I installed the BBC news app as the watch was about to ship and thought it would be cool to see BBC news on my wrist and get alerts. I had never installed it before and it worked really well.
A couple of days ago I was getting election news and didn't check it much since.
Today I actually opened the watch app screen and exactly the same news stories were being shown.
Taking a look at the app on the iPhone finally it was asking for an iTunes rating and it seems this was blocking all app activity. As soon as I passed this prompt it started working again.
This is probably something that application developers need to watch out for in the future but it's also something you can look for if a new app stops serving content on the watch and you generally don't visit the iPhone screen for that app.
