WIVB News 4 - Buffalo for Negative User Reviews
✓ The potential is thereThe 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..Version: 40.29.630037642
✓ Unreliable streamingI 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..Version: 40.33.400045070
✓ Random ads app, no longer a news appNew 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..Version: 40.34.380050644
✓ App needs workWhile 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..Version: 40.33.400045070
✓ 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..Version: 14.24.00031735
✓ Terrible weather appUseless 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!.Version: 14.24.00031735
✓ 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..Version: 40.30.410039704
✓ Newest update will not recognize WifiNewest 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..Version: 40.34.190048970
✓ 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..Version: 40.33.400045070
✓ Not up to dateThe 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..Version: 40.34.380050644
✓ App is disappointingI 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!!.Version: 40.33.550047262
✓ Old newsAlmost all the news on this is over 24 hours old You are better off looking elsewhere.Version: 40.34.380050644
✓ 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!.Version: 40.33.530045980
✓ 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..Version: 40.34.380050644
✓ Don’t likeI 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..Version: 40.34.380050644
✓ SensationalismWhy, 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..Version: 40.34.380050644
✓ News 4 Mobile AppI 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..Version: 40.33.550047262
✓ LiesChannel 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..Version: 40.29.630037642
✓ 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..Version: 41.5.0
✓ UpdatesThere’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!.Version: 40.29.630037642
✓ Home Page Could be organized betterThe 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..Version: 40.30.410039704
✓ Not WorkingSince last update says it cannot detect network..Version: 4.1.8
✓ 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..Version: 41.16.0
✓ Notifications are pointlessWhile 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..Version: 40.30.410039704
