More ads than TV.. The show selection is really good on the NBC app, however, it has so many ads it’s unwatchable. As a recent example, in order to watch one 24 minute show, I had to watch 10-12 minutes of advertisements with no way to skip any of them. The commercials played before the episode, after the opening credits and throughout the episode. I’d rather purchase the shows I want to watch from iTunes than deal with constant and prolonged advertising for streaming. Some ads are understandable, just like broadcast tv commercials from the days of yore but this is overdoing it. If it weren’t for the constant ads, I’d watch this app all the time. Since the ads have been so long, overwhelming and time consuming, I won’t be using this app again.

Would be awesome if I could actually have a subscription.... My family can’t afford cable, we just use streaming services... I used the app to watch Heroes (one of my all-time FAVORITE shows, I couldn’t believe they had it on the app, as it’s really old, let alone all of the seasons), but when I got to like the 4th episode it said I had to put in my cable information. I looked around and couldn’t find anything allowing me to purchase a subscription. I would seriously pay for this stuff, great shows on here. But there’s no options for subscriptions unless you pay for it through your cable provider. Get with the times NBC, HBO does it, so why can’t you? And taking back The Office when you guys know people won’t be able to watch the content they love on Netflix because you want to somehow make better bank through the cable companies? Really? Not impressed

So glitchy it’s almost unwatchable. I know that “free” means having to sit through a significant number of ads, but I expect to watch them and get back to the show. No such luck. The app constantly glitches and freezes on the ads. A 20-30-second wait for the video to unfreeze is normal. The show glitches, too. I had to restart the show no fewer than 5 times, moving the slider to approximately where I left off, to get it to unfreeze. Even at that, once started you can’t rewind or fast forward because it will jump back to the original start point for that viewing session every time. You have to end and restart. This means I miss portions of the show I am watching. I have the newest, most up-to-date iPhone and am streaming on a fast fiber internet connection that has no issues with any other device or application. Worst app I have run across in a long time.

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.

Apple TV App Terrible. We have this app on our Apple TV and it is AWFUL. It has always had glitches and continues to do so despite updates over the last several years. The menus constantly freeze up, sometimes they never load and you have to restart the app and when it does work it is incredibly slow. It also freezes up our Apple TV for about 15 seconds when you close out of the app. No other app does this on our Apple TV so we know it’s not that. It also glitches at commercials and will play a few seconds of a commercial and then start over several times before completing the commercial. Sometimes you have to pause and un-pause the commercial to get it to play through so you can get back to your show. Wish there was a way to watch a few of my shows that are only available to watch through this app. TERRIBLE.

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.

Fix the Volume and Sound Issues. No other app has these issues. On live TV, the volume is very low. This is an ongoing problem for many, as we were able to find forums for fixing this at some level. But fixing it meant changing a setting on the TV that makes 100% volume similar to 50% on any other app or medium. Hard to enjoy football when the announcers are essentially whispering. Then, if you forget you have turned everything to 100%, you burn your eardrums when you put on any app that does not have this volume issue. The foregoing is about live TV. The app doesn’t have this issue with on demand content. For on demand content: when you cast it, the voices frequently become distorted, resulting in the need to re-cast it. Interestingly, these issues do not present on the Peacock app. Come on NBC. You are a billion dollar company. You have to have someone whose job it is to fix this. In the alternative, give up your contract to host football. If you can’t figure out volume, football may not be your lane.

LOVE NBC. I was born in 1957 so my first experience with Color Television was with the PEACOCK!!! I don’t want to face my day without the crew of the Today show and good strong coffee. I’m a huge Dateline fan. My daughter is almost 40 and she comes over to watch Dateline with me every week. It’s a ritual for us. Getting our weekly hookup with the Amazing KIETH MORRISON IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR WEEK!!! We are both single again and Dateline with Keith is definitely the highlight!!!! You can come over and watch Dateline with us anytime you sexy gentleman!! Even my cat has a fascination with Dateline! Thank you for sharing the wonderful mysteries with us every week all of you at the Dateline Cast. Bev and Denise

Flashback!. Remember streaming TV in 2014?!? The NBC app is like a really bad version of that. Get ready to be so frustrated that you’d rather buy the episode from iTunes than have to use this app. Here’s how it functions: press a button, wait 10 seconds to find out that you’re going to continue to wait. Uh oh! Did you press another button while you were waiting after pressing the first button?!? That’s gonna cost you a whole minute to get back to the main page. The LIVE tv menu is so, so great. So great in fact that you probably can’t figure it out because it doesn’t operate like anything you experience in our physical world. See, you expect an action and reaction in our shared experience. But in this app, that doesn’t apply. There could be a reaction to pressing the down button, or there might not be. Or there might be a whole bunch. You will literally never know. But if you’re wrong you’ll ll have plenty of time to think about as you wait another minute to go back to the previous screen.

Minimize consistently please. Sometimes it’s important to do other things. Requiring that the app be minimized. I know it’s possible. I’ve done it. Regularly. But if I have to try 100x and have successfully minimized maybe five or six times. Maybe I just don’t know the secret. But it makes me want to listen or watch other things. Please advise or please make it easier to do. CBS is looking better every day. Update: I swear whoever develops this app is creating their own job security. With nearly every single update. The app gets worse. Then gets better. In regards to stability and the ability to minimize and do another task. Haven’t been able to minimize after last update. It’s been perfect for the past month. Before that it really sucked. Please stop updating an app that works.

Disappearing Content. I downloaded the NBC app about 1 year ago. Due to personal reasons, I hadn’t watched much tv for a number of years, and I was interested in catching up on some of the shows I’d missed. The app itself works ok aside from a tendency to forget my cable subscription info, forcing me to reinstall the app in order to watched “locked” content (this bug may be corrected now as I haven’t had to reinstall in over a week). I left the app for a time out of frustration, & it now seems that some of the shows I’d been watching have been moved to the Peacock app & placed behind a paywall. It’s a darned shame.

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.

Great but would like to experience watching a new show.... Really enjoying the app. Because of a new show I have never watched. Started watching a show I have never seen. "Taken" I was looking forward to watching "The Blacklist." I could not watch it from Season One since you have to have detailed personal information to get into the last seasons of many shows. Since my husband is out of town and we are in the process of moving, I did not have any cable set up information as in passwords etc... Due to this information required, many shows were limited for me. I am not one to start watching a night time drama series from Season Four. It is pertinent to start from the beginning of a story line.

Astonishingly disappointing. There is nothing like downloading an app and knowing all of the wonderful features that you can have. Unfortunately with this app it's all teasers. Five minutes in the jimmy Fallon, App crashes. Over and over and over and over and over again. It's almost as if Jimmy Fallon doesn't know what a crappy provider he is signed with. I haven't been able to keep current on this show for over a year due to the fact that it literally crashes within five minutes of the show started, which is super awesome there is nothing like thinking hey I could've watch Jimmy Fallon and a celebrity chat the way that they normally do in such a fun playful manner and then just have the app crashed on you over, and over, and over, and over again. Pull it together NBC The way of watching TV has changed dramatically consider keeping up or being pushed out.

