User Reviews

Reviewers praise NBC Bay Area for timely local news and weather updates and reliable alerts, but repeatedly complain about notification spam, broken live video, post-update UI/UX regressions, intrusive ads, and lack of Apple TV support. Overall, strength lies in timely coverage and alerts, while pain points center on notifications, video playback, and usability across devices.

Pros

Timely and accurate local news and weather updates.
Reliable weather and local alerts that keep you informed.
Effective content discovery/navigation that surfaces relevant news and weather.
Comprehensive local coverage with up-to-date information.

Cons

Excessive push notifications and badge counts (spammy alerts).
Live video/streaming issues and video playback problems (livestream not working).
UI/UX regressions from updates: redesigned UI, small fonts, white space, and harder navigation.
Intrusive ads and difficulty removing or closing them.
Platform/device compatibility issues, notably lack of Apple TV support.

Recent reviews

The title says it all. Every article I click on starts with an ad that you have to press “x” to get out of. The layout is also strange. I shouldn’t have to scroll past several old articles to find newer ones. Also, this news is late by hours and days and sometimes doesn’t even mention important current events, while at the same time keeping old news up for weeks. Overall, I’m disappointed and will probably be deleting.
