Why is there no way to select or streamline the notifications. Notification Settings takes you to the phone settings to turn notifications on or off. There's is no way to reduce the breaking news notifications and every notification they send is not Breaking News. it's just a way for the app to remind you that it's there. I will keep searching and uninstall this one

Since I don't get radio or TV news, I rely on the NBC app for news. It was fine until they started charging for some of it. It is aggravating to click on an article and find it's being withheld from me unless I'm willing to pay for it. Also, the overuse of AI has really degraded the quality of writing, sometimes creating confusing and incorrect comments. I think news should be free and proofed by an educated human before it's posted. I also find your ad popups on par with cheap online games.

I loved this app when I first downloaded it, but now almost all the content requires a subscription, which I refuse to do. News should be free because it's necessary for daily life and, in some cases, personal safety. Shame on you NBC!! I'll be deleting your app and finding one that doesn't charge me!
