Big problems & facebook login???

2022-05-22

For some bizzarre reason i cant figure out NBC4Washington asked me to allow
it to use my location to login to Facebook!!! I repeatedly have said no to this but it keeps coming back on to my screen over the news & weather stories i am trying to read.
I know these people who made NBC4Washington are able to get on to Facebook in other ways so they really do need to check security for this! Its been going on for months now & i'm so mad about this i had to post this. Please NBCUNI fix NBC4Washington!!! There are too many problems & bugs & glitches with it. i like it & i dont want to have to ditch it but i will delete it if this "allow NBC4 to login to Facebook allow or cancel?" continues i will delete the entire app!
Besides it takes up too much space!
There should be a different weather NBC4 weather app anyway! Its the weather thats the best part of NBC4Washington ! Also please update the location & timing too because rain & snow is always at my location long before it shows up on the tv & NBC4Washington ! Please fix all this!! Thanks!! Otherwise still a great app but get rid of news stories that are from 2011 & a long time back. Archive that stuff offline please. Thanks!

Typical NBC/DNC mouth piece

2022-06-23

I liked NBC4Washington for their weather radar which was actually the best for northern VA. Occasionally I’d check local news but NBC4 DC has ALWAYS been a left wing propaganda machine bashing conservatives, the second amendment and everything slightly aligned with the GOP. Their pro China support is expected because of NBC Universal’s partnership with China’s communist party. What was surprising is how they ignored the controversy of governor Blackface Northam’s racism in spite of being in a predominantly African American community.

I blocked their cable station over 10 years ago and only downloaded NBC4Washington on the recommendation of a firefighter friend. He too only used NBC4Washington for weather radar. He left FCFD because he had no choice when his dues only went to support democrats like the aforementioned governor Blackface Northam.

Do NOT Update

2022-07-24

This used to be an awesome app that I used hourly for weather radar and forecasts. The latest “redesign” must not have been subject to any user testing. The weather module was ruined. The radar only works if you zoom out. The forecast is now MUCH harder to read. Half the time I open it I can’t even get to the weather module. When watching the weather forecast video clips, it used to adjust for any orientation in full screen landscape mode. Now that only works one way. This was a downdate, not an update. I will be deleting and using the old version on my iPad.

Cable subscription required

2022-08-25

This is an app for a broadcast network station — that is to say, you can watch it for free over-the-air, if you’re in the right market. However, inexplicably, a precedent seems to have been set at some point, that “free” television offerings are not free to stream; you are required to be subscribed to a pay-TV provider in order to watch broadcast television live streams. I’m not going to mince words: that’s utterly asinine.

I guess they don’t actually want cord cutters watching their commercials... so I’ll just watch Hulu’s commercials instead. (Not that much more appealing, really... but at least it’s actually an option.)

Love the alerts but now scroll freezes and app crashes

2022-09-26

NBC4Washington is my go-to for local DMV news. It’s great for breaking news alerts. For the past couple of months though NBC4Washington has been freezing while I’m mid-article and won’t let me scroll up or down. Always have to go back to home page and start the article over and try to keep the scroll in motion to prevent it from freezing. As of today now NBC4Washington is also crashing, though maybe that could be because of increased demand on the eve of the presidential election. Lots of duplicate articles, not all of which have text, some only have video which I don’t want when I’m reading in bed at night and don’t want to wake my spouse. Sometimes really old articles from several years ago randomly appear in the feed as if they’re new.

Don’t like the updates

2022-10-27

NBC4Washington WAS just perfect the way it was before! I usually check the weather hourly and the rain radar and it was so clear and easy to read and to understand, but now it’s changed, the background looks lighter and the wording smaller and even the hourly weather is hard for me to understand! I don’t know why this changes have been done, when it was already perfect! I will just have to look for another app where I can understand easily the weather forecast.

Easy to Use and Reliable info

2022-11-28

This is app is easy to use and navigate as well as reliable information in terms of the weather. It is truly my “go to” if I didn’t catch the news in the morning or at night. The only improvements I see is an easy way to add locations and I wish I can see an estimated hr by hr for each day, not just the current day, to around the more likely times for precipitation. Of course, weather is never 100% predictable so I understand if the hr by hr is difficult to forecast in advance.

No response to questions

2022-12-29

In the recent Covid conditions, I have tried to ask ONE question and haven’t received a response. It’s been over a month. I have also asked the question to several anchors via Twitter (which I don’t usually use) as suggested, or NBC4Washington. Nothing. Can I suggest a better way to ask questions!! Otherwise, I enjoy seeing the latest stories as they come through and the weather is always up to date.

News App Is Perfect

2023-01-30

NBC4Washington is great for all the news we need to see not just for our area but Nationally. They work hard to bring most up to date & most important...accurate news! My 4 stars & not 5 is based on app updates or changes. I’ll finally figure out the features then when they make changes, they aren’t always the best & remove my favorite parts. That’s progress, I guess. But I’ve never regret using it.

Better than the rest

2023-03-03

I would definitely say NBC4Washington is way better than the other local apps. You can easily look at weather, articles and even share them to your favorite social networking apps and it doesn’t shut down on you in the process.
I recommend the NBC4DC app to everyone who loves their neighborhood and also to those who need to know if there are crashes or traffic back ups. 5/5 for sure!

NBC4 the Best News outlet in the DMV!

2023-04-01

Switched from Fox5 and never looked back! Thanks for all you do, really appreciate how you choose to broadcast the news. You all really feel like a real family. On the weekdays, my husband or myself turn to NBC4@ 4am as we’re still laying waiting for the alarm to go off. We get the top stories, weather and traffic. Keep up the awesome work you guys, all of you!!!

