WBBH NBC2 News - Fort Myers

Now if you prefer to read an article rather than watch the video you only have a small window under the video to read about 2 lines at a time. I prefer to read the articles and not disturb the people around me. I’ll look for another news app.

All the widgets are showing : WBBH is offline. Why ?

I’m tired of getting woken up in the morning!

I have 4K Apple TV devices and the app just acts like it’s loading but never does. Tried uninstalling but doesn’t work still. No trouble with any other apps.

I’m a fan of televised NBC-2. I thought I’d be a fan of their app. Unfortunately, the contents within the app appear to be the product of an employee the station holds onto just because they’ve been together forever. It’s lazy newscasting at its finest. Minimal amount of new stories daily, backed by articles up to two weeks old that try to make the app look relevant. NBC-2, you’re better than that, fix it. Between local, state, national and world events, there should be no reason to hold two week old content on your news app. For that matter, I believe it should be more than a couple days old before it’s removed.

Why are there stories over a month old still in the feed??? Purge old stories after a specific time period (like a week, not > 30 days). While the news cycle may be slower in SWFL as opposed to larger markets I’m sure you can find more recent and relevant filler pieces.

The news part is just fine, but the amount of ads is ridiculous.

Biased news

Ever since the last update, videos will not play on iPad. You get a warning that says the format is not supported by the browser.

UPDATE 7/25/2020 I was forced to update when I realized the news stories were all 3 days old. App works on iPad but not iPhone 11 running iOS 13.6. iPad version is all I can review : Newest UI version is AWFUL. Picture blocks TOO big. Please just list headlines !!! And where did the local section go??? Some of us just want to read local headlines. Deleting NBC !!! ****************************** This is my everyday go-to app, but it definitely needs some improvements. I think the UI of the older version was more user friendly. Here are some suggestions: TRAFFIC - it is accurate and helpful, but difficult to navigate. The two finger pinch is tough and it often zooms back out causing me to lose my place, and start all over. It is VERY FRUSTRATING and needs fixed. It also should be on a tab EASIER TO GET TO when in a hurry to check traffic conditions. NOTIFICATIONS - notifications no longer have their own tab. This was a nice feature in the old version. I could view them anytime if I cleared from my notification screen. Additionally, sometimes clicking on a notification doesn’t take me to the link. LOCAL NEWS - there should be a section on the app dedicated to just LOCAL news - similar to website.
