  1. 5/5WGRZ2

    I enjoy WGRZ2 very much. To me the app is very east and straight forward. I only have 2 opions pertaining to the TV coverage. I love all personalities that cover the news and weather and sports. Only 2 of the professionals are not pleasing to me. The morning news I have stopped watching because of Melissa Holmes. She is a diva and not the broadcasted she should act like. The other is Maria Genaro. She’s not a meteorologist so why does she act as she does. Elise is so very professional and she is a meteorologist. Why is Maria set up to be top notch. To me it’s a puzzle. So only speaking for myself I have turned to another channel during the 4 o’clock programming. Kate was so enjoyable before Maria joined in. Now it’s quite dumb. Just my option for all its worth. Thank you for letting me vent.

  2. 5/5West Coast Review

    Fantastic app. I have it downloaded on all my devices as well as Apple TV. Out of all the Buffalo News Apps this one is my favor. First of all I love the Good Morning etc greetings depending on the time of day. Secondly I love that you can watch replays of the news 7 days a week. Also enjoy the extra programming and Mass on Sunday at OLOV. I’m a Californian but have a ton of family in Buffalo so this WGRZ app really is stellar in keeping me current as well as simple to use. Thank you so much to all the developers who have made this possible. Means so much.

  3. 5/5Good news even when it’s not!

    I don’t live in Buffalo and haven’t for some time but I have many friends who are there and I visit several times a year. I really like keeping in the Buffalo know (not snow😉) and WGRZ is perfect at keeping me informed. The news people and sports reporters are terrific. They are on top of all the national stories but more of an interest to me is the local coverage which they shine at . I would recommend WGRZ to everyone especially people far away who still want to keep in Buffalo touch.

  4. 5/5Still Good Reading

    Totally enjoyable reading even while we are here in Leland North Carolina for the winter. You capture the essence of Western NY by your coverage. While many newspaper readership is being compromised by usage of the internet, the News presents decent & reliable information. If you question the last sentence, spend some time reading daily newspapers in other comparable cities for awhile. By the way, our true home is Jamestown NY. A dear friend reminds me frequently that “you can take Ann out of Jamestown but you can’t take the Jamestown out of Ann.” She’s right.

  5. 5/5Updating Takes Forever!

    While I enjoy using this app for news and weather, I have little patience when it is not in use. There have been countless occasions when it is updating. When this happens I get a blank screen with a blue swirly symbol. The process can sometimes take hours! This is unacceptable and I hope the technical team can improve this.
