Subscribers Only

If the idea is to have everyone get a subscription now, that should be a separate app. I don’t want to open the NBC News app I have used for years to now have to scroll past 8 articles that I can’t read before I get to one I can read. After having this app for years I’m ready to move elsewhere for news. Please work on the platform or I will be deleting it.

Paywalls

For the past 10+ years, this has been my go-to app for national news. With 75% of articles now blocked by pay walls, an entire section of “editorial” product reviews linking exclusively to Amazon, and nearly 10% click bait ads poorly disguised as “articles”, I’m officially done. Capitalism is killing journalism.

Once was a good app

NBC News app used to be informative. Now you must be a Subscriber to read most content, sending me elsewhere to read the news
