The Best!
Don Paul rocks!!
Terrible channel and app
Spineless corporate garbage
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.
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.
Notifications
The app functions well. I do miss the ability to watch live from my phone in real time in the mornings. More customization of notifications would be appreciated. I’d like to receive Breaking news & Local news notifications without Sports. My Sports notifications are disabled, but some must be sent anyway when other notification groups are enabled.

Love this channel
Too Many Ads
Had to uninstall, waaaayyyy too many ads. Pop-up ad when I open the app, timed ad before any video I watch, ads on top and bottom on every page.
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.
News 4
I love this this is the best app to look at the weather
Best news app
I love these app cause I’m informed all the time with the latest events
Sound
I love the app but I hate that is automatically silences anything playing on my phone when it’s opened. If I am not trying to watch something why does it take over my audio.
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?
Old news
Almost all the news on this is over 24 hours old You are better off looking elsewhere
Intelligent analysis.
Always balanced news reporting.Great for news
Update broke it
Since updating, the app flickers when opened then I get a black screen.
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.
Looking
Half the time I can’t find what I’m looking for since you changed it a while ago
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
Constantly crashing
App will not work more then 5 times without crashing once open. Horrible update. Are we going to get a working app anytime soon? Have uninstalled and re-installed twice. Still does it after 4-5 times opening it. Please fix!
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
New 4 Fan
I Love Channel Four News Crew Been a Fan for over 30 yrs
Live
This app is horrible for watching the news live all I get is “we will be right back” I rather watch a commercial than dead air . then I would know it’s not buffering or loading.
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.
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”
What happened
I’ve been a channel 4 news fan since the eighties . I’ve decided to cut you off. You don’t report news anymore. What about the tornado in Tennessee? You glorify the Bills and make them a #1 news story . I don’t find that great news . Borrrrrrrrrrrrinnnnggggg!!’ I’ll stick to the internet for my news. No world news at all not even in the states?
Review
You changed your format a while back. I don’t like it.
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
The same ads … before and after every story.
It is so annoying! Uninstalled.
Feedback
Limited news feed. News stories aren’t current. Look at your competitors websites!
Ads - wayyy too much
Too many ads before I can watch news clips.
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.
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!!
#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
Weather
We miss the live weather report from the latest news cast.
