Jamie Nails Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I was and am still a Luddite when it comes to breaking news apps for the Bills. I've got the official team app, but its obviously not the best place for breaking news, rumor or speculation- only team inactives and official drivel. The WGR app and text used to serve this purpose, but now that's a thing of the past. What does everyone use nowadays to get their Bills breaking news alerts? Need to fill a gaping void, especially as we head into what should be an exciting off season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Honestly, anything breaking gets posted here by someone within minutes if not seconds. Save the bookmark mark to your home screen on your phone. Granted, it isn’t a text alert, but how quickly do you need the news that checking in once/twice per day doesn’t scratch the itch? 9 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PirateHookerMD Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I was never a twitter guy, and don't post anything, but following the right set of people gives you a pretty broad source of breaking NFL and Bills news if you want to be on the bleeding edge. Otherwise most big stuff gets posted here rather rapidly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 If you get a Pixel, you can set up android Pie to alert you about any sports team. it's pretty much instant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Nails Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 1 hour ago, NewEra said: 26cornerblitz is the best app I know Totally agree with this. 26 is the best! I just like to get the instant alert on my phone. Then I usually jump over to the board to read and weigh in. Sometimes I forget to check. As stupid as it is, I didn't see the news on the CFL receiver because I didn't check in on the boards until late yesterday. Just wanted to see if anyone had found a void filler for the WGR text/app alerts. I want someone else to crawl twitter and tell me when there's something newsworthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are a few few things you can do: -Download the Radio.com app and enable notifications -Download the NFL app, choose Bills as your team and enable notifications. The other thing you can do is sign up on Twitter. Find a Bills reporter that you like. And click on the bell icon. This will notify you everytime they send a tweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should give him a demerit. Or possibly a good stern talking to. All joking aside it is nice getting notifications during the busy times of day. Many of us work a job that frowns upon getting on a web page when we are supposed ti be working. I usually check the Stadium wall on newest posts. If it aint here it didnt happen. If it is here there is a chance it did. Edited January 7, 2019 by fansince88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick the Greek Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I think CBS sports app is good. Accept alerts from them related to the Bills and they should send you up to date news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anytime I hear any Bills news item anywhere, I know @YoloinOhio is on top of it and I head straight here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bills Blog Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Bleacher Report is actually excellent for this. TBD is good except when breaking news gets merged with previous threads and then you have to search through page by page to find the original breaking news. Come on. It's the one obvious problem with this site. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
