## Review summary

Users praise WSET ABC 13 for broad local and general news with reliable breaking alerts, and for helping users catch up on missed central Virginia TV news. However, recurring problems dominate reviews: the app frequently crashes or freezes, and updates render it hard to open or navigate. Weather features are inconsistent and outdated. Content quality suffers due to too much national coverage and too little local focus, and some report video playback or live streams failing. Overall, reliability is the main concern despite strong alert features.
