Great App !!!

Now that we’re under siege by the Covid 19 virus ...practicing social distancing and wearing face masks it makes it very important to stay well informed and on top of the latest developments each day. If for any reason you can’t have your tv or radio on the number 1 place to get your news and weather is the NBC5 Chicago App !!!

NBC App especially Weather

I have been using the app several days a year! Every day especially inclement weather! You are my life line! Thank You❤️

I can’t live without my NBC App❤️. I can’t tell you how many times a day that I open it up to check new like to see when the Mayor or Governor is having a news conference and then there is the weather!
I have a dog that has to go out and I check to see how it is outside and to see what kind of outer wear I need!
I guess you can see how much value your App gives me! 5 stars!

I love my app and use it several times a day! Constantly check on weather conditions especially for walking the dog, checking on updated news and of course the 2:30 report from our Governor. It is part of my day! 4 Stars

NBC 5

The app keeps me informed when my busy schedule won’t allow me to sit still and watch the news and weather! I am in law enforcement and a first responder, so I depend on the accuracy of the weather report and the articles about what’s going on in the Chicago land and surrounding areas, keep up the great work!

Excellent news updates

Checking the latest news on my phone is great, thanks to this app! I still like to watch the channel 5 morning & nightly news when I can, but I am happy to get the updated info whenever I wish.

Happy with most of it

I look at the low temperature for the day a lot because I work and do other things outside. A lot of times the low for the day will say something like 28 degrees. But when I get up at 4:30 it is actually 19 degrees out, and the app still says 28 degrees for the low. Sometimes I have to plan ahead for the Westland it is just a little frustrating when I’m getting mixed signals on the temperature. Other than that I use the app a lot and love the interactive weather map, it is awesome to have.

Love this app!

Every morning when I open my iphone an NBC5 weather report for that day is waiting for me. It helps me to decide what to wear and how to plan my day.
The app sends important breaking news notifications, but not too many to annoy. The Live Radar is nice. You can see weather movements in real time.
Overall a great and useful app that does what you expect without bombarding you with nonsense all day.

Weather Videos - Tell Me More...

Wishing the videos that were uploaded to the app were the actual forecasts from the news broadcast. Just take Brant’s forecast from the 5:00 news or the 10:00 news and put that up on the app - keep uploading the latest and greatest. The version he records for the app is never at complete as the one he does for the actual broadcast. Also, it’s unfortunate that you don’t give any dewpoint info on the app - just inferior relative humidity info. Please update that. Dewpoint is so much more helpful. Thx

NBC NEWS

I enjoy the up to the minute weather on my phone. It gives me the option to stay or leave depending on the weather.
Also important updates in the news are important when it comes to what is going on in Chicago or the Nation
We have many great local stations but NBC 5 is my favorite.

Love NBC5

Love the app
Love that they fix the problem that when you get notifications and you tap it, it takes you directly to the news articles
Love the weather tracking system.
If they could do anything else I would like to be able to bookmark an article for later review.

NBC Chicago News and Weather

I’m a news and weather Junkie. When in the car I listen to news radio and whether at home or office I get up to the minute reports on both through this app. Both written word and visual if wanted. Weather portion provides all that I could want to know.

Perfect companion to your various newscasts.
