Yahoo Weather app / widget won't load

I've used the Yahoo Weather widget for over a year.
A couple days ago it turned black and wouldn't load.
The app itself wouldn't load either....just a black screen.
I forced stopped it and cleared the cache.
I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it 4 times, but it still won't load.
I can't find where anyone else is having a problem with the app.
Odd.
Thanks for any ideas.

Try wiping the system cache partition, which is different from the app caches. Follow the steps in this video, but select Wipe Cache instead of Factory Data Reset. To be honest, I'm not sure if this wipes the system cache partition, since LG phones are known for not letting you do that--it might just be the app caches. But it's worth a try, and won't hurt.

Pressing the power / volume down key at the same time just restarted the phone.
I found where to clear the cache in the settings, storage area.
Still no weather app. I can use another, but I'm really curious why I
suddenly lost Yahoo. I did finally get a message that Yahoo Weather was
"not responding" while playing around with it.

You typically have to press them exactly at the same time, and keep them pressed until you get the special menu.

OK. Did it. Didn't solve problem. I ran an antivirus. I wrote the Yahoo Weather support team.
I'm sure it's something simple somewhere. I can't think of anything weird that I've done in the
past week.
Thanks for your help.

It could be a server problem on the Yahoo side--give it a few days and see if the problem resolves itself.

Sounds good. I'll post back if the problem is resolved.

7/6: Edited to add that I reinstalled the weather app today
and it worked!!! No idea what the problem was, but it fixed itself.

I'm having the same problem as lindakathy. Yahoo Weather App not responding. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times to no avail. Tried some of the other weather apps and they worked.

I'm also having this problem. At first, I could uninstall/reuinstall and it would fix it. Now, this won't happen. I didn't a complete system restore, and the app was working again, and now it is not. The black screen just hangs. Anyone have any luck in fixing this?
