panned this app for its constant, irrelevant notifications (I wanted weather notifications, not “reminders” to check out their Facebook page). Eventually I just turned off all notifications and moved on. Unfortunately, recently there was an eye-opening event that has me about to delete this one for good. I check this app mostly just to get important local news. The other day I checked and saw nothing much of any importance. A couple kids escaped from Long Creek - and Olympics, Olympics, and more Olympics. 🙄 You know what story never appeared on the app? A local murder-suicide near me involving a mother and her two young daughters. Sorry, is that not news enough to be important? Why did I have to find out about it on - of all places - Reddit? I certainly prefer 6 to at least one other certain local news station that is unfortunately run by right-wing lunatics, but still. This is insane, and I’m done. If I need to get my news from Reddit, so be it.

Advertisement city. Man. 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.

“Click Again” page and organization annoying. As others have posted, you click on a story and you go to the same headline again and have to click again. Just seems like a huge UI fail. So annoying. Then the organization makes it hard to find other top headlines. All stories are buried under categories. While I’ll watch the channel some, I find that I use WMTW’s app instead when I’m trying to find stories or follow notification links.

Embarrassingly bad. I’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.

K. DeCourcy. Really enjoy this App, I watch your news daily but it is nice to check it during the day or if I miss the news I can always catch up on the App. In the middle of the night when I can't sleep, I check the news on the App instead of turning on the TV and waking my husband!!!

Love Maine. I own property in Penobscot County for recreational purposes. I would like to spend my summer there when I retire. I enjoy your app and can keep up on events and human interest stories and weather related news year round. Unspoiled New England the people, places and things that make Maine what it is. Truly unique and awe inspiring, from the ocean of Down East Maine to the Allegash and Mount Katahdin. From lobsters to moose, Maine has it all.

More local coverage, lesser negative news, and great weather. The app has a few quirks on an iPad or I’d give this a five star review. The coverage of news statewide is excellent. The weather consistently differentiates between coast and inland in an informative way. The reporters are, for the most part, warm, personable, and positive. National news is covered but the details are left to the networks. For me, this is a positive as I don’t need to hear the same stories twice.

Dr Brian Smith, Camden. I am generally very happy with WCSH ! Good people generating very high quality news and weather. Absolutely no other company gives me the overall satisfaction you folks do; and, I’m a very particular customer. The new options for my iPhone are top notch. Thanks for your good work, and for finding such extremely high quality people to be regular guests in my living room, and on my iPhone! Brian

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!?

Changes are not always a good thing. I would have given 5 stars but since they took away the local ads from the from the app the site uses useless advertisement or public service announcements from my area. You see the same ones over and over. I know it’s not News Centers fault. Not sure why we can’t get back to earlier times when we got Portland’s commercials. We have nothing up here and it was nice to see the ads from your area. I also would like to see Maine Life and Places and Spaces on an app to stream. We have taken trips to southern Maine because of these two shows. It was a great way to showcase our state. “Change is not always a good thing.”

Storm Center. After 36 Years of watching Channel 6, I had to make the switch to Channel 8 for cancellations this morning. Print was too small when the list was shown of closings and on line it was not easy to use or see.

Push Notifications. Several 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?

Not user friendly. I 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

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. ☹️

First to report. This network seems to be the first to report on many stories. I also use it to keep track of my loved ones’ surroundings even though I am not always there. It is comforting to know what’s going on when I’m away and even more helpful when I am in town. Keep up the good work.

Love it! Loud commercials though. We canceled our satellite so all we have are streaming services now, I am SO glad to have this news app! Only 1 thing I could change about it is how extremely loud the commercials are. The news is normal then the commercials are SO SO loud!!!! Please consider fixing this!!!! Thankyou!!!

The Best!. This news and weather team has always been accommodating and fun and informative! Feels like they’re sitting around the woodstove with you or outside on the deck or walking the beach with you.

Not my favorite news app. I 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

A Plus app. All you need for a news/info app-

Good so far!. Started using this app to watch politics going on in USA. Good coverage.

Thumbs Up-- sort of.. I am a WCSH fan and enjoy watching online their newscasts and 207. The restaged website (January 2017) is nice, however, I don't think it as easy/ intuitive as the previous version. I've also had some technical issues accessing it and the programs.

Thumbs Up!. Although this is informative; I still enjoy the other version better

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Really like the layout!. I do enjoy the new app-it taken me some time to get adjusted as to how to find what I’m looking for and I’m sure you’ll be tweaking things over the next few months!! Nice job News Center Maine!!

