PLEASE add a search function
It’s a nice way to get news and it’s free. But there NEEDS to be a way to search for articles. I frequently will have clicked on a notification to read an article and some problem causes me to go back to the home page of the app (sometimes I didn’t finish reading the article before spending an extended period of time with the app minimized, or sometimes when I click a notification it doesn’t actually take me to the article) but if the article isn’t on the home page and I don’t know where to find it in the explore tab, there’s no way for me to get back to it. This is less pressing, but it would also be nice if clicking links inside an article that lead to another NBC article would open up that article inside the app rather than in my browser.

One current big issue
For the many years I have used this app it has been for the most part nothing but exceptional, until now. Currently, and for at least the last couple weeks or so, the Latest News section under Discover does not update the recent news stories as it should when they are released. It does end up updating the list but over a much longer period of time. Currently I’m waiting for new articles to populate but the most recent one in the section is from 4 hours ago and I know from visiting the website multiple articles have been pushed in that 4 hour period. I will note that before clicking on Latest Stories, the section underneath the header displaying the most recent article is always up to date with the most recent article, however that does not help with the others that are hiding behind that. I’ve waited to review to see if issue would resolve soon but frustration finally has overcome. Please fix soon! Also I have deleted and reinstalled app but to no avail it is the same. I do have other ways to access said articles outside the app but I eagerly wait the convenience to not have to do so.

App is okay, content is trash
The app works okay, with frequent scrolling issues, resetting, pictures failing to load and other glitches, it’s earned about 3 stars… The content, on the other hand, is trash. I keep the app to see what NBC is saying is the “news” and how they frame it, which is typically very biased and skewed. Please understand what you’re getting when you read this. The articles will always present you with one side, written from one point of view, and never include any contrary voices. Additionally, they pick only the articles they want you to view, of course. Their prerogative, of course, and your choice to read or not. Thanks for reading this review! Take care!
