## Review summary

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).