Good local news source. I appreciate the attention to just the right amount of detail. I want the facts, not the fluff. Also, as a new resident of Maine,it’s important for me to get to know the area. You have helped with that. Thank you.

Live video is great!. I have poor antenna reception so I use the live news video and my Apple TV mirroring to watch the local news! Also, my go to quick weather checker.

Weather’Girl’. So glad to see Jess Conley back on the news!! Am assuming that this will be her summer job until school starts again? Missed you, Jess - glad to see you back!!! 😊👏🏻

Updates on happenings. I appreciate getting phone texts with current information. Highway information is always helpful. Thanks for keeping me current!

Trustworthy. Prompt & trustworthy news, scientific breakdown of the weather explaining why they’re forecasting a certain way, great personalities~ All around top-notch crew.

Very handy news app!. I can connect quickly with current local events no matter where i sm.

Great news station. They have up-to-the-minute news, weather forecasts, and I like the swooshes of breaking news.

Horrid experience. 11 min of ads per 30 min. This channel and app are atrocious with ads!! You get 19 minutes of content from this news channel the rest is ads. I can prove it too. Just turn on a timer every time they show a an ad it will be roughly 10-11 minutes of advertising. There is a dude going around apparently sharing the morning show with NO ADS!!!! They will never catch him I bet.... do not get this app.....

NCM. Best news reporters. Always get the truth. No biased opinions. I can watch it from Florida as I am here right now but I will be back to Maine as soon as possible and I will be watching NCM in the morning, noon and Evening.

News Center Maine app. I agree with another comment: the only annoyance comes when you click on a story and the beginning or headline comes up again with a little “read full story”. That’s what I thought I was clicking on. Otherwise, love the app.

Ads, ads, and App Store app ads.. Unfortunately this app is completely non functional at this point. When trying to watch a video, within 5 seconds of it loading, the app redirects you to the App Store (paid redirect ad) and shows you an app that's paid to be shown. If you return to the wcsh 6 app, you'll be taken back to the App Store within a couple of seconds and be stuck in this loop until you close the wcsh 6 app. They should remove these redirects soon before everyone deletes the app as this ad type has rendered the app useless. It's a shame because so many good people at WCSH 6 do so many things well.

Awesome Crews. Enjoy the energy an commitment news center crews bring to there jobs. Great coverage of local an bit of national news. I enjoy all the teams. Mornings, afternoons, dinner time, evenings. Also great weekend anchors an crews too. 👍😷✌️

Love watching NewsCenter. I am now living in Michigan and love being able to watch my favourites whenever I want to. News from home is the best.

News/weather. Up to date and informative.

Show the show. Just show the news videos that you put on for tv too!! It’s a pain to find the news for main on line streamed and it’s sad that you guys have cut and paiste little segments of the news broadcast for the day! Some people don’t have a tv and use tablets so it’s unfair that your going to broad cast to tv viewers but not tablet viewers! I want you show and this app doesn’t do that! Sorry you get one star!

Good app but.... Too many pop up ads. Keep the ads static at the bottom of the page so we can scroll through the articles without interruption.

No sound for live streaming. The app is fine, but since the last update there is no sound when live streaming.

Layout is different. The layout is a bit weird since the update. I used to love the old app. I still like the News Center App but I am not sure if I like the new layout, so I only give it 4 stars.

Old News Misnomer. News is supposed to be current but we usually see yesterday’s news stories!

Needs work. This app has always been problematic for me. As I scroll down from one headline to the next, it keeps bumping me back to the top. Then I have to quickly scroll down through the list again to get back to where I left off, only to get pumped to the top again. This happens every time I view the app. It’s a real nuance.

News. Breaking news and local news weather right at my fingertips. I use this app all the time

Yikes! Why is my battery draining by the minute?!. I discovered the answer was this app. It used the most minutes per hour, and the most percentage of all my other apps. Even closed with background refresh and update turned off, this app was apparently still running in the background. Deleted it and got my battery back, and no more “coincidental” ads on other apps.

This app is a great help. I find that this app is helpful in many ways. It keeps me up to date on COVID AS well as weather updates and news updates

WCSH6. The app keeps crashing! I love watching the early news on my iPad , but it runs for 20-30 minutes tops and then crashes! So I relaunch it, and it crashes again in even less time! PLEASE fix this!

Reliable coverage. Outstanding weather team with great personalities. NCM keeps up with the times. I stream now and it’s easy to get the content I want.

