KATU News Mobile

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.

This is one of the most useless TVcontent apps that I’ve ever encountered.

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.

Crashes immediately when trying to open & is, therefore, useless!

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.

The most recent update last week broke the app. It no longer loads past the white logo screen.

I don’t live near Portland!

This app was almost as bad as watching the news online. If my phone moved the slightest, the entire story starts again. And with all the commercials, you would think they could afford to fix these issues.

After the most recent update I can’t open the weather forecast, it just crashes the app.

I don't use the app much lately. The format isn't very good on mobile and lately I try to read an article but as I scroll down only ads are there. Chunks where maybe an article would be are just black rectangles with no text in them.
