I 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 Sound issues Tigzola
Page freezes due to annoying video commercials and videos whether you want to watch them or not The WMTW App that was removed was far more user friendly PAGE FREEZES DUE TO Skemp08
Like this app It really works n is user friendly Like bein able to watch listen to the news anytime Scrubbing also works n app opens in horizontal or vertically Good job WMTW JoeBear MeJoeBear
Great content nice variety but 90 percent is video and advertising Not good Did you guys ever think that your consumers are on a bus train public space where others don t want to be disturbed And perhaps we just want to READ an article since we might not have earphones No probably not because all you care about is ad dollars and not your consumer advertisingisrape WAY too much video ads KCJimA321
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 Where s the weather video cast Maranacook
I 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 Back button goes away Memy27
Don t like the new app at all I like the weather separate from the news Not user friendly New wmtw app Suzyq6114
Love getting Maine news while in Florida WMTW news is easiest to read and up to date News Gal windy
Free app Don t make me close your app due to adds Charge a buck and have no adds so it is on demand as we need or want it Best crew across the board which makes me still watch for now Crew is great Trancedout
New version hurts my eyes and I cant find anything I will probably end up deleting it Older is better
This latest update makes the app essentially useless It used to be my go to app for local national news because stories were presented in a pretty straightforward way Now news is buried under click bait and other junk Its simply no longer a usable news app If I want trending items and oddities I have other places for that I wont be using this anymore unless major changes are made Terrible update
Old version flowed so much better So much easier to use and follow I find myself turning to alternative apps for local news Wmtw
Its way too busy Old format was much easier to navigate Change it back Dislike new version
I really dislike this new format WMTW has been my goto news source up to now but Im actively seeking an alternative Bring back something like the old format or I am gone Update Stinks
Does not rotate Update
The older version while dated was way easier to navigate and the content was communicated much more clearly and simply was totally adequate and functional This update is prettier but just isnt easy to understand And WAY WAY too much video vs written content Pretty close to deleting Causes frustration Meh older version was much better
Sorry Unless this feature is enabled I wont use it My iPad is always in landscape mode when viewing on my desk Not sure if this was sent before so Ill send it again Can not view in landscape mode on my iPad
Difficult to navigate Not user friendly Bring back the old version or fix this one Latest update ruined usability
I used to check this app several times a day It was easy to see the available stories click on them to view and then go on to the next The update has made the app more bland and unattractive and the stories are more difficult to find Unfortunate Update
The latest update has made it nearly impossible to actually view news Old app was much better
I hate the new format it is hard to use The old format seemed to be up to date all the time where this one lags I find it hard to follow and never use it now Please go back to the old format New format is hard to use
This new version is awful The previous version was very user friendly the weather section was great I could access forecasts alerts radar easily and quickly I have switched to another Portland news channel app after using WMTWs since it started Very disappointing Bring back the old version please
The new version is terrible This version wont even orient the screen with the way the IPad is being held Fran
I miss being able to go story to story reading the local or national news without constantly having to go back to the main screen I check the weather on Channel 8 daily and this version is much less friendly for that also I seem to have to scroll forever to find what I want Like the old version better
I always go to channel 8 for my news but the latest update on the app is not user friendly I wish I didnt update it I know find myself using another stations app Please bring back the old version Poor update
This is so much harder to read and wont turn on the iPad Please make some readerfriendly changes I am about ready to delete the app and use another station Wish I hadnt
Please change the layout of the new update back Not using the app anymore its to confusing Bring the old app back please
Big fan of channel 8 but not so much the latest update Love checking the weather to help make sure my child is prepared and dressed appropriately for the day This version isnt as easy I enjoyed the quick few taps rather than the scrolling Will still rely on but missing the old version Not the biggest fan
The old layout was easy to scan and use and there was more of a focus on local stories This new layout has too much of a focus on video and nonlocal partner content Please bring back the old app In the mean time I am switching to the WCSH6 app Not that great
