Video won’t play. Video won’t play just keep getting same advertisement over and over. Very disappointed.

No WIVB reception.. Since WIVB changed their broadcast signal, back in April of 2018, I think,I and many other people I’ve talked with can no longer receive their broadcast. I’ve purchased an HD antenna, and rescanned the channels numerous times to no avail. I am very disappointed in WIVB’s “attempt” to fix the issues, even though I’ve been told by them, that their technicians are looking into the issue.

Don’t like. I don’t like this app due to graphics and information not compatible with phones. As well, the news isn’t really news. It’s a lot of articles complaint about this or that. It makes it seems like Buffalo residents complain about a lot. And the so called “news” isn’t up to date when you need it.

Spot on. Thank you all for doing a great job telling us know about the weather before it gets to are part of the world. I named this spot because I feel your team of meteorologist do a fantastic job for us. Thank you once again from Allegany County for my family to yours .

Ads - wayyy too much. Too many ads before I can watch news clips.

App is disappointing. I find the fact that when I receive a news alert to a story I would like to share with my family or a friend that there is no ability to text them a link to it from the app. This is always the case when I’m viewing a story that I became aware of through a notification. Please fix this oversight!!

Problem appears to be solved. I’m revising my previous comment. The problem appears to be taken care of, or at least the pop-ups are not as frequent like they where, making it impossible to watch the app at all. If they could make the ones that do happen while the news anchors take a break so that it doesn’t interrupt the story you’re trying to watch it would be perfect like it was before.

Perfect app except…. The only improvement I would make is to hire a proof reader for the stories. Many typos & spelling errors.

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.

News 4 Weather. Todd Santos gives an outstanding report West but Kaylie Went’s report is useless March 11 at 11:00 pm. She gives no direction or amplitude of the wind with no clouds that she says is going to bring cooling to Western NewYork. Todd always gives a complete and through report. He show what to expect in every portion of every county of western NewYork, through with how much snow and how it will affect roads for travel, melt for flooding, type and amount of precipitation, a clear and complete report!!!!!!

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 😐

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.

Great Team. We love WIVB! All of it! The weather forecasters are spot on and are passionate about getting it right! The anchors present news not opinions. The sportscasters show a live for their work and teams! WIVB is a team in action not just words! 5+ Stars

App No Longer Functioning. App hasn’t worked on my IPad for months, There’s no option on your website to report this problem. IT Support email would be very helpful here. Thanks

Awesome news. I grew up in springville my young life, I remember channel 4 news when Don Paul first started. Always count on the news 4 team

Always with me. When we spend the winter in Florida most every morning I open my channel 4 app to see what’s going on at home....

Constant pop ups. If you want a news app that has constant pop ups and cookies, so much that you can’t see or read the news, this is the app for you.

Update? Seriously?. Every time I go on either the Ch 4 or Ch 4 weather app, I’m instructed to update, then redirected to the app in the App Store. Wake up, I’ve done this 20 or30 or maybe50 Times. NO UPDATE WAS THERE. I still don’t get full stories ———- Later in the week: Update? What update? I can’t update because I am updated. I am updated to the app itself matching what is the top update. Hello, Ch 4, FIX THE HOMEPAGE OR THE APPM, whichever is the issue!

News 4. I love this this is the best app to look at the weather

Newest update will not recognize Wifi. Newest update won’t recognize WiFi connection. I’m not using my cellular data to view the news through this broken app. It doesn’t even show all of the stories half the time.

channel 4 Review. I love channel 4 for all the News up dates. The daily weather reports ,social and special events all through Erie County and the surrounding area ... I’m grateful for the interruptions of local stations when there is special announcements in remaining to bring forth the news around the world . It is straight News from the source or sources and not FAKE News. Been a viewer since I can remember and will continue to choose Channel 4. Every news caster and behind the scenes workers should be proud of what they bring to channel 4 News Thank You Denise Dominiak Fan of Channel 4 News

Storm watch. Ok to let us know about storm and tornado warnings but not for a straight 1/2 hour! The announcer repeated herself more than seven times. I counted. Banners at bottom are better

You required an update?. The internet was down for 5 days because of the worst blizzard in Buffalo history. Cell service was all we had as a source of news. THAT’S when you decided to require an update before I could openthe app? Made it useless until internet came back.

