1. [R4] WIVB News 4 1/5 · US Too Many Ads: Had to uninstall, waaaayyyy too many ads. Pop-up ad when I open the app, timed ad before any video I watch, ads on top and bottom on every page.
2. [R25] WIVB News 4 1/5 · US The same ads … before and after every story.: It is so annoying! Uninstalled.
3. [R28] WIVB News 4 1/5 · US Bloated with adverts....: 5 minutes of commercials for every 2 minutes of news. This app is overwhelmed by various banners and averts that make watching the news almost impossible and slow on my iPad. Very biased news stories that promote many businesses and government but little real news. Also for every segment I have to unmute the sound until the next segment when I have to unmute it again and
4. [R29] WIVB News 4 5/5 · US Ads - wayyy too much: Too many ads before I can watch news clips.
5. [R10] WIVB News 4 1/5 · US Update broke it: Since updating, the app flickers when opened then I get a black screen.
6. [R13] WIVB News 4 1/5 · US Constantly crashing: App will not work more then 5 times without crashing once open. Horrible update. Are we going to get a working app anytime soon? Have uninstalled and re-installed twice. Still does it after 4-5 times opening it. Please fix!
7. [R44] WIVB News 4 1/5 · US Need an update ASAP: This app has been constantly crashing for the past few weeks. I think an update is needed
8. [R48] WIVB News 4 1/5 · US Awful news app: Crashes doing nothing. No content, Half articles telling you nothing. Advertising set to look like news articles mixed in with news articles. Complete garbage. An embarrassment to humankind.
9. [R9] WIVB News 4 3/5 · US Old news: Almost all the news on this is over 24 hours old You are better off looking elsewhere
10. [R24] WIVB News 4 3/5 · US Online: Too hard to follow and find topics. Not up to date.
11. [R27] WIVB News 4 3/5 · US Updates: There’s a lot of things happening in the world! All we here is local news about Kelly first. Then the weather second oh then you might hear local news! It would be nice to have current things on the app. Over the weekend it was the same news. While there are major things going on around the world unfortunately!
12. [R32] WIVB News 4 1/5 · US Not up to date: The stories on this site are generally outdated especially on the weekends. I won’t watch any of the Buffalo stations because it’s frustrating to wait an hour to hear a weather forecast. Tease after tease after tease. I don’t care about the wind direction and I can see the temperatures across the region. I don’t need Mike to read them to me.
13. [R3] WIVB News 4 3/5 · US Notifications: The app functions well. I do miss the ability to watch live from my phone in real time in the mornings. More customization of notifications would be appreciated. I’d like to receive Breaking news & Local news notifications without Sports. My Sports notifications are disabled, but some must be sent anyway when other notification groups are enabled.
14. [R16] WIVB News 4 1/5 · US Live: This app is horrible for watching the news live all I get is “we will be right back” I rather watch a commercial than dead air . then I would know it’s not buffering or loading.
15. [R21] WIVB News 4 3/5 · US Unreliable streaming: I mainly use the Channel 4 app to watch the noon news. I have a lot of trouble with it not coming up or hanging in the middle of a broadcast. It may be due to my device or wifi, but it seems to mostly happen with this app. Another complaint: see ing the same commercial several times during a broadcast, and many times during the week is very annoying.
16. [R12] WIVB News 4 3/5 · US Looking: Half the time I can’t find what I’m looking for since you changed it a while ago
17. [R18] WIVB News 4 3/5 · US Get posts: Swipe? Gotta watch to get the story. The other guys at least let me read more.
18. [R20] WIVB News 4 4/5 · US Finding info: When I get notifications on my phone, I can’t get the info on the website. If the news is going to be aired shortly, it won’t be written out. Sometimes I can’t watch and just want to read it. If you send notifications, have the story online.
19. [R46] WIVB News 4 2/5 · US Hard to find things on your app: Hard to find articles after receiving a notice & going back to re-read it. Also why can’t we view a story after its featured on TV on the news?
20. [R34] WIVB News 4 1/5 · US Stop the pop ups: Asking to send notifications all the time is annoying. I’m going to delete if it keeps up.
21. [R40] WIVB News 4 1/5 · US Spam Emails: This app will spam email you not matter notifications you choose in their settings. If you choose to “deliver notification silently” in the iPhone settings, WIVB will not longer send you notifications. They force you to accept the spam emails.
