User Reviews for NBC Bay Area: News & Weather
Bad design
I am subtracting two stars. Both for annoying navigation problems. When I open the app to see a weather alert, I can never exit out of the weather page. There is no easy link back to the home page. That’s an app 101 first rule of design. Easy navigation. The app also tends to not navigate to the alert when I click the alert and see the article. Instead, it puts me to the main article rather than the alert. The problem here is, the behavior never acknowledges the alert has been seen, making the number of alerts seen on the icon pointless.
Love this app
Keeps me informed and up to date. 2020 was an unusual year and as such, even more valuable to have this app and its notifications. Alerted to fire Hazzard’s, evacuation notices and regions, vaccine clinics and current Bay Area Covid tiers. I suspect it would have told me when and if a swarm of locusts were on the way. Thanks NBC Bay Area! It’s great (well not always the news...but the app)
News not Program Info
I can only give this app a 2 star rating. The news itself is great. And the app, while a bit laggy and clunky at times, is better than what you’d expect for a local news app. However, the real reason for the low rating is that there is no way to turn off the program alerts. Sending me breaking news alerts is fine and exactly what I signed up for. But pushing an alert for figure skating finals or for the live version of some ridiculous holiday movie is VERY ANNOYING! Please consider changing this.
Simple app for everyday people
Up to date news. Important info for those tech savvy. easy to use for older people. More disabled options needed. Accessory is important... I didn’t try everything to see if it was accessory compatible. I’m dyslexic and I can read it but I do worry about the others who can’t. 4/5 only because I didn’t see it but it’s not a big deal, because figuring out disability is hard.
Clickbait
The local news provided here is timely and informative, but what’s with the clickbait “articles” following the actual articles? This is a news app! The stories following the news articles should be other news and information, not internet trash. If you need revenue, go with ads from reputable companies. Using clickbait makes the whole thing seem shady and unreliable. Weather is often inaccurate for Mill Valley area.
Our Lifeline!!!
This year, unfortunately, we’ve all encountered exceptional disasters, from the fires, to the Coronavirus, and everything in between. This app has been my lifeline. I will get immediate alerts on my phone to important information that I otherwise would have missed, I watch live or recorded segments with vital information that I otherwise would never have been able to see if I didn’t have this app near me. I advise anyone who does not have this, to get it now. It truly could save your life, and it’s also just a nice communication link to everything you need.
Perfect APP...Huge timesaver
Who doesn’t wanna know what’s going on in 2020, especially now; in the Bay Area specifically? Surfing news channels and recording various news channels is finally a thing of the past for me ...thanks to this APP. I wish I knew about it sooner and am overjoyed to know now. Thank you NBC...I’ve had this APP less than a day and it’s already been a huge blessing to me...timely answering ALL my questions in one place ...& informing me of what I didn’t know and want to know 👍👏😊🙏💜
Fire coverage in Moraga.
My family was cut off from most of the communication when the power went off in Moraga and then the fire in Moraga broke out, the authorities cut off the home WiFi..but we found out that they could get text messages from me in San Jose. I started sending them your news via text and she could open them. At 6:00 am they found out from me and your app that the fire was a 4 min. drive from their home. And they were never warned....I flipped to other channels but no one was on the ground in Moraga..thank you for your up close coverage....
Great app! Few suggestions, though.
Overall, this app does what it’s meant to do. I took stars off because I wish there were more options when it comes to push notifications. I love push notifications for news, but do not care for certain things like sports and politics. It spams my phone and Fitbit with news I do not want on push notifications. Also, you have to watch an ad for every video. There’s already ads on every article that makes it look like a click bait website. For these reasons, I only give 2 stars.
Local News fail
For the last several months, I have not been able to access articles in the Local News section. Any time I tap an article to read it, it displays the first article in the bottom section — at the moment, it’s the “People are there for you” one. If I swipe to try and access the previous article, it takes me back to the article list.When I saw the app had been updated with bug fixes, I got my hopes up, but it’s still doing the same darn thing. It’s really frustrating, since I like the app in general.
