The Buffalo News App 12+

No feedback link and newest version really bad

I would love to do this via feedback but Buffalo News app has no way to provide feedback prior to cancelling subscription. So here it goes new app is highlighting stories that happened over 60 days ago and it is hard to see the “latest news”. App always way very confusing but it is is worse now. Always relied on edition to see all the current news but it no longer works at all. Comeondo you all test at all? This has to be the single worse upgrade of my life.

Lack of bug fixes make this a terrible app.

Very unstable app. Crashes if there are a lot of photos or if I scroll down browsing through the articles. Very frustrating and should be updated often. **update** it’s actually gotten worse since the previous day, now I can’t look at any photos or open sports story’s. If this is a ploy to push paper sales you may be on to something because this is trash. **another update** this app is awful. Basically if I don’t read the E-edition, I can’t read anything at all. Now I get the headlines and when I click on it, it’s just a black screen with ads. I’m hoping it’s because no one is working due to corona! ***third update*** took some time off, come back a few months later and it’s even worse. Before the app would crash but now I can’t find any sections. And I want to read the news but man this app is awful.
****lets go do a forth update**** they changed the platform of the app to make it like a feed. Ok, maybe some progress. The update signed me out, I forgot my password ana what do you know, there’s no option to reset the password smh. Idk why I bother after all these years.

Developer Response ,

I apologize for the frustration, please contact digital support at 800-777-8640, for help with digital access and assistance with resetting the password.

Good for immediate news. I like the ability to play every article as audio should you choose. The price is listening to a single commercial but otherwise you receive the entire article. The computer voice sounds real but mispronounces some words…seems it should be schooled for common things like reading the call letters of local TV stations as letters and not turning them into words…wivb is not a word nor pronounced wiv b. Can you say
W I V B instead? And some stories sit on the front pages for multiple days. And betting ads look just like sports stories and some articles repeat side by side…why twice on the same line?

But you do get the full articles of what the app presents (not a summary) and that’s why I use the app daily.
