Kind of like the quantity of local news but the notifications are overwhelming. I wish it would just send one notification and then let me scroll through all the updates after I click on it. Also,the read/unread function doesn't work well. If I read an article from a notification it does not update the list within the app. Very annoying and wastes my time clicking on articles I have already read.

This app has SO MANY ADS! This app also gives you notifications that will leave your phone on until you dismiss them. I was out and had a full battery. I checked my phone and it was down to 15 percent because of a notification that left my phone on. If I had an emergency or something, I wouldn't have been able to call anyone because of the stupid feature. This app does not care about your safety.

So Close. Love the UI and social element. NB does a great job at striking a balance between local, national, and international news. My ONLY complaints are 1) Many external news links lead to paywall sources or are clickbate 2) All notifs off and yet NB still emails me headliners 3) The grotesque ads all throughout the app. news sites are infected w/chumbox ads that appear below the story. But these gross images are all throughout the articles; making for an UNPLEASANT user experience. Edited

Turned off ALL notifications for this app, and yet the app still sends notifications that freeze up my lock screen. If it can't be trusted to follow the simple task of not sending notifications, when notifications are turned completely off, I'd hate to see what else it's doing without permissions. Uninstalled instead and if I could rate lower, I would.

Good app, only complaints are how they give me the same notification twice, making me have to slide the same one away twice and too many notifications. Literally had to turn off notification sound for it. Otherwise, it's great. I was able to get Girl Scout cookies on their last day selling them. A couple of months ago, when I thought they were gone for the year, this app told me they were still selling them, but it was the last chance for this year to get them.