22. [R7] WIVB News 4 1/5 · US Sound: I love the app but I hate that is automatically silences anything playing on my phone when it’s opened. If I am not trying to watch something why does it take over my audio.
23. [R47] WIVB News 4 5/5 · US Don’t get it: What’s the point of giving someone the option to “disable” auto play on the video when it doesn’t work. Mine is disabled yet every time I click a story, BAM! People start talking and the video is playing. Fix it! Even after all these updates my app still plays the video! If this isn’t going to get fixed I will be uninstalling the app. Sorry not sorry 😐
24. [R51] Buffalo Bills Mobile 1/5 · US 👎👎👎👎👎: On Wgr you could listen OBL when you wanted. On the B app it get loaded 2-3 hrs after the show has ended. Such a fail since you moved it here I’ve only been able to listen ONCE. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
25. [R53] Buffalo Bills Mobile 3/5 · US So so: While the info is great the App is very inconsistent. Sometimes it works other times it just freezes up.
26. [R54] Buffalo Bills Mobile 1/5 · US App review: It lacks basic information and is not updated efficiently
27. [R55] Buffalo Bills Mobile 5/5 · US Bills: I love the Buffalo bills
28. [R65] WNEP The News Station 1/5 · US Weather: The latest update messed up the radar. It freezes then jumps ahead.. it sucks
29. [R66] WNEP The News Station 4/5 · US Sponsors: Find some new ones besides those stupid video games
30. [R67] WNEP The News Station 3/5 · US Good app Live TV isn't always love: The WNEP+ app is good except when I want to watch a live broadcast such as the news I can't always get the app to play it.
31. [R68] WNEP The News Station 1/5 · US App update: The new app update is horrible!!! How do you even find anything on it? It’s just an endless scroll of nothing. There’s no drop down menu for you to choose anything. No way to find local and regional sports info. No link to the community events page. No link to the Home and Backyard show/videos. The link for the weather doesn’t do anything. The page doesn’t load. I tried to fin
32. [R79] WHIO News 1/5 · US Worst news app ever: I’ve never seen a worse app on any platform. It’s nothing but ads that block what you try to see, stutter, stop you reading a story, and just generally get in the way of anything you want to do. Whio used to be my go-to. Not anymore.
33. [R80] WHIO News 5/5 · US Great info: Love Todd So I watch all of whip
34. [R81] WHIO News 3/5 · US Update: Often you run stories that are old. Same with the weather. I suggest you update more often. Thank you.
35. [R82] WHIO News 1/5 · US Horrible UI/UX and News Coverage: As a mobile developer I can attest to many of the comments on the user experience front. You receive a notification, tap on it, you are brought to the app but not the story, instead ads are everywhere takes forever to load and the auto playing of unrelated content is absolutely horrible. Good luck finding the arrival of the deep link isn’t valid. Don’t waste your
36. [R93] Buffalo News from WGRZ 1/5 · US New app terrible: NO menu. Who designed this????😡still terrible. !!!!!
37. [R94] Buffalo News from WGRZ 4/5 · US Yup morning “ comedy”: They might not say what they are trying to say that so they don’t get yourself in trouble, but I understand what you’re saying
38. [R95] Buffalo News from WGRZ 3/5 · US New app: Why won’t the weather work consistently. One day you can see a forecast the next you can’t
39. [R96] Buffalo News from WGRZ 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.
40. [R107] 13 ON YOUR SIDE News 1/5 · US Ui issues: Would be nice to see the entire list of articles without having to tap hold and slide screen up because advertising is keeping the full screen from being displayed
41. [R108] 13 ON YOUR SIDE News 4/5 · US Screen won’t rotate: Why won’t my screen rotate anymore? This is beyond frustrating! Please fix this.
42. [R109] 13 ON YOUR SIDE News 3/5 · US Website/app: I don’t want a pile of ads popping up when I’m trying to read an article. I can’t stand that you guys don’t edit your headlines before you post them because there’s always misspellings in them And quit sensationalizing all the news you start to sound like entertainment tonight
43. [R110] 13 ON YOUR SIDE News 1/5 · US Downgrade: The “new and improved” app is not user friendly. It is hard to find things. The weather is a mess. The radar does the same loop over and over instead if a true 12 hour loop.
