Awful since the redo. Idk who's bright idea it was but they should be fired. There was nothing wrong with the way it was. Now it's a mess and the radar is terrible.

We're in the Buffalo WIVB viewing area & LOVE watching their news live. We hate not watching WIVB even tho within viewing area. Eating out one day in Buffalo & couldnt see the news. DLed this app so we could watch news live as we dined. Clicked on watch news live, instantly popped up ads etc. The "live" broadcast was the PRE-telecasted MORNING news hours ago! Tried it twice by clicking on WATCH NEWS LIVE with same results. Deleted useless app & so disappointed in WIVB. NOT happy at all!

Wish I could give this trash app zero stars. Hasn't opened correctly or at all in days. As if that's anything new. Nice job WIVB. What a top notch technical team. Once again, nothing new with this app never working.