Terrible for streaming. “It’s a always fun when we get to watch a little TV between commercials.” - my husband to me as we are trying to watch a show from the middle of the episode. Most times if we don’t finish an entire episode, the app does not save our place (or saves somewhere mid-episode, but not where we actually are). If I am casting to the TV from my phone, most times there is no progress bar on my phone for me to change where we are so I have to disconnect from the TV to find my spot and then re-cast. Every time I slide the progress bar in the episode we have to re-watch a whole round of commercials. Just now, it took about 15-20 minutes (and multiple whole commercial breaks) just to get to our last watched spot. We watched about a minute of the show and then were blasted with another break of commercials. Once we finish this season of the show we’re watching, we’re done with this app for good.

Streaming. Had the app for a few months and it worked great for about a month and then it would constantly make me link my tv provider every time I would turn it on. Sometimes I would have to close the app and reopen it after I linked my provider. There seems to be an operating glitch. That’s so annoying! I stream from Detroit and all of a sudden it started routing my streaming out of Louisiana even when I give permission to access my location. I don’t want to see commercials and news updates from another state during commercial breaks. It’s frustrating that I can’t change any settings. Now the Today Show won’t play when I select it from the menu. The app directs me to a Louisiana news show. I’m done with this app.

Room for improvement. I first used the NBC app when my service providers app on demand was missing recent episodes of Chicago P.D. why IDK but I was able to find and play the missing episodes (others besides Chicago P.D. ) and while I enjoy just being able to access these shows ( and I have no streaming difficulties), I have to agree with some other comments that there COULD be a favorites menu, and NBC could go as far as CBS has and offer subscription access. CBS currently has two subscriber options - one with less commercials (which I found to be an advertising stretch) and the other choice is COMMERCIAL FREE. People WILL pay for commercial free tv, especially if your network airs many of the shows they like to watch. Some things to think about NBC.

"The Voice". The app is good, but please next time try to play your own shows before the uploading: the last two episodes (E23 and E24 – semi-final) of "The Voice" having so much problems, the sound and picture are scattering like 5 or more times! You can see this even at the begging of the show, when Blake Shelton and Trace Adkins singing "Hell Right". And it’s not just me or my device or network connection – I tried to watch this episode on my computer, from browser, on official site (and even tried to find a WebRip of it), the same scattering and freezes. I couldn’t believe that company like that, NBC, uploaded defective copies of the show... I hope you’ll fix this problem soon and the final episodes will be without these problems. P.S. Sorry for my English, it’s not my native language. UPD: The Finale is great, and without glitches. Thank you.

Kill SNL app 4 this?. I loved the snl app but of course NBC Universal had to kill it since they’re launching their entry in the streaming war ‘Peacock’ because what we needed was another way for NBC Universal to make money of consumers through advertising since Comcast/Xfinity is losing customers due to cord cutters getting fed up with increased cost but less content. Whoever came up with your SNL app hopefully was praised cause it was great. Whichever genius chose to cancel it and thought it was a good idea to have it’s content integrated into this app minus the character and actor playlist or the ability took view casts by season shouldn’t be allowed to make big decisions anymore. Well it was fun while it lasted but yet again NBC proves they’re unable to see the value in what they have. Video quality sucked and literally more ads than are tolerable. One after every clip watched yeah this app is being deleted as soon as I hit send on the review.

NBC. Alright then developers see if yo can a reply from this let’s begin nbc app I’ve had it on my phone in past to include tv provider I have altice so that made it a simple sometimes I have trouble but it’s no worries however I have one request maybe if it’s ok if it can add peacock to the app instead of the preview I’ve seen it on my Apple TV of my house same kind thing so maybe merge it together if not it’s no big deal but I was able to watch one of my favorite shows good old law and order svu the classic classic freaking glory of it and since I’m hooked on new one it makes it even better go law and order thanks hope you enjoy my review

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.

Chromecast barely functional.. The only reason I decided to download the app is because the player on the internet doesn’t have a chromecast button, and casting the tab itself in order to view NBC on my tv has a slight lag that I wasn’t happy with. Now the app itself is ok on its own, but again then only reason I downloaded it was for the chromecast feature. When casting, it works fine for the initial cast, however afterwards you cannot control any of the features: Closed captioning, volume, even playing, stopping or switching episodes. Sometimes if you close the app and reopen it the app will work fine for a few seconds, however after that it is not functional again. Defitnely going to uninstall this app and use others that actually work once I’ve caught up on This is Us. Honestly just take a look at ABCs app, obviously their developers were paid more, because there’s is flawless.

Fix The Bugs, PLEASE. I love the app, I love that I can watch past shows, and catch up on newer shows. My problem is that I feel like I spend most of my time watching commercials. Every time I go back to an episode that I was previously watching, I have to fast forward to find my spot. Once I hit play six commercials come on, then I find out I still need to fast forward more. I do, press play, and then six more commercials come on. Does 1 really need to see a Walmart commercial 26 times a day? Walmart is the last place I would shop LOL PLEASE FIX the jumping that happened during episodes (while in playback mode), and the fact that it will not save my location within a show. I don’t have any issues with any of the other apps that I watch/stream on. They all work fine. It’s just this buggy NBC app.

Good content & no additional charges!. First, much of the content requires you to sign in. If your provider is not on the list, then you can get a pass by giving them your email address. Enough places have my email already so I passed on that one. Xfinity-Comcast (mine) is not in the provider list - I don't get that one since they're NBC's parent company and has a huge subscriber base so they're denying access to a lot of people. Edited 8/17- the quick developer response really helped - thank you! Content for shows go back more than a week so you might find something you didn't know you missed plus you can watch episodes of old shows without having to subscribe with a credit card - much appreciated.

Commercials. I don’t have cable and use this app to watch mostly Days of our Lives, I been watching it for many years now and I need to continue watching so I don’t get lost on their stories, but at times I want to delete the app because it plays so many commercials ( WHY SO MANY COMMERCIALS )? makes me want to stop watching anything in this app . It’s September of 2022 and I need to say that I’m very disappointed with NBC for letting go of #daysofourlives only cause peacock wants to make money since it looked that it wasn’t. I been a Fan to Days for over 35 years and I’m so hurt for this decision #NBC took

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.

