User Reviews

Most reviews criticize NBC News for moving to a paywall that locks many articles, generating subscription fatigue. Ads disrupt reading, and access to live programming/schedules has degraded the experience. Users report UX glitches (scrolling jumps, music stopping) and question trust due to perceived bias. A minority praise include fast performance, a clean layout, and an ad-free option for streams. Overall, the paywall and UX problems overshadow positive layout and brand familiarity.

Pros

Fast performance with a quick, well-organized layout.
Ad-free live streams and better experience when opting for the no-ads subscription.
Trusted NBC News brand and familiar interface that users recognize.

Cons

Paywalls and subscription fatigue: most content is behind a paywall, with users feeling they must pay for what used to be free.
Intrusive and sometimes misleading ads: ad clutter disrupts reading and even slows navigation.
Loss of access to live programming and lack of clear live schedules without subscribing.
UX and reliability issues: frequent updates degrade experience, articles jumping back to the top, and features like music playback stopping on open.
Perceived bias or erosion of trust: some reviews express concern about propaganda and reliability.

Recent reviews

NBC News app used to be informative. Now you must be a Subscriber to read most content, sending me elsewhere to read the news

by CE*****, 2026-08-04

Had this app for years. I noticed a few months ago more stories had a subscriber only tag. Ok, no big deal, most stories were still free. Now the app is easily 85% subscriber only, with just a few free stories sprinkled in. I’m not paying to read content I can view on my TV. Epic fail NBC. Time for a new news app.
