Great news source, bad app
I’ve used this app for years as a way to stay informed on Portland news. The reporting from KOIN 6 is the best in the area. Unfortunately, the company that created their app needs help.
The ads that they have in the app often freeze or crash the whole app, requiring closing the app and restarting. On iOS, they haven’t implemented common gestures, like the ability to swipe backward to the main screen. And they don’t offer a paid upgrade for an ad-free experience. I’ve even contacted the KOIN leadership team to ask for a paid, ad-free subscription option, but they declined.
Today, the app is almost unusable. The ads or video stream are stalled and again freezing or locking the app. Attempting to scroll down instead taps into one of the stories.
Please fix this app!

deleted Nexstar
Good app, great local news team but deleted app on the same day Nexstar CEO Perry Sook acquiesced free speech to dictator wanna-be Trump. Replaced with news app from OPB and Willamette Week. If Sook runs Tegna in the merger, will delete KGW app too.
Bad link
Doesn’t open
Settings don’t work
I’ve deleted the app because I can’t turn off weather updates. Getting way too many alerts. It’s going to rain in 15 minutes. Really? I live in Oregon.
Full of ads
This app won’t even take you to the article you clicked on.
