When the iPad rotates to landscape the app stays in portrait. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-07-07, version 7.13.1* I downloaded this to keep up-to-date. I do get notifications, and when there’s something I want to read more about I tap on the notification to open the app. However, clicking on that notification, NEVER brings me to the actual video. It’s always brings me somewhere else to a video. I’m not interested in and has nothing to do with the notification I received. This is just taking up space on my phone. ### 1/5 — Flaky *2024-06-10, version 7.13.1* Half the time this app won’t load fully. Sometimes, when it does load, it’s showing hours in the past, not current weather. ### 1/5 — Horrible operations on app *2024-04-24, version 7.12.2* Such a great news channel deserves a quality news app. Alas, this is not it. I love NBC6, have grown up with the channel, but this app is truly horrendous. It glitches constantly, the ads take over the entire screen, and you have to watch a 30-60 second ad to watch ANY video they “alert” you to, even if it’s a live video (now you’ve missed it, thanks ad) or even if it’s a 25 second traffic alert. ### 1/5 — Ripoff *2023-10-03, version 7.10.1* Cant cancel this. Why do you make it so difficult? Ripoff ### 1/5 — What happened to the radar?? *2023-09-28, version 7.10.1* Loading is horrible so get some tech and QA teams to figure it out! ### 1/5 — Forced ads *2023-08-29, version 7.8.2* Way too many ads ruin the app. ### 1/5 — What happened to real time Doppler? *2023-07-13, version 7.8.2* No wonder the only review they show on the app landing is from 4 years ago, all the latest one are horrific. Looks like they have done away with real time Doppler they would highlight so much and used to set themselves apart from the other local stations. This was my go to app when weather approached. Sad to see. NBC has been my news and weather source for more than 40 plus years. I hope they restore this feature, otherwise I’m going elsewhere. ### 2/5 — Weather Radar NOT Working *2023-07-03, version 7.8.1* Today is July 3, 2023, and as of a week now the weather radar has not been displaying as it should. No radar returns whatsoever. ### 3/5 — App needs reorganization *2023-05-11, version 7.8.1* This app is one I review every morning, among several news apps. However, it is needlessly complicated and repetitious. I prefer to see stories organized with the latest first. The distinction between Latest and Alerts is totally meaningless to me, and I would suggest combining those two threads. Stories are also duplicated between those threads and the column on the left. I would be happy if there was a single timeline, and perhaps the headlines of stories could be color-coded to indicate in which category they belonged. ### 2/5 — Their updates are annoying *2023-01-05, version 7.7.1* The narrative that hot weather is dreadful and Floridians are always after “cooler temps” is SO ANNOYING!! I moved here for the hot weather so please stop. “So flo will deal with another day of warmer temps before cooling off”. K I’m not looking forward to it “cooling off”. ### 3/5 — First Alert Doppler *2022-06-11, version 7.4.2* AccuWeather radar sometimes is more accurate than First Alert Doppler 6000 ### 1/5 — Filled with 30 second ads *2022-05-29, version 7.4.2* Wanna weather report? Wait 30 seconds. Flood warning for Miami Dade County? You’ll wait 30 seconds to hear anything about it. Whatever utility the app has is diminished by the absolute pollution by ads. ### 3/5 — Crash/Freezes *2022-04-30, version 7.3.2* When I switch to the Weather portion of the App, it always crashes. The radar never loads and I am unable to switch back to news, notifications, or the live TV. ### 2/5 — Let people customize alerts *2022-02-28, version 7.3.2* There is no option on the app to customize notifications/alerts. Let people select which type of news notifications they want to receive. For example, people only wanting to receive local news alerts, and not international, should be able to select that option. ### 1/5 — Crashing *2022-01-23, version 7.3.1* Always crashes since the update. ### 1/5 — Was decent now doesn’t load *2022-01-21, version 7.3.1* The previous version of the app was relatively OK except for the fact that the weather app showed today’s weather skips the next day and then gives you the following day plus the rest of the seven days after that. Now the app doesn’t even load it just has a spinning circle of death. ### 2/5 — Annoying radar future cast *2022-01-16, version 7.2* Why did you change the radar and remove so much of the past radar. Now you show way too much future cast and do not give us the option to just watch past. Some of us are smart enough to see the track of a storm better than your computer. Please change it back or allow us to get rid of the future cast! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2026-08-04, version 8.8* 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. ### 1/5 — I use to love this app *2025-07-13, version 8.3* 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 ### 1/5 — No landscape IOS *2025-06-01, version 8.3* Opened the app yesterday and Boom! Portrait view only. No landscape view. Please fix this. ### 1/5 — Incorrect Weather Notification *2025-05-31, version 8.3* This is a waste of an App.. most of the time, it predicts incorrect weather, especially, with rain forecast. Keep in mind folks.. these people are NOT God. They just make money predicting what may happen with the weather. Most of us depends on the weather forecast, because we have a business to run!! By predicting incorrect weather - it DOES NOT help. DO BETTER - for God sake !!!!! ### 1/5 — Horrible operations on app *2025-05-15, version 8.2* I’m here again to reiterate how horribly this app functions. It has somehow gotten worse since my last review. If I click on a notification to WATCH LIVE, the app will open and then completely freeze, requiring a complete reset to resolve the freeze. ———— Such a great news channel deserves a quality news app. Alas, this is not it. I love NBC6, have grown up with the channel, but this app is truly horrendous. It glitches constantly, the ads take over the entire screen, and you have to watch a 30-60 second ad to watch ANY video they “alert” you to, even if it’s a live video (now you’ve missed it, thanks ad) or even if it’s a 25 second traffic alert. ### 1/5 — All you do is promote drugs on your commercials. I can’t let my children watch this anymore. *2025-05-11, version 8.2* All you do is promote drugs on this channel. You are involved with the drugs. For your promotions, good luck to you bye forever. ### 1/5 — Too many commercials *2025-02-02, version 8.1* I’ve watched a few good stories but to get there you have to sit through commercial after commercial and then watch all of the stories they pick before finally getting to the story you’re interested in. So no, I’m not recommending this channel for news ### 1/5 — The update is horrible *2024-10-11, version 8.0.1* Why does every thing good have to be changed. The new changes are horrible. Nowhere near the user friendly app from before. Please, have the old version available. ### 1/5 — Do better - limited hurricane live feeds *2024-10-10, version 8.0.1* In the past I could get live steaming during a hurricane. Tried to get updates on hurricane Milton, when I clicked on “Live”, it was a prerecorded video having nothing to do with hurricane. You had to read thru news feeds and checked on how stale the article was. Terrible approach for hurricane coverage. I subscribe to Peacock, so I switched there… unless it was news hour or you searched through the listing, there was no readily 24/7 Hurricane Milton tab to get easy update. But on YouTube you could catch a live steaming tab for hurricane update. Why keep this APP if it’s not going to be useful during times of need. Shame. ### 1/5 — Do you even try out your app *2024-09-22, version 7.13.1* This this is so buggy. If you click a alert you will get another video playing in the background. When you finish watching a video another video continues to play and you have no idea what it’s about. You guys need a app tester like me. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App *2021-12-27, version 7.2* The radar and news updates are outstanding. The only thing better is watching NBC6 live. My wife and I particularly love watching Roxanne Vargas. Edited 12/27/21: I just realized I can add weather locations for other parts of the country. This add just keeps getting better. 5 stars all the way! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ### 5/5 — 6 news *2021-12-16, version 7.2* Hello, excellent 👍 ### 5/5 — News on time. *2021-07-07, version 6.18* Always quick and precise ### 5/5 — Great Content *2021-07-04, version 6.18* Thanks for making a great app ### 5/5 — NBC *2021-07-01, version 6.18* NBC IS THE BEST FOR NEWS, WEATHER EVERYTHING!! When I lived in NY & now in Florida, I watch ONLY NBC😊 ### 5/5 — Love NBC 6 app *2021-06-26, version 6.18* I love getting news notification on my phone. My go-to for news. ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-06-09, version 6.18* Great functionality and content ### 5/5 — Dependable *2021-05-15, version 6.17* Gives up to date and accurate news stories! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2021-05-12, version 6.17* I use this app everyday for news and weather especially when I don’t have the time to turn on the news during the day. Works great! ### 5/5 — NBC 6 *2021-04-21, version 6.17* Great source of information, thank you! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