SHAME ON NBC. Back in the 1960’s to the 1990’s, nbc began creating great shows. Today, it’s 2024 and tv shows are streaming, (paid or free) except for nbc. For viewers who like 60% of your content, this app is ideal, not interested in news, talk shows or junk. Today, nbc is charging consumers to watch the “next episode”. For free, viewers can watch anything else, except what is desired. Did advertisers bail on you ? I’m deleting the app. I enjoyed the reboot of NIGHT COURT. I refuse to pay you for the latest episode. My firm decision was made in seeing Season 2, episode 7. Good thing I didn’t pay to watch such a terrible episode. Humor is 4 stars, network is 0 stars. Special events or sports should pay extra. Half of the shows are old/vintage originals or reboots with 2024 characters. NEW CONTENT OR FREE. Thanks for reading this and being fabulous, back in the day.. GREED GOT TO YOU TOO … FOR SHAME

Best network app. This is the best app of the big 4- ABC, NBC, FOX and CBS. I'm not constantly annoyed by commercials that go on too frequently and forever and I like how I can go back 10 seconds at a pop, like with Netflix, to watch a part I missed. And I can go back further in the show without being forced to rewatch the commercial over again, which ABC makes you do. Speaking of commercials, they're varied, unlike ABC which show the same commercial again. And FOX's " you can choose to interact with commercials to see less of then" pop ups on the screen are truly annoying. This is the best of the network apps.

Love the network, hate the app. I’m a huge bravo fan, I love the real housewives, vanderpump rules, etc. Unfortunately I sometimes have to use this app instead of peacock to watch the episodes faster, which would be fine if the app worked at all. Someone really has to get this app together, the past couple or years I’ve used it it’s been nothing but laggy, constantly needs restarted, constantly does this thing where if you watch any show for too long all the audio will slow down and start making this weird noise and needs to be restarted again. If you click continue watching on the Home Screen of a show you want to watch it’s impossible to go to the details of the show without having to search it instead of clicking on it… just lots and lots of issues. Please fix it, there’s nothing more annoying than trying to watch a new episode of your show and having to restart it every few minutes…

DirecTV Login Issues. I have the NBC app on my Apple TV and my iPhone 7. I also subscribe to DirecTV and pay $145 for the DirecTV package which includes the NBC channel. I’m logged into my TV provider on the app. When I try to watch an episode onDemand of my shows I get an error message that says that this channel isn’t included in my TV provider package, please contact your provider. I called DirecTV and they said they have no control over your app. Why am I getting this message when I pay for your channel through DirecTV????? Please tell me how to fix this. It is extremely irritating to $145 a month for TV and not be able to watch what I want onDemand on my apple devices.

Shows ***** / Commercials —*** (Negative 3*), 😍🙃😉. Give us a choice — 1 or 2. For viewers to decide (+. A + B are for your execs to decide.) 1. free with commercials. A. Cut out 1-3 of same commercials playing repeatedly for each of your most popular shows/series in the free version + add them in between shows on screen, while the viewer has not pushed play on next show /choosing next show — could also have other shows play silently next to commercials to choose. B. Delete the 1-3 commercials in each of the most popular shows/ show series + do not put them back in at all, since you will be making money on the “no commercials viewers”. 2. Viewers that want the option will Pay $3-5 US dollars or equivalent , — [you cannot get Greedy—you know it would backfire on you] a small amount to simply have zero commercials on most shows, if not all regular shows. Commercials on special shows could run at the beginning + middle+ end only for snack / potty breaks. Your App would be 5 Stars➕ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩💖for most/ all viewers if you used my suggestions‼️. I know it would be over the 🌙 moon for me!‼️❣️💖⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩💖!

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.

Great access. I love that I have access to all of the NBC series’ and can choose older episodes to catch up. The one detractor I have found so far are the constant plugs for all the current NBC shows. The first 2-3 times I see a plug for a show I feel they have garnered my interest. After that I am starting to get annoyed. Please mix it up, I feel like I don’t want to watch Brooklyn 99 now after watching the same plug 10 times while binging 4 episodes of AP Bio. Maybe have multiple clips to plug a show to mix it up a bit. That being said it was awesome getting to delve into a show I was not able to watch last year. Who knows, maybe next year I will be watching Brooklyn 99 episodes and the NBC app will provide different clips of the new show they are plugging at that time.

59 plus. Dear Dwayne Johnson I 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. Gary

Location and Sound Issues - No Response. I’ve submitted two support tickets regarding issues I’m having with the app live stream location and audio and I’ve received no response. The app keeps picking up a location and NBC affiliate that’s an hour away from me, bypassing the affiliate where I’m located. To make it worse, the affiliate station’s live stream has audio issues and there’s a clicking noise that repeats in the background every few seconds. It’s incredibly annoying. I’ve tried logging out of the app, removing it from my phone, shutting down my phone, re-downloading the app, and forcing an update of my location. Nothing has worked. And again, no response from NBC technical support. Can’t recommend this app and looks like I’ll have to start watching another morning news show.

No enough service. So I’m writing this review. As I have cut cable tv off and just using app. I’m a little upset that I can’t watch the News or shows I want with like a subscription like other providers. Also it’s a little ridiculous that you only give one free news option to watch live, nothing else unless you have a provider this isn’t included some of the tv shows I can watch. I chosen to stop using cable as I travel a lot and have to go out of the country and using my subscription is easier and less expensive. And I can watch on the go with my phone, tablet, or computer… Now I’m losing out on a lot of my shows I love and update with my favorite New anchor because I don’t have a Service Provider!! Please NBC do better and come up with a subscription option that give everyone what they want with out a service provider.

“Don’t steal my information”. I saw the thing in the settings that said don’t sell my information witch concerned me so then I clicked it and I said that you have to download a pdf for it not to sell your information I tried to do that and for some reason it would not let me download it so I was going to delete my account/profile so it just would make things easier... it would not allow me to delete my account/profile in fact it wasn’t even an option so then there was a button that said you could submit a question or contact them so they could help with any questions and the app would not let me do this. I’m not very happy at all with this app and would not recommend. All I could end up doing was logging out my profile and delete the app witch I don’t think even makes a difference. Not happy and would not recommend if there was a 0 Stars I would use it.

Why do I need a profile?. I like to catch up on shows I had to miss or just watch old reruns. I currently use antenna for my tv. As per federal mandate, I can get local broadcast over the air for free. The network gets paid from my watching the commercials that sponsor the programming. When I watch the app, I still have to watch the commercials but the more recent shows are locked. Now you want information from me to unlock them? what a scam! you’ve already aired the show for free, I still have to watch the commercials, and now you want personal information about me too?! I don’t think so!

