### 1/5 — No longer useful for local news

*2026-08-06, version 5.0.0*

So much content is now under pay wall, increasingly each week, so not useful source of local news

### 3/5 — Janky so dar

*2026-08-06, version 5.0.0*

Usually the app works well as. However, there’s been two instances in the last two days since I’ve been using it where, despite the fact I was already signed in it hasn’t let me view an article saying, “to continue reading you need a subscription…”. After I push the button saying, “ restore purchase” and got a message from the app that said “ purchase history restored” the app simply went back to the original page saying that I needed a subscription and never let me read the actual article. Another time, when I clicked on a link in an article within the app, it took me outside the app to Oregonlive.com to read the article, again blocking my access to the article when it did so and saying I needed to sign in.

### 1/5 — Rip Off Artists

*2026-08-04, version 5.0.0*

There is nothing good to say about OregonLive.  I subscribe to two national newspapers and one UK newspaper and never have been denied access to any of them. I am continually being denied access to Oregon. The Oregon AG should investigate them. They are ripping off their subscribers.

### 1/5 — Love the Paywall

*2026-08-02, version 5.0.0*

Love how all the left-leaning media outlets have gone behind paywalls.

### 1/5 — Paywall extremes

*2026-08-02, version 5.0.0*

Far too many articles are behind a paywall. Makes this app functionally useless.

### 1/5 — Access

*2026-07-13, version 4.5.11*

I subscribe thru the app but am blocked from reading the entire article ….

### 2/5 — iPadOS Navigation Bug Still Needs Attention

*2026-07-09, version 4.5.11*

Today, after a long hiatus, I subscribed to OregonLive again. Unfortunately, the latest version (4.5.11) of your app still has a bug that prevents proper navigation on Apple iPadOS. For example, when navigating from “Portland” to “Politics” on my iPad, the content is not refreshed. The same navigation works correctly on iOS. Selecting “Politics” should refresh the page and display the Politics section. Instead, the app remains on the previously displayed content.

I’m using a 12.9-inch iPad Pro (4th generation) running iPadOS 26.5.2. The problem is consistently reproducible on my device. When I previously reported this issue to your technical support team, I was told they were unable to reproduce it. Because I primarily use my iPad to read your content, I canceled my subscription last year (under a different email address).

As I mentioned to your support representative, I believe your development team could benefit from looking at the New York Times app as an example of a more polished user experience. Your browser-based navigation could also be improved.

### 1/5 — App is buggy!

*2026-05-12, version 4.5.11*

The Oregonlive app crashes, won’t save articles, and won’t allow sharing stories.

### 2/5 — Annoying: Now Only Fragments of Articles

*2026-02-20, version 4.5.8*

A so-so app has taken a monumental downturn. The OregonLive app now only includes the first paragraph of each article. It’s a poorly designed and flawed attempt to get readers to subscribe, yet every complete articles are accessible at no cost on oregonlive.com. What’s the point of the app now?

### 1/5 — iPad app loads slow and freezes

*2026-01-12, version 4.5.7*

Very frustrating.   On my brand new iPad, it loads slowly and then after one menu selection, freezes and won’t allow selection of another.
