User Reviews

Users praise NBC6 South Florida: News for solid real-time radar/weather updates and useful hurricane coverage, plus decent live streaming. However, repeated issues hurt usability: portrait-only on tablets, heavy ads, frequent crashes and slow loading, video/notification playback problems, and a cluttered, duplicated feed. Restoring landscape mode, reducing ads, stabilizing performance, fixing notification/video navigation, and simplifying the feed would significantly improve the experience while preserving the app’s strengths in local news and weather.

Pros

Strong real-time radar and weather updates.
Reliable NBC6 live video streaming.
Very useful during hurricane coverage.
Generally helpful for staying informed about local news and weather.
Feature to add weather locations across the country enhances usefulness (positive feedback).

Cons

Portrait-only orientation on iPad and lack of landscape mode after updates.
Excessive and intrusive ads disrupt viewing and overall experience.
Frequent crashes and slow loading after updates affecting usability.
Video/notification navigation issues (notifications opening wrong content, videos auto-playing or continuing in background, etc.).
Cluttered UX with duplicated stories and a confusing timeline (no single, streamlined feed).

Recent reviews

App continues to get worse with updates. Pull up the radar and everything on it disappears. Play the predictive radar and the time stamp stays stuck at the time you initially touched when sliding towards future hours. Downloaded the newest version and the app hardly even functions now. Sucks.

I used this app for years. However it only loads vertically now instead of horizontally. And it’s not closed captioned friendly. I miss the old version