Worst TV App. It’s a shame that this company was allowed the broadcast rights to the premier league soccer. NBC app never works and always glitches to where you can’t watch live tv on any streaming device, how can you have this main tv app be so bad when your NBC sports Gold (another program I have to PAY for for access to Premier league soccer) for the most part works fine. This has been an ongoing issue for over a year and still no fix. Consumers pay hundreds of dollars to them and they can’t correct issues that don’t have with other companies like ESPN app. If I am required to pay for access to premier league games you should allow me the ability to watch all games thru your companies various platforms, not having your NBC sports channel competing with the main NBC channel. I’m sure if I was lodging a complaint to watch American football it would be fixed quickly but for soccer (the most popular WORLD sport) they won’t do anything about it. NBC I hope you see this and have a fix before the new year starts or you can expect more viewers will reach out to the premier league to have them look for new partners for broadcast rights!

What did you do???. Every day at 6:30 I open this app to catch the evening news while I’m wrapping up at work. Gotta make sure we aren’t at war with someone. Today I opened the newly updated app and I’m looking at Housewives of Beverly Hills. Ugh, what did you do? I see all the other “networks of NBC” but not just my local NBC station. Can I not watch it anymore? I noticed you didn’t broadcast the first story on Facebook Live today either. Are you not showing that program online anymore? Update 7/10 - Well, the local station comes on now - it still says “Housewives...” but I can see the news. Or I could. Now, nothing comes up. I can tell every time you update this app, it all stops working. Do app developers get paid by the number of updates they make to their app. STOP updating it, it worked fine before you started messing with it.

NBC26WGBA of Green Bay or NBC TV 4 News WTMJ of Milwaukee. I Really love this NBC streaming app for ALL shows from Live TV By tracking it with time and always stay up to date on NBC26 WGBA TV Network channel station Green Bay Wisconsin Area TV channel 26 News with Appleton and Sturgeon Bay to include NBC TV 4 WTMJ of Milwaukee especially the updated headlines with News weather and Sports for everything from Northeast and East Central regions or even the Southeast to ALWAYS get covered by 26 News of WGBA right in Green Bay or Milwaukee Wisconsin from TMJ4 News today at 5:00 to 6 in the Early Morning and 12:00High Noon including 4:00 to 5:00 and 6:00 or even 10:00 News to end everyday each week

Need to exclude credits. It’s so frustrating that out of maybe 40 episodes of a series, that you can only watch al few because you are locked out. All this is doing is making your customers disappointed about your service, henceforth, they just don’t bother with NBC. Have you not read your reviews..? You should, because they speak even louder to my complaint. You have a lot of great shows so if someone wants to watch isn’t that what you’re suppose to provide? So, please fix this and make your customers happy and satisfied. SERVICE brings repeat business. Don’t get away from this fact. And now, I can’t use my own nickname on my review because it’s taken????? WHAT? So, why are we not allowed to use our own. You seriously need to get rid of whoever is responsible for this app and get someone who understands business models. Service and honesty. Start there.

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.

User-friendly but needs work. The app is user-friendly and I love the stream quality. I love having all the shows available to stream from anywhere. But when casting to my Chromecast the app often forces the Chromecast to disconnect. It happens at varying times in the show usually after watching five minutes of ads. When it reconnects and I go back into the app I have to rewatch the ads when to get to the section that I was watching before it disconnected. It happens with the Bravo (also under NBC) app as well. But it doesn’t happen with my Chromecast and any other apps. I really hope that your developers can fix this issue soon. Once they do it’ll be an excellent app.

TO. GRACE TK. Ok I’m gonna feel really stupid if your post was YEARS ago!!!! But anyway I saw your post and though I know I’m on nbc’s app page blah blah blah!!! But just to point out if your in “CALIFORNIA” and if your a full time “Student”you can get internet service for like $10 a month... not only do you get internet w/WiFi But you also get phone service and cable as well. I didn’t know anything about this until my son whom is 17 now! Had authorized for the installation up at the families cabin this summer since he decided to do summer school online. :)) anyway I thought I’d share that with maybe it’s something to look into where your at...

NBC App. Trying to watch my favorite: The Blacklist. Unfortunately, it’s nearly impossible to experience any flow of the narrative. So many commercials, which almost always freeze, requiring exiting the app and then rebooting the show. That may or may not take you to where the story left off; however, more inane prescription drugs advertisements must be endured first. If you attempt to use the back or forward buttons, the app either freezes or you must rewatch the ads previously viewed. This leaves me with a negative interaction with the content and a reminder to avoid NBC in all of its forms when possible for wasting my time and ruining what used to be a wonderful program to which I looked forward each week. Not any longer. The writers, actors, and directors deserve more than to have their art pieced apart between carnival barkers hocking medication.

MajrKrunch on the rancid aftertaste of ads.. I realize that ads pay the costs of airtime. That said; could it be that, once I have seen the ad for A) $0.87 pseudo-viagra (too late, I’m 79), B) the opportunity to sell any $100,000 or greater life insurance policy, or. C) a way to get a colon test kit ad FOR THE 1,000TH TIME ,… the ad would be replaced by 1) a bunch of puppies playing “H ey, smell this!”… 2) kittens just being kittens … 3) parrots singing show tunes… ofr… 4) my mom praising Rush Limbaugh {luckily, they are BOTH dead}?? Please, I am crazy enough as it is! Did I not mention the lady who joyfully screams at her peak volume and pitch the fact that she spent greater than SIXTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS for a fiberglass walk-in bathtub. Her actor/husband doesn’t appear in any way joyful, Funny, that.

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...

Link to Provider Feature a Major Limiting Factor. Terrible business model. A lot of people use these apps because they are cable cutters, cord cutters, or whatever the proper vernacular is these days. The bottom line is that if you limit what people can watch because they do not have a cable provider, which I have not had in over a decade and never will again, it is not going to motivate them to get one. You lose viewers that way. In an age where most people use devices other than a TV to watch favorite shows, you would THINK networks like NBC would catch on, drop the provider requirement, and increase the amount of viewers on the platform. I noticed a week or so ago that I can no longer access episodes that I would have been able to watch (eventually). This is unfortunate because that's one less person being subjected to the constant barrage of advertisements that interrupt the show. I am sure advertisers will catch on...

The Equalizer Binge Watching. After hearing the movie was based on the tv show, I had to see what I missed so many years ago. The show is awesome and I keep wondering why I never heard of it before now. The app is wonderful. It could be better if you get rid of the ads. You should only advertise your shows, which by the way, I found out about New Amsterdam. This show is the best medical show I have ever seen and I have seen them all. This show is sooooo underaged. NBC please find a new promoter for your tv shows because they are doing a horrible job at getting the word out to your audience....

The app is TERRIBLE!. The app is SO bad, I want to hurry up and finish binge watching “This Is Us” so that I don’t have to deal with it. I really want to watch other shows, but not on this app. The app sometimes shuts down before it even opens. Sometimes the app lets you stream multiple episodes, but it seems like you cannot make any sudden changes, like switch devices or move the Chromecast to another TV. The app also doesn’t always give you the capability to rewind the episodes, just the pause button. Why NBC? I have tried using the app on my iPad (which is a previous generation) and casting episodes. The shows never load sometimes no matter how often I open and close the app. Then I started casting from my iPhone (iPhone 7, more updated of course than my iPad) and I am STILL having the same issues. It is NOT the Chromecast because the “Ready to cast” screen shows up just fine. It’s the app. What’s going on NBC? We waste a lot of time trying to load up the shows and we get nothing on this app sometimes. It’s very unenjoyable when there’s amazing content to watch and one cannot access them properly!

