Forced to accept promotional emails

It’s not possible to create an account without opting-in to promotional emails. This is not acceptable.

Programming

NBC CT is nothing but a mouthpiece for the Democrats now, it’s so obvious. So anti Trump!! My wife and I have watched NBC for 50 years every morning, but now watch another news network that is fair. Too bad

Great local station

Love this station. Great reporting and weather forecast/information is always up to date and accurate.

Latest update

App updated yesterday. Now every time I open phone it shows I have 500-1200 alerts from NBC Ct.
So I open the app and there is one or none. This has never been an issue before. Is the 500-1200 your way of annoying people or can you not count?

Don't use for cancellations

Decent app for news, but terribly inaccurate compared to other sources when it comes to weather delays and cancellations

Mostly black screen

If you want silence and and black screen the majority of the time, this is the app for you

Weather page is better but still not there

The latest update is improved but still missing some key details and continues to be messy/complex to use. That dew points aren't shown on the main screen (why make us dig for such basic data) and no pinpoint location tracking available make this much less of useful resource. Both are there at a glance on other local weather apps. While you can have your current location shown that requires you turning on location tracking for the whole app and is only available for where you are, not for other locations you may be tracking. Your app has too much scrolling or clicking to separate pages. A few iterations ago you had a great app, not now. The NBC CT weather team has long been the best in the area and I hope it will continue to be despite losing its diversity with a recent departure with no sign that will change.

Weather App.

It would be nice if you could show how much precipitation or snow we’re going to get on a given day.

Weather page is better but still not there

The latest update is improved but still missing some key details and continues to be messy to view. The two missing items that will keep me from using the app on a regular basis are: no dew points shown and no pinpoint location tracking available. Both are available on other local weather apps. While you can have your current location shown that requires you turning on location tracking for the whole app and is only available for where you are, not for other locations you may be tracking. I hope the app will be updated soon to include they key items. The NBC CT weather team has long been the best in the area and I hope it will continue to be despite losing its diversity with a recent departure and new hire.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We have our dew point located under humidity. We're sorry to hear that the app isn't meeting your expectations. We appreciate your detailed suggestions and will pass them on to our development team for consideration. If you have any more insights or questions, please share them by reaching us at WVITdigitalfeedback@nbcuni.com. Thank you for supporting local journalism.

Disappointed

Why they changed from a great layout to this dumbed down version is beyond me. The weather app was perfect for all the different ways you wanted to get information. Now it is just slow, awkward, and tedious.

Kesha Grant ‘s new look.

What have you done to Keisha Grant? She looks awful! Please end the attempt to make her into Aunt Jemima !

Really?

How can that PFT sound not yet be fixed during commercials?

It was for a short time, but until it is again,
I’ll be on CBS and FOX!

Seems to be updating for very long time

I open the weather page and the information is hours old and there is a clocking symbol on the screen. Close and return only to find the same thing.

Never Opens

The app is great when it actually opens. 95% of the time I go to use it, the app is frozen when it opens and doesn’t load. I have to constantly close it and open it back up 3-5 times to finally get it to fully load. I’ve even tried uninstalling it and reinstalling but that didn’t help either. My mother has the same problem with app so I know it’s not just me.

Needs more Investment

This app is atrocious. I have to open and close this app like five times just to get the weather to load. It’s slow to load and never loads properly. Please invest in the app so it’s at least useable because it’s quite literally the most annoying experience and there are several reviews that say the same thing. This replicates on multiple different devices.

Really wish it worked consistently

I like using this app, but for the longest time it's had issues loading the weather data and will just show blank. It often requires several closing and opening again attempts to get it to work. I'm at home on a strong connection so there's no local connectivity issues.

Opens less than 50% of the time!

I am a WVIT NBC CT news fan and tune in daily which makes this app even more disappointing! I use it to check weather frequently and it rarely opens correctly the first time. I have to close and reopen it several times until it finally loads correctly. I also have WFSB App, it works much better. I will give this app a little more time to get it right, and if not, WFSB here I come!

Worst app ever

I have had to reload this app over and over; it constantly freezes and crashes. Not worth the trouble . News doesn’t load, freezes always.

Weather has trouble loading frequently

Not sure what is going on but it takes me about 10 tries to open the app in order to get the actual weather section to load. Been like this for a while now.

Never works! It freezes!

I’m constantly trying to open this then closing and trying it again it NEVER works! And it just updated! What’s wrong with this?! I’m deleting and using Weather Channel app at least it doesn’t freeze up! Or I’ll just find a other local news channel
