What users are saying

1. Other than that, it's a decent app and works well.The News of weather report s and local news is very accurate and very informative readings.

2. The news and other sections let you split the pane to left or right, but there's no way to do it on the weather screen, So irritating, can't even scroll the day's temps without it wildly over scrolling.

3. I used to get all the latest news LOCALLY, before most of the other news apps, and I used to get the weather on my Note 10+ drop down menu.

4. You tell it you DON'T want ANY news notifications just weather and it bombs you with the stupid Olympics notifications.

5. Now, I seldom get the updated LOCAL news, and no longer get the weather in my drop down menu.

6. Also, have had several glitches in the "Discover" tabs menu for more stories- i.e. under Weather & Entertainment, hockey and baseball sub categories appear at random times & Live TV option is also gone.They have ruined a great app with the new and improved version.

7. The weather screen displays 2/3 radar, 1/3 temp and 10 day forecast.

8. And I remember the same thing with NBC app was on my old phone as well.Overall I like this app very much! I am a big fan of NBC Chicago news, we watch it every day! I love that the app has the same weather and news on my phone.

9. My only very slight complaint is I can't update the local weather without opening the app.

10. And the brief weather forcast that used to be on the radar page is buried somewhere else now.

11. After the update I can no longer choose to have the weather as the primary screen.
