### 5/5 — Essential Read

*2026-06-05, version 8.0.2*

Now more than ever The Oregonian’s reporting and analysis is an essential read.

### 2/5 — Timbers Soccer?

*2026-04-11, version 8.0.2*

Very weak coverage of this pro team!

### 2/5 — terrible

*2026-03-06, version 8.0.2*

the paper is pretty good but the app is very clunky and difficult to navigate.

### 4/5 — ?

*2026-03-03, version 8.0.2*

Sports news about local teams mostly a day late even when their scores are early in the day before!

### 1/5 — Total Left Wing Newspaper

*2026-02-12, version 8.0.1*

No objective news coverage

### 1/5 — Drives me nuts

*2025-11-02, version 6.1.2*

Hostile interfaces

### 4/5 — One feature is annoying

*2025-10-02, version 6.1.2*

The app is easy to use and I use it every day. Having local news is critical to me. But the feature that shifts the article I am reading to another format is very annoying to me. Please give us a switch to turn off that feature. Thanks

### 2/5 — Daily Essentials

*2025-08-19, version 6.1.1*

Young or old, we are better for having professional journalists and critics keep us fully informed. 

TV is mostly crime and disaster headlines. The Oregonian gives us sports, easy to read comics, personal problem coaching, political news, and other practical guidelines. Local, state, regional and national news is delivered early each morning in impressively well written form. Obits, entertainment highlights and personal stories too. That’s a lot for the monthly amount charged.

I’m glad we have the option of four days a week delivery. My wife and I often cut out articles for sharing or reading later.

And no, I have no personal or professional connection to the paper. I am just a grateful reader.

### 5/5 — Good journalism

*2025-08-07, version 6.1.1*

The Oregonian is a quality, reliable news source, which is probably way undervalued.   Journalism of such high standards must be supported or we lose a critical piece of our democracy.

### 2/5 — Extreme liberal bias

*2025-08-02, version 6.1.1*

Very unbalanced coverage of national politics and the national news because of reliance on WAPO, NYT, LAT, Politico, etc. Local and state reporting seething with woke-ism (pronouns, etc.). Only keep the subscription for the crossword puzzles.
