Inconsistent

Every time I open this app it gets more and more frustrating. It often will time out or crash on me for days at a time. Over the last month, it no longer remembers what I recently watched or saves any of my progress. It’s always inconsistent.

Glitchy

Defaults to NBC sports on live view, not to NBC network or to last channel watched. After starting live view it will interrupt a the show 15 sec later asking you to sign up. Doesn’t show local channels. Requires local cable subscription. Doesn’t NBC get it? We don’t want cable TV anymore. Give us a smooth app that is easy to use and watch local and national shows without having to restart the app and go through 3-5 steps each time.
