User Reviews for The NBC App – Stream TV Shows

Days Only

I use this app at least 3 to 4 times a week to catch up on episodes of days of our lives because I can rarely watch it when it’s on live. Love that feature, and I’m very happy that this app exists for that reason! However, I rarely use it for other shows, because I don’t have cable service, and therefore I’m locked out of many episodes. As someone else suggested, I would love it if you could earn credits or even pay a subscription to have the app. The other issue that I consistently have when streaming an episode, is the video will freeze but you can still see the time counting, and when the video finally resumes you’ve missed several seconds of the storyline. It’s like the system is still moving ahead but the video is not. Maybe I should try reinstalling the app...not sure... I do regular system updates so not sure that would matter... In total I consistently watch/follow more shows on NBC than any other major network, so it really would be great if I had more access to programming on your app.

Grumpy about terrible rewind feature

I have never written an app review before, but the most recent update to this app has made me so frustrated. In general - its a great app to access lots of shows on demand, and I appreciate the deep library (though I’d like if previous seasons of many shows were carried so I could watch back episodes) but recently, the glitchiness of the app is making my experience terrible. If I try to rewind using the 10 second rewind button, it will often go to commercial, and then pick back up 3-4 minutes ahead of where I was at - making that rewind button totally non-functional and also aggravating me as I have to continue to watch the same 5 commercials over and over again just to be moved forward in the show and have to rewind again to get back to my spot... then often rewinding gets me more commercials and it’s just... exhausting. Fix the issue, so shows can be streamed and rewinded. Also, I’d be happy to pay for a commercial free version of NBC. Will that ever be a possibility? It takes longer than it should to watch a single show because of the excessive commercials...

I love Lester. Best since Cronkite.

I’ve seen plenty of national U.S. TV news broadcasts in my 68 years. I blame it on my father for this addiction, although I know there are many other addictions which can be worse to sustain. I’m glad he showed me this one (though I didn’t follow his final news love for viewing Fox’s constant daily rant).Though I liked Lester’s predecessor, I find Lester much more serious in his delivery. I’ve wondered if he has put a burden upon himself as an African American to ALWAYS present himself more seriously than what’s his name. Whatever the case, Lester’s my favorite newscaster since The CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite. To top the great Father Walter, I hate to suggest the solution because it’d require a horrible tragedy or a famous person’s death to make Father Lester to at LEAST wince.

Linking provider

So I was using this and it was working for a while. I linked my tv provider and everything and it was working fine. Well today it wouldn’t let me watch an episode. It kept popping up the “link provider” screen (it does this a lot) I would click the link provider option and it wouldn’t play the episode. It would just go back to the screen where you pick the episode you want to watch. I click the episode and again click the link provider option. I did this several times before I got frustrated. I deleted the app and reinstalled it. I was putting in the tv provider information and once it told me there were issues and to please try again later. I waited a bit and tried it and now it says “external system failure” and I don’t even know what that means. It worked great for a while. I’m just upset that it stopped now.

Oh NBC...

I grew up on NBC. I generally love their shows, from Seinfeld to Superstore. That “ding-ding-ding” is a sound I like. However, this app is disappointing. Why? Because I cannot pay to use it or to not be bothered by commercials. I am a millennial, I have come to love that for 3-5$ dollars more a month I don’t have to watch commercials. Plus a subscription cost, perhaps you can fund some shows that have been cancelled that have a strong following, like giving us some form of closure on Dracula or Emerald City. By subscribing, to the NBC app, you can offer the news or sports as an added bonus. Alas, I can watch NBC news without any subscription. Which is great on your part NBC but as an app business model it’s not ideal. People like watching Nightly News. Additionally, if you want to stream original programming, just allowing people to subscribe at a cost can help fund aforementioned original programs. I had to login, with my mother’s Cable account in order to use the app. Which is annoying, and should be unnecessary as regular TV is dying in most city areas. I would’ve paid 5-7$ a month just to watch NBC (WITH commercials 🙄) and I would’ve paid because it’s the only place to find some programs I love. C’mon NBC, it’s 2021. You should focus on your streaming platform, I thoroughly enjoy Peacock, why aren’t all of your shows on peacock!? I have to use two NBC applications ...

