An editorial reading of the saved reviews

The official NBC app gives access to shows and sports without a paid subscription, but watch progress is not saved, AirPlay is unreliable, and live streams require a cable provider link.

What users experience

2 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

I watch episode but in the end, wherever I pause it or stop at, the app doesn't keep track of it, but instead tries to play it from the very beginning the next time. I am forced to FF and watch ad after ad after ad to get to where I paused/stopped?

Hi, the app struggles with the airplay logo to pop up when you're trying to cast, it gets buggy as well when you finally get to cast. The audio plays from the TV but the pictures remains playing on my phone then changes back to the screen.
