The Buffalo News App

The Buffalo News App brings Western New York's largest newsroom to your phone. Get breaking news, in-depth reporting on the Bills and Sabres, local politics, entertainment, and the stories that shape your community — all in one app built for fast, intuitive reading.

Stay informed with multiple ways to consume news. Read articles in the clean News Feed layout, browse the digital E-edition for a traditional newspaper experience, or listen to stories with a single tap. Stunning photography, video updates, and exclusive commentary give you a fuller picture of what's happening in Buffalo, Albany, Washington D.C., and beyond. Binge-worthy podcasts from the newsroom add depth to topics you care about.

Take control of your news experience by selecting the local topics that matter most to you. Your Stories feature lets you personalize which beats — from Bills coverage to community events — appear prominently in your feed. Set alerts for breaking news, sports scores, weather, and other categories so you never miss what's important. Breaking news banners at the top of the app ensure you're always aware of developing stories as they unfold.

Convenience features make staying informed effortless. Swipe smoothly through stories with intuitive left-right and up-down navigation. Bookmark articles to read later at your own pace. Pause a video and resume it on another device without losing your place. Adjust text size in your profile settings to read comfortably. Hourly forecasts and 10-day weather outlooks keep you prepared for what's ahead, with frequent video updates from the newsroom.

Subscribe for unlimited digital access to all premium content, analysis, and breaking updates. One-time setup accepts Google Pay for seamless checkout. Free subscribers still get core features and can opt into curated email newsletters — Breaking News alerts as they happen, the Afternoon Update with top local stories, Sabres game analysis, Food & Drink recommendations, Garage Sales listings, and many more to choose from.