App performance. I normally stream shows I really watch and love.... although I enjoy the programs, I have a problem with your annoying messages showing on my screen. I have always been connected to WIFI..... why your site insist I should be connected to cellular...... what's up with that?..... a failure on your part that needs fix?..... it would be nice and enjoyable to watch the program without annoying messages. I am sure there are plenty of people having the same issue. Other than that, NBC app is great..... just get rid of that pop up!

Outstanding. I’ve been watching dateline I feel like my whole life. It’s an awesome program I really enjoy enjoy the fact that it’s had its long run. Lester Holt always does a great job all the journalists are fantastic. it’s good to learn about different things are going around the United States with crimes that are committed. anyone gonna be a victim. for me it’s just it’s a small reminder in my mind just that you should always be mindful of your surroundings and go with your gut it’s usually never wrong. Thank you, Adam Hagen

Can’t turn off CC. I downloaded this app a few weeks ago and was excited to watch season two of Trial & Error. However, the CC setting is apparently broken - no matter what I try, the captions will NOT go off. I’ve tested a few other shows, the problem continues there. Based on a google search, lots of people are having this problem but I haven’t seen any solution yet... Help?? I tried reaching out to customer support but the email was rejected because “the address does not exist.” Would really appreciate this being corrected - I’m not going to waste my time trying to watch a series when I can’t see a quarter of the screen because of captions that I can’t turn off.

I had no problem, and enjoyed watching.. I have never opened this app before but wanted to. I'm now stuck on rehab from broken bones and was thrilled how easy it was. All I needed was my cell number from the account. It also works with knowing the email associated with the account or the account number. From there I got steps that walked me through. And what a life saver from boredom!!! I got to catch up on my favorite shows I missed, and can start the season I didn't watch. I was able to pause, and come back to start where I left. Yes, there are 3 commercials to watch during a break, but since this is a free service, I did not mind.

Worst App ever downloaded. If I could give this minus stars , I would give it -5. Spent 3 hrs trying to watch a 90 minute show. Stopped at least 50 times, every restart took me back to the beginning , or who knows where, always had to rewatch multiple commercials over and over. I don’t often review unless it’s really good or really bad. This is the worst. I have a great broadband connection. No excuses for this. I know NBC is extorting providers for higher fees , but this is not they way to make their mark or convert anybody over. I sadly, really have to reconsider whether to even get involved in the content of some of there good shows, it may just not be worth it, with all the other streaming services out there. Disgusting!

Good app, plenty room for improvement.. The app works well unless you have to pause what you’re watching and resume later. The app tends to ‘not’ resume and a restart Is often required to get back to viewing the stalled show. Also, there are way too many commercials. I can get the same shows On Demand with only 2 commercials per break or skip them altogether on dish network. With this app, there’s no skipping or even fast-forwarding during regular playback. The only way to advance forward is by using the slider and if you skip past any commercial break, you’re forced to watch those commercials anyway. For old shows, some three or more years old, this is both unreasonable and unnecessary.

NBC APP ROCKS!!. This week we have are the recipients of hurricane Irma. We live in Atlanta and we're fortunate enough to not have suffered the damage there's so many other people did. The power only flickered once or twice and that was it. However, due to the extreme coverage by submitting networks of this hurricane, I missed my episode of midnight in Texas. Needless to say I was very unhappy. Then I remembered I had the NBC app on my phone. I pulled it up, cast up to my chrome cast and VOILA'! I was able to sit back and be completely caught up on my latest episode without interruption at all.

Nice- If it worked properly.. Every time I open the app, I have to “link” my tv provider. Not once a month, not once a week, and not even once a day. It is every single time the app is opened to use, regardless if it is still running in the background. The provider can still be shown as “linked,” but I still have to select “unlink” in order for the app to not ask me to use “credits” in order to watch shows. Note selecting “unlink” does not actually unlink the provider because the NBC app doesn’t have that kind of control over providers stored in Settings. It’s obnoxious toggling to the “My Profile” screen every single time I want to watch a show. Additionally, the “Favorites” list is there sometimes and then can be completely missing in an instant, and that’s if the app doesn’t freeze in the “Home” screen time begin with. Overall this new app format is garbage compared to the one that had the tabs listed on the left side of the screen. I have come to wonder if anyone from NBC actually uses their own app. Also- I hope their developers make significant improvements with this app before NBC starts charging viewers for it.

No Way to Earn Credits. When I downloaded the app, I was given three credits to use. Fine, I thought, I’ll see what it costs to get more afterwards. But there’s no way to buy or earn credits — at least not that I can find anywhere on the app or online. I don’t even see a way to purchase a subscription separate from a cable account, which is absurd for those of us living where broadcast is hard to get. If I want to watch something from a broadcast channel (which is supposed to be freely accessible over the airwaves), then why can’t I use the app instead?! It’s not like the app doesn’t have commercials, so this makes no sense. If they’re not going to even give me a way to literally give them my money, then I guess I’ll just start watching shows on other networks.

Really disappointing app. This is a very disappointing app. At first I thought it would be great to be able to really take in the olympics this way. Unfortunately they didn’t think this one out very well. First most annoying aspect is that it constantly has a screen stating that coverage will begin shortly yet you can leave it on for a half hour and nothing happens. When you look in the schedule section it just says live. Come on! People have lives. You didn’t think to maybe put a count down or the actual time it will begin in the schedule?? 2nd most annoying is that there is very little actual coverage between commercial breaks. They’ll show one ski run and then switch to a couple commercials. Come on! I know you have to pay the bills, but you’ve got to think it out better than that.

Phone calls stop app. The only problem I’m having is that when I get phone call notifications and decline the call, the show has the pause button in the middle of the screen which means it should be playing but it’s not, it’s paused. So I have to leave the app and go elsewhere in the phone and then go back and reopen the app and then play the show again. It’s quite time consuming, especially when those irritating robot scammers can call 3 or 4 times within one hour show. I updated the app two days ago but it hasn’t made any difference.

The Blacklist. I live in a nursing home. It’s very difficult to watch tv shows as they happen because you never know when someone is going to interrupt you. This is why I wait until the next day to watch The Blacklist. I can pause it during those interruptions. During the first two episodes of Season 7, there have been audio problems. I took a listen to other NBC shows and other shows on other apps with no problems. It’s just The Blacklist. I even deleted and redownloaded the app and the problem is still there. Any solutions????

