Customizable Breaking News Alerts

Users begin by enabling push notifications during the initial setup of the NBC News app. They can then fine-tune these alerts within the settings menu, selecting specific topics of interest like politics, health, or entertainment. When major news breaks, the app instantly sends a notification to the user's device. Tapping this alert opens the full article or video report directly within the NBC News application, providing immediate context and details from trusted correspondents.

On-Demand Streaming of NBC News Shows

This function allows users to catch up on full episodes of flagship programs. After opening the NBC News app, users navigate to the ‘Shows’ section, which catalogs recent episodes of broadcasts like NBC Nightly News and Meet the Press. They simply tap on an episode to begin streaming it immediately. This provides a seamless way to watch in-depth reporting and interviews on demand, ensuring you never miss critical analysis from the NBC News team.

Live Video Coverage with NBC News NOW

For continuous coverage of unfolding events, users access the dedicated NBC News NOW live stream. Located prominently on the app's home screen, a single tap launches the 24/7 live video feed. This feature is essential during major events like elections or breaking news, offering real-time reporting and expert commentary. The stream includes a live chat for some events, enabling a more interactive viewing experience directly within the NBC News platform.

Personalized Local News and Weather

The app delivers geographically relevant information by requesting location access permissions. Users enter their zip code or allow GPS detection to activate this feature. The NBC News app then aggregates headlines from local affiliate stations and provides severe weather alerts for the user's specific area. This creates a personalized feed that combines national reporting from NBC News with crucial community updates, all in one place.

MSNBC Live Audio Streaming

This feature provides a live audio feed of the MSNBC television broadcast. Users find it in the ‘Audio’ or ‘Live’ tab within the NBC News app. Selecting it starts a continuous stream of the current MSNBC programming, functioning like a radio broadcast. This is ideal for consuming news while commuting or when users want to listen passively without requiring a cable login, offering a direct audio connection to MSNBC’s commentary.

Election and Special Event Hubs

During major events like elections, the NBC News app creates a dedicated hub. Users open the app to find a central portal featuring live results maps, real-time delegate counts, and analysis from political experts. They can navigate through different tabs for national and state-level results, watch live anchor commentary, and read instant updates. This organized approach from NBC News ensures users have all necessary information in a single, easy-to-follow interface.

Article Saving for Offline Reading

To read content without an internet connection, users utilize the save feature. While reading any article on the NBC News app, they tap a bookmark icon to store it to a personal list. Later, they can access all saved stories from their profile menu. This downloaded content remains available for reading offline, making the NBC News app a reliable tool for catching up on reports during a commute or in areas with poor connectivity.