The potential is there. The app is OK, but takes a long time to load past the splash screen, and before the requisite ads. When viewing many notifications, the only info written or available is the same as the headline that brought you there. And a lot of the news is only "news" because there's no other news. Which is probably a sign of a relatively healthy community considering "if it bleeds, it leads". So, in summary, it's slow to load.

Old news. Almost all the news on this is over 24 hours old You are better off looking elsewhere

No video. For about a month I had no video just commercials, now I have to load video twice just to watch.

News 4 Mobile App. I enjoy the weather updates on the app. They always seem the most accurate. The news stories are limited. I feel there could be more news content.

Lies. Channel 4 and Verizon have the same union therefore Verizon (fios) never gets any bad press from chan 4. Never. Makes perfect sense, because why would they have bias stories about Spectrum. Every time there is a change or a rate change Channel 4 is all over it. Hello, fios customers get rate hikes all the time and pay some of the most outrageous monthly rates I have ever seen. Also, Fios has not expanded into Buffalo, Niagara county or anywhere south of Hamburg. But they love to run news about how “behind” we our on our line extensions. I think people are starting to catch on to the links between your unions and the news that never gets reported.

Web page. Having a travel advisory/ban link on your main page is huge! It really helps making travel decisions without having to search threw 100’s of closing.

Channel 4 news. The ONLY station I watch for accurate weather! The ONLY station I watch for news of Any kind! Love all the broadcasters! My Hometown!❤️

If I wanted to watch TV I would, just give the news.. I keep getting notifications of stories, go to read the story and all it says is to watch the news at whatever time it is. If I wanted to be stuck to the TV I would be, but I'm not a person who sits around all day to watch the news, that's why I downloaded the app to be able to read the news when just wanted. Too late now, I've uninstalled the wivb app because of the false notifications.

annoying notifications etc.... i get an insane amount of notifications even though i only have local forecast turned on for them. The ad that i have to swipe up on every time is the reason i deleted its very annoying when theres other ad space already there. The template they used for the entire app looks as if it was made by a toddler on a leapfrog system. Good station awful app.

Sensationalism. Why, when people are already scared to death with concerns over the COVID- 19, would you run a story like the “bubonic plague diagnosed in China” if it wasn’t just to boost your ratings. National Enquirer was known for that....The media today is nothing more than for entertainment good and bad. The days of unbiased news reporting are gone. The media as a whole should be ashamed of themselves for fanning the flames of unrest and worry.

#1 news station. Kelsey Anderson you always make me smile , Channel 4 is blessed to have a positive and being from Erie county you know a lot more then the others from other states. I’m not saying nothing bad about them . But to me your my favorite...Thank you

Love News 4. Love News 4 Buffalo, but I am not happy that we can not get it on our Direct TV. Please resolve this problem! Thank you, I miss this station!

COVID-19. Love you guys, have a question for you. The Gov is searching for the reason for the rice on COVID-19 rates in Erie County try this. How about all the long lines in Amherst during the early voting period. People in lines waiting 2 or 3 hours tend to get closer together passing the time and the period of time fits his exposer times. Maybe he should ask the state board of Elections why they didn’t carry thru on his early suggestion of mailing ballots to all registered voters. He mentioned it 3 or 4 days in a row. Instead he got a system designed to fail with a one voting place per town and long lines in the largest towns. Example during early vote Amherst, and all others had one place to Vote but on Election Day voters had 29 locations and no lines. In fact Al Vaughters interviewed me and we talked about it. Did this also start the current COVID-19 INCREASE? Your guess is as good as mine and the time line fits. Jerry Stevens

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 again.

