Mediocre app, too many alerts.

The people at NBC5 send out too many alerts. Up to 10 an hour for breaking news stories, local or otherwise, is too many.

The app also has limited functionality. Most stories say "does not support full article, go online for full functionality."

Finally, the live tv feature redirects you to the NBC "corporate" network app, where you have to sign in with your cable credentials to access tv.

If I have to turn off alerts to avoid spam, stories dont work, and I cant see live TV, whats the point of downloading?
