Channel 4 WIVB. Good site for news. Wish more topics were presented in the feed, and older ones went away sooner, as well as out of date items were deleted as updates were made available.

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, nor the user. Lose, lose lose situation. But that is a word that Buffalo is not a stranger of. Worst news app on my iOS device.

Not sure what’s going on. Recently there were no sponsor commercials during the station breaks and that was okay. But the station would be broadcasting and the app would “Be right back”. Now there are sponsor commercials but the app continues to break during the station news and weather! I don’t have much time to get ready in the morning and I would really like to see what’s happening before I leave the house.

Excellent coverage. Always right on when reporting the news. Enjoy the news team at this station.

Not easy. This site is not set up very well. It's not easy to navigate. Going from page to page just to read a story and back through pages just to get to another story. The weather page should have the upcoming days weather info together and not have to scroll down in two parts. Also this site is slow. Needs to be redesigned to get the news, weather and sports quicker without a lot of navigating.

Good app but send notifications outside personal settings. I have my settings set to notify me of closings and weather However throughout the day I’ll get “breaking” notifications pertaining to local, national and world news. It’s annoying to be notified of what the news agency believes to be important but personally I don’t care about the deaths of celebrities, arrest of local persons, or trade deals by two teams who have never nor in the foreseeable future win a championship.

WGRZ Channel 2. Easy to read the news by scrolling down. Tap to read full story. On many other apps, videos, ads take up entire screen. Cannot even read headlines. Impossible to close out.

Great News Updates. I was out of town and Channel 2 News updates kept me informed of everything happening locally.

Weather. Would appreciate it if the background music was LOWERED during the weather. Channel 2 is our go to channel for weather BUT the background music is distracting 😳

Sheltering at home in our RV in Florida.. We are able to keep a first hand look on the coronavirus in western NY. Will enable us to decide when to return to our home in Amherst. Honest info we can rely on.

Still Good Reading. Totally enjoyable reading even while we are here in Leland North Carolina for the winter. You capture the essence of Western NY by your coverage. While many newspaper readership is being compromised by usage of the internet, the News presents decent & reliable information. If you question the last sentence, spend some time reading daily newspapers in other comparable cities for awhile. By the way, our true home is Jamestown NY. A dear friend reminds me frequently that “you can take Ann out of Jamestown but you can’t take the Jamestown out of Ann.” She’s right.

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...

better since the update. Changing my rating from 2 to 3 stars. The reintroduction of past radar was much appreciated. I still feel like the ad intrusion is way too much. People are inundated with ads. I understand that ads equal money, but come on. Can’t even check the weather anymore without Custom Carpet Center taking up a quarter of the screen. I don’t need carpet, I want to check the news and weather.

Great news app!!. I find the app very helpful when I want to keep up with news or weather while I'm not at home. The breaking news alerts help me keep up with current happenings. The only part I don't care for is live videos while every time I watch one I have to sit through an advertisement makes no sense. If I want to watch an ad I'll wait for the news at home to sit through commercials.

Weekend updates. News reports just seem to be a little repetitive on the weekends...also would like to see what’s happening around in WNY during the weekend. Not sure if that is already available and if it is where can I look? Thank you for your time:) Lisa O.

DirectvTV brought Christmas sadness. I am currently watching parts of WGRZ on my phone as I currently have Direct TV. I miss my favorite channel and want to be able to watch it. I will be cancelling Direct TV by this afternoon and am going elsewhere just so I can get my favorite news channel back. You all are the best!!

Great place for updates on weather and sports. I moved from Buffalo to a small town south of Atlanta Georgia your app keeps me updated on everything that’s going on in my hometown of Buffalo. I am still die hard Bills fan.

SK. Eden. I count on you for current, accurate news. I appreciate the fact checking and your news team feels like family!

WGRZ2. I enjoy WGRZ2 very much. To me the app is very east and straight forward. I only have 2 opions pertaining to the TV coverage. I love all personalities that cover the news and weather and sports. Only 2 of the professionals are not pleasing to me. The morning news I have stopped watching because of Melissa Holmes. She is a diva and not the broadcasted she should act like. The other is Maria Genaro. She’s not a meteorologist so why does she act as she does. Elise is so very professional and she is a meteorologist. Why is Maria set up to be top notch. To me it’s a puzzle. So only speaking for myself I have turned to another channel during the 4 o’clock programming. Kate was so enjoyable before Maria joined in. Now it’s quite dumb. Just my option for all its worth. Thank you for letting me vent.

Thank you. Thank you channel 2 for being there for us all of the time

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 of family in Buffalo so this WGRZ app really is stellar in keeping me current as well as simple to use. Thank you so much to all the developers who have made this possible. Means so much.

Downright good for a local news app.. My dad loves the interactive radar. There’s iPad AND split view support. Push notifications. Obviously, the design could be nicer, but this app is very, very good. Keep it up. The only thing more I could ask for is an official Apple News channel, which is free. I do read most of my news in Apple News, so I sometimes miss out on WGRZ stories since you haven’t added it there.