A great network. This is one app that is fantastic. More apps should be this great. As far as the commercials are concerned are understandable. Without commercials there would be no free shows. Someone has to pay the company that is working so hard to please the audience. I actually like the commercials for one reason. On regular tv the commercials are so depressing to watch. All they show is furneral, life Insurance, people dying and more depressing things of that nature NBC shows commercials that are more uplifting and are very short I like that. So keep up the great work and love the shows.

Rating of The Blacklist. The Blacklist was one of the most exciting, spell-binding, captivating, all-consuming TV series I have watched since Boston Legal. And it is the only one that I have put on my calendar and changed my plans for to make sure I definitely was available to watch it on its first run even though I could easily have recorded it and watched it at my leisure. It was so exciting and dramatic and well-played that I wouldn't dare miss it and take a chance on the VCR not working properly. James Spader is, in my opinion, the greatest actor of this day and Blacklist the greatest series!!!

Where Did the Show Go?. I used to look forward to watching the Hoda and Jenna show in its entirety at the end of the day. You got your money from the commercials I had to watch ... Now I only have access to clips... You require too much personal information on Peacock so that’s not an option... I would have given the app a better score over the summer. Even though you didn’t give me access to every show, it was a whole lot better than nothing. Now I’m pretty disappointed that I can’t ever watch the whole show anymore.

News about CHILDREN and DISTANCE LEARNING. I am a loyal watcher of NBC News and am totally sick of the one sided stories you show about children and their MOMS who HATE Distance Learning. Today you showed a MOM ( who wasn’t even located in the LA AREA) who has a child with ADHD and did NOT LIKE being her CHILDS PERSONAL AIDE, all day at home. But the impression was that ALL CHILDREN need to be Returned to SCHOOLS, no matter the safety of Children or STAFF, immediately Because their MENTAL HEALTH is being PERMANENTLY DAMAGED.!!!! Really. My DAUGHTER who works for HART DISTRICT and teaches AP ENVIRONMENTAL BIOLOGY and Son- In-Law who works for LAUSD and teaches AP ECONOMICS and AMERICAN HISTORY both are doing DISTANCE LEARNING successfully, and have constant feedback and interaction with their students see no such issues. MY Granddaughters who are in 1st and 3rd grades are doing DISTANCE Learning and are doing well. Their computer skills have become great and they enjoy being home. They have constant social Interaction with friends on zoom and get out on multiple breaks during the day. PLEASE PLEASE stop these negative isolated stories about people who cannot cope with change. MOST SCHOOL DISTRICTS have help available

Episodes should be free. I feel if you have the app you should be able to watch all NBC episodes. They shouldn't be locked. Not everyone pays for other servers. I am finally getting to watch This is Us from the beginning. The NBC app stopped the free episodes- If you want people to watch your current shows, all episodes should be available to view. Who wants to start a show that's been on for two years?? Other than this gripe I like the app. I love the blacklist and we usually can't get a good signal, so I love being able to watch it the next day thru the app.

This App is the WORST!!!. This App constantly is asking me to link with my cable partner even though I’ve done it 100’s of times and tell it to “remember me.” I pay over $300 a month for cable; it would be nice if I didn’t have to login every time I want to watch mobile. But that’s not near the worst part of the app. It CONSTANTLY is glitchy and WON’T EVEN LET ME LINK WITH MY PROVIDER. I get the spinny wheel of death for a few seconds then it acts like I never clicked on link provider. I’ve tried going into settings to link and it does the same thing. I’ve e-mailed them and they know it’s an issue but 2 years later it still does it. Makes me wonder how they’re streaming service Peacock is going to be. Currently it doesn’t feel like NBC gives 2 sh**ts about investing in newer technology or fixing bugs on old ones.

Poor and irritating commentary. Morning joe is most negative reporting one can see and hear. Things are so out of context that they are lies. You can not like our president but he never given any credit for anything he may have done or said that has aided our country. Get over this personal dislike. I don’t like to watch or listen to him but I do look where our country is due to some of his business acumen. I would like to hear what some of your people would have done in this particular crisis if they had been president. Not one that I have seen has asked this question of their guest. Glad I have other choices to watch and I do believe there are better times ahead which I have not heard out of the mouths of this show’s vitriolic voices and opinions.

“Amazing app”. The commercials are the worst I’ll be spending my time at Netflix right now. With no adds, and great shows it’s fabulous! I was hoping I could watch Ellen’s Game Of Games on a wonderful free app in my room because I’m sick. I am not allowed downstairs when I’m sick and I’m missing my favorite shows. So.............…….……… I want a good app with a fair amount of adds. There is like a hundred adds. Idea, how about you put 5 adds in the end of the episode. Or better yet, let us fast forward. I will be watching my new favorite show , Lucky Dog on the CBS app. ( little trick. When you come to just before the start of adds fast forward to after that black line in between the white bar that tells you how long the show is ) now you can’t do that on this app. ——. LivvyLovesLlamas

You’re supposed to be reviewing the app bro. I love NBC. I love more shows on NBC probably more than any other major media. But this app is terrible. Their streaming platform is hands down.. the absolute worst. All these reviews saying how much they love a certain show and why is not relevant or helpful. Fix your app. It’s slow, glitchy, and has terrible rewind and playback in general. Please, please fix this so I can watch shows that I love too that aren’t on anymore and are only offered *legally* through your site/app. You only have a good overall rating because of very old and very irrelevant reviews.

Fantastic App - Opportunity to easily watch missed shows. Easy to use app. Can watched missed shows without agreeing to 50 pages of legalese, additional charges, or having a cable tv provider. Indicates which episodes have been watched. If you have to stop mid-show, you can resume exactly where you left off. Has interesting clips. Zoey’s Playlist is my new favorite show. Great to have something positive to watch in these challenging times. I will be watching more NBC shows since it is easy to catch up if you miss any episodes. Thank you!!

Just get Netflix.. I would have actually used this app if I didn’t need a TV provider. If I even had such a thing, I would not be getting the app on my phone. Why the hell does NBC put out an app if they are going to need a TV provider for it? That makes no sense! Just watch it on your TV then! This is the reason SO many people don’t have cable anymore...because its pointless and unreasonable. Just pay for streaming services. They are WAY cheaper, don’t require stupid TV providers and have SO MUCH CONTENT. NBC ISN’T ACTUALLY FREE if they require us to use a TV provider to watch episodes on the app...The CW doesn’t require that...CBS doesn’t either. Almost all other apps don’t. I hope NBC loses a LOT of money and becomes the next Blockbuster...because more and more people are cutting their cable.

