Notification turn on/off all or none
It seem I am unable to locate where I can turn off notifications I don’t want for instance, if I didn’t want sport notifications there is no place to turn them off or on. The only choice I see is all off(no notifications) or all on.
I know there use to be a place to choose the notifications you wanted but there is no I can find. Tired of all the notifications.

NSFW
Just in the last week or two, when I click on a notification that opens the app, the Envirodispose (sp?) ad that has always been there plays music. I can no longer quietly open to read a news story during a boring work meeting or sitting in a doctor’s office because it plays loudly. Very unfortunate and embarrassing. I am going to have to train myself to no longer click on stories to read when I am out in public.

Poorly designed app
App is super monetized, they send you notifications for everything and you can’t opt on for weather alerts only which is 95% of the reason everybody downloads this app. Every time they publish a new story they send you a notification and every time you click on that notification, it never opens to the actual article the notification was about. Also they play ads every single time you reload the page a video/stream is playing on so you miss important tornado warning information because you’re watching the same glass and siding commercial for the 1000th time that night.

Finally one that works
I downloaded all three of the local news station apps for the weather radar. This seems to be the only one that doesn’t send you to the mobile site and loads instantly. I mean, if I wanted to go to the mobile website I’d just go there without downloading the app. Thank you for not hiring a child to develop your app.

Worst OKC News App
This app is 100% an ad delivery money-making vehicle for News9. Click a notification for a story, the app opens and IMMEDIATELTY plays a video commercial. Close the video, and the story you tapped for doesn't even appear, AND you can't even find it on the main screen! You can't customize your notifications to only get breaking news, weather, and/or traffic. You MUST also accept whatever dumb/unimportant stories they want you to get a notification for (so you'll open the app to see an ad). I deleted the app from all my devices. Stick with the other two OKC news apps—they're so much better. You can actually customize your notifications and read the story you came for.

A severe weather Must have!
News 9 is the only OKC weather app and news app I use, and the only weather I watch on TV. If there’s severe weather expected, or happening, I immediately go to News 9 on TV and the app on my phone. They stay with it when the other stations go on with regular programming. The only one that I trust is 9!!

Horrible app!
Such a horrible app and their updates just keep making it worse!
1) Updates way more often than an app should (probably explains the issues I’m having). They still have yet to get it right after several chances and several years with the app.
2) Loading times for videos are very slow on any of their pages. This is probably due to the 15 ads they allow on their pages. I can understand being shown an ad or two but so many ads that it effects my app usage is not acceptable.
3) Audio skips and/or repeats. This happens while the video keeps playing. So trying to understand the weather or anything is next to impossible.
4) as a page loads the page jumps up and down as it’s loading. This is probably due to the large and small formatted ads on the page. It Just makes it inconvenient to try to read a story on the app while the page fully loading.
This happens on 2 different iPhones, 1 new (iPhone11) and 1 older (iPhone7) so I know it’s not a phone processor issue. I don’t dare use this app without a WiFi connection as it takes forever to load, PLUS I don’t want to wait or pay data charges for their 15 ads.
It’s best to either watch the news channel on TV or just download an app from another news channel that u trust.

I love news 9 but
I love news 9 but there are times you can’t watch it your phone. I’m taking a wild guess, I think there’s a switch you have to turn on for the news when it’s on and a lot of times it doesn’t get turned on. Let’s get efficient on making sure it’s turned on. I know there were times when the noon news would go off and I could watch what was afterwards but then immediately before the noon news was getting ready to go off air it goes dead on the phone. So there is some kind of switch or button to turn it on and off.

App is great when it works properly
For the past week or two the app occasionally locks up when I access it thru Facebook and won’t let me close it out. The only way to unlock it and access facebook is to restart my phone. This is the only app this is happening with. I like channel 9, but this is really annoying so I’ve had to use the other news channel apps. Please fix this so I can use channel 9 again.

Commercial or news?
News 9 used to have a decent app, pretty advanced compared to other local news channels. However, their recent app overhaul has turned the app into nothing but a commercial for the local casinos. Want to see what the “breaking news” is all about? You’ll have to wait for the overloaded app to finally load, then you’ll have to wait for the casino commercial to load so that you can “X” out of the ad. If you’re not careful and tap too soon, you’ll be redirected to the casino ad. NO THANKS! I’ll just use one if the other local stations apps.
