Too many ads
LtFred
Room many ads. Hard to get to the articles - ads get in the way. Articles Not kept current
Ridiculous amount of ads!

This used to be a very good app years ago and a very handy one too. There used to be no ads at all except for a small banner at the bottom of the screen and the content/news used to be relevant too. Now you have ads clogging up the whole app that show up nearly every other article in the news section and sometimes even pop up when you first open the app as well forcing you to go through the ad just to get to the news. On top of that, news articles are often not relevant anymore, there are less of them, they are not updated very often (only about the first 3 news articles change frequently) and then there are often typos and various other misspelling as if the people writing those articles can't even be bothered to proof read the garbage they are posting. I'm. I used to regularly read this app but am not a fan anymore. Mainly only use it for the occasional weather report now but mostly I use the Weather Channel app for that now and use Google Maps for traffic.
Cluttered into Uselessness

Terrible upgrade took a simple easy to use app into the cluttered world of uselessness. Just purged from all my devices.
Not an improvement

The previous version was much more user-friendly. This one definitely is not. Too many ads, for one. And two, almost impossible to get out of an ad once you're stuck in it, At least that has been my experience. Overall no improvement altogether.
More is NOT Always Better

I've used the NBC4i app for years to review the news on weekend mornings along with an app from another local news station. Until this latest update release. This new format attempts to place entirely too much information on a single page; even on an iPad it's overwhelming and distracting. The design is reminiscent of some of the worst web pages from the 90's that appeared as if someone threw up snippets of information on to a page. I'm sorry, but if I open up a news app I expect to easily view the news headlines for the day. If I want to see weather, I'll navigate to the weather section. If I want to read about sports scores, I'll navigate to a sports section. I don't want to spend my time scanning over multiple categories of information to view the headlines for the day. I'll be unloading this app in favor of the more focused and simplified interface of the app from the other local news station.
Please revert back.
hhddddd
I use this app several times a day. The new version as of December 2015 is not as user-friendly as it used to be. Also, the traffic map quality seems to have declined. It was amazing previously. Please revert back to the app as it was!
Lots of Pop-Up Ads, Little News

This app was my main source for local news before the last update. Now there are so many irritating pop-ups that the app is no longer worth having.
