## Review summary

Overall, users praise the app for timely WVU news and broad sports coverage, especially for out-of-state fans. However, recurring issues include unreliable in-app video playback and mobile layout/ads, and some content remaining on the website rather than in-app. People want videos to work directly in the app and for the app to offer a more seamless mobile experience.

### Pros

- Keeps you up to date with WVU sports and news.
- Broad, well-rounded coverage across many WVU sports (football, basketball, rifle, swimming, etc.).
- Very convenient for fans outside WVU/state to follow the Mountaineers.
- Generally highly regarded as the best app for Mountaineers and a great source of updates.

### Cons

- In-app video playback is unreliable or frequently fails to play.
- Mobile layout and ads are not well-optimized for mobile, reducing usability.
- Some content and videos are only available on the website, not fully accessible in the app.
