Terrible app support

I have an issue every day with articles not loading. It seems to be 2 or 3 or 4 random stories, they flash on the screen, then it goes to a loading spinner in the middle of the screen. I initially contacted them on 5-26, and have sent 25 emails about the problem. And most of those are replies to their repeated asks about the problem, including probably 10 that ask “what is the specific error message?” I have lost all patience with them, I am sick of asking why they don’t READ THE THREAD. And the replies that say what device, I’ll send you instructions to clear your cache, or reset your router, or make sure you sign in. Cause apparently only random stories will be affected by those issues.

App is Terrible

Don’t know why but when I am thumbing through the e-edition, you cannot go back a page. App sends you back to front page.

UB

Where’s the UB Bulls men’s BB score?

Worst app ever.

This app has always been a problem and still is. It’s reason enough for me to cancel my subscription.

App works well; great to get local news

I grew up with the Buffalo News and now that I live out of town I still enjoy getting the news online. The app is well organized and easy to use.
