## Review summary

Users generally value the ISU Cyclones app for keeping fans informed with timely news, in-depth features, and easy access to live and on-demand content. However, repeated reliability problems—video playback failures, app crashes after updates, and login/premium access glitches—greatly hinder the experience. Intrusive ads and navigation issues, including outdated event times, further detract from usability. The core content and fan value are evident, but significant improvements in performance, video reliability, and UX are needed to satisfy the broader user base.

### Cons

- Video streaming and playback issues: frequent loading failures, buffering, or videos not playable.
- App stability problems: crashes or the app not launching after updates.
