About this app

Read your news or blogs from Bridge City in a special Portland app. This is Portland will always give you the best recommendations for news sources. It is up to you what you add and choose to read. This is Portland is not a news station, it does not produce news, but it is a reading tool. Our app is a news feed reader directed at Portland area, configured to search the web for reliable local RSS feeds that you may choose to add and read.

You may also enter any website address and the app will try and find if it has a public RSS feed, that you can add.

Our app offers two reading modes, List mode and Live mode.

In List mode, all sources you add are listed vertically and you may browse news by source.

In Live mode, we will group all news titles from all the recommended feeds that you add and you may read titles as they are published by the sources in one big flow. Even more, the Live mode groups titles by topics.

So, you can read all news and other topics of your interest in one place.

This is Portland has a dedicated team that constantly monitors public feeds related to Portland area and updates and filters our feed suggestions to offer a civilized and comfortable reading experience. We are also monitoring our Live option solution to keep a good flow of titles mix for your selections.

- No intrusive permissions
- News are fetched fast and in real time
- No downloads in the background, while not in the app
- Options to enlarge or reduce texts in real time

No need for several news apps.
Even though we do not offer news, we have journalists in our group to monitor our news reading apps.

Since the app updated to require watching an ad to view the articles, it now randomly takes you to the app store without even clicking anything. Before this the issues in the app were tollerable, such as incorrect pictures loading with articles, but not anymore.

my #1 complaint about OTHER news apps / websites? All the ads! This has a couple ads of course and links to the original news sources (where there might be ads) however this app is not overwelmed with ads and its SIMPLE AND STRAIGHTFORWARD bc its hard to find an app that ACTUALLY WORKS WITHOUT THE B.S. i am very happy about this app!! no mess no hassle just news!! And you can get ALLLLLLL the local news stations in one place!! To the developer- THANK YOU #NotAllHerosWearCapes
