NBC4 Columbus App revisa

Rate 5 stars

Only App I use . App could use more Monica Day.

My county was just under a tornado warning. I had to watch a 30 second ad to even get to the live coverage. Deleting this app and going back to 10TV where I was able to watch a live feed immediately.

Who knew an app could actually be this bad? NBC 4 is the best news channel in Columbus, and they definitely have the budget to fix this pathetic app. When a company ignores something for this long, they are simply showing that they just do not care. I had this app years ago and it was terrible. I decided to download and try it again, under the assumption they had improved it. No…. It’s MUCH worse now. It’s unusable now. You open the app, it asks if you want to receive notifications (which is a joke because the app doesn’t even work), then it takes you to a screen showing the summary of the weather. You cannot scroll or go to either of the other two sections across the bottom. NBC4 is clearly way better than CBS, FOX, and ABC here in Columbus, but they simply can’t be bothered to fix their app. When a company display such laziness and apathy, it begins to put a bad taste in your mouth. There is just no excuse, in the year 2025, for a company to have an unusable app/website, especially a company the size of NBC. Do better, guys…. Seriously.. Zero stars.

When reading an article and you get to the end of it, you have to rescroll all the way back to top in order to get a back arrow. And you can’t just flick it to get to top, you have to scroll one screen at a time. Not as easy to use as other Columbus area news apps.

The app is completely unusable on iPad. In landscape mode, the video will cover the entire screen making reading the text of the article impossible. In portrait mode, the text does not resize to fit in the screen and cuts off text on the right and left sides again making it impossible to actually read an article. And of course ads, ads, ads everywhere also making the app a very unpleasant experience.

I had this app and needed to reinstall it. When I did it won’t open. You just get two screens. One asking is you want news updates. The other asking the same about weather. Don’t matter how you answer it will go no further.

These people don’t update this for days. Channels 6 & 10 are on point usually.. you can for get it, the other channels update there sites. You’ll read about stuff on 6 & 10 and maybe 3 or 4 days later you’ll see it on 4. I do not watch the weather I got no clue about it.

The latest update has caused the page not to load.

Teasers with little to no content. Election coverage is the worst, not in alphabetical order. Cannot find results from my county. Widgets are the same and are stories up to nearly a week old. I liked NBC 4 news but not this app. Also ads pop up when trying to find a story or information, so you get rerouted

Please change the alert tone back the text tone one like it was before IOS 17.

I was hoping I could watch the local news live. It’s streaming from the evening before. Not what I was hoping since we canceled our cable and trying not to turn on tv with antenna and wake the kids.

I think 4 has overtaken 10 in the last decade for best news coverage, but ABC 6 and 10TV have a far and away winner with their mobile apps, despite their station owners sucking the life from their respective newscasts. I love NBC 4, but this app is riddled with performance-hogging advertisements and slow, unresponsive menus and scrolling. The feed is more like an embedded website than an actual app interface. Everything runs horribly and desperately needs rebuilt to be sustainable for a mobile environment.

The reporting is worse. Absolute garbage. The notifications all link to the wrong story and all the news is biased.

Can’t read the news while listening to audible. Very frustrating.

Was hoping for local news, but fine mostly advertising. This app does not work well on my phone or iPad. I have most news apps from my area and this is the worst. I will be deleting it. This app needs attention.

Live is terrible since new update!!

Has news stories yes, but the app frequently (every time open it) freezes, doesn’t load, or videos won’t play. The weather portion on app is useless. It never loads and when does, if you try and look at anything it doesn’t work. Seems all the news apps for Columbus Ohio don’t work. It’s not just channel 4’s app. It’s 6 and 10 as well. I’ll give 10’s app some credit, their weather at least seems to work most of the time.

Ever since the app was updated a week ago, I have had troubles using it. The app crashes in the middle of a story, you can’t get back to the stories if you click on a story. Now when you open the app, it says to swipe up to get rid of the ad but that doesn’t work and I end up having to close the app. If this doesn’t resolve soon I am going to have to look at other local news apps.

I don’t think I see this many ads anywhere in my like..can’t even read a news story without 15 breaks for ads..just crazy.

The app should at least provide an option whether to autoplay the video or not. I prefer to read the story and then whether to watch the video. Deleted.

