| 2024-11-02 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-03-21 |  | | 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! |
| 2023-11-10 |  | | 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. |
| 2023-11-06 |  | | I think of ridiculous when I try to go and watch the live news and it has 10 minutes of commercial before I can even get to the live news. You need to do something about these commercials the ridiculous. I know you have to have some to have the app 10 minutes of commercials and very little news know think you I think I'm going to delete the app |
| 2022-11-15 |  | | HOT STEAMY PILE OF GARBAGE - I don't know who re-did your app however it's completely cluttered with so many ads that it takes forever JUST LOAD WEATHER. I do not want to have to watch an ad to get my local weather Just want to see the weather. I would highly recommend making an app just for weather. I use channel 2 and the weather channel It's quick it's easy and giving the information within seconds. |
| 2022-05-18 |  | | App never works, videos don't load, pictures don't load. You can click on a current story or weather and it gives you a story or weather from 3 weeks ago. I've had this app for years and News 4 has yet to fix the bugs. Terrible, News 4 you pride yourself so much and you turn out a product like this, it sucks fix it already |
| 2021-08-21 |  | | Why force me to look at all of your breaking news? The alerts are extremely annoying at best. Update to allow them to be turned off, or I will be deleting this app. |
| 2021-06-21 |  | | Not as good as the old setup. Too much news and ads makes app slow and buffer.. When you just want to check weather...you're better off sticking your head out the window..this app stinks. |
| 2021-05-15 |  | | I like the new layout of Channel 4 WIVB! Most of the notifications are not working. The video streaming keeps buffering under wi-fi |
| 2021-03-17 |  | | Update is a total failure. It either doesn't work at all or freezes up. Disappointing. Will uninstall. |