Random ads app, no longer a news app. New September 2017 update to your WIVB News4 app is horrible. The live stream of news is constantly interrupted by ads. For every 30 seconds of news I'm getting another ad so I never here the full news story, rendering the app useless. Ads are OK in the commercial breaks and only for the duration of the commercial breaks. This needs to be fixed yesterday! Oct2020 update. Another stellar effort by the app developer. I can see the news but cannot hear it. It continually auto-mutes. The commercial inserts however come through loud and clear.

App needs work. While I enjoy the ease of reading the news online, the channel 4 app needs improvement. It loads slowly, and you have to click through an ad to get to the news. Once opened it is filled with ads disguised as “news”. In these days of fake news, that just seems unethical.

Channel 4. It would be nice to show the news videos. Frustrating. At least after the news cast has been aired. Thank you. Tom M. Sr.

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!

Painful again for the 3rd time.. Once again, This is worse than the previous version. It frequently freezes up and then closes out. Can’t read more than a story or two at a time without it freezing and closing. Can’t swipe story to story. Poorly designed. Try again.

Terrible weather app. Useless weather satellite/radar app upgrade. It was good the way it was. For my job I need to see a moving satellite picture. I need to see the weather moving into our area from states away. To see the color severity of weather coming at my location. In radar or satellite I can chews a still picture of clouds or still picture of snow etc. does not help. Just terrible now!

Notifications are pointless. While I don’t have a problem with the actual television station I am quite unimpressed with this app. When I receive a notification for a story the reason I usually want to read the story is because I am unable to watch the news at whenever time so when I click on a notification that takes me to the headline with a single sentence covering it telling me to watch the news at “fill in the blank” it’s completely erroneous. I understand in some cases perhaps the story is being updated but this occurs even if I click the notification hours, or the next day. It will tell me at 0800 to watch the news for the full story the previous day at 1700, with no other update to the story. On one occasion I’ve actually emailed the station for information on a story and they no longer had information. It’s like clickbait without even that minuscule payout. It comes off as a lame ploy to just get more viewers as opposed to being an alternative news source for their station.

News 4. News 4 is the only channel that we watch. Your news is the best and being a sailor like Todd Santos, I really like his weather forecasts!! Thanks👍🏻⛵️No Destination! “Nowhere to go and all day to get there”

Home Page Could be organized better. The Home Page has a lot of Subject titles or banners where the actual headlines could be placed. I want to view the home page and scroll down seeing the top news, sports, and weather headlines.

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.

Review. I’m usually not the guy to give feedback on a particular app or website but the news channel 4 app truly keeps me up to date on current situations. I’m fond of this app because o never have any problems with it and always have up to dat information

Breaking News Alerts. Where is the story? NOTHING, but tune into the next News broadcast for our latest updates. Why send a Breaking News10NBC when nothing is there !!! Very upsetting and disappointing waist of my time !!!Please Change ... I cannot be in Rochester 24-7 . 😦

Terrible App. I've tried this on both iPad and iPhone - ads constantly intrude and make it impossible to use. Total crap!

The BEST news in Buffalo/Western New York. Keep on doing the best job..For the local people!

Radar. Radar on the weather is really terrible

Helpful. Like channel 4 because they put my area on which is Dunkirk, Fredonia, Silver Creek and Westfield areas

Ok but....... Same layout as channel 2 with what seems like exactly same stories/news as channel 2 site. It’s like ch 2 & 4 share the same site.

Best news app. I love these app cause I’m informed all the time with the latest events

Get posts. Swipe? Gotta watch to get the story. The other guys at least let me read more.

App does not work. Too many issues with this app...it freezes...doesn’t give you the selected news etc...I deleted the app in hopes that the problems would be resolved....it still is malfunctioning...poor app

Radar issues. Radar constantly says error. Page can’t load

The same ads … before and after every story.. It is so annoying! Uninstalled.

Review. I enjoy channel 4 you do a job Keep it up !! I like the weather alert thanks also love you noon news Marjorie K Cheektowaga NY 46Maggie

Comments. Don’t like the negative Racial Comments that’s Allowed On Your Feed ,It’s Really Sickening.

