Essential Read

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

Timbers Soccer?

Very weak coverage of this pro team!

terrible

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

?

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

Total Left Wing Newspaper

No objective news coverage

Drives me nuts

Hostile interfaces

One feature is annoying

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

Daily Essentials

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.

Good journalism

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.

Extreme liberal bias

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.

Response

Easy to read. I loved reading the newspaper but I have to say this works. I need the news- - the REAL news.
Especially at this time!

My Daily Routine

I look forward to seeing my sports section and then local news and what is happening Internationally.

Unhappy

You guys have ruined the paper. You have filled it with duplicate sports and comics just to make it feel like more. You have eliminated the national business section which we all have interest in. I am about to cancel subscription because of all of this after 30 plus years. Also missing previous days scores and many times it doesn’t show up until 2 days later

App fails to maintain state

The iPad can go to sleep and when it wakes up the app has closed down. Relaunch and I wait and wait for it to reload and display today’s paper so I can reopen it. Frequently get a spinner and need to kill and restart the app to get it to reload the paper. Basic app 101 stuff to cache the last thing I was reading when iOS signals the app it is sleeping/closing and display where I was when it opens again.

Wood stoves

The Oregonian has gone way too liberal in their reporting. For example yor article on wood burning was purely from the perspective of Oregon’s DEQ, a very liberal organization.
We would like to see articles that give multi points of view not just the liberal or woke point.

Disgusted

Lousy ability to pull up stories or even scan pages on my iPhone. Frequently dumps me out. And now, no clear way to even send this review.

Stuck

The latest version was pretty good until it REALLY wasn’t. In today’s edition I am stuck in the individual article mode. I was in that mode, reading an article in the sort of pop up window, when I had to step away from my iPad for several minutes. I returned to find that the app had timed out, forcing me to tap the icon to get back into the app. It was still in the single article mode! That seemed like a nice feature, except the Nav button in the upper left is Home, not Back, and Home takes me out to the opening app page, not to this day’s edition. Other than swiping left through EVERY SINGLE ARTICLE in today’s edition, I have no way to read today’s paper in the app. I’ve tried restarting the app, going to a different day’s edition and back to today, and logging out of the app, but nothing gets me out of article mode for today. The only other thing I can think of is to delete the app and reinstall, but I’m sick of doing that for so many apps that have serious bugs.

It is terrible

Thinking about cancelling my subscription. The paper is now very difficult to navigate and sign into. Do really hate your readers.

Navigating

Seriously?!? No section bookmarks??? That seems soooo basic.

Where’s the Fairness

I’m troubled by the way a majority of the items are written.
It seems like most things are written with too much of a liberal stance.
I would like to see more items written with an equal liberal/conservative slant.
Also, it would be nice to see a return of Spider-Man to the comics. Spider-Man was dropped several years ago but with the world wide popularity of superheros (movies, books, comic books) it would be great to see him reappear in the Oregonian.
