The Oregonian News 17+

My husband and I love the printed format of the paper ( as opposed to headlines with links), and are thankful the Oregonian still has the morning print edition available in the app. We enjoy reading on our iPads each morning.

However a recent update made it so that rather than one page at a time, you can only get the two page spread. So no longer can we tilt the iPad to make the page fit horizontally but view just the top half—making the font size readable. Now you have to use your fingers to stretch the screen and then scroll about to read different articles. We’ve gotten used to it but the old way was easier.

Over all, the app works great other than this complaint.

...sometimes the articles don't flow, and there are still glitches with the puzzles feature. If you tap pnce on an article, it normally opens in a new window with a larger view of the text. The entire article can be read by just scrolling down. On some, it ends at the same place it ends on the print version and then you have to exit the article, go to the continuation page, and then read the rest of the article. As for puzzles, there is no way to log into your account from the puzzle page until you've completed a crossword or another puzzle. Additionally, once you've logged in, it should keep your scores so you can see how you did over the month. The CROSSWORD PUZZLE does NOT do this. There are many other glitches to the crossword as well, too many to mention. Bottom line, I very rarely play the crossword anymore as it just doesn't work correctly.

We subscribe to the print version of this paper, but it’s delivered only Sunday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Most of the time, even when I have the paper version, I just read it online using this app.
I’ve been using the app through several updates, and the interface is increasingly reliable and intuitive.
Only a few minor problems: if I shift to another app and come back, I’ll often get the message “a newer edition is available, would you like to download it now?” Sometimes when I hit no, it downloads the same day’s edition again and I have to scroll to where I was.
Overall, I’m happy with being able to read my news this way and to support my local news source.
