I don’t want to get notifications about every single Olympic event. As far as I can tell, there’s no way to configure the app to send me only what I want. As a result, I have to turn notifications off, which will reduce my number of visits. And, if I’m not the only one who feels this way, that may affect ad revenue because of the reduced number of visitors to the site. ### 1/5 — NBC PSP Web Site is So 1990 *2021-02-09, version 4.35.220051673* The web site is beyond basic and often contains many spelling and grammatical errors. ### 3/5 — Excellent news app for Palm Springs and the valley *2020-04-21, version 4.35.220051673* Good news coverage, well presented and trusted. ### 3/5 — It’s only ok *2019-08-14, version 4.33.400045204* Most days the “watch live” feature does not work, has glitches, or interruptions. I mainly use this app to watch the live news, but mostly it’s disappointing and frustrating to get news with this app. I will be switching to a different local news app to see if it’s any better. ### 1/5 — Why bother? *2018-12-13, version 4.28.180035716* Forget coming here for any kind of breaking news...or barely current news either. In a word, stale. KESQ isn’t much better... I think the app is just an afterthought, and no effort is put forth to make it a viable go-to source for any real news. There was a multi agency fire in Cathedral City last night...12 Engines responding. Nothing about it on the app this morning. Last night at eleven pm, KESQ led with the story, with a reporter on scene...KMIR, oops sorry...NBC Palm Springs ... led with old news.. Same effort put forth on this app apparently.. ### 2/5 — Looser *2018-08-13, version 4.28.180035716* KMIR.COM is too repetitive, much too NBC left wing, and too many reporters do not speak correct English. A sad story🤪 Dr Bill Johnson, ### 1/5 — Poor at best *2018-08-06, version 4.28.180035716* Having moved from MN the NBC affiliate app is the same format but content is soooo lacking and not up to date. It really is disappointing. ### 1/5 — kmir6 *2018-07-27, version 4.28.180035716* awful, I'd give this app negative stars if it was possible, why even have an app if you don't update it and delete old stories. nothing about this app is good ### 1/5 — Not enough current news! *2018-05-03, version 4.28.180035716* I turn to your app for current information, but often find old news, especially on the weekend. Example - RV fire at Stagecoach was in your top three stories for 5 days! Become a tool and resource for Coachella Valley residents, and visitors. Make this a priority. ### 3/5 — Disappointed *2017-08-07, version 4.20.130022528* While this valley news app exceeds the others, still the urgency of adding new items is lacking. I too often check for "news" in the morning and evening with nothing new reporting. It's almost as if this app does not have an assigned reporter, but gets secondary attention. I'm keeping it, but ... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not in Apple TV *2025-11-04, version 6.0.1* Can’t find it on my Smart TV using the Apple TV ### 1/5 — News? *2024-11-18, version 5.03.220062247* When was the last time this news was updated? Nuff said….yawn! ### 1/5 — No news *2024-10-29, version 5.03.220062247* The app has not updated in two months. It is not news. ### 1/5 — Old news.. recent broadcasts usually days old *2023-09-03, version 5.03.080061062* Not great ### 1/5 — User Unfriendly *2023-04-15, version 4.35.630058622* How do you find anything on this app. All I want is to give feedback to the NBC Palm Springs station. Weather: Cloe needs help! She can’t modulate her speech rate. She either says “ahhhhh unmmmm then has to rush through her forecast because she wasted time at the start. She is getting better saying ummmm or ahhhh. Keep practicing Cloe. Tim O’Brian: Tim is not a newscaster. His words frequently end with a hisssss or he frequently looses his spot as he reads the teleprompter. Send him back to being a sportscaster. He needs work! Olivia, Tim & Cloe: I’m not interested in what you are doing after the show. I tune in to get the news! This is not your personal social calendar. We aren’t interested. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2022-10-09, version 4.35.630058622* I get notifications from NBC all the time. Instead of giving me info like other media notifications it just advises me to “tune in” at such and such a time to watch the particular item on their local channel Total waste of time. Will be deleting the app today ### 1/5 — No local headlines in 14 days *2022-07-18, version 4.35.630058622* I liked this app could hit the headlines button and see what’s going on. Apparently nothing they quit updating the news in July 5th. A news app without news is pretty worthless ### 1/5 — Headlines Not Updating *2022-07-15, version 4.35.630058622* It’s now July 15th and the headlines section hasn’t updated since July 6th. I downloaded the app for KESQ and it constantly updates with the latest news. ### 1/5 — No longer working *2021-07-12, version 4.35.630058622* Worked for a year but can not access the news anymore. ### 1/5 — Crap site, crap station *2021-06-23, version 4.35.630058622* Update; stills crappy app and a crappy station. Never gets updated. They think Lauren Bacall's death is news on October 13, 2014. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — NBC Palm Springs does it again!!! 🤩 *2025-09-19, version 6.0* Love this app!
