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 get it to work about 1 out of 20 times, if I'm lucky. It's complete garbage, and I'm on the verge of abandoning all NBC shows, because they aren't worth the trouble of dealing with the app!!

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, and once popped up with a notice saying I couldn't watch it even after linking to an account. This app is really not worth the hassle, or your time. I would give 0 stars if I could because there are so many flaws.

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 it to get it get it to stop skipping. Also it's ridiculous all the commercials, one scene of the episode, then 3, 4, 5, as many as 7 commercials completely ridiculous. I'm using the app on an Amazon fire stick.

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 that clip for about 30 seconds, and then buffer endlessly. I'm a software engineer. This is unacceptable. There are better streaming services out there. This had ONE JOB and it couldn't handle it.

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 favorite shows from (now) most of my favorite networks. The comercial breaks can be a bit long. Typically during a 1-hour show, there are multiple (about 5 or so) commercial breaks with 3-7 seperate commercials each break.

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, it seems to disconnect from my cable TV provider account, so I have to reconnect it. But I use the app a lot and am generally satisfied.

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 a couple times before moving on (I'm sorry I can only hear "Going to the Chapel" so many times).

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 is frustrating. Otherwise, I have no issues with lagging etc, and I can watch some of my favs!

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 still hear the audio going on and on but the app and video will be unresponsive. There's sooo many commercials and they're all repetitive.

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 60% of the time, forcing you too restart the whole process sometimes. It's like they didn't even test UX, and they want people to pay for a subscription? Peacock is the same.