Is my iPad or the app?. I love this app, but there r some things that make me sooo annoyed 1. The sound, I don't know if it is my iPad or the app that makes me have trouble with the volume. But the thing is that I alway need to make the volume the loudest it can be then slowly make it quieter then repeat that about 20 times and when I hear it I want to make it more quite because it is too loud then I need to repeat the entire thing once more. It might not be my iPad because I have no problem with the volume on you tube 2. There r too many adds. I love to watch Harry Potter with my cousin, and we would both agree that there r too many adds. Another thing that made me even more angry is that u can't skip or cancel the adds. Plz do something about it, I would like to enjoy my movie without to much adds Those to r two things that annoy me so pls fix it but mostly the second one because I'm not sure about the first one because it might just be my iPad I love watching movies on this app just pls fix those. Thank you so very much

Give and take. I like that it’s free and there are lots of choices, however watching them is frustrating. If you pause the show or switch screens briefly on your phone, you have to go back and start the show over. The reason you have to start over is the screen goes black and none of the buttons respond. When you have to start over, it always goes back to the beginning of the show. It does not start back where you left off. Needless to say it’s frustrating to say the least.

Serious issues. Some of my fave shows are on nbc, but brutal to watch on this app... commercials just start playing whenever, and parts of shows will be missed because of it. Ive had shows come back from a supposed commercial break and its the end of the show. And then you have to start all over again if you want to find the missing parts. Even had a show jump 15 minutes ahead right while the show was streaming... i dont get it. Took me over 2 hours to watch a 1 hour show and see all the video. Never had this problem on any other network’s app. I dont want to resort to bootlegged internet video, but if this app dont get fixed soon, im going to have to dump it! Stupid ridiculous!!

Great App!!. I love this app, and I have not had to use my TV provider’s password, yet. I’ve only watched Days of Our Lives on it so far, and it’s been smooth. I tried to watch a movie once and was prompted for my AT&T password - which I don’t remember, so I skipped the movie. However, I will soon begin watching HOUSE, yes, House. I totally forgot how cool that series was until I rediscovered it through this app. Once in a while it buffers, but nothing comes without pain, right? It’s better than staying at home and staring at the walls, these days, eh. Thank you, NBC

App review. This is a great app to watch my shows when I’m away from home. I still say they should make it a free app, as in not making someone go through their cable provider login. Advertisers are getting way more ad time, because when I am at home or watching a show I DVR’d, I fast forward through the commercials. On this app, you can’t. Cable is a dying industry, just like blockbuster and other video stores. Most everyone streams shows to their devices now. It would behoove tv streaming apps to open them up and let the ad money roll in.

Fix it jesus. Worst streaming app of all the channels. Constantly disconnects from chrome so you can’t rewind, doesn’t remember where you left off, I spent 20 minutes once trying to rewind 30 seconds, and now - is the only app that doesn’t pick up on my chrome so I have to get up and restart chrome, my TV, AND my phone before the cast to chrome option even shows up, I’m so tired of it I literally just move on to something else. No amount of refactoring will save this glitchy, slow, demoralizing app. Just toss out the entire codebase and start from scratch, and this time, preferably with non-overseas developers. Yes it’s that obvious. And whatever money you’re saving on cheap developers, you’re losing a lot more in frustrated viewers moving onto other apps like I’m about to do for the 2nd time tonight.

Casting starts the show at the start. This app is very frustrating. I finally realized that to use ChromeCast you have to start the program on your phone before telling the system to Cast it. Clunky...but ...I got used to it. But, beyond frustration is that though you can resume a show if you’ve been watching it on your phone, it won’t ‘resume’ if you hit the Cast button. Since you can’t use forward that means you have to watch the entire episode again. I was 35 minutes into an episode when I got sleepy. This morning I have to start the episode over to see it on my television. Why can’t you simply resume AND Cast? As others say...Netflix has this figured out. Why can’t NBC?

Complete AppleTV Airplay Fail. Every Sunday night, LIKE CLOCKWORK, I try to use the app to stream the football game, and then entire first half of the game is spent dealing with the app constantly crashing and repeatedly connecting and disconnecting from the AppleTV air play. It's the most frustrating thing ever. I'm assuming most people using this app to stream content are mostly doing so directly on their devices. But when attempting to air play content (at least NFL games) from the app, it's terrible. I feel like this could be solved if your AppleTV app was capable of streaming live tv. I still for the life of me can't understand why it doesn't. I really hope your tech team is working on both of these incredibly frustrating elements.

Great but one complaint. Please fix the background/pause bug! When you switch, press the power button to turn the screen off, or any other reason the app goes to the background while still playing video... It will pause the video but not allow you to press play and continue watching. You have to restart the video every single time! Very annoying! You need to fix this bug so when the app goes to the background while playing you can continue watching without having to restart the show or app.

This app has so many glitches. I’ve just started using this app to watch Good Girls and This is Us. In the middle of playing, it will have a pop up that says “sorry there is a playback error” so I’ll have to completely exit the app and reopen for it to start playing again. Another glitch is that it tells me I don’t have any playing credits, when I have already connected the app to my Xfinity service. When I go to link the provider, it goes to the next page like it’s supposed to and the page is blank. I have to do this two or three times to begin watching my shows. I don’t understand why it doesn’t just stay connected. I love being able to use the app to watch my shows, I just wish it were more efficient.

Absolutely ridiculous. I am appalled.. This is a joke. It’s not even funny how ridiculous this app is. I have it for one sole reason. To watch Phillies baseball on their home broadcast. I kid you not I pay $200 a year for cable and I have to use it to sign into this garbage app, and then it doesn’t work half the time. I’m not exaggerating either. This is a joke. People get paid just so that this app doesn’t work? It’s insane how this can happen. And they’re wondering why cable and baseball are dying. I’m not surprised. I can watch the exact same thing I am trying to watch, and I can do it for free on a pirating website with sports livestreams. It’s ridiculous how the app is laid out as well with sports never being on the front page when that’s all I would ever even consider using the app for

Sound issues. I’ve never felt the need to write a review on an app but every single time I use it I have to open and close the app multiple times, sometimes I even delete it and redownload it and sign back in for it to still not work… there’s no sound coming from any video playback no matter what I do… any regular show, any live show, nothing… you get absolutely nothing then BAM one random time it works! If you have to pause or exit out of the main screen for any reason at all it’s gone again and you have to restart the process… this is the most annoying thing in the world. I can see the show, can’t hear ANYTHING at all… I wish it wasn’t the only app that aired the shows I like because I would delete it in a second and never ever look back.

“Upgrade” ruined video aspect on NBC shows!!. After using the app for months, suddenly about 12pm on 9/1/23 I was forced Upgrade and afterwards I could hear audio but was UNABLE to see the video aspect instead it was fuzzy and whitened out, and continuing about 9 hours later!😠I tried different episodes of the same show then tried other shows and was the same thing; more ironic is that other network shows on the app still works, so it’s ONLY the visual on nbc shows! Hopefully it’s just temporary while all the kinks are worked out bc otherwise NBC is incompetent, and since the only NBC show I watch is AGTalent I give this app ❌❌❌❌ Lol. This is why I hate app upgrades because I find it mostly brings complications and messes things up!

