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! ### 4/5 — Up to date news *2020-03-15* 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. ### 5/5 — Informative *2020-03-15* Has always given me clear and accurate information. When a mistake Is made (rare) it is corrected immediately. Great app and very user friendly. ### 5/5 — Reliable Local News Fast *2019-12-03* I am always up to date with local news thanks to the WKBW ABC 7 Eyewitness News team and the app. This is the one app you need for local news, weather and sports. ### 5/5 — Morning, Noon & Night *2019-08-26* Chanel 7 is our “go to”. News station. Always on for news. Local news is covered so well! And it has been our station from back in the days of: Irv, Rick & Tom! Most of daily programming is also on. However we do watch CNN for in depth political news. ### 5/5 — Always aware *2019-03-04* This app is great and keeps me informed of breaking news and weather developments. A must have for all in the viewing area! ### 5/5 — Not fake news *2018-07-16* I like this app because I know it’s not fake news. I check news on here and watch it on WKBW ch7. Go Buffalo! ### 5/5 — Up to date station *2018-06-19, version 6.17* Very good app.We are snowbirds and we keep up with WNY news and happenings.. ### 5/5 — Nice *2017-11-01* Great very up to date ### 5/5 — Glasses on *2017-10-29* As soon as I wake iPad next to my bed click channel 7 app glasses on and I just love the convience of it but wish it didn't have so many adds. ### 4/5 — I like it *2017-04-25, version 6.10* Easy to read. Good graphics. In depth weather report. Closing information. Ads are a pain. ### 3/5 — More ads than news. *2017-04-14, version 6.10* 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. ### 5/5 — News from Buffalo *2017-04-03, version 6.10* Having lived in Western New York my entire life until seven years ago, I want to know what's going on "back home"! This app is the most comprehensive and well done one of all the local sites I have tried. ### 5/5 — Solid app *2017-04-03, version 6.10* Clean, stable and easy to navigate, unlike most news apps that crash from excessive overhead to push ads and bs ad traps ### 5/5 — Love love it *2017-03-14, version 6.9* So convenient and all the news, weather and closures I need to know! ### 5/5 — Love It!!! *2017-02-02, version 6.9* This app is great!! Especially when I am not in the WNY area it brings the going ons and the important and local news stories and weather to me . Love to know what is happening in my home town of Buffalo/Amherst. Thanks for a wonderful and informative app. Keep up the superb work WKBW!! You will always be my hometown station!!! ❤️📺 ### 5/5 — works for me! *2017-02-01, version 6.9* everything i need to know about Buffalo ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fix the alert subscription *2023-05-12* 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!!!! ### 1/5 — Crashes after update *2019-05-17, version 6.21* App was updated and now no longer opens. ### 1/5 — Crashes every time I open it *2019-01-13* 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. ### 1/5 — If it's not broke... *2016-02-14, version 6.2* 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! ### 1/5 — GoodbyeCh7app *2016-02-10, version 6.2* My iphone4 has OS7. New app requires OS8. Tried to install. Good bye ch7 app ### 1/5 — Useless *2014-09-22, version 4.10.0* Current news stories are few & old news stories remain on app for days. ### 1/5 — Re-review *2014-02-07, version 4.9.4* 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. ### 1/5 — Older version was better *2014-01-29, version 4.9.4* With up grade closings are harder to get to. Stories don't load up as fast. ### 1/5 — No live streaming *2013-09-30, version 4.7.0* No live streaming of news cast and very few video uploads. ### 1/5 — No updates *2013-08-24, version 4.5.5* Doesn't update like channel 2 and 4. They are stuck on the same news for days, don't get the app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Trust *2022-02-04* 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. ### 5/5 — Excellent up to date news coverage *2021-10-06* 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! ### 5/5 — Awesome App Very Good news and Weather *2021-07-02* Awesome App I hope there is lots of Updates and Upgrades on News and Weather. ### 5/5 — wkbw *2021-02-13* 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. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2021-02-09* I love WKBW! We are on the Canadian side of the closed border- and I have lived my whole life loving WKBW- as did my parents before me! Love your news coverage, and great anchors and meteorologists! Watch WKBW on tv, and love the app for when I want instant Buffalo/Niagara,NY. news. ### 5/5 — Great News coverage at a good station *2021-01-22* The app runs fine on my iPhone. I can keep up with local news when I’m away from the area. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2020-11-09* 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. ### 5/5 — Easy to Use and I Trust Them *2020-10-11* 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. ### 5/5 — The best Buffalo news app *2020-09-22* 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. ### 5/5 — Apple TV Approved *2020-08-10* 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. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
