## Review summary

WVVA News offers easy navigation and strong local connection with trusted reporters, making it easy to stay informed and catch up on missed news. However, users frequently report outdated content, a poor or inconsistent app design after updates, and perceived political bias. The sports section is also seen as neglected, and some anchors receive mixed reviews for on-air quality.

### Pros

- Easy to navigate and user-friendly interface
- Keeps you up-to-date on events, including local news, helping you stay connected to your hometown
- Trusted, long-time reporters/anchors deliver credible coverage (e.g., Katherine Thompson, Melinda Zosh, Annie Moore)
- Good for catching up on the news when you miss it or want quick access to headlines

### Cons

- Content and updates are often outdated or behind schedule (top stories behind schedule)
- App design/UI issues in the newer version (not as good as before; headings unreadable for local stories)
- Perceived political bias in coverage (noted liberal lean)
