TV App for NBC News

I remember using Roku and finding the NBC News app (which has the MSNBC and Today properties under it...I was confused). And lo and behold the Roku app was nothing like it's phone app nor the NBC News website. All of it was confusing and not well built.

They have anchors host 60-minute programming but didn't have the ability to watch each host separately. You could only easily watch their featured programs or clips from throughout the day which is different from how their website is structured. They allow you to choose each host's show.

One of the most annoying things was that I couldn't watch live. That wasn't the most important thing all the time, but when I wanted to I was only permitted to listen which would be helpful for a car ride or a walk.

Alas, I brightened their dark tv app (sure in settings you could switch to the darker version) and set out pages for specific things like Shows (can be seen on my Instagram: jordannguyen.ux) or the 2020 election.

Excuse my stream of conscious. Hope you like the design!
