  1. [R1] 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. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
  2. [R4] Buffalo Bills Mobile 1/5 · US App review: It lacks basic information and is not updated efficiently
  3. [R6] Buffalo Bills Mobile 3/5 · US Video needs rewind feature.: I live OBL and used to listen from the beginning when convenient. Since the show has been on the app, I cannot listen from the beginning until the show is finished. Inconvenient and now I often do not listen to the show. Please correct.
  4. [R9] Buffalo Bills Mobile 3/5 · US One Bills Live: I miss One Bills Live being on WGR550. I could rewind the show on the Audacy app, if I missed the beginning of the show. It’s also hard to leave the show on background to browse.
  5. [R3] 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.
  6. [R7] Buffalo Bills Mobile 1/5 · US Horrible!: This app is so poorly designed it’s comical to think people were paid to create it!
  7. [R10] Buffalo Bills Mobile 1/5 · US Bad move to take OBL and game calls from WGR.: Made it less convenient by removing content from WGR, and then not making the audio background playback with the app doubles down on the inconvenience. Nothing else to use this app for other than OBL and now my listening time for that show is all but nonexistent.
  8. [R36] Buffalo Bills Mobile 1/5 · US Ads: It’s crazy how you have to listen to three ads about gambling back to back to back every time. Also, if a phone call interrupts, you have to click live radio again and listen to those same ads again.
  9. [R40] Buffalo Bills Mobile 1/5 · US Waste of a website: This used to be a really great website. Now it’s all about the advertisements and there is little useful content.
  10. [R50] Buffalo Bills Mobile 1/5 · US Notifications: Just turned on some notifications yesterday. My iPhone showed 2 notifications. Open the app and nothing looks new
  11. [R63] 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.
  12. [R54] Buffalo Bills Mobile 1/5 · US Unknown charge: When downloading the app a mysterious charge from Apple came up 107.99. If I knew there would be a charge for the app I would never have downloaded it
  13. [R13] Buffalo Bills Mobile 1/5 · US Poor effort: Issues connecting at times. Will nor run in the background, doesn’t cast, consumes a lot of power.
  14. [R19] Buffalo Bills Mobile 1/5 · US Radio app sucks: Radio app will not allow you to play in background if you wanna go to a different screen on your phone not up-to-date like iHeartRadio
  15. [R64] 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.
  16. [R85] WIVB News 4 1/5 · US The same ads … before and after every story.: It is so annoying! Uninstalled.
  17. [R88] 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
  18. [R89] WIVB News 4 5/5 · US Ads - wayyy too much: Too many ads before I can watch news clips.
  19. [R69] 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
  20. [R84] WIVB News 4 3/5 · US Online: Too hard to follow and find topics. Not up to date.
  21. [R87] 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!
  22. [R93] 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.
