Trust
News team you can trust. Love the chemistry of Katie, Ed and Aaron in the morning. And Taylor is wonderful either on the street doing stories or behind the desk. Nothing better than the 6 o’clock news. I have the App on my tablet and phone. While not the news it would really help my eyes if the font on the scroll was a little bigger/darker.
Fix the alert subscription
There is a reason why I only subscribe to your weather alerts and nothing else, I am not interested in any of your fake stupid news and garbage propaganda. App may get deleted soon!!!!
Great Update
Love the new update and look. Always appreciate this app because it isn’t just a page of auto play videos like some apps can be. If you guys made some Home Screen widgets for weather/news/traffic/etc that would be outstanding!
Not Loving Newest Version
Last week I updated the most recent version of this app. Now, every time I open it, I am greeted with the message "We've updated the app to include new features!" and prompted to download it, which I have already done. It doesn't allow me to see the Top Stories section in the index. Fix, please!
More ads than news.
If you fight your way through the countless ads there are news article and videos there. Long video ads, and if the video has any problem then, watch the lengthy ad again. It's one thing to have an ad here and there; but this is excessive. Over all the app works well, and has some interesting articles, shame about the ads.
Excellent up to date news coverage
I think the channel 7 news app is the best. Very easy to read the complete story. Covers a lot of stories on there page. Much better than the other 2 local channels. I will admit I do not offend watch channel 7 on tv but I really enjoy there coverage of the news in the app. Keep up the good work!
Crashes after update
App was updated and now no longer opens.
Up to date news
Compared to another news app I have channel 7 far exceeds them. I’m looking for up to date news. I don’t want to open the app and see news that is days old. Also when I get a notification I want to be able to see and read about it. Again my other app often states unable to stream at this time. Keep up the good work it’s evident you have hired someone who knows what they are doing.
To many adds
Why are all these local news apps riddled with adds. It's garbage and useless now.
Awesome App Very Good news and Weather
Awesome App I hope there is lots of Updates and Upgrades on News and Weather.
Crashes every time I open it
Updated this app on my iPhone 7 and it crashes as soon as I open it. Only way to view news is to go into App Store and attempt to contact the app developer. There’s no way to contact them but the app seems to work with that workaround.
I like it
Easy to read. Good graphics. In depth weather report. Closing information. Ads are a pain.
wkbw
I like watching channel 7 , because out of the 3 stations in Buffalo, they are the most factual and least bias. Their reports are to point and fair. Their weather team is the best.
If it's not broke...
This new app is not at all user friendly. It is visually unappealing and while I understand ads are necessary, the placement is poor. Please bring back the old app!
Thank you, WKBW! ...
Wimpy... Kiddy.. Baby-Whiners!!! That's what that stands for!!!!
Great News coverage at a good station
The app runs fine on my iPhone. I can keep up with local news when I’m away from the area.
GoodbyeCh7app
My iphone4 has OS7. New app requires OS8. Tried to install. Good bye ch7 app
Excellent
App immediately gives stories , no messing around with sections unless you want something specific. Best Buffalo news app in my opinion
Awesome app
I give it a 10 out of 10 even though you can rate it 5 stars because by downloading the 7 WKBW news app you are able to go on and check up on the last news on your phone/ iPad that you can watch anywhere when you are not at home and are connected to WI-FI. I personally love this news app because it helps keep me updated on what’s going on.
Useless
Current news stories are few & old news stories remain on app for days.
Decent app
Stable and does the job. Covers WNY region pretty well.
Easy to Use and I Trust Them
The app is easy to use, which is good since I trust my local news a great deal to provide me... news. Once the WKBW app is the easiest to use and read, my first stop every morning is the WKBW app.
Re-review
I downloaded this for up- to- date local news ... Deleting it because the news is not updated in a timely manner. It is Monday, I am still reading news from Saturday & Sunday. App was recently updated. Not much help, the news at 3 pm is the same as the news from 8 am. This is not " news" if it is 7 hours old. " updating" does nothing.
The best Buffalo news app
Hands-down, this is the best news app for the Buffalo area. Not only is it comprehensive in coverage, but the scroll experience is clean and consistent, whereas the other major network apps are jumpy and clumsy because they load advertisements as you scroll.
Older version was better
With up grade closings are harder to get to. Stories don't load up as fast.
Apple TV Approved
I live in Los Angeles but my family lives in Buffalo so I like to keep up with the news in their area. I use to watch WIVB on my FireStick via the internet but now that I have Apple TV this app makes it so much easier to watch the news live on a daily basis. Love it.
No live streaming
No live streaming of news cast and very few video uploads.
Informative
Has always given me clear and accurate information. When a mistake Is made (rare) it is corrected immediately. Great app and very user friendly.
No updates
Doesn't update like channel 2 and 4. They are stuck on the same news for days, don't get the app.
