Latest reviews of NBC 5 Chicago: News & Weather app for iPhone and iPad
Whats the deal? The weather used to come up all the time, now all of a sudden it doesnt show up!!!!! What happened? I work outside for a living and I need to know what the weather is!!!!!!!! MAKE IT WORK!!!!!!!!!!
I dont know why this app is replacing the old weather app. If something isnt broke - why fix it? I still prefer the old app. I like the quick access to the 7 day forecast with the ability to check each days more in depth just by touching the day.
Please bring back the old NBC 5 app. Cannot view in landscape mode which is very inconvenient. Will no longer use your news app unless that Is changed. Why cant I get rid of red screen to get to the local news.
When you get a notification and open the news, the app just hangs. What is the point of having a notification and we could not read the news? That is the purpose of the notification to notify us the hot or breaking news. Please work on this!!!
Every ten minutes I get an alert that rain is approaching in 30 minutes. It hasnt rained in a week and a half.
