NBC LA: News, Weather & Alerts Reviews

NBC4 So Calls Mobile News app has created the news tool of convenience. I can’t tell you when I last sat down in the family room to watch the news as a newscast was happening. I am more likely to have been on the go, at work or in another part of the house. Convenience with a capital C. Alerts that remind me of an upcoming story or broadcast. A traffic story or potentially dangerous pursuit are just some of the features I rely on. Lastly, it’s dependable. It’s especially valuable while traveling. Good job and thank you.

For the latest breaking news in So Cal, our state and even national news, NBCLA provides timely alerts and articles. I recommend using your phone alerts to notify you as some news (such as fires, car chases, traffic jams, flooding, earthquakes) can help you prepare or avoid those problem areas. Overall, NBCLA has provided excellent, concise coverage for the highlights of the day.

BEST. APP. EVER. This is a must have app if you love watching SoCal car chases. You get notified the moment the chopper is on scene. Best coverage of car chases too. My kids can’t get enough of it. The reporters are always respectful and will pull back the camera view if things get too violent. I just wish that they’d leave footage of the car chase on NBCLA so that those of us who missed a late night chase could watch it the next day. Thanks

Living in SoCal w COVID. and we don’t have cable TV as we cannot afford it anymore. Trying to make ends meet during hard times now. Money is tight. NBCLA has been a nice addition in that it is free for poor people like us. And it gives us the coverage we need on news especially with the fires. Thank You NBC 4 LA. Somethings in life being free really help the folks in dire need!

I moved out of California a year ago, but I like to keep up on the news so I remember why we left. It’s left wing, but at least I get to read stupid stuff Newsome does, see homeless encampments expand and watch high speed chases. NBC was my favorite news when we lived there and I watched it multiple times a day. I moved to a red state where people have more sense and it’s not crowded.

You’re app is one of the most user friendly news apps I have.
I enjoy it very much.
Please continue to have it user friendly especially for searching for articles that may not be in the current news cycle. Being able to obtain or revisit information is very important.

Just the right type of news as I need it when I need it, it’s on time right to the point and accurate. I get my weather and local happenings on my device any time anywhere and above all I get live news like police pursuits so I know what areas to avoid. NBCLA is a great source of the news locally and nation wide, so get it.

Due to the ridiculously high cost of cable, I have become an avid streamer for my electronic entertainment needs. KNBC allows me to stay informed with local events when I want to or am in the mood to do so. Thanks for this option that allows me to control my time and money without being a victim to a merciless, unfeeling, greedy group of shareholders at a cable network.

I Love Channel 4 NEWS(NBC 4LA) and I zLove the Staff when it comes to the news and treat people with dignity and respect loved one(s) when they are reporting a shooting or stabbing and console the loved ones talk to the loved ones and console them and respect wishes that the family or friend be it family or friend they are there to lhear and listen what is said or talk with with dignity, Love and honor requests that is asked for and prayers as well. ❤️👫❤️😀❤️👫❤️😊❤️😢❤️

I get the news in a timely and fast manner. This has been especially important between the virus & the riots. Their reporting is actual reporting - facts - no opinions. I appreciate their attention to detail and their professionalism. Lastly, I appreciate being alerted when to turn the TV on (or see it there) if something newsbreaking is happening. Thank you.

The KNBC News app is a great source for local, national and world news. It’s easy to navigate and has all the pertinent local news. You can also watch the news broadcasts live through NBCLA if they’re on the air. If you’re into pursuits, they provide great coverage and continues the coverage even after the live telecast goes off the air.

I always turn to Channel 4 news when watching TV. It’s a no brained to do the same thing on my phone. I trust them the most to give me accurate and up to the minute information. The only negative is I hate it when the devote a whole newscast to a stupid car chase. I’d rather know the news than watch the car chase.

I spend a lot of my time tracking business news which often incorporates national and international news so I don’t have a lot of time to stay on top of local events and developments. NBCLA allows me to stay in touch with SoCal in a time-effective way. Excellent!!

