NBC 5 Chicago: News & Weather for Negative User Reviews

✓ Unnecessary notificationsWhy does your app notifications leave us “biting our nails” for the news, while other news apps give us enough information via the Notification Center to get by? So much unnecessary. I don’t have to click into your notification for updates when another app gives the exact “nail biting” update right beneath you in my Notification Center, with more information. Which app do you think gets more praise? You guessed it. That’s why you get 2 ⭐️’s..IbsweissVersion: 7.0.4

✓ Who the heck remodeled this app!?Some computer nut just revamped this app and it’s horrible. You used to be able to find articles easily. There used to be a number in a red dot outside the app to let you know how many alerts there were. All you had to do is open the app and touch the little bell that had the red dot on it and it pulled up all the new stories. Now I have this huge number on the outside of the app but when I open it there is nothing that indicates new stories. I can’t get rid of the number. Please fire the idiot that remodeled the NBC 5 app and bring back the old one..Suzie47Version: 7.0.4

✓ Weather Videos - Tell Me More...Wishing the videos that were uploaded to the app were the actual forecasts from the news broadcast. Just take Brant’s forecast from the 5:00 news or the 10:00 news and put that up on the app - keep uploading the latest and greatest. The version he records for the app is never at complete as the one he does for the actual broadcast. Also, it’s unfortunate that you don’t give any dewpoint info on the app - just inferior relative humidity info. Please update that. Dewpoint is so much more helpful. Thx.ChicagoAVersion: 6.7

✓ I liked the weather option.Within the last few days, the weather option does not work. It has worked for years, and I used this app more often than the Weather Channel. Now it says no chart available. Sometimes it will give me weather for another town that I have programmed in, but, when I ask for my town, it continues to give me the previous town’s information. I have been forced to use the Weather Channel. I deleted the app, then reloaded it from the App Store, and it still says no chart available..WilmaphillipsVersion: 7.1

✓ New nbc 5 appThis morning a pop up asked to allow or not allow tracking, and ever since then the app doesn’t work like it used to. I deleted it and then reinstalled but it still is not working right. Cannot scroll the news and also cannot switch between news and weather without going out and reloading. Help. I like this app especially for the weather and want it to work like before..8135629Version: 6.18

✓ Mixed thoughtsI’m trying to like the weather part but it has some real issues. For example when I look at the 5 day forecast at the same time I’m watching the 5 day forecast on the tv broadcast they are not the same! Brant keeps saying you see exactly the same on the app - NOT. The real-time radar seems to lack behind live tv by about 10-15 minutes when watching both at the same time. Right now the DAILY forecast (June 6) says a high of 84 but the HOURLY forecast never gets beyond 77. Very inconsistent. Which is correct? So I’m not sure what’s going on here. It seems that the radar and forecast feeds are different for the live tv and this app. In fact when you zoom way out on the radar you can find different radar sites across the country. That leads me to believe it is some sort of national data feed and not Chicago specific. Certainly not what the nbc 5 weather team is saying..LsdfghklpoytesVersion: 6.11

✓ NBC NEWS APP REVIEWI like to be informed daily of the local, national, and international news. The news stories are interesting and informative. However, I do wish there would be more positive happy stories told leaving the public the network serves ending the news at the end of the day on a positive note. The magic of the holidays during that special time of year should be felt in the news throughout the year. I have spoken to several Family members and friends who rarely watch the news anymore, because of daily violence, negative politics, taking the place of real life heartwarming stories. So when we tuck our children in bed every night after reading a feel good story, we say “Pleasant dreams.” Shouldn’t the adults have the same happy positive dreams at the close of their day every night when they sleep? I would like to believe that could be true. Pleasant stories! Pleasant dreams to all and good night..Mrs. HopefulVersion: 5.6.6

✓ Happy with most of itI look at the low temperature for the day a lot because I work and do other things outside. A lot of times the low for the day will say something like 28 degrees. But when I get up at 4:30 it is actually 19 degrees out, and the app still says 28 degrees for the low. Sometimes I have to plan ahead for the Westland it is just a little frustrating when I’m getting mixed signals on the temperature. Other than that I use the app a lot and love the interactive weather map, it is awesome to have..C upchurchVersion: 6.9.2

✓ Update seems like a downgrade...So...I used to love this app. However some recent changes have made for some annoying glitches. Several stories will not scroll up, leaving me unable to finish the article. The new ad format is aggressively large and often in middle of article. Sometimes I scroll up and it goes directly to ad or sponsored story content. It’s becoming a hassle just to read an article! I used to love this app, and I’m hopeful next update will solve the problems. Other than that story content is good, yet sometimes repetitive. It is very up to date, informative (when you can read the full article), and interactive. I really enjoy the interactive ness of several articles, most recently being able to type in your hometown and pull down the wildfires out west and being able to visualize what that would look like in your community..Not.CourtneyB.up.in.NYCVersion: 6.14

✓ Can’t get back to weatherI have no issues with the formatting and color theme changes but if I don’t close out of the app, when I go back into it I can’t get to the weather. The bottom toolbar is gone and I am stuck on news. I then have to close and reopen the app to get weather access. Also old version used to save my news or weather preference when opening and the new one defaults to news..Anono12Version: 7.0.4
