User Reviews

Reviewers repeatedly cite heavy ad loads, auto-playing videos, and crashes as major flaws in the updated version. Navigation is unclear and the UI is perceived as cumbersome, with the main page often lacking headlines and ads overlapping content. Some reviews accuse bias in coverage and question the reliability of local news and past broadcasts. A minority note the visual update is appealing or that they can tolerate the changes, but the overall sentiment is negative and many consider deleting the app until fixes are made.

Pros

Updated look of the app is appealing to some users.
A few users can tolerate the new setup and find the update acceptable.
The update is visually nicer despite functionality issues.

Cons

Auto-play video with sound is hard to stop, interrupting reading and content consumption.
Overabundance of ads and commercials, with ads delaying content and sometimes overlapping articles.
Frequent crashes, freezes, or the app won’t open on iPhone/iPad.
Cumbersome navigation and a UI that feels disorganized after the update, including a lack of clear sections or headlines on the main page.
Content issues linked to coverage (perceived bias) and unreliable availability of past/newscasts; some reports of choppy video and missing local coverage.
Features and links that degrade UX, such as weather links opening to standalone apps and requests like dew point being ignored.

Why did you do this app?? It’s horrific. The auto play video thing with volume is going to make me stop using NBC15 entirely! This is so obnoxious. App is not pleasant to use either. The old one was just fine. Why’d you waste the money on developing this??

The app is buggy and hard to use.

The new version is cumbersome. Did you do any user testing? The user has to wait for an ad to run before going to the app. Other key features have changed. A little tutorial on the changes would have been helpful.
