Never could load videos or see all pictures then just stopped working altogether. Installed channel 7 and like it much better.

Jacky Roberts

I like app when it works but it often fails so i cant give high rating.

Logan L

Can't stream the news now.

Myra Reynolds

love news 4!!!

Michael Shanahan

Live video is broken on multiple devices and from multiple networks, will rate higher when fixed. The commercials seem to stream just fine somehow.

Raymond Cooper

I think its a good idea but until you fix the video part I'm deleting it and during channel 2 or 7 it took me 10 minutes to watch a 3.23 weather report it had to keep stopping to load every 15 to 20 seconds pointless. Please fix this and ill redownloda.

Why send notifications that take you to the Watch Live page? The link should go direct to the story.

Love it

Charlie Patterson January 6, 2017

Waste of time...racially bias towards blacks Adds and nothing new. Same stories for three, four days. Useless app. No news of Chicago kidnapping. Not reporting black hate crimes.

Jason Desrosiers November 12, 2016

Media doesn't report truth anymore This app is just like the channels i don't watch. Complete bs news made up and paid for by Democrat's. Uninstalling

antonio matos November 13, 2016

Won't start When I try to open the app it tells me the network is not working 🤔

Rick d September 13, 2016

Not usable New update is terrible, cannot read, just a mess. Downloaded channel 7 app so that I could read the news. Let me know when you fix...

Richard K October 14, 2016

I can't understand why all the negative reviews. This app is wonderful. Performs well and never crashes. The weather map is neat. I can center it right over my town and it always stays there locked in. You get your local location weather not Buffalo's. I've had this app on my phone since mid-summer and when I got my new tablet the end of August I installed it on there too. The app never cuts out (buffering) when watching the news. Watching Channel 4 on one of my laptops can be a challenge sometimes but never with the app. And it loads faster than watching it on the computer. Follow the Bills, Sabres, and lots of lake-effect snow on your WIVB news/weather app.

discoverinc2012 Al October 6, 2016

Very bad slow freeze all the time It can't be a corporate App I think is a individual who did this

Justin Fox October 23, 2016

Lacking everything I know there is alot more news its rediculous you add maybe 1 article a day if that

michael Fay July 11, 2016

Why Your adds are interfering with my music apps deleted until fixed

Arkam Asylum June 23, 2016

Garbage app. Original version BEFORE Christmas of 2013 was the best and ONLY working version of this app. Shame they had ro ruin it. UPDATE: 6/23/16 THREE YEARS LATER and they still dont have it right. Too many ads, recieve push notifications of articles, upon opening them, the article never loads, and or it says this article is not available. USED to be fav news app. Guess it will never go back to being a "decent" app ever again.

Lisa Maloney June 19, 2016

Too many ads This app used to be great until the advertisements started popping up every 2 seconds. Very annoying .

Tom Ni May 25, 2016

Too many ads Full page ad's that I have to back out of will cause me to use other apps for my local news. Full page ad's are annoying!

Nexstar Digital (formerly LIN Media) May 25, 2016

Tom, the ad experience has changed and hopefully they are less intrusive.

iAG Mouse May 25, 2016

Thanks for the fix My notifications work now. Thanks for fixing it. I love channel 4. So much better than other news networks.

Nexstar Digital (formerly LIN Media) May 25, 2016

Sorry for the trouble. We've revised how notifications are sent and hopefully it's working better for you.

Stacey Zinck April 13, 2016

Like this app Works great

Denise Cousins March 15, 2016

Love the app, not the ads! Love Channel 4 and their crew, the ads are terrible now!

Nexstar Digital (formerly LIN Media) May 25, 2016

Denise, thanks for writing. We've revised the ad experience and hopefully it works better for you.

Bill Siebert July 5, 2016

Annoying! I want to read top stories and sports. Not a William Mattar ad every few seconds! Fire your IT guy and start over Channel 4!

412Flame February 4, 2016

Good but still no landscape view for tablets Finally fixed this app but requires landscape view but overall it's an improvement.

Cecilia Rodriguez March 1, 2016

I love all the staff n this channel Specially the weather

Rosa collado February 24, 2016

Like it 4 4

Alex Michie December 17, 2015

Could be a lot better It's good to check up on the local news and sports however the stories that get notifications do not bring you to the story that they are suppose to rather brings you to the home page and the story is not visible on the app anywhere. Fix that and it will get 4 stars.

Savannah Locke January 12, 2016

Yes Had 2 uninstall it tho cuz i moved 2 pa so needed new app. Great app 4 NY nd Buffalo.

Paul Prisaznuk January 10, 2016

No news, just commercials Need we say more ...

Douglas Otto May 23, 2016

Channel 4 news Its handy

Kevin Dean November 6, 2015

Good but the ads are intrusive I understand free apps need ad revenue to stay free, but the ads pop up over the whole article and often just keep appearing after you close the ad out. A less intrusive solution, such as small banner ads in the articles would be better. I'm sure the advertisers don't like to be associated with being annoying of they want to sell things

James Vennard November 10, 2015

No Good. This wivb news 4 app won't let me open my notifications brings me to the home page

Mike Reesr June 21, 2016

This WAS my favorite local news app. The nonstop bombardment of adds makes it next to impossible to view the news! Had enough of the crap, just uninstalled the app!!

Bob Wilcox October 15, 2015

Your app is broke ! 10/15/15 For 2 days now, your app displays the advertisements and you can't get to the news.

Raelyn LeRoy October 15, 2015

App sucks, can't read any news articles because every 2 seconds a new William Mattar add pops up.

Amy Smith October 15, 2015

What's with the ad's? You can't even read the news because ads keep popping up.

October 15, 2015

Can't get past the ads I can't read news due to ads constantly popping up!

Jeff Amidon September 7, 2015
