Helps keep us up to date on weather and news! Need hard news!
Great for checking news and weather quickly. Great tv anchors and weather people, they seem like real people. Could have more international news, we are not in a bubble in the United States, but trying to be in one gets us nowhere. We need the cold hard truth about our messed up world and how what we do impacts the rest of the world. Things, such as we need our immigrants to help our economy with so many seniors here and not enough young people to keep us going. Every night, someone should be tough about our environmental status. I am old an on my way out, what happens to the children and not just the ones here!

Video lagged (when app finally opened!)
First, when I searched for “news” on my iPhone the NBC app didn’t even appear as a suggestion. CBS and other news apps did. Then, after I typed “NBC” in my phone’s search bar, I opened the app and saw “watch live.” However, when I clicked on that button it took me to the App Store to download the app. But since it’s already downloaded, the button said “open.” However when I clicked “open” in the App Store it brought me to another page with a picture of Jimmy Fallon on an iPad, and an image of an iPhone along with yet another “open” button- that did not work! It was all so confusing that I don’t even remember how I finally got to the live stream. But here’s what happened then. Two commercials preceded the live stream, which is annoying in itself. The first ad ran fine but the second one seemed slow. Then finally, the live stream came on and it was a story that I wanted to hear. Except, that wasn’t going to happen. The sound lagged and cutout the whole time. I caught the gist of the story but that’s all. It was frustrating to say the least. I even closed the app and reloaded it only to have the same thing happen again. It’s a shame because I like NBC10 in the morning. It’s my favorite station to watch. I enjoy getting informed by Vy, Tracy, Bill, and Jessica. It starts my day. And it just would have been nice this morning to watch on my phone and not wake anyone up (who might not have gotten a good night’s sleep last night). Instead, I’m quietly writing this review about my disappointment.

Annoying issues and glitches continued
Updated to add that the app has become unusable. Opening a story works, however, up-down scrolling ceases to function so only a piece of the article is visible. Your only options at that point is to swipe for the next article or go back to the main stories page. There’s an annoying section “most popular” news. It wouldn’t be annoying if their technology filtered the stories to ensure what showed up on the front page of a feed was “most popular within the past month” or “recently most popular”. Nope. Instead, stories from 2, 5 and even 10 years ago show up. You have no idea that the headline is that old until you click into the article. Annoying. They’ve finally fixed a number of the glitches that had existed for years. There’s still one where you lose the ability to scroll a story. This seems to be related to embedded video and advertising. The only option to read the article is to swipe out, back to the beginning and try your luck again.
