  • 2 big names using each other to help one another out. The way it should be. Good, free app. This helps Microsoft and NBC. Simple as that.

  • NBC is a little late to the party when it comes to news apps, but with their brand power, it shouldn’t matter too much. Nice move for both companies. I’ll check this app out.

  • Looks like a solid app. Nothing more, nothing less. All news apps are pretty much the same. This has NBC attached to it though, so it’ll be popular.
