2 ★ Weather section does not work on Android phones. You cannot change your location because the search button is off the screen. Have to rely on GPS location so can't look up forecasts in other parts of the state. Tried to turn my phone to get a wide screen option but app will not change screen layout.

1 ★ Horrible!!!! Was under a tornado warning it never alerted me!!!!! As of 01/02/23 had to goto the weather channel app to find out what's going on. Of course this isn't the first time I've had issues with this app.!!! 🙄

2 ★ The app needs to be streamlined. The design is too busy. Ads mixed in with news stories aren't distinguishable. Confusing lay out.

1 ★ The app is slowing down my phone a lot of the time I can't watch the news because it freezes and I have force my phone down and it shows live news hours after it was live

4 ★ You cant have an old phone or IT DOESNT WORK IT SLOWS YOUR PHONE DOWN AND NOTHING WANTS TO LOAD. THATS WHEN ITS TIME TO GET EITHER AN I-PHONE OR A SAMSUNG GALAXY. U CANT EXPECT LOW BUDGET PHONES TO RUN THESE APPS. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE TYPES OF PHONES PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO DOWNLOAD THIS APP ON TO... YOU NEED A HALF WAY DECENT PHONE. ITS NOT GOING TO WORK ON A $50 PHONE

1 ★ not just the app is bad... this slows my phone and wastes battery because of all of the article updates. also- it isn't local Maine news most of the time

2 ★ Weather is never accurate and my job is based on weather. Be ideal to have an accurate weather reading.

5 ★ I use it to get news here in Maine.Also tells you national news 📰 too .And of course the weather! And some entertainment, sports.

1 ★ What happened?! I used to watch the news every morning on this app. But now there's only ads where the live stream button used to be!

5 ★ This is the best newscasting in Maine. They are informative and are also witty and fun. The anchors care about the communities they report on.

2 ★ Can't get the live news to cast to smart TV. Works for other apps.

1 ★ useless. radar doesn't open, video doesn't open. don't waste your time!

5 ★ This is a good app to have around daily. Lots of local news,

4 ★ Good news source, but I wish it were updated more frequently.

2 ★ 2 stars may be too high a score..... This, like all the local tv news apps, are absolutely useless on the weekends. Nothing gets updated from Friday night to Monday morning. You have reporters on staff all weekend....how about them doing their jobs to keep us informed?
