Ratings and Reviews
Fox News Lite
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.
Difficult Newsfeed page
I’m disappointed in the updated main Newsfeed page. Rather than headlines, it shows a large photo with its headline, so I have to scroll down and down and down through all photos/headlines. While the Local selection, for example, is easy to use and I’m able to select what story I want to read, I don’t see a way to select that format for the main Newsfeed page. I’d like to see headlines for local/nation/world available on the main page rather than large photos.
The last update did broke this app!
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.
