Leave a Review MSNBC
Perfect News Source
I appreciate news stories that seem logical, and details are important. The facts backed by proof are essential. The more facts I am given, the easier it is to find a flaw in what is being reported. I find no flaws in Rachel Maddow’s reporting. Rachel Maddow’s ability to present what came first leading up to an important news story makes her easy to follow even when the news story gets complicated. I am able to comprehend because she is a gifted and succinct communicator. Once I have the big picture, I am able to follow the news by going to many other different sources in search of more information. She is a role model for me in her ability as a communicator and she has integrity when it comes to reporting news that matters.Show lessItsthepath
Daily user, daily problems
I watch MSNBC every day and love the programming. The app (which I use on Apple TV) is almost unacceptably glitchy. The ad serving is the primary objective of the app, so get ready to see the same Trulicity spot three times within a commercial break. Or Febreze - four or five times in a row.
Often, you’ll realize the commercial break has been going on for over four minutes, just to restart the stream to discover you’ve missed most of an important interview. They are also very casual about programs on demand. Usually last night’s programming is available the next morning, but sometimes? Just not there. And there is no one by google or any other method to complain to. Hence this review.Show lessSkip Brilliantine
I listen to msnbc because it’s news I trust
I’m not interested in much chit chat among the women concerning styles & home modeling. I want news from Washington & around the country. We have been so ruined by Donald Trump & his family. While some freeing up of commerce needed to happen. This Cluster B snake oil salesman needed to be stopped & media just feed him. Yes white disenfranchised men & their families were feeling like he was a hero. He was not nor was he capable of doing anything to bring us together. MyConnell was a prime enable & Jim Jordan also fell for the lies. The man is an anti social psychopathic narcissist. Don’t listen to the words watch the behaviors. He like Bernie Madoff (of sad memory) need to win prison for the destruction they’ve wrought to the American Fresno of our forefathers. Take it from someone who evaluates such I evaluate for the State of NJ.Show lessRJM1944/1971

Please tell the software staff to call CNN and FOX news, there software staff knows how to make a IPad work with Apple AV Adaper. Please hire some better programmers with the skills or care about there users problems🤷♂️🙏🏽😩😴
This problem started in April 2020 after an app. update, when using a Apple AV Adapter on a ipad. (Still waiting on the fix😥)The non live shows stream okay👍. The live shows were showing the symbols >|| and that’s changed since the last update, now I get the black screen of death🖥. Ive been waiting on a fix in one of the updates. Now, does anyone know about the problems, or have the wisdom to fix the problem. Please fix and hire some more app. programmers.🔧🤷♂️🔧😳🔧🤪🩺🧐🔧🤔🩺😯🔧Show lessPepperednice
Love MSNBC but this app is more than frustrating
MSNBC is my favorite news source. I like to have it on in my office. I don’t have cable in my office, so using the app on the Apple TV is the next best thing... EXCEPT i have to log into my TV subscription for authorization to use it EVERY two hours. After watching it for two hours it completely closes out the app, and I have to re log in. All the other apps I use like this that require a tv subscription login stay logged in for weeks without me having to re enter my info. This is beyond annoying and frustrating. Please fix this. I can’t for the life of me understand how this is beneficial for them. If my HBO app that I pay $15 a month for on its own doesn’t keep their app on such lock down, there is no reason why a news app should be set up this way. You’re losing potential viewers!!Show lessBcannon1105
It’s always been a bad app
I’ve been using this app for years, it’s never been good.
On the iOS apps, if you pause the video at any time and then resume playback, it will continue to pause/play (buffer perhaps) until you restart the app. Then it will lose your place in the program. Sometimes and often, the app will just crash and lose your place in the stream.
The AppleTV app is even worse. You still have all the pause/play issues, but just the user experience is bad. The screen is SUPER bright blue, it’s uncomfortable on the eyes. The trackpad is inverted, that’s annoying. Plus it has all the playback bugs described above.
Those playback issues also occur when watching the desktop version of the player.
Moral of the story, you pretty much have to dedicate the time of any whole show to watch it smoothly - no pausing, and hope it does crash.Show lessbryandickens1
Great Programming, but what’s up with Spanish commercials?
I watch MSNBC on app practically all day, from Way Too Early to the 11th Hour. But lately most of the commercials are in Spanish. Is bilingual TV programming hip these days?? There are some people who might be highly offended by this, however I am not one of them. To be honest, when I’m ready to buy something I’m going to do all of my homework not just believe what is loaded into my brain in between Morning Joe and Dealine White House. So the fact that I can’t understand them helps me to ignore them even more. I’m sure Verizon and Honda don’t want to hear that. The only English commercials I hear anymore are about cancer, sleep apnea and bowel problems. It would be better if you could just choose what language you want to hear programming in, to be fair all around. Otherwise please make all the commercials in Spanish, Cantonese, or any other language so I don’t have to pay any attention to any of them.Show lessslv_j
MSNBC
I have use this app to watch primarily morning Joe and the news up until about 3 PM almost every day. About six months ago the app started freezing up so I went online, then that started freezing up. The last three days it’s impossible to watch it anymore, it freezes up, “initializes” or just plain quits I’ve done everything they’ve asked me to. Reinstalled the app, restarted my device, signed in and out of Dish, to no avail, I’m done. I cannot watch the shows I so love to watch. I got support six months ago, and they fix the problem on their end although I was blamed that it was on my end. Finally it was fixed and I was off and happy as a clam watching, once again, morning Joe every day along with Stephanie Ruhle and all the other great reporters. That ship has sailed. No support and I’m not able to watch either on my iPhone or my iPad. Super frustratingShow lessGotohelltimjohnson2020
Frustrated
I love MSNBC, and I have my favorite shows. However, I don’t have time to sit in front of the TV, which has made this app perfect for me. I can start my show on my app, grab my earphones, and listen as I go about my chores.
While there have been times when the app would quit (as stated in at least one user’s review), it still worked well enough that I didn’t feel the need to complain. However, yesterday it quit working at all with live programs. I finally deleted the app and reloaded it—twice—hoping that would fix it. It didn’t. While it still works great with day-after viewing, I really would love to listen to real-time programing.
I don’t think it’s my device that’s broken because all my other apps still work fine. Please check on the app and fix it. I would greatly appreciate that. 😊Show lessLove Woody!
Like it but frustrated
I like the app but am absolutely frustrated with it now. Did the update yesterday and now cannot watch it “live”. I haven’t updated on my iPad because I don’t know what the problem is and it Is difficult for me to find where to get help. Tired of all of the freezing (used cellular data to bypass this from searching for connectivity), tired of message saying can’t view and need to use cellular data (which I already do), tired of the repetitiveness of the commercials (if I’m already signed in with my paid provider, why so many commercial?) and the same commercial can play back to back up to 5 times, tired of the freezing (buffering screen) I have to close out the app, swipe up to remove as prior viewed and restart. By the time I do this then I miss what I was watching. Like watching morning joe on my way to work and deadline whitehouse on my way home. I can no longer watch this due to the new update. Hopefully I’ll be able to get someone to address otherwise I have to find a new channel to watch. Thanks.Show lessugh really frustrated
