NBC Connecticut News & Weather 12+

I’ve had this application for quite awhile now and enjoy receiving each and every notification!! I stay current with the news mainly because of this app!! I get notifications for weather, breaking news, amber alerts basically everything. I did however give it 4 stars instead of five because I have on many occasions written to them concerning accidents that have JUST took place I’ve written about a fire and even when TD bank had just been robbed and no one has EVER REPLIED they could’ve gotten breaking stories but chose to ignore!! Other than that I enjoy this app!!!

You would think that when your done reading a story the ones at the bottom would be other news updates on other stories or what you have missed. Well, I guess they are stories I could have missed, because I’m constantly reading stories that can date back two years. You might not think that’s a big deal if your just reading by yourself and you came across it, but when you read about a deadly traffic crash that shut down the part of the highway that your family drives through and you call them to avoid the area, and they don’t know what I’m talking about because the story was from last year. Or when I’m prepping my vehicle and supplies because there’s an incoming snowstorm “tomorrow morning” that can drop as much as 14”, and when I’m all bundled up in the dark ready to walk out the door there’s not a flake on site nor has anything dropped because the weather report was from 18 months ago. I guess the morale of the story is don’t be curious it will just waste your time

I don’t allow many apps to send me notifications, however; this app I love getting notifications. I am and extremely busy person and I do not have enough time to try and find time to watch the news. This app sends me little summaries when stories are occurring locally, nationally and world wide as they are unfolding. I can choose to learn more or ignore it depending on my level of interest. The weather is by far my favorite part of this app. NBCs Bob Maxon is my morning go to guy while I’m getting ready for work and what to wear according to the forecast and in comparison NBC is always the most accurate. I also get weather alert notifications. Example: “lighting strikes reported .02 miles of your current location” is an alert I received today among many others leading up to and during a severe storm we were having. Over all I’m very satisfied and would highly recommend it!
