KATU used to be the best news app for local news in the Portland area. I live on the outer edge of the metro area and other local news outlets would never cover things that happened in my town, except KATU. Unfortunately the app is now very difficult to navigate without constant pop ups for videos that don’t exist, graphics that don’t match up to the story, and lots of typos. Even worse, they have given up on actual investigative reporting like KATU on your side. Instead, they focus on right wing narratives like endless stories about fraud in Minnesota. Their right wing shift has attracted commenters that say all kinds of hateful things about transgender people, gay people and people of color. It’s amazing to me that KATU allows such terrible things on its platform.

I appreciate getting news alerts on my phone but they are quite delayed. I justGot one that Carmelo Anthony was indicted for a stabbing. That’s old news. He was found guilty yesterday. Yesterday I received one about the Sandy police officer being shot. That’s been a couple of weeks ago and I also got one about 12 being shot at a festival in Ohio. Again, old news. Someone needs to check notification timing. Super annoying.

Disappointed

I have tried to create an account for a while now but no matter how many times I try, the confirmation email never arrives. You would have more customers than you do now, except your platform doesn’t function correctly. I will switch to Fox.
This release includes some bug fixes in the video player, the story screen, and the gallery