Weather Only?. Got this specifically to access the weather forecast, and opted out of every notification that wasn’t a storm warning. So why am I still getting alerts for distinctly non- weather related news????? I want to know if there’s an impending snowstorm coming my way, not prez Trump’s latest tweets about the border wall.

Best way to start the day!. I love the happiness and camaraderie of the NCM crews. Aside from information and weather the joking/joyful banter is a positive way to start the day. Feels like a family of friends.

DISH. I’ve been forced to use the website more due to not having you on Dish any longer. How much longer is it going to be before this is straightened out? Please hurry I miss you!!

I like having the mobile app but wish NCM was less politically biased.. Having local news sent to my mobile device is very handy. Road closings etc. However updates to national and state politics is sadly biased to the left. Often leaving right leaning news unreported.

Very good. I live in Northern Maine and the dish provider doesn’t have local options. I use this app to watch live news. I do wish it had a CAST option so I could stream it to the tv. Otherwise, works well!

App keeps freezing. The app freezes every time I open it. Never had this problem until now. Disappointing.

Nice balance. Thank you WCSH for reporting news of the day but tempering it with some wonderfully heartwarming stories. We all need a little late this time of year. Much appreciated. Merry Christmas to all. Keep up the good work in the new year.

Too hard to navigate!. I have a terrible time trying to find your question every morning! I have to look and look and look to find it it should be right there when you open the app.

Bad app needs help!!. The app. is not very good very little content, very little updates, what video it does have often times doesn't play and freeze the app. Also all of the sudden the app will Close and open up the App Store for some silly game app. Very very frustrating Needs better tech support... or just relaunch it when you get a real developer.

Ads ads ads ads. What more can I say. Does there have to be so many ads as to make the page glitchy and unstable? Never could find the story I was after. You go greedy big business. Just remember that you’re not the only one out there and better service than the others is really ALL you have to offer.

Just happy. I have a way to review the news and weather because I have missed it on TV. Thank you for your work.

User Friendly Site. Best local news site. Concise, informative and easy to navigate through. Great job in providing current, up-to-date news and breaking news.

Buggy. I use the app on an iPad and it constantly lags, or crashes, or both. And the ads repeat ad nauseous. Would prefer local ads over “hooked on sports” garbage. Please get the bugs out of this thing…you are giving NewsCenter Maine a bad image.

Ads look like articles. I like the app and it works well but the large ads distract from the real content. Sometimes I can’t tell the difference between an article and an ad and it’s frustrating. If the ads are not made smaller I may delete. Every time I click on an ad I begin to get spam emails related to the topic.

Concise clear news both local national and international.. Well done NCM! Keep up the first class work. Thank You!

So many Ads. Not a smooth interface. Every time I click a new video or article I’m forced to watch a 30 second commercial. It starts playing the news, then cuts out and goes to Ads. When you just want to know the weather forecast and get forced to watch some bogus commercials it can get a little frustrating.

Updates always available. I like having local news updates when they happen,Newscenter Maine provides what I need when I want it

Lee Goldberg. Needs to dress up to anchor the news No need to look like he just rolled out of bed New suits and ties would do him a world of good Come on🤔everyone on channel 13 and 8 everyone dresses up Let’s get with the program😁

Ads of dead rats. I am extremely offended by constant ads showing real pictures of poisoned dead rats. Some rodent company. Despite sending feedback that the ads are inappropriate, they appear all the time. Disgusting, inhumane, and just plain gross. I just wanted to see local news. Guess this app isnt it. Deleted app and will not use again.

Doesn't work on my IPod. I tried to read News Center news this morning on my IPod and was presented with the new download. After trying several times to download the upgrade, I gave up and went to channel 5 and channel 8 to get my morning news. I get a blank screen each time. Let me know when you have it working.

NCM review. I like most of the people on news center six but the corporate extreme leftist bias shows through when a rally in support of Blue lives matter and President Trump 500 strong is ignored but a three person demonstration for BLM is extensively featured.

It’s great!. I really enjoy NCM app. I check it each morning and really like the fact that you have the top news stories and the weather in one place! Thanks!!

Ad popup. I 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.

Please fix or offer a paid version. It could be my phone, but I sometimes have to watch 2-3 advertisements to get to the video story. And sometimes (not always) the video isn’t even the one I’d like to see. Is there a paid version of your app to skip the advertisements? If not, please make available. I like the content, but not the adds.
