Why isn’t there a Traffic map?

Why not include a traffic tab that shows you live traffic map with closures, accidents, etc.!? Seems like a no brainer in this area. There is nothing on your app!

Clunky

I wanted to like the app and use it for more accurate weather than my phone’s default weather app. But the app is so clunky and for some reason it defaults to the wrong time of day, so it’s difficult to look ahead at the weather hourly forecast for that day. And it’s not worth it to troubleshoot it.

The NBC WASHINGTON APP & APPLE TV

Are you aware that you’ve been dropped by Apple TV. I tried the download your app and received this message: “The NBC Washington App - will no longer be supported on Apple TV. The best way to watch is on the NBC Washington DC News Streaming Channel. For more information head to NBCWASHINGTON.COM/WATCH or Find us here: Roku Samsung TV plus Peacock (which is NBC so no we can’t) XUMO Play

Number of alerts

For the few weeks, I am seeing the red dot with the number of alerts. But when I open the app, there are no alerts. And the number in the red dot just keeps increasing, now at more than 150.

Excellent update 8.0.1

Great job, handy tabs on the opening screen, with forecasts, radar at my fingertips. Thank you.

Homepage forecast

Your updated weather section won’t let me scroll in any direction to see the rest of the forecast. As soon as I do it takes me to the other daily and weekly forecast. I’m just looking for a quick reference not the detailed summary. Please put it back the way it was.

Number of alerts appearing

The past few days, the number of alerts appearing on the app’s button is in the hundreds, even though there are only a few on the app itself. Is there a glitch in the app’s coding?

Nice layout but…

How about a standalone weather app. I have no interest in local news. If not a standalone weather app, how about a weather only widget?

Was Great Until Recently

Are used to love this app so much it was the only weather app I used. But it recently stopped working, apparently due to some iOS update. Now the app only opens successfully once out of every four or five times I attempt to open it. And when I tried to report this problem the successive links took me to a dead end on Apple‘s website.

It’s just average

I wish a new version of this app would be created.its kind of plain and drab. Prefer if the news was in regular sections. Weather is a tiny font when it first opens. Just think NBC could do better.

Weather updates!

Come on! An hour of weather showing rain and a forest with trees! Too much! Missed the news from my favorite DC station!

App crashes when trying to view weather radar

I want to love this app because I watch NBC4 Washington. Most of the app is good but why does it crash when I go to view weather radar? If I try to view radar, the app crashes entirely. I deleted the app, reinstalled it and got the same result.

HEADLINES ARE IN ALL CAPS

I don’t know why they did it, maybe it draws more clicks, but recently all their push notifications’ headlines are in all caps. I like their reporting, but their updates just come across unnecessarily intense now.

Getting their weather alerts one day later

Just thinking how I end up getting weather alerts from this app one day later? Not happening with ch 9. Get your act together4! Wait, why even keep this app? Delete

Isn’t there something missing?

My husband and I both got this app — me on iPad and him on Android and neither one of us can find the Watch Live TV botton. Very frustrating!

Weather symbols way too small

Weather symbols way too small Please make them bigger. Can barely see if if there is a chance of precip at a particular hour.

No longer able to read an article without ads going off every 3 seconds

I updated the NBC4 app 5 days ago and now I can’t read an article without pop up ads playing every few seconds and they take up the entire screen. Whomever thought this was a good move was greatly mistaken! I’ll get my local news elsewhere now.

App locks up cannot enter location setting

During setup I cannot select the location setting it asks me to enter. I didn’t have this problem on my Android phone buy can’t set it up to run on Ipad
