iPadOS Navigation Bug Still Needs Attention
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.

App is buggy!
The Oregonlive app crashes, won’t save articles, and won’t allow sharing stories.
Annoying: Now Only Fragments of Articles
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?
iPad app loads slow and freezes
Very frustrating. On my brand new iPad, it loads slowly and then after one menu selection, freezes and won’t allow selection of another.
Poor performance!
Often very slow. Even in the background, it makes my phone sluggish. After two or three articles, it begins freezing for a minute or so.
Paywall barricades
I’m a paid subscriber but keep getting paywall ads when I try to read an article. I’ve contacted support services numerous times in an attempt to have the issue fixed, but nothing changes. I guess I’ll just keep up on the news by reading headlines. Not much value for $99 a year.
Doesn’t recognize subscription
I’m a longtime subscriber, have logged in properly, yet the app keeps demanding I login to continue reading, which doesn’t work. The thing is broken, not that it ever worked very well.
App is garbage
This app has basically become worthless with the recent releases. The app chooses what articles to display, which is their choice, but “search” is 100% broken, as in “does not work at all”. So to find an article that is not displayed in the app I need to go to a browser and bring up the full newspaper edition and find the article I want that way. Ridiculous!

App closes out.
Every time I’m in this app lately, it closes it out. I’m a subscriber and it is increasingly frustrating to try to read or browse the app.
Poor performance
After two or three articles, it begins freezing for up to half a minute at a time. (Perhaps a memory leak?)
Content is fine. Functionality is awful
App is VERY slow to load, and constantly freezes. So frustrating.
Used to work but now freezes on iPad
I’m a OregonLive subscriber and happily used this app for years on my iPad 9th gen. Sometime in the last month the app became unusable with slowness and freezing. I have no trouble with other apps. I removed and reinstalled but this did not work. Finally my workaround was to remove the OregonLive app permanently and add a Home Screen link to the Oregonlive web page.

Live on iOS26 on iPad
Performance awful - perhaps it is better on older iOS and iPhone but new iOS and iPad the app freezes constantly, gets hung up by its own embedded ads, and is just very slow. It is the slow way to finding out what is happening in Portland. Someone please debug and cleanup this app for all devices on iOS 26.

New update
After latest update this app is glitching and a headache to deal with. Deleting for now, hopefully they fix it soon.
Newest updated app freezes during scrolling
With the newest updates, the OregonLive app on both my Gen 2 iPhone SE and Gen 9 iPad is now slow to start and will freeze for 2-10 seconds while scrolling through a news article. I believe the freezing may be due to the new ads that load part way through the article? Or it’s now a more of a memory hog? Whatever it is, the app is now unusable to read any article that is a longer read. I will go back to reading OregonLive via a web browser, checking back with the app to see if it runs any better after future updates.

Fix the sign in issue. Allow the phone ap to work like the iPad
This is Impossible!!!
Paid subscription, massive ads
There are so many ads, even though I am a subscriber. The ads are so invasive it slows down pages loading on my I pad, I doubt I will keep subscribing.
Frustrating app
I mostly read news on an iPad rather than iPhone. (The app might behave better on iPhone.) But, on iPad, the app freezes all the time, sometimes forever, especially with third party ads. The endless third-party ads (Taboula et al) embedded in the stories make it hard to follow a story to the end. As a paid subscriber, I deserve a much better experience.

App crashes every time I do a search
The moment I type in the search box, the app crashes. I reported it and wonder how long it’ll take tor them to fix. It’s been well over a week of constant crashing and I’ve made sure it’s not my phone. I strongly suspect it started with the last app update. I normally use the search daily to find articles I want—sigh. 😔
