NBC10 Philadelphia: Local News Reviews

by Badgebffr

Updated to add that NBC10Philadelphia has become unusable. Opening a story works, however, up-down scrolling ceases to function so only a piece of the article is visible. Your only options at that point is to swipe for the next article or go back to the main stories page.

There’s an annoying section “most popular” news. It wouldn’t be annoying if their technology filtered the stories to ensure what showed up on the front page of a feed was “most popular within the past month” or “recently most popular”. Nope. Instead, stories from 2, 5 and even 10 years ago show up. You have no idea that the headline is that old until you click into the article. Annoying.

They’ve finally fixed a number of the glitches that had existed for years. There’s still one where you lose the ability to scroll a story. This seems to be related to embedded video and advertising. The only option to read the article is to swipe out, back to the beginning and try your luck again.

This is the worst news app ever and it has been for *years*. Notifications constantly take you to the wrong story. Often the story for which you received a notification doesn't appear anywhere in NBC10Philadelphia at all. "Watch Live!" breaking news notifications take you to a still picture or a video that doesn't work with an alarming rate of regularity. No matter how urgent or time sensitive the story, even live pressers for local coronavirus updates, you'll be watching a commercial first. Think you can control which notifications you can see? You'd be wrong, NBC10Philadelphia completely ignores your preferences. NBC10Philadelphia has always been a major fail, and after all these years I have little hope it will ever be anything but.

It freezes when switching between news and weather. And if you close it on the weather page and reopen it it cannot load weather data. So it’s only good if you stay in news and don’t use the weather page. The first time you open it it’ll work but once you close it it’s a frozen screen trying to get weather to load. Doesn’t matter if you restart your phone d or delete and download NBC10Philadelphia . My iPhone 8 Plus is up to date. (15.3.1). There’s a bug in NBC10Philadelphia. Fix it so I can move from news to weather and back again w/o deleting NBC10Philadelphia and reinstalling and going through all the preliminary set up questions. Your weather is good too bad it won’t load!!

NBC10Philadelphia is good if you don’t mind spending an extra minute to watch a Honda commercial every time you click. The latest update adds the requirement to log in to your internet provider if you want to watch something livesorks, download and use your WiFi. In addition to that. the latest update also brings data errors which means after I’ve been tortured
by yet another Honda ad I get a black screen error and can’t view shat I endured the commercial to watch. I’ll be deleting NBC10Philadelphia if it isn’t fixed soon. If I could give it less than 1 star I would. If you want something that works, install the 6abc Philadelphia app.

The new update for NBC10 to is ok, cosmetically, although some have said it’s missing a feature or two from the past version, like “Live” (I did find that though.) I am complaining because it is impossible to email, or forward news stories anymore. It used to be so easy. There is now a symbol denoting email, but when you hit the button, nothing happens. You can post the story on Facebook, or add the link to your Twitter account, if you wish. Those buttons work. Email doesn’t. Please fix this, as I often like to “spread the news” to my kids.

NBC10Philadelphia was great for a very long time. Recently, though, the weather interactive map has crashed or something. It started with no longer displaying the future weather map. Now it displays nothing but the geography - no present weather, no future prediction. I have always counted on NBC10 for my weather, especially for where the rain/snow/storms are currently and where they will likely be in the next few hours. The only way I can see it now is by watching the forecast on TV, which is never at the moment I need it.

*new advertising feature, videos in the sports section play automatically (and at volume) and cannot be turned off or silenced unless you open another video or close NBC10Philadelphia . I think I’m done here.

I like News 10. But NBC10Philadelphia is so full of sponsor ads and swipe away ads that it makes using it incredibly frustrating. I understand the need to make money, but the sponsor ads, some charading as legitimate articles, out number the real articles and often eclipse them.
Can you get back to reporting real news predominately and relegate your ads to less app real estate? Then maybe I’ll use it again for local news.

When I first downloaded NBC10Philadelphia several years ago it was fantastic, especially for weather. Recently, since they have updated NBC10Philadelphia , it will never load after multiple attempts of closing an opening and restarting my phone. Very sad to say. After deleting NBC10Philadelphia and downloading again it still does not load. I had no choice but to delete and download a new weather app. Hope they fix again soon.

I love NBC10 news I have always since I was a kid although my parents were then and still are 6ABC fans. I enjoyed watching NBC10 when I had Analog tv as well as converter box (no longer have, wished I still did), now I find the news when I visit someone and whatever “I CAN,” view as a non-network watcher. I wish I could continue to watch my Noon & primetime as I once did, but I do not have sling, converter or other. I wish I could watch “All Live News” w/o having cable, sling, converter. I understand nothing is free in this life. For this Aspie Adult I miss the news Live. I still love your App even though, I can view the Live News partially. Take Care!

I do a lot of driving for work, and for many years have relied on NBC 10 television for accurate traffic and weather updates.

Their weather team is the best in the business, by the way, with forecasts for specific areas instead of just “PA, DE & NJ.” They know that people in the Lehigh Valley generally don’t care how much snow the Jersey shore will get: they just want to know whether they should send their kids to school.

Now they have an app that gives me the same info in an easy-to-use, flexible format. And unlike many apps (TOO many apps), this one is updated/corrected regularly, so it’s always growing and getting better.

Love it!