I liked the old format better Much easier to quickly scan and navigate but my biggest issue is that you cant view in landscape on iPad anymore I always use my iPad in this position so will not use this app anymore Will now need to use another news app Ms
This app is not iPad friendly Bring back the previous app
Ch 8 should stick to local news Much of this app is about national stories Ch 8 does a great job covering weekend events How about more of that Need local news not national
At first I found it difficult to navigate Then trying again I played with it for a while and learn to love it Gets easier
I read the news on multiple sites every morning Each site has changed format and I hate it Very hard to navigate through material Not happy with change
The older version was so much better and a lot easy to find breaking news The weather part also has changed Please bring back the old app Old version back please
This app is a step backwards Awful
This reworked app is not user friendly The old version had local news on the first page and each story was easily accessible Now it seems that all the national and local stories are not easy to find I used to access this app at least 12 times each day Now it is more like once a week if that I will probably just delete the app in the next few days Too bad Old app was much better Like the old app better
Hard to navigate cant find many stories bring back the old format Until then Im using WCSH6 Horrible new layout
I love WMTW news and loved the app However this update isnt user friendly It feels very scattered when looking for news stories and it still lists old stories from days ago along with new stories so at times its misleading Def not happy with this update Not a great app
This app is complete junk It is embarrassing that an otherwise credible and respected news station would permit it to be used It does nothing but pour deceptive and misleading advertising all over you until you feel like you need a shower Somewhere in that digital sewage they hide bits of news stories Good luck finding the pieces and assembling the whole story The navigation is a joke There is none All you can do is scroll and scroll through ads most of which take you out of the app to the ad website whether you want to go or not I have stopped using Channel 8 entirely for Maine news Too bad because the previous app was great fast and convenient Nobel Prize for Worst App Ever
The old app was easy to navigate Too much page changing on the new app confusing to navigate New app
Ive been using the WMTW app since it first came out and I have seen and adjusted to several updates but this latest one is AWEFUL It is not user friendly at all and what once took a few minutes is now painfully slow Please bring back the old or find someone with more time to use the new app Hate it What were you THINKING
The old app much better You should bring it back I hate the new app New app
Please bring back old version The current hard to navigate cumbersome If improvements are not made soon it will be deleted Not a improvement
This new update is awful Dont update I cant believe I cant get my old version back Junk
I love WMTW but hate the new format Its a pain to find the weather I go elsewhere now and I prefer the previous quick list of news items to click on whatever for more details Please reconsider the old system K New format
I dont mind the fact that the navigation is different than the old version I hope I never get so old that change irritates me I do however take exception that this new version is a profile only view and seems not to work in landscape view Hey folks have you ever seen an iPad stand They are all landscape What are you going to start to transmit over the air in profile only too Im heading to Channel 6 This is not an app for the iPad
New layout is not viewer friendly I do regret updating the app New version
Old version was better organized News stories blend together and Im overwhelmed by the long list of headlines sometimes repeating itself Information is confusing
An absolute disaster of an update Seriously Great update if you enjoy migraines
Great coverage and notifications on all important news events Best news app in Maine by far
Cant find anything Liked to scan list of stories and read those of interest Going to change to a different news channel due to this Dont like updated format
This is the worst update I have ever seen Take notice WMTW Bring back the old ap Hate to the max
One star is generous The old app was my go to app to keep up on Maine news while away Not anymore It was much much better before the update Disappointed I want the old app back
Like it the way it was before Dont go on as much now Dislike update
Hate hate hate the new version hardly ever go here unless I have to know something desperatelywhich is never anymore Worst update
If youre watching on an iPad it doesnt rotate to landscape Please fix and I will give it more stars It doesnt rotate
Bring back the old app It was my goto for local news Deleting it Annoying
It doesnt make any sense to update to a worse product Super poor design Someone obviously slammed this together quickly Its a shame the other format was at least usable Awful
