NBC Bay Area: News & Weather for Negative User Reviews

✓ The advertising is AWFUL and abusiveBefore RVERY news clip you have to watch a 30+ second ad. EVERY CLIP! That means in 5 minutes or less if need, you will see at least 10 clips. Even when the news clip is shorter than the ad! And it is usually the same ad over and over. Even when I tried to send feedback on this in the app, the app scrolls the bottom of the screen to an ad while you are typing your comment. There are many other news apps. I suggest passing on this one until they show some respect to the user..MJ HavocVersion: 6.9.1

✓ Stop with the rain notifications!I think it’s a decent app for news (both national and Bay Area specific). My complaint is the weather/rain notifications, that seem to get triggered by location services. On my commute to work this morning I had about 12 “moderate rain detected”... pretty obnoxious. Figure out a way to fix this and I’ll give it 5 stars!.Dat Dude 85Version: 5.7.1

✓ Bad designI am subtracting two stars. Both for annoying navigation problems. When I open the app to see a weather alert, I can never exit out of the weather page. There is no easy link back to the home page. That’s an app 101 first rule of design. Easy navigation. The app also tends to not navigate to the alert when I click the alert and see the article. Instead, it puts me to the main article rather than the alert. The problem here is, the behavior never acknowledges the alert has been seen, making the number of alerts seen on the icon pointless..DsatowVersion: 7.3.2

✓ New design sacrifices usability for white spaceHorrible changes to the aesthetics. Tons of white space, tiny and light colored font. Obviously designed and tested on the 20 something set and not for the aging eyes over 40. Local news link is buried. Far less user friendly. I use the app everyday and now have to wear glasses to read the weather section. Hour by hour future temp trend reduced. Next days weather is less apparent. Very disappointed..PeachypinnapleVersion: 7.0.4

✓ ClickbaitThe local news provided here is timely and informative, but what’s with the clickbait “articles” following the actual articles? This is a news app! The stories following the news articles should be other news and information, not internet trash. If you need revenue, go with ads from reputable companies. Using clickbait makes the whole thing seem shady and unreliable. Weather is often inaccurate for Mill Valley area..KareMMVersion: 7.1

✓ Um 😕It’s ok, but searching is prohibitively difficult- a search for “togo cocktail bill” couldn’t find a story called “to-go cocktails will stick around” also the livestream looks for wifi unsuccessfully even though the rest of the app is functioning on lte/5g, but worst of all the app shuts off if I navigate away and loses where I was. Whoever idea THAT was is just adding to perception that all media companies are eyeball greedy to the exclusion of any concern for user experience. What could be a help is just another “improvement” that screws the loyal viewers- NO THANKS.Clever BastardVersion: 7.8.1

✓ Utterly UselessIf you want to want a live broadcast, as I often do since I left the Bay Area, the app demands your location. As soon as you allow it to use your location, it only shows you NBÇ affiliate news from a local channel, like whatever BFE town you happen to be in. If I installed a Bay Area NBC news app, I expect to see Bay Area news only, when I choose the live stream! Stop using my location to choose local stations when I’m not in the Bay Area! That isn’t a feature IT’S A FLAW!!!.Patman300Version: 6.10.3

✓ Exactly what i needThis app is exactly what I needed a quick way to get the local news. Its not the app I have issues with but the news.. sometimes i feel like it has not been updated and I still see the news that i had already read the previous day..NayabachaVersion: 6.5

✓ NBC Bay Area should "We investigate this app”I am blown away how much their news team programs hypes this app and it is just horrible. Such a surprise for a quality news broadcast team. Their investigative reporters should examine why this terrible app made it into the app store. Landscape video issues and the inability to even play video in background it’s very poor. Everywhere you look in the app is riddled with strange design decision and just buggy behavior. They should pull it. It's embarrassing for a local Silicon Valley broadcaster to have an app like this..Swan SongVersion: 7.1

✓ News not Program InfoI can only give this app a 2 star rating. The news itself is great. And the app, while a bit laggy and clunky at times, is better than what you’d expect for a local news app. However, the real reason for the low rating is that there is no way to turn off the program alerts. Sending me breaking news alerts is fine and exactly what I signed up for. But pushing an alert for figure skating finals or for the live version of some ridiculous holiday movie is VERY ANNOYING! Please consider changing this..JsnypVersion: 5.7.1

✓ HATE the updated NEWS formatUpdate: First they change the weather layout, which predominantly focuses on the radar map and now they reformatted the news page, which is HORRIBLE!! I’ve used this app daily to just touch base on local news, but the new layout completely ruins it. Very disappointing & now doubtful I’ll be using it going forward..Diamond*GirlVersion: 7.0.4

✓ Great app! Few suggestions, though.Overall, this app does what it’s meant to do. I took stars off because I wish there were more options when it comes to push notifications. I love push notifications for news, but do not care for certain things like sports and politics. It spams my phone and Fitbit with news I do not want on push notifications. Also, you have to watch an ad for every video. There’s already ads on every article that makes it look like a click bait website. For these reasons, I only give 2 stars..SherbetShanVersion: 6.9.2
