NBC News: Breaking & US News 12+

Back to being a five star

If you’re on the fence about this app, look at how consistent the developers are at responding to each of our technical complaints. They addressed my issue. As far as ads go, it’s a free app offered by commercial network channel. Someone has to pay for it. I’d rather read, listen to, or watch ads while on the app than sacrifice my personal device’s autonomy when I’m off the app. Here’s my previous review: Was among my favorite news apps until today. They now force users to accept notifications. That’s ridiculous. Hate to see it go but it’s deleted now. I’ll revisit in the future - hoping they see the light. Because I will miss it. But not enough to accept nonsensical notifications.

NBC news is great, The app as well…except…

I see reviews here that are up to two years old that address my issues. NOTHING has been done to address the app’s “automatic refresh” boondoggle. This apparent “brain fart” of an idea is, in my opinion, screamingly frustrating! Literally every time I go to take in my daily diet of your news options on my iPad, I get automatically catapulted to an awfully rearranged menu. So many times I’ve been just about to make a selection and then “POOF” it’s gone! At which point I proceed to look for the item unsuccessfully and give up. I give up because of the other problem I have with it, “lousy search options”. Seriously??? This app is from the NBC that I’ve always loved and respected? As per usual, the content etc. are in line with how I’ve come to expect from you folks, top of the line. But these problems I’ve listed are what I’d expect from rank amateurs. (I’m not going into the bugs I’ve experienced, I don’t want to split hairs.) I love you guys. (Loved you better when news was a public service and not a corporate venture.) But even now you are the one I turn to. The best thing going. Please fix this weirdness? I think, by now the public knows how to push a “Refresh” button when THEY WANT.

Good app but needs fix

I really like this NBC news app. It’s just the right amount of news without the overwhelming and completely depressing, overblown, polarised information of other news apps. I want to be updated with the latest important news; not bludgeoned with gruesome murders, US vs YOU political crap and a TMI style of app reporting that complies a bunch of other nonsense making me feel that human beings are the worst idea ever created! That being said, I have a couple of technical issues; why does it jolt you off the section you are reading ( I assume more stories are being added? ) it is incredibly frustrating to be reading a headline and suddenly your 3 or 4 stories down and have to scroll back to what you were originally looking at. Also, while I love that the content is limited, which makes for a clear straight forward news feed, some of the stories at the bottom seem to never change, so really you end up reading just the upper portion...how about moving those older stories along. More stars when small issues are fixed😉 Thanks for doing the news right!
