User Reviews

The Buffalo News from WGRZ app is praised for strong local journalism and timely weather, plus readability and broad Buffalo-area coverage. Repeated drawbacks center on stability and navigation problems, ad-heavy playback, radar/UI issues after updates, and missing features like rewatching recent broadcasts. Overall content quality is high, but UX and performance hinder consistent, satisfying use.

Pros

Strong local journalism with trusted anchors and coverage.
Timely weather updates and alerts.
Easy-to-read headlines and news content.
Buffalo-area focused coverage that keeps viewers connected.
On-demand content and additional programming (replays, specials).

Cons

Stability issues: crashes, freezes, and the app won't stay open on devices.
Clunky navigation and design changes, with no search feature and reduced usability in landscape mode.
Intrusive, repetitive ads that disrupt viewing.
Weather radar visualization problems in updated formats (overlay blocks radar; ads interfere with radar page).
Missing features like the ability to re-watch the most recent broadcast.

They might not say what they are trying to say that so they don’t get yourself in trouble, but I understand what you’re saying

Stop with the “bug fixes” that just create a worse user experience. The 24 hour Future no longer works and hides the radar features as soon as you click on that option, which is the main thing I look at. As well as I still have to keep zooming into my pre-set location to actually see anything useful. Looks like I’m going back to the Weather Channel app.
