Sheesh.
You would hope a large ABC affiliate would know basic spelling at least… I’ve seen too many typos on this app to care anymore. It always seems like the app is managed by an unsupervised intern who wishes they worked for Vice or Buzzfeed.
Is there a way to give ZERO stars?
This is one of the most useless TVcontent apps that I’ve ever encountered.
The last update did broke this app!
The update made this app so using it will not go past the white logo page. Unless you use wi-fi connection . At this point you might as well use your tv to watch the news or video. The whole point to have this app on your mobile devices is to have on the go and your Wi-Fi doesn’t follow you everywhere you go.
Won’t open!
Crashes immediately when trying to open & is, therefore, useless!
Fox News Lite
KATU has an easy to use app without a lot of ads, and is good about reporting local news that OregonLive fails to cover. Unfortunately KATU seems to be slowly and surely being biased towards the right. They are increasing their coverage of national politics with stories that are only on Fox News and other right leaning news organizations. I will continue to use the KATU news app, but with caution, because it’s pretty obvious where they stand and what their agenda is. Too bad they can’t just report the news without trying to brainwash us.
Latest Update Broke the App
The most recent update last week broke the app. It no longer loads past the white logo screen.
Easiest local news app despite bias.
KATU leans slightly to the right, but darnit their app is the easiest to navigate and they report on a lot of local news that The Oregonian fails to cover. The key to reading news on KATU is to ignore their attempts to scare you into supporting republicans. Most newspapers lean to the left, so it can’t hurt to have a little balance in your news. One last thing, Kotek won, time to give up and publish the results, as painful as it might be for you.
Thanks for watching and downloading our app. This update fixes some bugs and adds performance improvements!
