The new app that OPB just recently released has lots of good features and was easy to use. Navigating the site was fairly intuitive. Two things I’d like to see though. 1st, the date of the article right up front so you know if you’re tapping on fresh news or something a bit older. The 2nd “want” may not be under OPB’s control: Cross platform synchronization. I’d like my iPad saved stories, for example, to show up in my iPhone OPB app. Otherwise very good app for getting the news.
Most relevance and reliable source of news for Oregon!

It's not difficult to get access to news today. The internet and the intermingling of social media with important worldwide events has made it almost impossible to live under a rock. But finding a reliable one-stop shop to engage with your news can be somewhat of a challenge. If you are living in Oregon, i'd recommend that you consider this app your reliable news!
Organized + highly useful

I appreciate the clean and generally easy-to-navigate format: scrolling headlines, relevant images/graphics, clear organization, audio links, detailed dropdown menu, separate tabs for categories at the schedule section plus calendar of programs including on-air & upcoming shows. My only issue was finding a search bar - it’s tiny and seems to only exist in one section.
Easy way to catch up on the news

Easy to use! This is a very convenient way to catch up in the news and not be dealing with a lot of advertising and promotional material. The news is balanced. There are articles and perspectives that I haven’t seen in other news sources I use. Features and capabilities in the app are easy to navigate and quite intuitive.
- Updated the app icon.
- Updates to ensure continued notification functionality.