Great for checking news and weather quickly. Great tv anchors and weather people, they seem like real people. Could have more international news, we are not in a bubble in the United States, but trying to be in one gets us nowhere. We need the cold hard truth about our messed up world and how what we do impacts the rest of the world. Things, such as we need our immigrants to help our economy with so many seniors here and not enough young people to keep us going. Every night, someone should be tough about our environmental status. I am old an on my way out, what happens to the children and not just the ones here!

by Donna Ouellette

I always depend on this news cast mostly for weather and traffic. Very rarely do you guys get it wrong. The traffic updates always help when I’m headed home from work. Also school closings are so helpful. I love all the news anchors and of course I have to give a big shoutout to Our Retired Philadelphia News Anchor. We are Eagles Season ticket holders from the vet. Thank you all for what a great job you all do. Donna from Wilmington, Delaware

I’ve never experienced anything but the best from NBC10Philadelphia. When I think of a more reliable weather app this would definitely be my go to! With NBC10Philadelphia download I’m always quickly informed about serious inclement weather and breaking news alerts(amongst other alerts as well). If you’re looking for a good reliable weather app this would be your best bet.

by PsSlowDown

The weather map is by far the best I’ve used — and I’ve tried many. It can be slow to load, but is incredibly accurate & has lots of options on map surface & weather views to give exactly what you need to see. I love to use the weather map when my husband & I are on the road with the motorcycle to avoid rain storms and time breaks accordingly.

Has been useful all over the US, Caribbean, and some European countries.

I used to watch channel 10 back in the day with my Grandmother (Hattie) when it used to be CBS10, so that for sure tells my age LOL. Seriously tho, NBC10 has ALWAYS been MY go to television for EVERYTHING since I can remember. I love that I can stream many shows & news that I watch through the NBC10 app with my cable subscription , no need to worry about paying an additional fee like those other TV stations. NBC10 WILL ALWAYS BE MY HOME STATION FOREVER & ALWAYS 💗

Used to work for them (when they were CBS… with studios on City Line and Monument Avenue, Bala Cynwyd). They were great then and even better now. Thanks to the past, present, [and future] employees for all your loyalty, dedication and hard work. P.S. We were on the Suburban side of the street and Channel 6, [WFIL] were on the other. Because of the boundary line they paid City Wage Tax and we were spared. P.P.S. Remember the locally based Western “Action in the Afternoon” ? Fond memories from a happy past.

Thank you NBC Philadelphia for sending news alerts that are not only informative, but relevant to my daily existence. The “breaking news” you send is truly breaking, invaluable information I need and am genuinely interested in reading. The stories are easy to navigate on my device. I applaud the integrity of the editors/decision makers’ choices, and will continue to rely on you for weather, news, and information on TV, online, and on NBC10Philadelphia. #CountOnIt

by DsexyGmom

The NBC10 News App is very informative and provides to the minute weather changes i.e in 23 minutes rain will arrive in your area…how accurate and there’s No need to wait on Mother Nature…which leads me to wonder who is actually controlling the weather🤔🤔enough about that. The NBC10 news app also provides in-depth information regarding events and incidents in communities/neighborhoods…overall it’s a great app and I’m glad I’ve downloaded it…thanks to the crew of NBC10 for keeping me updated 😀😀

I thought that I would stop watching when Ann Curry was let go (huge mistake) but the team is well fortified with its current team. Having Hoda and Savannah as the anchors to this team is huge! Shout out to every single member of the news team.
NBC10Philadelphia brings me the reporting that I have come to know and appreciate. I have become accustomed to the alerts on my phone and I am enjoying the ability to keep up to date with information between my morning and Nightly TV news. I am a believer in NBC10Philadelphia! Thank you!!

Hello,

My name is Pedro Jr and I am a 27 year old Nursing Student from Camden, NJ. The NBC 10 news app accommodates my every need, daily, for news & weather all around the tri-state. As an independent contractor, my occupation requires me to travel up & down Interstate 95 and the NBC10 news app gives me real-time traffic, important news, & the weather, (To me, the most accurate) & finally I can watch the news live when they’re broadcasting!!! All in one application!! It can’t get any better than that people.... LIKE SERIOUSLY

by Jarret88

Loaded NBC10Philadelphia during the possible tornados a couple weeks back, been using it ever since. Cannot always catch the TV, but here I have it at my fingertips. Whether it a breaking stories or I (we) just want to see what’s going on, it’s right there and up to date. Now with winter approaching the weather updates will be very helpful.

by Cmiller805

I am a huge fan of all the weather alerts. I live in Center City and walking is my primary mode of transportation so I love getting an alert letting me know that it’s going to rain starting in 10 mins and continue off and on for the next hour. Gives me plenty of warning to duck into a store or grab an Uber to make it wherever I’m going without getting soaked.

NBC 10 Weather is my go to app to see weather for my specific weather (no matter where I am). NBC10Philadelphia is usually right on and the best of several apps I use. It has a feature that you can set NBC10Philadelphia to default to weather (rather than news). But you can easily check the news at anytime. I recommend NBC10Philadelphia.

by Ituner36

I really like having the NBC10 app on my iPhone because it notifies me of news happening in real time - I just click on the notification and NBC10Philadelphia opens to the news story. I am kept informed of the latest in traffic, weather, local (you can select your area or areas) and national news. It’s great!

by Rmb J

I have nothing but good to say about NBC10. I like the people I see every day and I especially like “The Hurricane,” who is always a real treat. I love his forecasts and the you have Bill Henley, who is my ultimate favorite personality!
I just wish your station was not so pro Democrat and would give the Republicans a chance! I do not like your newscasters at 4PM, they are too politically biased!

by TaconyvMombo

Love you have both weather and news on one app.

I look at weather every morning and like the hour by hour format plus 10 day report - and having the most accurate forecast gives mw confidence in what I will face.

I use News to get me today's alerts on Phillly and Global News.
