1. [R13] 5/5 · US Local news and sports: WGRZ is my channel for local news and sports. We live in Duke Center Pa and it’s the only station where we get for news for our area and surrounding communities.
2. [R18] 5/5 · US WGRZ.: I can actually say WGRZ is the only station I watch for news of any kind. I’ll watch other stations for programs but all news is always Channel 2...
3. [R31] 5/5 · US Good news even when it’s not!: I don’t live in Buffalo and haven’t for some time but I have many friends who are there and I visit several times a year. I really like keeping in the Buffalo know (not snow😉) and WGRZ is perfect at keeping me informed. The news people and sports reporters are terrific. They are on top of all the national stories but more of an interest to me is the local coverage w
4. [R36] 5/5 · US Better news app: Nice interface, wide range of content.
5. [R24] 3/5 · US Morning show is the best: Love the morning show with Pat Gallivan, Melissa H and Patrick H! Although when Kevin O does the weather I switch to Ch 4!
6. [R12] 5/5 · US My morning team: I truly enjoy the journalism. The Show is a must watch every morning
7. [R11] 5/5 · US Best News Channel: I grew up watching channel 2 news! It’s the best! The best anchors best weather people and the best staff! I live to watch channel 2 because I love everyone’s sense of humor! It’s never boring and makes my day before I got to work!
8. [R25] 5/5 · US Morning show: I just love Pete Galvin and Patrick and everything is done so professional and informative. There couldn’t be a better morning show. Melissa is not my favorite, she acts phoney. And no one really needs to hear about her kid. She is the Kelly from Kelly and mark. Sometimes her outfits are inappropriate.
9. [R40] 5/5 · US Always dependable: I can always count on their weather reporting for accuracy and timely reporting. Their stories are current and very interesting. Love this channel and their app!
10. [R46] 5/5 · US Rich: I am a fisherman and boater so I love the weather!!
11. [R33] 5/5 · US My favorite: Always my favorite place to find the news and weather.
12. [R15] 5/5 · US West Coast Review: Fantastic app. I have it downloaded on all my devices as well as Apple TV. Out of all the Buffalo News Apps this one is my favor. First of all I love the Good Morning etc greetings depending on the time of day. Secondly I love that you can watch replays of the news 7 days a week. Also enjoy the extra programming and Mass on Sunday at OLOV. I’m a Californian but have a ton o
13. [R59] 5/5 · US Thankful when cable out: Cable off I love Daybreak so happy to stream on my phone
14. [R244] 3/5 · US My "take" on the update...: First off--this app was in desperate need of an update, so I'm glad it was finally updated. Here's the pros: •Live streams ACTUALLY work now and it seems to load faster. The old app's live steams of the news stopped showing up for me on both the ipad and iphone app, so it's nice to see them back and functioning. •It's nice that in the weather category, they actually ha
15. [R1] 1/5 · US New app terrible: NO menu. Who designed this????😡still terrible. !!!!!
16. [R6] 1/5 · US Garbage: Update was needed but now has too much going on and have to keep clicking to find something. No search bar ? ..And biggest of all no way to re-watch the most recent broadcast ?? Garbage app and deleting it. 👋
17. [R117] 1/5 · US Updated app pathetic: Whoever designed the updated app should apologize. If something works and is not broke, why ruin it. I deleted the app, it’s easier to use their website
18. [R119] 2/5 · US Update gone bad: The old app was good - easy to use, informative, etc. Then they updated it. Now it is terrible. Hard to find anything. The weather radar is not close to accurate. When I looked at it to see when a rain shower might pass, it didn’t even show that there was rain in my area - we had a significant amount of rain! The app on my phone is even worse. When you click on topics to get t
19. [R16] 1/5 · US App freezes: I’ve downloaded the app several times because it freezes after about a week every time. I delete it then redownload it and it’s good for a short while then the process repeats
20. [R116] 1/5 · US Updates are horrible!: I’ve used this app for several years and have been pleased. The recent updates are slow to load and the app freezes on my phone constantly.
21. [R120] 1/5 · US Disappointed: The old app worked much better!! This one is extremely slow to load and the weather section is not as user friendly as it used to be. Very disappointed!
22. [R125] 1/5 · US App crashes: App crashes every single time.
23. [R29] 2/5 · US Too many Ads: Great for watching ads for the true crime network on repeat with some news sprinkled in.
