Deleted and reinstalled multiple times but it never works. Am I the only one that has this trouble? ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2021-01-22, version 1.1* Opening the app displays a black screen ### 1/5 — App went black *2021-01-02, version 1.1* I installed the app and it immediately went to black!! It hasn’t worked from the beginning. ### 1/5 — App never opens and freezes on black screen. *2020-12-13, version 1.1* A simple app to deliver news and it never works. ### 1/5 — Not working *2020-09-03, version 1.1* Not working in a few different phones ### 1/5 — Stopped Working After iOS Update *2020-08-19, version 1.1* I used this app consistently for some time, but it quit working some time ago after an iOS update. I withheld a review hoping it would get repaired. Unfortunately there must not be anyone available at MetroNews that has time to fix it. Working from home may not be working for MetroNews. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2020-06-30, version 1.1* App does not work with the most recent Apple upgrades. ### 1/5 — Bad app *2020-05-13, version 1.1* I also have been using this app for a long time but now it won’t load on my phone after the 13.4 apple or the app has a problem. ### 1/5 — What app? *2020-04-08, version 1.1* There's nothing there. I've deleted and re-downloaded. Still Nothing there. What a joke. ### 1/5 — App not working *2020-04-01, version 1.1* This app no longer opens. ### 1/5 — Love this app but won’t work now *2020-03-25, version 1.1* Like other users I updated my iPad and now the app will not open.

I too hope they get it fixed because I love this WV news source. ### 1/5 — It just quit! *2020-01-24, version 1.1* It was a great app then one day it just stopped working. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work with iPhone *2020-01-08, version 1.1* Have tried over and over to reload this app in hopes that it will work. No success. Apparently, the WV Metro News leadership don’t care to update the app so it’s compatible with iOS. ### 1/5 — Broken *2019-12-07, version 1.1* App displays a blank screen- has not worked for months. ### 1/5 — Can’t see anything!!! *2019-11-16, version 1.1* I can’t see anything in the app after opening it on my IPhone. I have reloaded it too! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why *2023-01-19, version 1.2* I understand you want my email so you can pollute my inbox - but why do you need my credit card for a free app? No Thanks ### 1/5 — 98% sports - 2% actual news *2022-12-27, version 1.2* This is mostly a sports app. - even the news shows are mostly sports talk - uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Nothing on my screen *2022-10-11, version 1.1* A few weeks ago, every time my phone screen darkened or I opened another app, I lost audi. I removed the app and reinstalled it but now there is only a blank white screen.I’ve reported it twice but haven’t received a reply. ### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Work *2022-05-10, version 1.1* Please update or delete this app. It doesn’t work. You only get a white blank screen. ### 1/5 — WV Metro News *2022-02-26, version 1.1* This app won’t download or open on my new iPhone or my 2 year old IPad. To read from the site you gave to go through the App Store every time. ### 1/5 — Junk *2021-12-28, version 1.1* The app is a blank white page ### 1/5 — Can’t even get it to open *2021-09-25, version 1.1* Title ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-05-11, version 1.1* You’d think by now someone would have fixed it. Pathetic. ### 1/5 — No longer works *2021-04-21, version 1.1* Just noticed the app no longer works. Tried uninstalling but still doesn’t work. You would think someone would care enough to fix it. ### 1/5 — Metro *2021-04-13, version 1.1* Doesn’t work ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — No longer works *2019-11-06, version 1.1* Hasn’t worked since the new iOS update. Hopefully someone will fix it please! ### 5/5 — Not working *2019-10-11, version 1.1* Does not work with the last iPhone update. What’s the deal ? ### 5/5 — Enjoyable but very basic *2018-12-21, version 1.1* It appears this is just a browser based app of the WV Metro-news URL that allows you to listen to the shows while the app is in the background. It is very simple and does the job it needs to do. If you enjoy the personalities at WV Metro-news, you will enjoy this app. ### 3/5 — App stopped working *2019-12-05, version 1.1* As other reviewer stated, I used the app daily without issues for over a year. I updated my iPad last night and now it won’t open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled without success. ### 3/5 — Great.... at first *2019-11-13, version 1.1* I used this app for over a year with absolutely no issues. It was great to keep up with the new and sports, both high school and college, from around the state. After the last update, the app just quit working. It would start open, then, just stall out and do nothing more. I’m currently uninstalling and going to try to reinstall to see if it fixes the problem. I hope it does, because when the app works, I use it multiple times a day. ### 2/5 — App will not open - just blank screen *2019-11-29, version 1.1* I have enjoyed getting updates on WV sports on WV Metro News, but recently the app comes up to a blank screen? I have deleted the app and retried to no avail. I would like to continue to access this app, but it needs an update. ### 2/5 — Freezes *2019-11-28, version 1.1* App does not load on new iPad 10.2 2019 model. Just freezes on white screen. ### 2/5 — Silent spots *2018-10-25, version 1.1* I like listening to the morning news on this app but during commercial spots I just hear silence until the news anchors pick up again. Tried to uninstall and reinstall. Only listen to keep up with state news. If I found something else I would replace it. ### 2/5 — Hate going to it *2018-10-19, version 1.1* The app content is fine, but it’s the only app I have that stops the sound from other apps at opening. So if your listening to music from another app, open the MetroNews app, your background music just stops.
