## Review summary

Users praise WVMetroNews when it works for delivering WV news and sports, but a clear, recurring problem across reviews is that the app stops loading, often showing a blank/white/black screen. The issues seem tied to iOS updates and device compatibility, affecting new iPhone/iPad models and persisting after reinstalls. The sentiment is largely frustrated, with some noting long use without issues before the outage. Fixes and compatibility updates appear overdue.

### Pros

- Broad WV news and sports coverage (including high school and college).
- Long period of reliability before issues began.
- Delivered WV news content in a straightforward mobile app when functioning.

### Cons

- App frequently shows a blank/white screen and won’t load.
- Compatibility problems after iOS updates; won’t open on newer iPhones/iPads.
- Issue persists across reinstalls and device changes.
- App sometimes won’t download or open on new devices from the App Store.