Junk app, half the time it doesn’t load the text, won’t allow you to pause the video, locks up the page and you can’t do nothing but force close it. Have to do this several times in a row. Will not recommend at all.

They report left wing news and anti conservative news, very liberal !

I have all notifications disabled except for weather yet I still get news notifications daily. Running most up to date version of iOS on iPhone 11 Pro Max. Please fix these issues.

Why have an option to turn off OSU notifications if I’m still inundated with them after turning them off??

News always current with a wide variety of messages given. Given in a timely manner. Clearly spoken.

Many of the stories have an accompanying video which auto plays with sound when you click into them. Super annoying. Let me decide if I want the sound to be automatic or do not make it automatic at all. Will probably delete because of this.

A notification for every buckeye player. Uninstalled

The app is good overall but there are way too many notifications. Sports and weather events show up in news notifications even if sports, Buckeyes and weather is turned off. I liked the weather notifications but not when they wake me before 7am. So I had to turn them off. Only emergencies should interrupt sleep. With all that turned off I still received 96 notifications in a week!

Do not like audio reports start without selecting...least favorite site to use

Last thing I want is a stupid blaring video while sitting in a waiting room or somewhere public when I just want to read the news to pass the time. Terrible app.

Make it stop! If I want to watch the video, I can hit play.

I would much rather choose to play the corresponding video to the news story than to have it automatically play when I click on the article.

This morning my phone crashed as I was attempting to read the news and although it was at 100% it restarted after several minutes at 7%. Not the first time this has happened and it is more than annoying

Works pretty well, but frequently freezes on home page not allowing any tapping on stories. Have to close out, re-open app and start over. Frustrating. Almost every story has one or more spelling, grammar or usage error in it. Most commonly I see typo kind of errors such as the -s or -ed left off words, things that spell check won’t catch. Other times completely wrong word usage or major spelling error. Does not project a professional, educated image. Makes it look like you have 12 year olds writing and editing the stories.

I use the app frequently to catch up on local and world news. The large number of ads is distracting and the app tends to freeze easily or shut down entirely. I’d be willing to pay for an app with no ads that worked reliably.

It was working for awhile where you could just read and not watch video. Please put that back in. Thanks!

I hate the ads at the bottom of the articles. There must be a million ways I can tell if I have cancer and each one is laid out in an ad at the bottom of the page. Maybe they could find come classier advertisements.

Locks up constantly. Way too many “sponsored” articles in between actual news stories. Why do I need this frustration when other local news options are out there? I don’t. Deleting the app.

Good news, but keeps crashing/freezing. Many typos, very poor for a professional news station.

Ads play automatically when you click in a story - even when phone is on vibrate. Very annoying when you are in a quiet situation.

Living in Florida and missing Ohio, always check out your news!😎

I get frustrated with NBC 4 because I’m often seeing items on national and international news stations about Important events in Ohio, that are not reported on by NBC due to party affiliation issues. I keep trying to come back to the site, but I’m Probably going to delete the app, again, because I can’t rely on it to tell me about the important issues in my state.

I used to love this app. But that was before it was updated to automatically play ads associated with an article. I’d like to just read the article, but that’s impossible now without listening to the ad while reading the article. Turning the volume down is the only way to avoid it.

Can’t read the articles without noisy commercials that can’t be muted!

With the new update, the accompanying news story automatically plays with sound, whether you have your sound on or off. It usually plays with an ad beforehand, too, so you can’t shut it off, mute it, etc. I won’t be using this app or Channel 4 for my news anymore.

I missed Today’s show this morning, why was that not aired ? I keep writing the nick name and you keep saying ‘taken ‘ which can not be right .

Channel 10’s web site is laid out better. Easy to look at and navigate. Yours is not

It is easy to read beyond the thinly veiled biased reporting... when the app actually functions. However, frequently it does not. It is difficult to read the often sophomoric, poorly edited articles in an app that crashes the moment I attempt to open an article. Perhaps I should take this as an omen and look elsewhere for my news.

You click a news story and the advertising & commentary blasts. No way to turn if off except there volume. Delete!

Great app for news, weather, traffic, & sports for Columbus, Ohio.
