This app is absolutely awful!! For 2 years I’ve consistently had to spend more time just trying to get an episode to actually play than I have watching the episode once it finally starts. And if you want to Chromecast, forget it; they might as well just acknowledge that they don’t support it, because I […]

It crashes a lot. Dont bother trying to get into a series almost everything is locked unless you have some sort of TV provider to link to. The episodes skip a lot its rather annoying. I was watching a show last night it was working just fine, and now it just wants to continue loading, […]
App seems to work ok, not sure about with other shows, haven’t watched any others yet just downloaded it, but “This Is Us.” keeps skipping spots in the middle of episodes. not sure if it’s a flaw in the app or not but it’s irritating. I have to back out of the app and restart […]
Absolutely awful performance. Don’t expect to actually watch anything on this app, much less live. I tried to load a TV show for a full 10 minutes before finally giving up. Anytime I tried to load the live TV show, it would skip back to the last 2 minutes of the last TV show, play […]
The app goes down from time to time. When it does, it is can be down for a few minutes to days or even weeks before it gets fixed. This has been an on going problem for years. However, the app typically works for the most part and it is great. It has all my […]
As TV apps go, NBC is pretty well set up and easy to use, although it’s a little glitchy. Sometimes there’s a weird skipping ahead on shows. Sometimes there’s no sound. I find that most of the time, if I close the app and reopen it, that usually resolves the problem. Once in a while, […]
I love getting to watch my favorite shows on my time! I also love that it allows streaming anytime and doesn’t block old episodes. My one complaint is about the commercials. When you rewind, even if a few seconds too far, it makes you watch the commercials again. Most of those commercials, mind you, repeat […]
Downloaded this so I could continue The Good Place, season 3 & it works great for that! I don’t mind the ads, since it’s just like commercials on regular NBC TV. The only thing that’s annoying is that when I click the back 10 seconds button, it sometimes makes me re-watch all the commercials, which […]
Half of the time when I start watching a show, the volume doesn’t work (for the show and commercials) so I have to close the app and start over. The app will often freeze and keep playing in the background, even when I go to another app or turn my phone screen off, I can […]
By far, the worst of the streaming tv apps. It has the usual issues like more commercials than actual content, but then the application itself hardly functions. It doesn’t save progress so you have to manually find where you left off (and not before going through 100 ads). It barely works with casting devices, about […]
Freezes up all the time when using with a Chromecast. Starts over so you have to re-watch theany many commercials. If you pause the show and lock your phone, when you try to resume the show it goes back to the beginning. All sorts of problems. Again, this is all when using Chromecast, so maybe […]
This is a shockingly clunky app, especially from an established company like NBC. It’s prone to freezing and crashing, but wait till you hear what else is going on with this catastrophe of epic proportions, because that’s not even the craziest part! When commercials come up, the screen goes ultra dim and the huge pause […]
TOO MANY ADS!! In one 40 minute episode, I encountered 3 SETS of 6-7 ads!! And they don’t even show you how long an ad is like it does on Youtube. Also after the ads, the sound and video do not sync anymore so I have to always do a playback right after. Honestly had […]
Been using the app for a long time, but now it’s become constantly glitchy not wanting to playor having to restart the app completely with shows skipping around and more commercials than ever, you never get a reply when you email support, and worse, i gave my friend my old phone, and the app wouldn’t […]
Its nice to catch up on my episodes, BUT one huge issue I have is that 90% of the episodes that im trying to catch up on are locked and they don’t offer anything to purchase or watch ad’s to unlock each episodes. It’s very frustrating because we currently have no cable, antenna (local chn), […]
You’ve gotta expect this “free! Free! FREE!!!” app would expect us to sit through a few ads, but they are way too many WAY too often, plus everything seems to be locked down. The only things that are free! Free! FREE!!! are short clips for shows you can’t watch without paying for the premium package. […]
Commercials are fast and few. Signed up for the profile & received 3 credits. Yet there literally is no other way to gain any more credits. This is very frustrating! Update..Will be deleting this app. They have the first half of a season locked, with no way to get credits to unlock. But the last […]
I saw the comments saying to many adds but thought I would try it anyway. To many adds is right!! 5-8 adds for each break is insane. What’s worse is you can’t fast forward without more adds. To continue watching from the middle of an episode is a pain. Each time I move the fast […]
Overall, a great app for viewing all your favorite shows, even older shows no longer playing. I’m currently binging Quantum Leap epidodes. Good menu, easy search engine, easy browser, high quality video/audio feed. One major drawback… ADS… every show starts with at least one ad, which is fine… sometimes there are several ads together. But, […]
Please offer a subscription! I’d happily pay to not have to watch the commercials. I will sit through a couple of episodes, but there’s no way I’m watching even 10% of the content I would stream if the commercials were gone. There are a lot of fantastic shows on NBC. With a commercial-free option and […]
