Leave a Review The Oregonian News
Miss leading headlines
I enjoy reading the Oregonian on line. Just two criticisms. The small asides in the comics are poorly resolute. Blurry and hard to read. also your headlines in the op-Ed sections often seem to be right leaning. “Biden administration weakens wetland protections after ruling.” It makes Biden look like it was their idea, not like they were forced to act by right wing courts.Show lessButchie Bather
Page size
My husband and I love the printed format of the paper ( as opposed to headlines with links), and are thankful the Oregonian still has the morning print edition available in the app. We enjoy reading on our iPads each morning.
However a recent update made it so that rather than one page at a time, you can only get the two page spread. So no longer can we tilt the iPad to make the page fit horizontally but view just the top half—making the font size readable. Now you have to use your fingers to stretch the screen and then scroll about to read different articles. We’ve gotten used to it but the old way was easier.
Over all, the app works great other than this complaint.Show lessDoggonelaura
Improvement over the years
I have been using this app pretty much since the beginning. Most updates made it better. Occasionally the update rendered the app unusable but was fixed later. I like the archives and the magazines available a lot and saving paper never hurts. Not all that fond of the afternoon addition.val'scatmom
Slowly improving
I’m a long time reader of the “paper” on my iPad mini. Through the years, they did some issues and creat others. This latest version seems stable. What I really like is once I’ve read an article, it will not be re-presented to me later - because it’s like reading a paper - start on the front page and stop on the last page.
What could be improved:
I read by zooming in and out with my fingers. If I nearly touch, the app jumps to full-screen view of that article I touched (and may not be the one I am reading). I would prefer a double tap
The Sunday comics could be served at higher resolution. Some of the text is hard to read at full zoomShow lessTimDier
The Oregonian Newspaper
It took me many years to stop home delivery of the daily Oregonian. After delivery reduced to several times a week and price skyrocketing, I opted for on-line news.
I have been pleasantly surprised how easy the APP is to use and now could not live without my morning Oregonian on-line. Thank you for staying up with “the times” as they are a-changin!Show lessDeby1953
Works - could be better
I use the app regularly and it works, but would be better if It didn’t require print download before digital download. Would also be nice if I could see what I was writing in this review. It is white text on a white background.
That and as I write this review the text is white on white so I can’t see it. So I am drafting the text in another app and pasting it so I can see what I am writing. Not great.Show lessAn0therH4ndl3
Like the app, but...
...sometimes the articles don't flow, and there are still glitches with the puzzles feature. If you tap pnce on an article, it normally opens in a new window with a larger view of the text. The entire article can be read by just scrolling down. On some, it ends at the same place it ends on the print version and then you have to exit the article, go to the continuation page, and then read the rest of the article. As for puzzles, there is no way to log into your account from the puzzle page until you've completed a crossword or another puzzle. Additionally, once you've logged in, it should keep your scores so you can see how you did over the month. The CROSSWORD PUZZLE does NOT do this. There are many other glitches to the crossword as well, too many to mention. Bottom line, I very rarely play the crossword anymore as it just doesn't work correctly.Show lessSusieQ97219
Bug
It has a serious bug. When downloading the latest edition, you can’t close the download window so you can actually read the paper. It seems to be more of a problem on the iPad.akampfer
User friendly but could be improved
Easy to use but needs a hot link feature that lets the user read articles that continue on multiple pages and allows the user to return to the starting page. This was a feature in an earlier version but not in this version.Bill 2nd
Latest update
Today’s update has made for a frustrating morning. I can no longer read the paper like I used to. I used to be able to have the option to go to specific pages, have the paper open to fill my whole iPad screen and print the crossword puzzle from the app. Those options are no longer available no matter whether I choose print or digital versions or how I select my page layout. I was told by customer service to pinch the puzzle, take a screen shot and print it. That gives me the tiniest puzzle ever when printed. If I could give zero stars, I would. I am not impressed!Show lessDtardy