The worse app 2015 - present

This is by far the worse app I have ever used. Unfortunately, I love AGT or I would never use it. The problem with the app is that NBC is too worried about shoving ads down our throats and there in lies the glitch. The most recent problem is when using IOS and trying to mirror to my Roku device, AGT starts over from the beginning even if you move it ahead to where you left off, it jumps back to the beginning and freezes on the same commercial. Over and over. So you have to watch it from the beginning, continuously, or it will freeze and kick you out or just start over. You would think one of the largest media companies in the world could do better however, they continue top my list of worse app every year since 2015.

Very Buggy, No Favorites feature

I have the NBC App on my AppleTV and it is absolutely terrible. Here are my main problems with it: 1. There is no option to “favorite” shows that I frequently watch, so every time I want to watch a specific show, I have to scroll through the entire list of shows or go to search and type in the show I want to watch, which is a pain and is more time consuming than just going to favorites and clicking on the next episode of a favorite show. 2. The app also forces me to verify my cable tv provider every time I want to watch something, whereas every single other app I use only prompts me to do this once upon initial sign in, if at all. 3. Integration with Apple’s TV app is rubbish. The TV app tracks shows you’ve watched throughout various apps and suggests the most recent episode or continuation of episodes/movies that you didn’t finish, all without leaving the home screen. With the NBC app, it usually doesn’t suggest the next episode at all or suggests shows I’ve watched already.4. My last major problem with the app is that it constantly freezes during the episode, so I have to exit the episode and then play it again. It would be nice to watch an episode straight through without issues.I don’t recommend this app. It’s easier just to switch back and forth between my cable box and AppleTV or watch a different network.

America’s got talent

I have been watching this TV show from the very beginning and I have seen some really really awesome talent. I just watched the most recent season 2022 and this is definitely not going to be any different but it may be even more than before. I also love love love the judges on the show Simon, Sophia, Heidi, and Howie. And let’s not forget the MC of the show Terry Crews. Looking forward to this season and always to the finale and the winner. Good luck contestants you all have so much talent. You make us laugh you make a smile. You also make us cry with all of your stories but for all of you who have gone through bad things you are coming up roses on AGT and the hearts of America love you all dearly. Thank you for this opportunity to write a review.

59 plus

Dear Dwayne JohnsonI truly love this Titan games show. My only question is why are we centered around the mid 20s generation? You are truly an inspiration to people to get fit to get healthy and to exercise. The most obese people are people of 50 years and plus. Why not inspire a 50+ titan games or a couples titan games? To me this would be highly inspirational to all of the world. You are an inspiration to many people from your days of wrestling to the days of the Titan games. I myself just turn 59 in the last two years lost 70 pounds you were one of my inspirations to do that. I feel that you would appear to a larger audience and two more of the world if you do something for a midlife generation then something that’s devoted to the younger generation just a thought would love to have feedback Love the show would love to see it get bigger.

Plays back ads perfectly

For the life of me I can’t figure out why NBC can’t get this app to work right. The only video that plays correctly is ads. Content plays for a minute then pauses and plays and you have to force quit the app and reload it to get content to play back properly but of course you’re met with ads again even if you just sat thru some before the app started acting dumb - this is especially common if you pause the app and resume later. It also struggles with changes to orientation after exiting picture-in-picture. Even though my iPad stays in landscape mode when going from PIP to full screen the video rotates into orientation and even after you physically lift and turn the iPad to force it into landscape it doesn’t fully fill the screen like it should. There’s also times when you pause video and you try to resume but the playback controls won’t load. For a company as large as NBC this is embarrassing and it doesn’t inspire me to want to spend money on your services or apps like Peacock if this is what I can expect.
