User Reviews

Users praise KOIN 6’s strong, local Portland news coverage and its long-standing reliability, but repeatedly complain that the iOS app is plagued by ads, crashes, and poor usability. The reporting quality is a common pro, while ad-heavy UX, loading failures, disruptive alerts, and accessibility issues are the most mentioned cons across reviews.

Pros

Strong local news reporting considered the best in the area.
Long-standing, trusted source for Portland news that users have relied on for years.
Accessibility/readability option with two text sizes.

Cons

Pervasive ads and auto-playing video ads that disrupt reading and can crash the app.
Frequent loading/crashing issues: app freezes, won’t load content, weather link kicks users out.
Poor navigation and UX: hard to dismiss ads, scrolling is jumpy, and returning to the article list is difficult.
Notifications/alerts inconsistent or irrelevant, with poor customization options.
Accessibility and content accessibility degraded (screen reader support disrupted).

Recent reviews

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!

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.
