NBC4 Washington

I'm not sure what has been going on with this app as of late, but for the last three months, there's been a disturbing number of occasions where the live broadcast of the news WASN'T THERE when it should've been. Like at all. Inexcusable.

Unusable, except for weather. Looks like they didn't invest in a usability expert. Specifically usability for someone who has color recognition issues. Somebody (probably someone who thought that since dark mode is now a thing) selected dark blue on black as the highlight color. This is unreadable to me. I'll read an article and then the subject or important bits of the story are effectively blank! Please at least allow customization of the color pallet.

The old version of the app was great. It was my go-to for local weather and I used it every day. Unfortunately, with this latest redesign it is awful! The radar only works about half the time, and the current day's forecast is so confusing. I miss the old layout! Please figure out a better way of presenting the information. All I want to know is the forecasted high/low and whether rain/snow is predicted.

I am sure this app would be an excellent app for those who have good hearing. I am disappointed that there is no closed captioning on the videos. there is usually a written article on the news reports, but the weather is only a video, so I go elsewhere for weather. NBC4 should add captioning. Thank you.

Just downloaded the latest version and it keeps crashing while trying to look at weather forecast. Just throws you out. While watching past or future radar movement (while it works) there are no times on the bar, only the beginning & ending 6 hr range. Can't tell when storm to hit your area.

I like this app 👍 It's easy to use, and keeps me informed about all sorts of things going on in my area. I really like the weather part of the app. I like to travel, and the radar is very helpful. Especially when going to remote locals to photograph nature & battlefields.

I used to like this app, but for the past day or so, I keep getting an error message on my phone that the app keeps stopping. Tapping "close app" only results in the error message coming back in about 15 seconds. Did you guys just do an update or something? I've uninstalled the app because that's the only way to get rid of the error message.

UPDATE.. absolutely no single change. 1 star. Even worse... chromecast is greyed out for live tv.. orginal: Flaky app at best. The increase font size does nothing and for live tv - half the time the video does not play and the other half, the chromecast option is often greyed out.

Apps are worthless if they require you to always be on the latest in order to function. Update:2021- 1 year later still does not connect to watch live tv even with the latest app update. This is why people keep Directv or cable, turn it on and it works.

The live feed fails to play in the newly designed app. I tried it on two devices and it still doesn't play. It played well in the previous version; otherwise, I would rate it five stars.

This use to be my go to app for news and weather updates. Since the latest update trying to read the weather is a little difficult. The radar no longer works and the font is smaller. Horrible app!

I loved this app until the recent update. I no longer see live radar (just cloud coverage), and the loss of current temperature and other info on my (Android) home screen and notification list is more than annoying.

I don't like the update. The old look was just fine. What happened to the option of having the weather displayed on the phone. Its gone. Hate that I have to open the app to see the current temperature 😭

Crushes my battery. Shows as my top app for battery consumption even though it wasn't open. Notifications for articles are nice but they just opened the app without taking you to the actual story. What's the point? I like the temp alerts but that's not enough to keep it Uninstalling.

I used to love this app but it keeps freezing and I have to force stop it then reopen just to find out the weather alerts. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it. I wish they would just bring back the weather app.

The app is pretty good especially when i'm able to get the live television. Weather,traffic and local news from washington are all very helpful.

Not happy with the 7/16/21 update. App is bloated, eats battery. I want screen access to the weather and temperature I had before. Looks like it changed just to shove ads in my face I can't avoid.

Terrible app. The videos do not play. At least give viewers the option to read the story if the multimedia interface is weak.

August,2019 liked app before News Alerts added . trying to. always stay on now which drIns your battery WTUP did it & had to leave them, now these people want to add all these news alerts. They should make this optional with on & off button. No o e I know wants to see a news alert with an ad running below it barging g onto and interrupting g phones operation plus lowering you battery time

Most complete local tv news site we use.

Provides an excellent synopsis of important headlining stories and other current events. Summaries are succinct, clear, and easy to understand.

Yesterday's update really messed up the radar (just in time for bad weather, ugh). Does not have future radar and past freezes. Then the whole app freezes. I'm SO bummed! I depend on you!

App requires that you sign up for or have a paid tv provider (cable, dish, etc.) so effectively the app costs $50 to $100's monthly depending on your provider. So why would I want to pay that for this app?

Truly love the app, I see local news in real time. But with the most recent update, I don't see the radar, just a blank map.

Weather - difficult to get radar; white background is way too stark. Planning to delete app. Will depend on other weather sources.

I find I don't watch the news because of my hectic life. I found myself not connected to local news and value being connected. This allows me to quickly read during the day and stay connected.
