Garbage that asks for money every 2 seconds.Just deleted this app after years of using it. It’s now basically just a phishing scam to take your money at every click.

Another subscription pushWhy! We pay enough to get the tv channels and now the apps..enough, next we’re going to have to subscribe to getting air! Switching to get the news from somewhere else..

Rip offSucks they try to make you subscribe and pay to read a lot of stories.

Recent five-star reviews

941ohDitto last review. I have watched NBC news for since we got TV in 1949

Subs onlyThis app was great till earlier this year they made it pretty much subscribers only. NBC universal doesn’t make enough money to provide you with the news anymore 🙄

Subscriber SpoilsI used to love this App as a good source for news. They recently introduced a Subscribers status which requires users to pay a monthly fee to access certain articles. This has taken over with the majority of articles now tagged as “Subscribers only.” Will look elsewhere for news.
