WECT 6 Where News Comes First Reviews

by Beach Girl 8

It keeps crashing and I can’t open WECT6WhereNewsComesFirst at all. Need a new update fast.
Plus the ads are annoying. If you are putting out a alert. It shouldn't take me an ad then I have to search for the alert.
The old version was fine and never had a problem.

WECT6 is contributing to the destruction of our country. My household stands on Christian beliefs and I find it heartbreaking so many people are lost, and WECT6 is endorsing the lost. I hope our paths cross because I will give you some Great News, some TRUTH, but as for WECT6, my household will not be listening to their fake news. We are deleting all apps and will not be tuning in!

Everything was fine for years then this new version was released. Nothing but forced advertising before you can read a news story. The advertising is usually videos that you must watch before you can read a news story. Also, when you get a breaking news notification it no longer takes you directly to the breaking news story in WECT6WhereNewsComesFirst . Rather, it lands you on the home screen then you must figure out which menus to drill down to get the news story. This new version has absolutely ruined the user experience to the point that it is just unusable. Complete garbage. I now solely use the WWAY app for my local news.

Installed mainly for the picture uploading, but you have to register, which I did, got confirmation that I was registered. But it won’t let me sign in. Uninstalled. UPDATE- Gave it another shot, tried to reset password. It sent the reset link in the email, but that didn’t take me anywhere that I could change it. When I clicked on the contact us link, it errored out saying WECT6WhereNewsComesFirst could t send emails. WECT6WhereNewsComesFirst is garbage.

So WECT6WhereNewsComesFirst has been great until the latest redesign of it. App has tendency to fail to load/open and just spins. Have to close and reopen which is a pain. No clear way to contact support to report this issue to get fixed.

When I get a notification on WECT6WhereNewsComesFirst (Apple) I tap on WECT6WhereNewsComesFirst , which then goes to the main screen. Then then there is nowhere there to go to read the notifications. When I finally figure where to go then there are no notifications listed.

I don’t like the updated app look. I liked the look and navigation of the previous version better, jumping right into your news stories. The new version is clunky and takes too long to navigate where you need to get.

There have been too many errors with reporting and especially true of the last 3 months. The writing always has grammar and vocabulary errors.

I’m from Wallace ... but have you ever noticed that Duplin county is rarely included in any news, weather, maps, etc? WECT focuses on New Hanover, Pender, Columbus, Brunswick & Bladen counties. Wallace is a 35 mile drive into Wilmington. It would be nice to know we folks here in Duplin were recognized as valuable viewers as channel 6 news and weather are watched most prolifically in the Wallace area, and not to mention most of us in south Duplin shop in New Hanover county - ALWAYS have. I’ve always felt I was a part of the greater Wilmington area but feel we are not considered a part of you guys. How about taking notice of us? As a matter of fact, New Bern, Little Washington and Greenville leave us out too, but these areas are not as close as Wilmington ... New Bern does end its weather map at Kenansville but still get little reference to us - WECT does not show us on your map. Ha! Not funny!

1) When I mirror to my Apple TV, WECT6WhereNewsComesFirst isn’t set up to keep your phone from sleeping, so you have to touch the screen every now and then to keep it from crashing.
2) The stream sometimes gets stuck in a loop of about 10 minutes of news
3) The ads sometimes have no sound or half sound (no voices in ads), which I guess I don’t mind
4) Been showing as “off air” during live broadcast times lately

I always watch your station. I’ve always had an app on your station. The last update what is absolutely terrible because there’s more advertisements then there is news

I read the WECT news app every day to stay apprised of happenings in the Wilmington area. However, it seems the web site is not updated in a timely fashion and does not keep abreast of news updates. I find myself reading the same news on your web site that I read the previous day. I would suggest that more timely updates be applied to your web site to stay current with activities in the Wilmington area. Thank you.

Having the news alerts is great, but WECT6WhereNewsComesFirst is a little buggy. For instance, if I click on a notification, WECT6WhereNewsComesFirst won’t work if my phone is turned sideways.

I find the new layout to be a jumble of huge and small pictures, different layouts popping up during the same viewing session, articles out of order i.e. latest news toward the bottom as you scroll. Like reading a newspaper that's come apart in the wind!

Love WECT6WhereNewsComesFirst since its always a good time for the news to slap you in the face.

WECT News is always super professional yet personal. In fact, I feel they are all good friends of mine simply because I spend time with them (by watching their broadcasts) every day!

I’ll be honest I actually downloaded WECT6WhereNewsComesFirst as a joke, but now I love it! Very informative, and not NEARLY as cringy as the actual WECT broadcast! Sorry guys but it’s true (still love y’all though!)

New Update crashes before even opening.. have reinstalled cut phone on and off. However not shocked it’s a microcosm of WECT.. they can’t even report the news correctly 75% of time why would you think they would get this right.

The annoying music in the background is making it hard to hear what the meteorologist saying. Is that supposed to be enhancing something? It is not working.

by Skibby Monster

So I get notifications but when I click on a story I want to view it takes me to the main page not the story I want or it just takes me to a black screen that never loads. App needs work.
