The Buffalo News for Android
Death notices link takes you to outdated list of notices, and they are not alphabetized. IOS app works fine. Only Android app is faulty.
App is freezing on startup and will NOT update.
This app is not updated regularly or completely compared to the website.
It is as bad as it is rated.
App works well, could use an update though.
Latest news stories are severely delayed. iOS and web based sites much better.
Don't know who is working on this but cannot log in using my android tablet , therefore cannot read the news
While I was a student I needed local newspapers to gather information, when I no longer needed it I closed my accounts. I didn't pay for the next month of service on the app. Now I keep getting bills for the next month's service! Why isn't this app like all the rest, you don't pay for that month, you don't get access... Plain and simple... Now I'm being harassed by Bill collectors for money when I didn't even have access to it!
This is what I use to read the newspaper on my tablet_latest new today (10/29) is from October 19. Just about ready to quit my subscription.
Some sections haven't seen an update in over 5 days. I like to read current news.
If you are a slow reader who likes days old news because the app never updates stories, I've found the app for you!
Same articles for 5 days now. Whats wrong?
How insane is it that you get a push notification and click on it and you are not taken to the story. Also, 50% of the stories you click on you have to read via the Internet. Just a waste.
Even logging in I get some pop up ( addaway blocks ty ) that I must shut off. No search function makes it really useless, would like a filter to show what I WANT to read about. Much room for improvement

It's ok. Stories are up pretty quickly - often the night before the print edition. Would like to be able to view the 'flip' version that I can access on a computer.
Disappointed that I can only access local news stories.
The app gets stuck at Refreshing and doesn't open. Deleting.
Says user or password is is not valid yet works fine on my ipad
Why give the assumption that this is free when its not!!DELETED
I open the app, it freezes. If I get to a story, it freezes. I often have to sign in repeatedly. I'm deleting this app. I enjoy The Buffalo News, but this app is awful.
Used to be fine, hasn't functioned properly in weeks. I'm sure the lazy union people are still getting paid tho... even thought I no longer can read your advertisements and support your marketing partners... how you stay in business?

Ok for reading promoted stories. But it really needs a search function.
Stuck on "refresh" for so long the app become stale an a major joke!
Crashes regularly, terrible user experience!
Unable to login.
Gotta pay for everything..used to be able to read a couple stories a month and participate in comments on stories..dropped online subscription because of changes they made to that also. AND was billed for three months after??! And they sent it to collections even though I had clearly and by their rules cancelled.
Everyone complains that you have to pay for it. You have always had to pay for a subscription to get the online content for TBN. I have a subscription for Sunday delivery at home and just signed into the app to read articles. Website is the same way - 10 articles, the you have to pay. Just a bunch of whiners. App has been solid for me so far.
App does not open to news page and claims it's refreshing when opening app if app was not stopped after last use . You must then close the app and start it fresh. New HTC one m8 android. I'll download again when my emails have been responded too and the problem is fixed.
Updated version no good , old version good . Won't load just get screen saying refreshing
Login issues. Online works great from pc but will not work via phone app.
**EDIT: would you consider dropping "The" from the name of the app for more appropriate alphabetical listing?** Easy to read format and easy to browse. No search function unless I'm missing it. Could really benefit from it.
Subscriber, signed into mobile app but tons of articles are not in app and through website.....horrible setup. If I'm logged into app let me read the article in the app...not tap an article to find out it has to be loaded in a web browser. Kind of shady way to get ad clicks.
App is useless. Won't log me in with my proper credentials even though I can log in just fine on my PC. Fix this!
No matter what user ID I use, (mine or my mom's) I can't log in which is annoying. I get breaking alerts but then can't view it. I tried to contact the News on it and was told there was a problem with my phone or my password, not the app. However I CAN log in through my phone's web browser just not the app.
Your company has become greedy losers who took away everything. I think if we deal with advertising on an app, or website that should pay for itself. Stop being cheap and trying to make a quick penny.
This is a really pathetic attempt at an Android app. Also, I started paying for online access since the news started strong-arming their customers. So why can't I view the e-Edition in this app. What a crock.
Annoying adverts cause the app to force close. Advert pops up....full page when you scroll from page to page without input from user. The one star I have it was by default. it really deserves no stars.

App. is a cookie cutter copy of a lot of newspaper apps. Articles don't auto update when you remain logged in and navigate back to it. (You have to hit the refresh icon in the upper right of page). Weather doesn't as well, even after you refresh it. Picture gallery? Just a collection of single pics related to certain events. Not a gallery at all if your definition of a gallery is more than one picture. Needs work.
