### 1/5 — Doesn’t load any articles?

*2024-12-13*

Doesn’t seem to work

### 1/5 — Press conferences

*2023-09-06*

Where are they!!! Should be on this site

### 3/5 — Need Downloadable Pics

*2023-08-24*

Why don’t you have downloadable pictures to use for Phone Wallpapers, especially for Football Team and Coach that takes advantage of the new excitement around the team? Also, there should be a function to save the player pics and team pics to make copies or for wallpaper’s etc.  Plus, you should break each team off into a separate App that can be even more detailed into the sport of choice by anyone interested in following it. Football definitely should have its own. Need to catch up with the times and take advantage of these huge opportunities for growth of the program.

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2022-05-23, version 7.6.3*

Used to have all the info:
Scores 
Roster 
Schedule

Wast of time with dribble of someone’s favorite cereal or enjoyment

### 4/5 — Skiing and Nordic news???

*2022-01-23, version 7.6.1*

When where how can I get updates and articles regarding CUs ski team?

### 1/5 — Schedules

*2021-10-30, version 7.6.0*

Ever think about putting team schedules on this otherwise useless app?

### 1/5 — Buffzone Review

*2021-10-09, version 7.6.0*

This app is mediocre at best, but only if you’re just wanting information; however, it’s completely useless if you’re looking for schedules or stats of the games. The older version of the app was 100% more useful. (I’m referring to football because that’s what I’m using the app for)

### 1/5 — Schedules please

*2021-08-18, version 7.6.0*

Not much use without schedules of games.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2021-06-20, version 7.6.0*

Has good news content, but how about some schedules?

### 5/5 — My Favorite Buffs App

*2020-11-14, version 7.4.5*

Great app for news and updates on the buffs. I recently reported a minor issue with the in-app support and they responded within hours and had already corrected the issue.