Please Settle With Dish. I am very disheartened that the issue with Dish has not been resolved. We always watched the local and national news on Ch 2 and have always been impressed with the sincerity and professionalism of anchor Scott Levin. Having had many opportunities to compare WGR with other local stations due to the length of time this has dragged on, reinforces what we like about the WGR team.

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 which they shine at . I would recommend WGRZ to everyone especially people far away who still want to keep in Buffalo touch.

Weather reports. I don’t understand why some mornings there is a current weather report and some days it is from the night before. I always start my day with your weather report. Lately it is sometimes from the night before. I understand people have vacations etc but it is nice to be able to plan your day according to current conditions. I only watch your station and don’t want to look elsewhere for the weather.

Hair, makeup and dress. Is anyone paying attention to the women’s appearance? Uneven heavy eyebrows, lanky fake hair, dresses so tight that umbilicus is visible, enlarged lips. Please have these women take a good look in the mirror before they go on air, and tone it down.

Northern counties. They don’t pay enough attention to the northern county’s. (Orleans, Niagara) when it comes to news or weather. And to many commercials on the app. Takes forever to watch anything till you’ve listened to the same commercial over and over. But better than anything else out there.

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.

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 the news, it is blank. No news, I guess. Bring back the old version of this app! The update is terrible!

It’s good to know the updates. It is nice to know daily updates on important subjects. However, the weather end of the app needs help. It almost is never right and changes often, usually drastically. As if somebody just made a wild guess and the the day comes around and they were way off on their predictions.

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 conference * sports team lost * Sports coach is talking to the media * high school football game was cancelled * Sports coach is talking to the media * Taylor Swift has a new boyfriend * Sports coach is talking to the media

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!

Streaming issues. While streaming the news the app cuts out every few minutes right in the middle of a story. I then get a Jerry Springer commercial or I get a blue screen that says you will be back after a short break. These are not the normal commercial breaks. I have no problem streaming channel 4

Great source of local sports news.. Also…I just received a weather bulletin about severe thunderstorm warning in my area of Southwest Florida…from WGRZ2. I got it before any of my local TV stations. Very impressive! Thanks, Channel 2!

Unstable, no info, predatory ADs!. Impossible to use, no information, required ads half as long as segments, majority ads predatory, to include fake news(actual not current political jargon)(specifically ads made to look like informative news articles), app jumps around screen enough to give headache and actually unable to view articles or select video.

Channel 2weather and news.. I'm new to having your app. But I was warned the other day of possible tornado and was surprised. Thankful for that! Tv cable gone so I can keep track of what's going on in the area with your news and weather app. Glad to be connected!

Outstanding. I watch it every day 4:30 AM and turn it back on from 5 PM all the way to 6:30 PM outstanding show wouldn’t watch nobody else

My Favorite News Station. I always watch Channel 2 and now have their Apps on my phone. I always feel well informed when following Channel 2.

My favorite. Always my favorite place to find the news and weather.

Please less lawyer commercials there is enough suing going on!. It’s ridiculous already but it not only on 2 but 4 and 7 why are they targeting the news media to inundate us!!!

The best news broadcast!!. Only watch channel 2!! Reporting is excellent! Start and end my day with precision weather reports, and up to the minute news.

Great news channel. I like that when I receive a banner of news that the info is actually there. Some tv channels give a banner, but no details unless you listen to their live news. Love WGRZ!

I like the app. Sometimes it is hard to navigate and always have to watch commercial Before I get the story. Do not like that. It does provide quick access to breaking g news and ongoing news.

Updating Takes Forever!. While I enjoy using this app for news and weather, I have little patience when it is not in use. There have been countless occasions when it is updating. When this happens I get a blank screen with a blue swirly symbol. The process can sometimes take hours! This is unacceptable and I hope the technical team can improve this.

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.

FAVORITE NEWS. Enjoy watching WGRZ first thing in the morning, along with the other times of broadcasting. I feel all there are welcomed every day into my home. You All do a great job keeping WNY informed. Keep up the good work!

Snow. 5 star rating 4 all of you. Thank you for all you do to keep us all informed. I love all of you At Chanel 2 on your side. Keep up the good work

Love the up dates. Southern tier here. We love to know what’s going on. Your weather team is spot on!! The best. One thing I don’t like is if there is a live update or the Governor is speaking, you click on it and have to listen to a commercial first, not hearing all of the speech. I know you have to pay the bills also though.

Channel 2 app. It’s a pretty good local news app. Could use a little more sports. Probably a few too many updates. If I get updates from this app they should be local, not national. Could do more local picture pages and event reviews.

Maybe, but not.. Where is the watch live news tab/ button? I have had to watch it on the browser to watch news as I could not find any place to activate live news. The more I use it the less I like it. Old app was far better. This is another instance where new is not better. But it is real smooth on the crashes. Unless it gets better, I will probably delete it.

