Glitch Glitch Glitch

Ken H in San Francisco, CA

The content of NBC News’ app might be of value, however one would be hard pressed to fully know. While the user peruses the headline stream, the app page will inadvertently jump to an alternate section, leaving the user … hanging. The user is then left to scroll and hunt for the original article, only to have the page once again jump to another section?!? At this point the user might simply close the NBC news app and open CNN or NPR or ABC News or CBS News or Politico or FOX News or Huff Post or The Hill or the Associated Press or any of the hundreds of other news App choices available without this ridiculous and wonky glitch.

The streaming is down a lot

I like the app, and when it works it’s great, I like to listen to the streaming simulcast at work. Seriously good app, but the msnbc streaming is down a lot. In fact for three days now whenever I try to listen I get the same error message. “Unable to load audio. We’re sorry there seems to be a network error. Check your network connection and try again.” It’s not my connection, there is nothing wrong with my connection. I can stream everything else from audio to movie streaming apps. And until three days ago I could stream msnbc through this app, even if it would go out frequently, it was usually only out for a few minutes. This time it’s been several days.

It says I have no cell phone or internet when I try to listen to MSNBC stream

I used this to listen to the MSNBC audio stream but now it tells me I have no internet or cell signal. All other parts of the app work fine, but not the MSNBC stream. I deleted it and downloaded it again hoping there would be a fix, but there wasn’t. Please fix this because MSNBC is the only reason I have this app on my phone.

If app doesn’t work on iPhone

I had a problem and I blamed the app.. I just deleted the app and reinstalled and it once more works perfect!!

Nice app but local news needs a fix

I installed app on November 8, 2021. Local NBC news has been stuck on that date ever since.

Home page continually jumps down page

A lover of well written news

I’m done with this app. As reported before, one cannot browse the headlines on an iPad without the app regularly jumping on its own to lower points on the Home Screen. If you read a story, it will return you to a random lower spot on the Home Screen when finished. No other app does this. I and others have reported this before but no action has been done to fix the bug. Goodbye NBC. It’s a shame as I like the reporting.

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.

Disappointment

Agaric2

This used to be a good app. Recently I found that when I tried to open the link to a news story, all I got was a black screen. This happens several times a day. When I sent a message to them about this I received a response to take a screen shot and forward it. But, a screen shot of what? A black screen? I asked but received no response. They don’t seem interested in fixing anything. This has been going on for a couple of weeks now. Too bad. I used to depend on this app.

Was once good, now mostly spams ads

Difficult to get news in any detail given the abundance of ads and soft content. Would benefit from a good editorial / technical team to better constrain the spam ads.

All articles open in Safari

Spunkymonkeys

Upon first launch the app is clean and streamlined, but every article opens in Safari. I can’t seem to get the articles to load in the app. What’s the point of an app if it can’t even load the content.
