User reviews

NBC News has greatly improved. The News Now feature is now working properly, with the landscape mode fixed. The only things bothering me are the fonts in the news cards & articles, which are too small to read. It would be nice to have the option to change the fonts. Doesn't allow screenshots which I don't like because you could screenshot an issue then forward that issue to support for feedback. Please keep updating and enhancing for an even better design experience.

A great way to get the news! It includes NBC Nightly News, and they finally fixed most of the problems with the NBC Nightly News full broadcast. It still has some glitches, and it has a tendency to play the same segments over and over again rather than seamlessly transition to something reasonable like live news or a different show. But overall, a pretty good app that works well on a TV.

August 2018 update. Ruined app. Now difficult to navigate. More videos is not a good idea, especially when there is no text to go with it. October 2023 update. Tried again. App is now worse. Once a video plays, the video component continues to run in the background even if the app is closed.