Love the weather reporting!!!. This is the best station for weather. Patrick and Maria are the best!!!! I watch Channel2 From Toronto. Great Weather Reporting!! I depend on your forecasts. Love ya from Toronto Canada. April Max-Martin

Review. Totally better than the last app

WGRZ. WGRZ is the best station. I watch from Ft. Erie every day.

Weather. I enjoyed to old app in 2 points. 1 before you could drop a pin on, in my life, my trailer in Angelica NY 2 opened up and the weather radar was right there on top. Very handy during our spice weather periods. Ie blizzard, lake effect, extreme weather etc. Not saying my idea beat others. Simply it is handing when weather is on our mind in a snap Thanks. Stay safe. Jack

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Ch 2. App is always updated & very informative.

Nice and easy to navigate. Love the app as much as watching the news live.😊

Wgrz. Breaking news updates so needed during the snowstorm. Thanks

Very convenient. Information readily accessible and offered for free

Adds. The adds before a update or a live broadcast we miss some information being broadcast!!!

Too many Ads. Every time you open a story with video content it starts, briefly, then an Ad comes up. Watch the Aad and sometimes your video plays, sometime not.

From West Africa. Great News! Reading and viewing in Guinea Bissau West Africa From Buffalo Maritza Alvarez Retired teacher Thank you for such great news!

Useful but Slow. Slow loading on my phone. In addition the interactive Doppler radar doesn't seem to work well or display a time. But I still like the app it does its job.

Great way to stay informed. The WGRZ app is a great way to stay informed

WGR web page. The old format was better. Why should I have to sign in to take a poll ? Slow to responsiveness.

Auto play videos don’t shut off. I like the less cluttered layout better, but even with auto-play video turned off in settings, they still automatically play.

Review. Way to many commercials on this site.

Snow?. Where’s all the snow? I have less than a dusting. Brrr, but that wind is cold.

Needs major improvements. Glitches everytime I open it. The screen freezes.

Mary.. Great site! It’s where I get my local news and weather

Terrible. New app just takes you around in circles and updates before you’re done reading. The old version was easier to navigate. Deleting this app it’s horrible.

Thankful when cable out. Cable off I love Daybreak so happy to stream on my phone

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!

Good app. Like the news, updates, things 2 do... sometimes the app will not let me adjust what I am watching and then restarts.

Too many ads. This app is more about ads than the news it seems.

Vacation!. Enjoying wgrz In Aruba - Buffalo Bills are the talk of the Town today In Aruba!! Go Bills!!

Love!. Love your news delivery and reporting! Very personable and detailed. Keep up the great work! God bless all of you during this season.

App. I do not like this app I like the old one better you have more on the old one You are missing a lot Thruway cameras the Canadian border cameras Matt granite the deal guy !!!!!!!

Too repeative. Website is never up to date, and repeats the same stories throughout the day / weather is never updated. Usually a day off and not Informative .

Rich. I am a fisherman and boater so I love the weather!!

Commercials. When I click on a news alert link to a live broadcast, don’t force me to watch an ad. Today the live press conference with the president, THE PRESIDENT, was interrupted by a freakin window commercial. Everyday with the Cuomo live stream, commercial. Weather alert? Commercial. Imagine doing that on live TV!

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.

I love Channel 2!. I love y’all so much I use this app & watch it all the way from CO!! You have the best anchors, reporters, and photographers but my personal favorite is the “Chief” photojournalist Andy DeSantis!!

FAVORITE NEWS STATION. We watch because of Michael Wooten! He’s the best, love his one in one stories!

Excellent. Good app. Clear video and sound and informative to a tee.

Needs work. App needs work. Frequently buffers and fails to load content. When working properly content is very helpful.

The weather forecast. They feel confident about there forecasts, and most times they are wrong about it

No ability to share stories via text or email. Buffalo local stations are not big on sharing. This problem exists with both Channel 2 WGRZ & 4 WIVB applications.

Better news app. Nice interface, wide range of content.

Great app. I enjoy this app! It is great for getting news & weather at a glance!

Keeping Informed. As a former WNYer, I like keeping in touch with what is going on in NY. I even get weather related warnings for what is going on here in Texas. Love the app.

Wgrz. Love morning show and More Buffalo. It’s our go-to station

Awarenessangel. Always keeps me updated with the masters news

Constantly freezes. Do some updates on the app, keep it simple, half the time the app will just go completely frozen.

The new news format. I like your previous format much better😢

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

5 stars. Very happy with information they provide.

Watch Live. Finding your watch “Live” on my iPhone is impossible

Easy to navigate. Easy to navigate the app and find the news updates.

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.

Too many Ads. Great for watching ads for the true crime network on repeat with some news sprinkled in.

Absolutely terrible. Hate this app. Have switched to wivb channel 4.

WGRZ2 is the best. Love the WGRZ2 app- it is easy to navigate and has the important news of the day at your fingertips. This is the first place I go for my local news.

Wake up notifications. Your app is useless! Seriously you need to push stupid notifications at 10:40 pm that are absolutely useless old news

STORM 11/22. Great coverage of the storm!! Thank you for all the hard work you do!!
