KOIN 6 News - Portland News

Every single time I go in to the app, I have to go to weather and then go back to the home page to see the latest news. Your app does not automatically refresh and I see the old news from when I last opened for app. This could be days old news. You need to fix your app!

Also the audio doesn’t work.

I used to be able to choose to read the stories instead of watching videos on my iPad. I wrote in about a week ago telling them that there was a problem. I haven’t heard anything back nor has the problem been rectified. So, I’ll be deleting this app and finding another way to get news. It won’t be from KOIN since I can only conclude they don’t care if their customers can access their product. That means I won’t be seeing their advertisements, either.

Seriously, this used to be my go-to app for local news. Now, it’s unusable. I can’t even swipe up to bypass the ad that shows up when I open it. I guess I’ll go back to using KGW’s app, which is terrible, but at least it works.

Granted iOS 17 is a piece of craznap, but still. Fix it, KOIN! Otherwise I’ll have to get 100% of my local news from the Portland subreddits. (Currently I get about 90% of my local news from those.)

Did anyone test before releasing to the App Store?

App was working fine until latest update a couple days ago. It simply will not load. Iphone 15 plus ios 17.3

All of a sudden- this app will not work. Weather link kicks you off the app. ???

Weather screen fails to load due to the app crashing when the Weather button is tapped. Also, video ads are even more intrusive on news story screens, making it more difficult to read news stories. Is this a news app or an advertising platform?

When I click on an alert from an app, I expect to see the story in the alert. Invariably, when the KOIN News app gives me an alert, and I click on it, I am shown something completely irrelevant and usually not interesting. Today, I saw an alert for an updated NOAA forecast. I clicked. I was disappointed. I saw a story for an incident that happened six months ago, had nothing to do with NOAA, its forecast, or weather at all. I should not have to search for a link to a story I clicked on from an alert for the same app. I have no expectations that this will be fixed. It’s been this way for years. Other apps are more than capable of linking the correct story. Because of this, I will be turning off notifications in this app.