Horrible app. This app has always had major issues, notably! If your mirroring to a tv the app freezes up on commercials. You need to shut it all the way down, plus shut your tv down to get it off the frozen commercial. Now if your watching on full screen on you phone and you go to Picture in Picture. When you try to go back to full screen the video is not on the screen and can not be moved to the screen. Again you have to close the app and go back into it to go back to full screen viewing. Like they built this app with the same mindset as their news coverage, don’t worry about quality or facts just get it out to the consumer no matter how wrong it is!

Stop complaining about free TV. This app is great because it let’s you watch TV, newish episodes, without having a cable subscription. Yes there are commercials, but again this is free! The one thing that I really don’t like is that when I just watched a set of commercials, and the show starts up again, if I missed something and rewind, it’s really easy to rewind too far and then I have to watch all of the commercials again. Commercials should be a onetime pass in my opinion, that is, after you watched a set of commercials, you should be able to rewind to previous sections without having to sit through the same commercials again.

Thanks for the inconvenience. This app use to work just fine with my iPad using iOS 12. Now someone had the bright idea to update the app which requires a new iOS operating system. This may not be a problem for many people with disposable income or the ability to purchase the latest products but for me it’s a problem. I’m living on my retirement income and my iPad was giving to me as a gift from my family. I’m not going to inform any of them of the inconvenience that I need to either get a updated version of the iPad or purchase a television. I like living with only what I need to maintain my lifestyle. My iPad was my only device for entertainment and communication....now thanks to someone’s brilliant idea for a system update it no longer works for me. Thank for the Inconvenience.

Work on these and you’re golden. Dealing with the same 5 sets of 3 minutes worth of ads per episode is bad as it is but understandable because we ARE watching great stuff for free but then the credit/ key situation is a whole new level. To watch a short 2 series show with 29 episodes total required a BUNCH of fake emails I had to make and delete. And the fact that there is no other way to get more other than “connecting to a tv provide” is bs. Other than the ungodly amount of ads and dealing with keys, this app is still pretty good. It’s free and there are shows on it that are not on other apps. I’m sure if something’s done about it, there would be far more people getting the app and many more 5 star reviews!

Really great app but, THE VOLUME.... This app is almost superb. But, the volume varies greatly between programs & some ads. I watched my local news. I had to have my phone volume all the way up, but I could hear it ok. But, when nbc nightly came on , i had to put on headphones & have the volume all the way up. In one nbc nightly segment the background volume over powered the news reader. The volume does that on many ads, too. You can hear the background sounds, but the main announcement is totally silent. This is the only TV app that does this. I’ve used just about every other tv channel app available to me. The nbc app is the only one i have volume problems with.

Hello? NBC?. I am pretty sure the latest update was developed by CBS or ABC in order to drive traffic to them. It is working. The app freezes while loading, constantly tells me I’m not connected to WiFi even though I am, then freezes on that screen. When I try to link to cable provider I have to shut down my tablet EVERY. TIME. True on my kindle and iPad.. Luckily, for my tablets I know it’s not their fault. It’s so frequent I have been tempted to throw my viewing device. I haven’t made it through a fall premiere viewing with app. Add to all the above the commercials aren’t timed to match show breaks causing scenes to abruptly end, sometimes mid sentence. I typically don’t write reviews but this app is awful. If I can’t catch up with app I guess I won’t watch the show(s) How, NBC can you allow your name to be on such a craptastic app???

Not bad, not great.... This app is ok as far as network apps go. Not too many commercial, unlike ABC, relatively easy to use. Only caveat: I wish it would take me directly into the entire list of episodes for the last show watched, instead of only listing the last two. I was watching season 1 of a show, but the next time I logged in, it went automatically to Sea. 2. It took me a few seconds to realize and go back to season 1, but since then, it shows that episode in the 2 last watched, which is confusing... Annoying to have to go back through the whole list of shows to bring up all available episodes....

Doesn’t work with Sling TV. I am clueless here!!! If NBC is currently free over-the-air TV supported by ads.... WHY can’t you watch the same shows on their app as long as you watch the SAME commercials you would watch if you watched it live? What am I missing here??? So, since I did not catch the first episodes of “This is Us” live and cannot watch them on the app (even though I’m willing to watch the same commercials) I will never watch however remaining episodes/seasons there are, live or otherwise. How many other people are there that are in the same situation as me? REALLY?! Way to shoot yourself in the foot here NBC. This is not how you increase viewership. Since you have captured my email address, let me know if you ever update your draconian business practices as I am deleting the app.

ACTUAL iPhone X support! A miracle!. THANK YOU! Thank you for ACTUALLY supporting the iPhone X screen with your actual content, and not just the menu/interface! Almost every other major network app only supports the iPhone X screen for their menus and player interfaces, leaving big black bars down the side of the actual shows. I would suggest maybe adding the option to zoom out also for those who prefer to see the entire picture rather than fill the screen, like the built-in iPhone video player does. But thank you for the REAL iPhone X support!

Good shows, but limited viewing without cable is unreasonable. I no longer have a cable package through my provider. Their prices went through the roof, no one really has time to watch TV in my house anyway. Having this app on my iPad, allows me to watch the shows while at the gym, which means I'm still watching the commercials that fund the network. I am enjoying the new programming especially, Manifest. If the three major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) are free, and I have Internet in my house so that I can use the app, why does NBC require me to sign in with a cable account? Giving free access to everyone would move this up to a five star app. I have to say, that the other reviewers access issues have to be related to either their Internet provider, or the device they are watching on, because other than a slow load for the NBC app itself, the programs all run smoothly.

Awful with Chromecast. This is the worst app I’ve ever used with Chromecast. If you close the app at all while casting (which is the point) then the app completely freaks out. The connection rapidly switches between being connected and not being connected. So quickly that you can’t even choose to stop the process. Restarting the app doesn’t help. For whatever reason, the show will play one episode and then completely stop, as popes to moving on to the next episode in the season. It’s a three-minute process of restarting the app and trying to connect in one millisecond in order to play the next episode. Pair this with the 45 commercials per episode and it’s a lose-lose. I want to love this app, but the stability needs to be made a major focus. Otherwise Chromecast pairing shouldn’t even be offered.

Great idea but poor performance. This app is great in that I am able to watch live tv from my Apple TV (by using a family member’s cable subscription). It also provides on demand access to many shows. However, the performance of the app itself is very poor. It will frequently fail to open, or if it opens, will fail to load live tv. These issues typically arise at least once a week and require me to delete and redownload the app in order to fix. I still keep it because it is convenient for me to watch the news, but it is a big nuisance to deal with the frequent glitches.
