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

Horrible app that requires you to look at pop-ups and videos pop up in the middle of articles too. Deleted this piece of garbage.!

This app was great till earlier this year they made it pretty much subscribers only. NBC universal doesn’t make enough money to provide you with the news anymore 🙄
