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? ### 3/5 — Don't use for cancellations *2025-02-13, version 8.1.1* Decent app for news, but terribly inaccurate compared to other sources when it comes to weather delays and cancellations ### 3/5 — Mostly black screen *2025-02-12, version 8.1.1* If you want silence and and black screen the majority of the time, this is the app for you ### 3/5 — Weather page is better but still not there *2024-11-19* 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. **Developer response:** 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.

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.

Close and return only to find the same thing. ### 2/5 — Never Opens *2024-06-03, version 7.13.1* 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. ### 2/5 — Needs more Investment *2024-05-26, version 7.12.5* 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. ### 3/5 — Really wish it worked consistently *2024-05-17, version 7.12.5* 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. ### 2/5 — Opens less than 50% of the time! *2024-05-09, version 7.12.5* 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! ### 3/5 — Weather has trouble loading frequently *2023-08-14, version 7.8.2* 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. ### 2/5 — Never works! It freezes! *2023-06-17, version 7.8.1* 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 ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2023-02-26, version 7.8.1* I love this app and use it a lot for the weather and weather alerts and recently it updated and now the alerts are gone! Bring back the weather alerts and I’ll give it 5 stars! ### 3/5 — Fix your app this is the second time *2023-02-25, version 7.8.1* Please update your app some of can’t watch weather or watch today forecast ### 1/5 — App crashes *2022-05-17, version 7.3.2* This app crashes faster than anything I’ve ever seen. Can’t even read a full new story before everything goes blank and nothing comes back nothing reloads. I did use this app for a long time now it’s been deleted from everything I own because it just doesn’t work. No news no weather no anything it just refreshes in refreshers. ### 2/5 — Needs update *2022-05-13, version 7.3.2* App never starts when I open it any more. Very annoying. Can find other news apps that actually work ### 2/5 — Freezes- takes 3-4 app re-opens to load *2022-04-09, version 7.3.2* Used to really like this app (mostly use it for the weather), but for the past few months I have had to close and re-open the app 3-4 times to get the weather tab to load. I enjoy being connected to local news from time to time, but I’m sick of dealing with this poor performance. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Forced to accept promotional emails *2026-04-29, version 8.7.1* It’s not possible to create an account without opting-in to promotional emails. This is not acceptable. ### 1/5 — Programming *2026-02-05, version 8.6.1* 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 ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2024-10-08, version 8.0.1* 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. ### 1/5 — Kesha Grant ‘s new look. *2024-09-26, version 7.13.1* What have you done to Keisha Grant? She looks awful! Please end the attempt to make her into Aunt Jemima ! ### 1/5 — Really? *2024-08-03, version 7.13.1* 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! ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2024-02-26, version 7.11.3* 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. ### 1/5 — Play cased after 1day *2023-02-01, version 7.7.1* App on iPhone stopped playing live newscast after 1day ### 1/5 — I hate the weather section of this app. *2022-09-20, version 7.5* I use weather apps to get a brief breakdown of the days weather and a look ahead. I don’t need any of the technical info that goes with this app. I don’t care about humidity, dew points, UV index…… I want a breakdown of each day in a clear concise manner. “How the day starts, temperatures, partly sunny, cloudy, what type of precipitation and how much if any” I don’t use this app for these reasons. I’m not a meteorologist! ### 1/5 — Incomplete *2022-07-23, version 7.5* For whatever reason, weather portion of app is incomplete. Radar only gives present condition. Used to get past and future radar. Also can’t scroll down to get future forecasts. All I get is a spinning circle. This used to be my favorite local app. Very frustrating. ### 1/5 — Good when it works, but that’s rare. *2022-05-19, version 7.4.2* This app rarely loads. I can’t figure out what the issue is. I delete and reinstall the app and it works great for about 10 mins, then back to not loading. I restart my phone and it works great for 10 mins, then back to not loading. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great local station *2025-12-31, version 8.6.1* Love this station. Great reporting and weather forecast/information is always up to date and accurate. ### 5/5 — Weather App. *2024-11-19, version 8.0.5* It would be nice if you could show how much precipitation or snow we’re going to get on a given day. ### 5/5 — Rape kit story *2022-12-02, version 7.7.1* Thanks for such an informative report that could easily go below the radar! Roy Zag ### 5/5 — Great Coverage *2022-02-17, version 7.3.2* The news coverage is sufficient and timely. I can depend on accuracy and impartiality in the reporting. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2021-08-20, version 7.0.4* Key note to the success of this app ,because I would have deleted it ASAP!, Is the often paramount aspect of our daily outlook on life .... quick concise notification of events and news “flashes” of pertain importance I.g.-HURRICANE or found dead man in field or HEAT ADVISORY YEAH it’s good 🙂 ### 5/5 — Quick Reporting on Everything Connecticut! *2021-07-06* If you need to know what’s going on at almost anytime, this is the app for you. Whether it be a traffic notification, weather warnings, or basic news stories, you’ll hear about it first on this app. Then maybe an hour or so later on some of the others. Get this one and keep it live all day long. ### 5/5 — Great & Accurate *2021-06-02* This is a well done app that delivers what you want easily & without having to jump thru hoops to find what you need. It's become my go-to app for local weather & news updates. I keep the opening screen on Weather & added it to my widgets so I can check without opening the app if in a hurry. By far I've found their local weather forecast more accurate than other stations & weather apps, at least for my area of CT. Like any other app, there are a few things that can improve, but none are bothersome or take away from the app's value. This is one app I can depend on! Nice work developers! ### 5/5 — NBC Connecticut *2021-05-24* I’m almost obsessive about keeping track of the weather - hourly temperature fluctuation, etc. I use this app almost exclusively for weather, and it’s my favorite weather app now! The great thing about that is that I can always view a video of the latest meteorologists’ forecast, too, if I want. Thanks, NBC CT! ### 5/5 — Only way I have to get NBCCT! I’m thankful for this app! *2021-05-18, version 6.17* We moved to an area in Shelton where the cable company only supports NBC NY. The app is the only way I have now to get my local CT news and weather. So glad to see Bob Maxon on my phone each morning! ### 5/5 — Just the information you need *2021-03-30, version 6.17* I love this app! I can find all the information I need to keep up with the news. They have really done a great job sending notifications that I am really interested in. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