After being told their previous weather app is no longer supported, they tell us to use NBCLA instead. But the weather page is disfunctional, so I've deleted NBCLA entirely. There are other apps that do a much better job with news & weather. Dump this one!

Update - The current weather page still doesn’t even provide a full page weather map!!! Other weather apps are more informative and much more user-friendly. Awful awful awful.......

I have watched the news on channel 4 for at least 35 years. Since the internet came along I watch you wherever I. Can get WiFi. Coleen and Chuck have been my favorites. I love to hear your reports, they are always precise and honest. I am 73 years old and I watch you on my iPad in Coolidge, Arizona. All I can say is keep up the great work you all do.
God Bless You all.

Thank you for making a great news source app, because of my work hours I don’t have the opportunity to actually watch the news on my tv, I’m not gonna lie, I have all the local LA Stations news apps on my phone, but the one I go to hourly, nightly, and daily is yours.

Thank you for the updates, keep up the great work.

Great keeping me up to date since I am no longer living in the broadcast area. Real news that I know that I can trust. Great mix of breaking news, weather, local sports and just plain news from home! My go to in the morning.

I’ve been having problems with my app it just won’t function. I can click on something and it freezes forever. So I close it and reopen it constantly and still won’t function right. I’ve deleted it and rebooted my IPAD and re-downloaded it again and again a d yet still won’t work. It WAS on my IPAD a d I can’t remember what I had done to have these problems so I’m kinda stuck in the IPAD, YET it works perfectly fine on my IPHONE tho! What can I do to get this to re-work again on my IPAD then????

I just deleted NBCLA after using it for quite some time. Recent changes make it impossible to use. Two thirds of an article appears on the screen and the right side is cut off. When I try to scroll down in an article, the screen freezes every time in order for a pop up ad to take over. I’ve tried to work around this all week and it is just too frustrating. I guess ad revenue is more important than your users. Fine by me. Bye.

Love this news app. It presents the current information easily and clearly, so if I’m short on time I can just grab the basics. If I have more time, I can read the story in depth. Like their coverage too usually. It is presented more neutrally (less political slanting) than the other big news outlets in the L.A. area.

My husband and I are fans of our Channel 4 app. We rely on it for all local news. Our favorite features are the Police chases. Thank you for airing them. Your Helicopter coverage is professional and your newscasters are equally professional. I was even able to watch a police chase in Omaha NE. That was a surprise!!
Channel 4 is also our go to station on TV for National News!

I love having NBCLA on my phone! I check the news several times a day and can can stay up to date on what is going on. My husband use to come home and ask me if I had heard about what had happened and I couldn’t tell him. Now with NBCLA we have a conversation about what is happening in our world.

I am very satisfied with my KNBC news app because it’s easily accessible from my iPhone 7 home screen for whenever I need up to the minute news whether it’s from my local news, weather report or current sports scores. Also there’s so much more news nationally or international. Thank you KNBC NEWS.

I try & stay up to date with what is happening since I live in Northern California & my elderly mother & many relatives live in LA. When you look at the top stories & each story is duplicated 2 & 3 times & this is ridiculous!!! NBCLA used to be so much better!!! Do you just don’t care any more??? This whole app, except for the weather, has declined with the number of stories getting smaller & staying on NBCLA longer. I get more info on Twitter from ABC La!!! Wake up & start caring because we do!!!!!!

Most helpful for me in Illinois to learn about conditions my family is living through in the great state of California when it’s under such duress as the fires. National news makes a strong effort but the local news has a personal motivation that can’t be matched. Thank you.

NBCLA gives me a quick and easy way to see what is part of current news. I like the alerts because I am able to see what is on the forefront of having occurred and can then know what I want to follow up on as the day progresses into night and day returning.

I enjoy NBCLA so much! I love being the first to be informed about what is happening in my area or receiving alerts about major breaking news of the world.
I especially like getting pursuit alerts and being able to watch live pursuits, wherever I am!