Enjoy NBC 4 news app

2023-05-03

I enjoy getting current news & weather quickly whenever I have time to check, not just when it is on TV. Especially enjoy the pictures and text. I have an old iPad and videos take a longer time to load, so I don’t watch them so much. Right now I am watching my 3 grandchildren, under 6 years, and don’t know when I can get news. Nice that it is always there! Thank you!

NBC4 App Keeps Us Grounded!

2023-06-03

When technology took our lifelong love of NBC4 news to NBC4Washington our hearts delighted! 24/7 news updates helped me keep up in Nursing School and still go-to when out of town or America’s in crisis. We constant use it for weather and bonus is being able to key on multiple cities that stay as favorites!

Easy to keep up with what’s going on

2023-07-05

I’d always used NBC4Washington to get more info on the news and weather (great to pull up the map with your home area marked and see what’s coming). Also good for checking out weather other areas. But, recently when I was without cable service for several days, it showed its value in another way. I kept up via streaming newscasts, etc. My first experience, but won’t be the last! Also like responding to your occasional polls on various topics. NBC4Washington makes it so easy to stay in touch.

NBC4 DC

2023-08-05

Love NBC4Washington and the reporters and meteorologists, they are up to date on everything and do not act childish or immature! I no longer watch my local station and haven’t for the past 2 years as they act very immature. With NBC4 DC they also do my local weather in the Shenandoah Valley and sometimes local news depending on what it is. They are part of my family everyday, thank you all for what you do!!

NBC4’s app is outstanding!

2023-09-06

From weather alerts to breaking news, the NBC4 app has the latest news. I love NBC4Washington because I can quickly see the things that are most important to me and my family, follow up for more information on news stories, and share news alerts with my friends and family. Keep up the great work!

Keeping up to date while out and about!

2023-10-08

NBC4Washington allows me to live my life and not be stuck inside waiting for the latest news and weather forecast. I check NBC4Washington to get up to date weather and news. App updates frequently you and sends me up to minute breaking news. This is the future of how people gets news.

NBC4 doesn’t disappoint

2023-11-08

I refer to my NBC Washington app for news on my IPAD several times a day to keep up to date with National as well as DMV news. Depending on what’s on my calendar, I refer to the weather just as or more often than the news. For the weather, I can obtain weather for 3 locations so I can easily check current and future weather wherever I am vs where my family lives.

NBC4 Has Been the Go To News Outlet for 15 Years

2023-12-10

Actually I have enjoyed NBC4 or WRC TV since the 1970’s when I would return to DC to visit my parents. It was always a fixture in their home so when I relocated permanently I carried on the tradition. Jim Vance and Doreen Ginzler were the team that had me hooked and the replacements following Jim’s passing carry on the tradition of making viewers as myself feel like were in our den with friends rather than simply watching TV.

News when I want it and just the way I want it!

2024-01-10

I use NBC4Washington daily. First I check the weather and after walking the dog, I read through other news items. I benefit from articles on our Congress as well as what havoc I might need to avoid to keep my day moving forward and around traffic congestion. NBC4Washington is a nice little, but powerful, treasure.

Good local news source

2024-12-22

NBC4Washington is a great source for local news and information that keeps you on top what’s happening, what’s important, breaking news and events that are not covered by national news outlets. Because Washington beside being a local town is also the nation’s capital one also gets a unique perspective on national events when they occur in Washington.

Review

2024-12-22

I wrote you station several times about the Virginia lottery. It is so sad that it took a Virginia paper to start an Investigation. I still would like to know why is it the the Virginia now does not show who won in the Cash 5, Cash for Live, Bank of Million and the Scratchers, when this has been a standard procedures until they have been discovered.

Relevant Notifications

2024-12-22

I like NBC4Washington . It’s user friendly. I was hesitant to select getting notifications because I didn’t want to be bombarded with irrelevant notifications. The notifications are either major late breaking news, traffic updates, or weather notices which I love to have a heads up to things that can impact my day or commute!

Local news quick!

2024-12-22

I appreciate this NBC4 DC app for all the news updates, Traffic & Weather UPDATES. Great how a short but meaningful text pops up on my iPhone to keep me aware! Sometimes I’ll text my family members if they’re driving toward a traffic jam that NBC4 told me about so they can take another road.
Thank you NBC4!
You are my favorite News Source!

Contracter

2024-12-22

I am a Hardscape Contracter, I have grown to depend on NBC4Washington daily to help schedule jobs based on the weather forecast. NBC4Washington is quick, reliable and easy to use. One of the nicest features is that I can change and store the different locations to reflect the weather for the cities and counties for where we are going to be working. Thumbs up.

No problems here

2024-12-22

I think NBC4Washington is great, it keeps me up to date during the day when I’m working & not at home watching NBC. They’ve clearly worked on whatever issues were of concern to at least one other reviewer because I’ve not experienced the problem he/she had at all.

Still following even living in Morgantown WV.

2024-12-22

I watched News 4 every evening after work and when it came on when I retired. They are informative and very helpful. No bias from the News 4 team ever. I can depend on good solid reporting and when I’m back in town I watch. I’m living in Morgantown WV and I really miss the quality of your work.

Keeps me informed

2024-12-22

I love NBC4Washington especially when I’m unable to catch the news live on air, I’m still in the know. The Breaking News alerts are a plus as well.. NBC4 is my favorite news channel so it helps when I’m out of town, I don’t have to play catch up or miss anything while I’m away..

The Only Working news app

2024-12-22

I use an iPad and this is the only news app I have that loads pages properly. I can actually read the whole story without the cursor skipping around and pictures covering parts of the text.

Thank you for straightening this out!!
