Content fairly good, but glitches since last update
Emerson_C
I just updated the app last night to MS NOW”, and so I’m not completely familiar with the changes from the old, MSNBC app. But one change that I have noted is an especially unfortunate one. It used to be easy to share videos with others, simply by clicking on the share button that appeared on just about all the videos. And now it’s missing. I hope this is just an oversight and will be corrected soon. Other glitches: it used to be fairly simple to switch from portrait to landscape view. Now the app seems to be set up to primarily watch in portrait view, which is much less convenient when watching on the tablet. They also don’t seem to have their “update” times figured it out. When I looked at it this morning, many videos were shown to have been last updated one hour ago, even though many of them were posted last night or earlier. Other than these complaints, which I don’t consider minor, the app has generally been a pretty good one. Gives the ability to watch segments of of broadcasts for many of the top people at MSNOW/MSNBC. (Note: I assume anyone reading this review already knows that this network has a decided liberal bias. I personally am a moderate and prefer news from reporters without a bias. But I like to get a wide range of perspectives in my news intake. And I respect the work of several of the MSNOW/MS NBC reporters, tho not all.)
Difficult time for me
CMSBURTON
I am a 77 years old widow living on Social Security. Keeping up with all that’s happening in our country is not easy. Especially since moving to Alabama 8 years ago. I was born and raised in Denver , and spent most of my adult life in New Mexico. Moving here from Santa Fe was like moving to another country. Because of age , health conditions, and family pressure, my late husband and I ended up in Phenix City AL. I am unable to drive, and know few people. Politics is something one is not supposed to talk about here. Right now my contribution to “our fight” consists of weekly contributions to Doug Jones campaign, Act Blue monthly to Alabama Democrats, and Act Blue for?. What can I say? Except that I , daily get more requests for $$$! At least when I connect with your network, I can see what more needs to be done, and why it needs to be done now! I just wish I didn’t feel like I was expected to do it all myself. If my Republican son knew how much I contribute to Democrats, he would not be happy, Please continue giving us all the information we need, but maybe someone should consider how much you are expecting from people who have little to give. We are trying, but can’t do it alone.
Great app. Most of the time

I have really enjoyed this app on my iPad and iPhone for the past eight years since I got introduced to the Rachel Maddow show. The app works perfectly fine most of the time. As of late it’s been hard to start and Paul’s a show but hopefully technical support can get those bags word out. on another note the main thing I’m very sad about is that Rachael Maddow has went to one day a week, her show is only on Monday nights. Rachael Maddow was rated number one for many years in a row and I cannot understand is it today why they pulled her back to one day a week, I feel that this is a big mistake and that MSNBC is going to regret in the coming months as they notice ratings dropping dramatically in the 9 PM airtime slot due to Rachael‘s departure Tuesday through Friday, I sincerely wish that MSNBC and Rachel could re-negotiate her contract and at least have Rachel on maybe two or three nights a week and then Alex Wagner‘s new show the remaining nights, and I think your ratings will do much better with a more even mix of the two programs, Have own air the Rachel Meadows show on Monday and Tuesday evenings in the 9 PM timeslot as usual and then have on Alex Wagner‘s new show …….. Alex Wagner tonight on Wednesday Thursday and Friday!! I hope the producersavid N read these comments and Watch how the ratings go this fall and reconsider bringing Rachael back at least two nights a week because she is absolutely the best in TV journalism and I think that the ratings will show that this fall…. Just my take on MSNBC’S programming for the fall lineup…..David N.
Can’t update app
Ms. Ette
Update - February 4, 2022 I trust I’m not the only one with this problem. I can’t update the MSNBC app because I have an iPad mini2 with 12.5 and Apple won’t let the mini update to 13. The App Store won’t let me update the MSNBC app or let me keep option for my current MSNBC app. Please add an X or Later option to pop up on MSNBC app - that is in center of screen. It won’t move, I can’t do/see anything. I want to watch Live. I can’t do it because the pop up is holding me hostage. Please fix this problem. I really prefer MSNBC over CNN. Please....!?***Yesterday I watched MSNBC on my iPad mini2 all day without a problem. Today I get an update message. I try to update app at the store and get a message I can’t update because I need iOS 13+ (I have 12.5). Ok I get it. But my iPad tells me it’s up to date. The MSNBC app in store tells me I can download an earlier version of MSNBC app - ok good. But when I click download nothing happens. Perhaps I have the appropriate app already on my iPad. I have 2 complaints: 1. Fix the app page so we who have an older iPad can still watch MSNBC (instead of having to switch to CNN for life (which I updated without a problem). 2. When I open MSNBC app on my iPad and get the pop up message to update, I can’t close it - it only goes to update store. Please fix pop up message to include: a. An X to close it or b. The word ‘Later’ to update at a convenient time. Now, I can’t watch MSNBC on my iPad because the pop up is holding us hostage and wants something I can’t give it. Alas, switching over to CNN now.