Feedback. Limited news feed. News stories aren’t current. Look at your competitors websites!

Stop the pop ups. Asking to send notifications all the time is annoying. I’m going to delete if it keeps up.

Far too bias in articles. Clearly very leftest views and the stations does not even attempt to report actual facts. They twist news stories.

Online. Too hard to follow and find topics. Not up to date.

Weather. We miss the live weather report from the latest news cast.

Too liberal. Very often uses bias overtones to portray news Does not offer information neutrality Tends to omit certain parts of story to affect narrative which isn’t lying but is manipulation by omission

My News Station Period!!!. I Love You Guys...

Horrible New UI. The old UI was simple and provided a quick way to view the news. The new interface requires you to scroll through multiple screens.

Great app. I check it everyday. I wish it would update a little quicker but I love it!

Too many updates and noisy. Not recommended

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?

Outdated news. The news on the home page is never updated timely. I may as well read the paper. Other local apps have up to date news a lot quicker. Come on your better than this

Harder to read than other news apps. I watch news from Buffalo and Rochester regularly, as well as Dallas. This app has the smallest print and is not as user friendly as the rest of the news apps

Needs updated, grammar reviewed and why ads?. The news is not current or updated on a timely basis. There are glaring grammar errors often, and why do we have to push an ad away to get to a “free” news app?

great. We Love Chanel 4 great news Weather 🥰❤️

Garbage. The old interface was not bad but had tons of pop up ads. The new interface is garbage. Time to delete. Don't upgrade to latest version. This one is crap. Total doo doo sandwich. Someone screwed up big time.

Full screen. Can't make full screen picture anymore and always have to hit the sound button when opening the live tv section

APp. Seems to drop off in content on overnights & weekends

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.

Review. You changed your format a while back. I don’t like it.

Ads. All I wanted to do is look at the special weather alert issued in my area and after 11 pop up ads in a row (the same ad) I’ve decided that it isn’t worth it. If they get their act together, this app could serve a good purpose.

How original. Layout is an exact replica of WGRZ. Hope it works as good, but not likely.

New 4 Fan. I Love Channel Four News Crew Been a Fan for over 30 yrs

Mike Syka. Please have Mike S unbutton his coat on his morning weather. It’s to tight and looks unprofessional. He does a great job, but suit coats are too tight. It detracts from his broadcasts . Neal Hodgson ecme12@aol. Com

It don’t work right !! Anymore. The app never works anymore and I have good Internet connection if it work like it used to five stars but it never works zero star

Do not like layout. Would like to see “more” local news

To much. I’m deleting this site right now because you push something every other minute, to much, to many times!!! In a row!!!!!!!!!!

DirecTv. I subscribe to DirecTv and woke this morning to a message on my tv saying that Nexstar removed WIVB from my channel lineup. I never thought that a local station would be blocked. Shame on Nexstar......

Not user friendly. Doesn't update.. Bring back the old version

Too many notifications. In the past 24hrs I have received over 40 notifications for pointless stories even AFTER opting out of these types of notices. Ridiculous.

Channel 4 news. 👌🏻👌🏻Only News Channel To watch👌🏻👌🏻

Frustrated. I just get tired of tapping on a story not to have the app take you right to the story. Sometimes I even have trouble finding it

Looking. Half the time I can’t find what I’m looking for since you changed it a while ago

Channel 4. I love the app I’m on it everyday, thanks for all the updates.

Criptic information. While the actual TV station is your expected outlet for the DNC, this app is worse than most. News alerts give only a teaser headline and when you tap on the alert, there is absolutely no information ... just a headline.

Notifications?. Why does this app send me notifications, when i swipe them i never get to the breaking story? With so many having smartphones, this app needs to do better! Sorry, not happy!

Biased. Like most main stream media, this also is a little biased and left leaning.

Need an update ASAP. This app has been constantly crashing for the past few weeks. I think an update is needed

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.
