### 5/5 — Very enjoyable

*2026-06-04*

It’s very nice being able to meet up on local and state news all in one place. It’s not perfect, but give it a try.  I’m just very grateful that folks took the time to make this app. Thank you to all the developers and contributors.

### 1/5 — Still Full of Bugs

*2025-04-30*

The latest release is still full of bugs. Closes unexpectedly when clicking on some stories. Consumes excessive power. Scrolling tends to get slower and slower. All in all, not a good app, nor anywhere close to being acceptable.

### 1/5 — Needs Work

*2025-03-30*

While using, response slows to a crawl and eventually freezes. Consumes a great deal of power - case of iPhone gets quite warm.

### 5/5 — Great way to get local news!!

*2024-10-04*

What a great way to get my news!!!! It’s the first place I go when something is happening in WV! I love being able to look at the e-editions also!!!! Top stories is an easy way to quickly keep updated on current events.I haven’t had any issues and I like that my local news is all in one place:)

### 1/5 — Non-Functional app without a subscription

*2024-09-18*

For the longest time, articles could be read on the app without a subscription but with an account. Fine. Now, the articles are behind a paywall unless you also subscribe. It isn’t worth it, when any of the information can be found elsewhere freely.

### 5/5 — Best WV news app

*2020-08-07, version 121.2*

This is such a nice app for my local news in Morgantown, WV, Fairmont, WV, Clarksburg and Bridgeport as well as Preston county. Covering WVU and statewide issues from an independent standpoint! And it’s free...tough to find these days.
