It’s crazy…I’m close to uninstalling, make this consumer friendly again! ### 4/5 — Too many alerts *2023-09-16* I want to be notified if major weather events. I don’t need to know that a short rain shower will occur in a few minutes. Please offer a way to limit the alerts. ### 3/5 — Wonky weather videos *2023-08-14* The weather forecast video freezes and stops no matter if I start it over, or close the app and try again. It stops 15 seconds or so into the video. Disappointing, because I really like the weather team. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t open 9 out of 10 times *2022-02-02, version 7.3.2* I download this app to replace NECN because it was not opening, only to find out this uses the same exact app as NECN and it will not open either. It only works about 10% of the time. I’m running iOS 15.3. ### 2/5 — nbc10 boston *2021-07-23, version 7.0.4* I used the NECN app for weather. It was excellent. This app replaced it and it is awful. The taskbar at the bottom to select weather is almost always not there. Why didn’t you just leave the NECN app the way it was. ### 2/5 — News app change mid-July, too bad!! *2021-07-18* The new format rolled out in mid-July has a terrible flow to it. Not at all easy as it was. Unwanted info on screen rather than fill the page with all news rather than taking up space with “choices”. I far preferred News 10’s app over channel 5’s but may have to go back. Disappointed! ### 4/5 — To the point: *2021-07-12, version 6.18* This ‘10 Boston’ app has the best news & weather coverage! Up to date, unbiased news and accurate weather reports keep me well informed. (I tried the CBS Boston app but I was sorely disappointed). I’m sticking with ’10 Boston’! ### 5/5 — NBC 10 Boston is the best. *2021-05-19, version 6.17* The NBC 10 Boston news app is the best in Boston. They keep you informed. Just an amazing news app. So happy I downloaded it. ### 5/5 — Great newspaper *2021-03-29, version 6.17* Always up to date with all on going news. Very accurate reporting. A pleasure to read ### 5/5 — NBC 10 *2021-03-26, version 6.17* Always happy with notifications and the news content. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — News Worthy of You *2026-06-23, version 8.8* Good source for ultra liberals. Biased media channel. Are you ever going to fix the time slider on the weather radar??? ### 1/5 — Charged $1 for app?? *2025-06-17, version 8.3* It says the app is free, but I was charged $1. Why?? ### 1/5 — Karen Read *2025-05-01, version 8.2* What will happen when this station runs out of Karen Read stories? ### 1/5 — Read trial overexposure *2025-04-01, version 8.1.1* Sick sick of this story. You have it on every night for like 3 years! Now watching abc ### 1/5 — Stories never load *2025-02-22, version 8.1.1* Headlines and alerts show up, but I am unable to read the stories. ### 1/5 — Can’t get past setup *2025-01-26* Can’t get past local weather setup screen on initial setup on iPad. Screen goes gray, says “tap to allow while using app”, and nothing is available to tap. Can’t go any farther. Setup ok on iPhone, can’t setup on iPad. If NECN is going away and need to migrate to NBC10, developers need to work on compatibility issues. Been trying for a couple weeks and still can’t get past weather setup screen. ### 1/5 — Apple TV no longer supported *2023-02-17, version 7.8.1* Well that’s a big loss. It was actually a decent app on Apple TV. No reasons given. But somehow they still supported on Roku and Samsung TV. ### 1/5 — New UI is Horrible *2021-07-29, version 7.0.4* All videos, and the new layout is horrible ### 1/5 — Completely broken *2021-06-08, version 6.18* It’s been working fine until recently when it started to freeze up - would only allow scrolling on the iPad if I turned it sideways - now it has frozen completely. Uninstalled and reinstalled but nothing - completely dead - and the feedback email is rejected as “no such user”. ### 1/5 — Crashes and burns *2020-11-19, version 6.11* Crap. After reading 3-4 articles the app freezes and crashes. You worry so much about your ads you could care less about allowing the user to read the articles. Your app cant handle both the ads and the memory to serve up the news so it freezes snd crashes. LET ME CLEAR THE CACHE TO OFFLOAD ALL INFO YOU ARE TRYING TO TRACK AND STORE WHICH IS FREEZING AND CRASHING MY EXPERIENCE. Hire someone who can make a proper app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Reliable details *2023-10-29, version 7.10.1* We watch NECN so it’s nice to have regular updates as-it-happens during the day. Very well organized and written posts. ### 5/5 — Easy to navigate *2021-09-15, version 7.0.4* Good app with not many ads ### 5/5 — My favorite *2021-09-09, version 7.0.4* This is probably my favorite app, with news and weather. I’m always the first to know breaking news! ### 5/5 — Alert & connecting to that story *2021-09-01* I love how this app gives you an alert, and when you click on the alert it brings you to that story. Another news app I have brings you to the love news feed which is never addressing that topic at that moment ### 5/5 — My Review *2021-07-07, version 6.18* It’s very useful for finding out about the weather. ### 5/5 — I like it very much *2021-07-06, version 6.18* Just a great app ### 5/5 — Top Notch *2021-06-18, version 6.18* Best news app ever ! ! ### 5/5 — Great app for local & national news *2021-06-17* My go to app in the morning. Gives me a great look at local & national need to start my day & wake me up. Have a subscription to the Globe to read every thing later. However this app gets me started with a quick look &/or in-depth reporting. 10 news is my go to channel for the evening news & the app to start my day. It is truly 5 stars. The news to go to for Boston and all of New England. ### 5/5 — Very Accurate Weather *2021-06-14, version 6.18* Good weather app ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-06-03, version 6.17* I enjoy all the notifications! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
