Leave a Review Portland, Oregon News from KGW
Turn off the ads during emergencies!
Sitting through a commercial, especially when cell service is spotty, to find out if you need to evacuate due to fires or when learning about virus outbreaks is not only irresponsible but dangerous! Be a better neighbor please!noname anon
Not organized
Information is doubled and not the same. In other words sometimes the report on deaths has two different totals, unorganized, scattered. And what happened to the map for traffic? Showing red where traffic is slow!Bweinberg
Incessant ads must go!!!
Update: Thank you for doing away with the ads for a short period of time but then you brought them back! 😩 A lot more people would use the app if you didn’t force us to watch 15-30 seconds of ads before we can view a news clip with volume! Super disappointed that wasn’t a permanent change! Although the news about the coronavirus is less urgent now, I want to follow news about George Floyd’s murder and the movement it has sparked that demands prompt and permanent change in how people of color are treated. Please find another way to show ads rather than showing teaser news clips on mute that make you view an ad to have volume!!!!
***********
I love the notifications of breaking news but the same repetitive OHSU Health ad that you are forcing people to watch over and over for 15-30 seconds before we are allowed to view a 1-2 minute news snippet is ridiculous! And if we want to watch more than one news snippet, we have to watch the same annoying ad over and over. I get that advertising pays your bills but in light of the global pandemic & the public need for TIMELY updates on the health crisis that directly impact all of us, I would argue that a reduction in mandatory viewing of ads is very much overdue.Show lessMUSIACIALLY LOVER
Adds are repeated over and over
This version of the app is terrible. KGW has finally changed their website back to a readable interface. Can’t stand the repeating content. Trying to find weather info is hard.
Keep it simple. I don’t mind the ads if they don’t repeat. And don’t need all the graphics either. I want news I can read.Show lesssimpleisbetterpls
One thing.
Ever since I got the app it appears to be harder to navigate then when I would just go to goggle to get to KGW. Can I get the live cast with the app? Always prefer KGW because the news reporters always have seemed relatable and down to earth.
Oh! And we love Maggie Vespa.... and everyone else. Morning, Evening you’re all great.Show lesschuckulery
Note from Ross Hamilton
My rating will go up, I’m sure, as I familiarize myself with KGW’s site. I’m just new to it, but so far what I’m seeing, it looks great and navigates beautifully. Gotta love the engaged hard news coverage. Accurate, careful, attributable journalism...a good thing for all citizens.rwhamilton
App issues
It takes several try to watch the videos as the app closes when the play button is selectedblueviol
Something to take note.
I’ve had this app off and on for a LONG time.. my biggest suggestion .. we need news faster and more at our fingertips ... if we had time to watch your commercial or commercials at all why would we chose an app to catch up.. cut all people off from ads and give us locals the “real news” we LOVE I REFUSE ABSOLUTELY ... REFUSE to watch anyone else’s news broadcast or even subscribe let’s check my social media nothing KGW is my local hometown news! You guys are rock stars let’s keep shining also let’s talk more POSITIVE where are the news journalist
Whatever happened to finding a really really good story.
Find support groups for people of all situations have them hammered with a banner at the bottom of you’re news cast and make sure to bring it to the light it’s the season of loneliness and the true feeling of no love... suicides are at a higher rate due to the holidays! Help us !!! We need someone like you A BIG BIG LOCAL PLATFORM you guys change people’s life’s and point of view bring us up! Be our vitamin D

A trusted source!
I’ve always looked too KGW as my source for accurate and timely news- national and local. I’ve been continually impressed and appreciative of the talent and knowledge of all their presentations. It’s the source I check in with first thing in the morning- My trust is that deep!RigzinTenphel3758
My small beef with the new website
The only thing that really bugs me is how LONG I have to wait for the news. The “Good Morning” “Good Evening” waiting gets on my nerves! When I click on the AP I want the news, not a peaceful greeting. But it is beautiful! 66 year old Female 👩🏻🦳Deby1953
