NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth News App Reviews

Great app to have on your phone to check on this unexpected Texas weather. Thank you so much for keeping us informed.

I love the news station, particularly the meteorologists. They are usually spot on with forecasts. What I dislike, is this app. The weather portion freezes up frequently. It did the same thing on my previous iPhone as well, so it isn’t the phone. Streaming is iffy at best. I have tried removing then reloading the app to no avail. This has been going on for years.

The app show several hours behind when I open for current weather. It’s almost 11pm and app shows weather from 4pm saying “Now”.

This app has very little local news. The only reason I downloaded the app was to be aware of local activity in my city. All day I’m being notified and reading about national pop culture and simple events, like ‘national hot dog day’. The city I used to live in, their news app was top tier compared to this one.

When it works, the app is great. However, most of the time, the app does not load. When I open it, the screen is frozen. I have to open and close it out several times before there is even a chance of it working.

I keep seeing the same news story in my feed being repeated 5 different times with varying paraphrases of the same headline. I would LOVE if every link actually led to a new story. Half the time, the sound on the videos doesn’t even work. The breaking news articles can be irritating to read through as it’s flagged as having updates but you have to read the same five paragraphs for a one sentence update. Don’t even get me started on the weather radar, I couldn’t count on a correct forecast if

I have had this app on my phone for years. It has never worked properly. It constantly freezes when trying too open app. I have deleted it and try bringing it back on occasion to see if it has been fixed. Nope. Still freezes. I have other weather apps on my phone and do not experience performance issues with them. It’s a shame the developer can’t get this fixed because on the rare occasion when it works, it has the potential to be a good app. Save yourself the frustration and use another weathe

The app won’t load data more than half of the time I open it.

Constantly freezes when it switches to the weather tab. Even if you open and close it, it opens in the same tab and remains frozen. It’s a shot in the dark if it’ll actually work or not and most of the time it doesn’t. The weather notifications are nice but the story notifications are too much and you can have between 5-15 a day and it gets annoying. The biggest drawback as I said is the main thing I use it for, weather, rarely works.