24. [R52] 1/5 · US Ads ruin this app and the user xperience: Especially the fact that every video starts with a mandatory ad ruins the user experience of this app. To make matters worse, there is only one ad that you are forced to watch over and over and over again from Custom Carpet Centers, since they are the only company that advertise here. Not only doesn’t this help Custom Carpet Centers, but neither the app, n
25. [R54] 1/5 · US Doesn’t Work… Mostly Ads: The app has its own set of Ads and it also shows the stations local ads. The app ads do not coincide with the local ad breaks. It constantly interrupts the live news for ads. In the end, you hardly watch any local news and mostly ads.
26. [R69] 1/5 · US Sooo many ads: Can’t find the full news story. Ads every 15 sec.
27. [R3] 1/5 · US Updates are making it worse!: Stop with the “bug fixes” that just create a worse user experience. The 24 hour Future no longer works and hides the radar features as soon as you click on that option, which is the main thing I look at. As well as I still have to keep zooming into my pre-set location to actually see anything useful. Looks like I’m going back to the Weather Channel app.
28. [R4] 3/5 · US New app: Why won’t the weather work consistently. One day you can see a forecast the next you can’t
29. [R8] 1/5 · US Ugh: They rolled out a new format last night and it sucks. It’s a dumbed down version of the previous app. The weather section is horrendous with this huge circle that covers the area and you can’t see the radar through it. Dumb.
30. [R35] 2/5 · US Buggy app, annoying push notifications: I cannot see new articles without force closing and reopening the app. And the push notifications that WGRZ bothers me with are super annoying. I do not need to be interrupted for inane “stories” like: * sport team won * three women are suing a spiritual retreat community because they were denied becoming mediums * politician scheduled a routine news con
31. [R62] 1/5 · US Wake up notifications: Your app is useless! Seriously you need to push stupid notifications at 10:40 pm that are absolutely useless old news
32. [R152] 1/5 · US Too many notifications!: I used to love this app but in the last couple months they have been sending way too many notifications! I don't need to be notified 10x's a day about unimportant stuff! Annoying!
33. [R155] 3/5 · US Average: The push notifications are very often for dumb things. To watch the weather video takes far too many steps.
34. [R5] 2/5 · US Not So iPad Friendly: Latest version is not so user friendly. Hardly works in the landscape mode. I mainly use this for watching live news or the weather. In the new live news there is a dark bar in the lower 1/3 of the screen that is used for the control buttons. It doesn’t disappear like in other apps after using it. This makes it very difficult to see headlines/titles Ch. 2 puts at the bottom o
35. [R122] 1/5 · US Horrible: New app is NOT user friendly! Also, does NOT work with older phones! Can download on my new iPad but not older iPhone
36. [R93] 3/5 · US Video errors: The videos do not play appropriate but the articles are good.
37. [R127] 3/5 · US Functionality Issue: I like the app to keep up on local news but whenever I try to open an article from a notification I can never swipe up the ad to see the article, it’s always frozen. I can only access if I go directly into the app. This is very annoying. I don’t have any other functionality issues with the app.
38. [R140] 1/5 · US Terrible performance!!: When attempting to watch a news video, the commercial ALWAYS plays. Then the screen goes black and the news video never plays!!!! Update: 10/10/17. It is happening more and more!!! If there is no video, THEN THERE SHIULD BE NO COMMERCIAL!!!!
39. [R141] 1/5 · US Junk: Crashes constantly, videos will not play after watching add, poor quality app.
40. [R75] 1/5 · US Drains the battery in background: Drained my phone from 100% to 0% overnight. Uninstalled from my tablet and phone because of the problem.
41. [R7] 1/5 · US What’s wrong with your app?: It worked fine for months then last month it doesn’t work any more. I’ve removed it and redownloaded on TWO separate Roku TVs. It won’t stay on. Oh well. Ch 4 app works great
42. [R47] 2/5 · US Needs work: App needs work. Frequently buffers and fails to load content. When working properly content is very helpful.
43. [R111] 3/5 · US Your new look: Liked it a lot better before that latest change. Difficult to read,access, go to news 4 first now, as there format on iPhone is simpler to read, and access. Go back to your original design before this latest one.
44. [R22] 1/5 · US Doppler Radar Doesn’t Load: Ever since the ads were increased on the Doppler Radar page, the Radar has rarely worked, and not without issue in the rare event it does load.
