It’s bad. Really bad. ### 2/5 — What Happened to the App *2026-08-06, version 50.19.0* I love 9News and am a dedicated watcher but what happened to the app? Why can I not search for a specific story? I have to scroll through whatever I don’t want or try to decide what category it might fall under and try to find it that way. I just end up closing the app and using Google to bring up the story I’m looking for. The weather upgrade is terrible, too. Hard to read the way it’s set up. Definitely not impressed with the update. ### 3/5 — Live streaming is gone *2026-08-04, version 50.19.0* I used to be able to go to this app and watch the evening news when I finally got around to making dinner at about 730 or 8 PM. I love that I could click on the news and it would just play the episode. Now it is all shorts in interspersed with many ads and I have to keep poking at it while I’m cooking. 😕 ### 3/5 — Outside US *2026-07-22, version 50.17.3* I would like them to change the app so it can be used when outside the US. 9News is the only news app that isn’t available when I travel to Europe. ### 4/5 — Content is good update is not *2026-07-20, version 50.16.0* I’d liked the app better prior to this update and format change. It is more difficult to search. I sometimes like to review an article that I’ve previously read and it can be very difficult to find that article again. ### 4/5 — Screen *2026-06-24, version 50.14.0* The background used to he black. It was easier on my eyes. Especially at bed time. ### 5/5 — Next rocks *2026-06-14, version 50.13.0* Kyle Clark is the greatest interviewer of all time. Channel 9 is trustworthy. Please don’t change. ### 5/5 — Great on air personalities *2026-06-12, version 50.12.0* I’m just enjoying the on air personalities All the usual are great the new additions phill. Loving him. Kyle Clark. Great political debates ### 4/5 — PJ *2026-06-11, version 50.12.0* I enjoy the 9 news app and mainly go into it to get the correct weather forecast. My phone is always wrong it seems. My only complaint is the weather maps and radar cannot be zoomed in. They are so small you cannot tell the cities or even the counties. It would really help if that could be changed please. The same with the pictures on the stories. I guess we are all spoiled with being able to zoom in on our phones just about everything. ### 5/5 — Unacceptable *2026-05-28, version 50.11.1* I used to only watch 9 news until it became so evident that it was completely biased against us Republicans. Kyle on the Next show is horrible and completely one sided for the democrats. Totally unacceptable. I will never watch this channel again not is it allowed on any TV in my house ### 5/5 — 9News….my hometown news *2026-05-25, version 50.10.7* I love the anchors and reporters on 9news. They cover the entire State and bring informative news to all, with a little entertainment added in. ### 5/5 — Fixed. Thank you. *2026-05-15, version 50.10.6* I take back what I said about the app a few months ago. It now works in landscape mode on my iPad. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Behind *2026-08-22, version 50.21.3* This app is three hours behind supposed to be “live”. Playing 4 pm news at 7 pm. ### 1/5 — Almost worthless *2026-08-15, version 50.21.3* You get the same ad-laden nightmare of their website, neither of which deliver local sports programming promised to local users. Blackmailing cable and satellite carriers into paying ridiculous fees to carry free broadcasts paid for by commercials galore isn’t enough money for Tegna, they gotta make you dig for the news articles hidden in a maze of advertising on their app, too. Not worth the bandwidth for the code. ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-08-14, version 50.21.3* Dog water app. Won’t even play live nfl preseason game on their app. ### 1/5 — Frozen *2026-08-14, version 50.21.3* Would be nice to be able to watch the broncos game ### 1/5 — 2026 Update is Terrible *2026-08-03, version 50.19.0* 8/3/26 -So sad to see this terrible app update is still out there. I will only click on articles from Facebook, since it still shows the old version of the app. I’ve turned off notifications for the 9News app on my phone. When I do forget and open the app, the font and formatting makes me cringe and I close again. I was hoping you’d ditch this dumpster fire but you haven’t so I’ve just deleted 9NEWS app from my phone and will use Denver7 from here on out, even though I prefer 9NEWS. I hope you all wake up and address this one day. —-// 2/26 Edit to add the feature where you click on a notification and are greeted with a too long, extended welcome screen, followed by a grey screen where the article should be is especially annoying. —-// The update released early 2026 is absolutely terrible. The main screen loads less than 50% of the time, when it does load, it takes forever. Frequently get “Unable to Load” errors. The page layout and font is awful and hard to read. Miss the old app. Just downloaded Denver7. Will use that until this mess is fixed. ### 1/5 — New changes are horrible *2026-07-14, version 50.15.4* The recent update/new app is horrible. Not sure who is In charge of the changes but they probably should look for a new job. ### 1/5 — I hate the new format *2026-06-12, version 50.12.0* The new format of the 9 news app is far from user friendly. Prior to the changes it was so easy to maneuver through and find out which stories were of interest to me. Now with the new format, I find myself using different news sources because it is too confusing. ### 1/5 — Notification settings don’t exist *2026-05-30, version 50.11.1* I have configured in the app the notifications I would like to receive, turning off all notifications EXCEPT breaking news, safety, weather and traffic alerts. THIS DOES NOT EXIST! I still receive notifications for EVERYTHING!!!! I do not care about a story about Morgan Wallen performing at Mile High. I do not care about some sports team hiring some coach, NFL or college. I think you all need to reconsider what you think breaking news is. Or at least give me a more detailed option to configure what I want to see. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2026-05-11, version 50.10.6* The weather always has a blank white page and most of the time doesn’t refresh. Deleted app and reloaded and just never shows up. ### 1/5 — New app needs a lot of work 5/6/26 *2026-05-09, version 50.10.6* The new app really needs some help. Having reloaded this a few times already, weather rarely works as nothing will show. Also, only works in portrait mode?? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Like *2026-08-16, version 50.21.3* It’s very local you get to here about stuff like right in your neighborhood and the weather is super accurate ### 5/5 — News *2026-07-31, version 50.18.4* Denver Native enjoy reading the news instead of watching it ### 5/5 — Local News *2026-07-30, version 50.18.4* I lived in CO 30 yrs and have family & friends there. I like to know updates that affect them. ### 5/5 — Bomb.com *2026-07-29, version 50.18.4* For realzies! ### 5/5 — Reliable *2026-07-11, version 50.15.4* I can trust 9 News to always report the truth. ### 5/5 — 9news viewer from Highlands Ranch *2026-07-04, version 50.15.4* We support 9news 100%. I love the next show. I like how you guys present the news that’s real. There’s no spin on it just real good solid stories and around the world news as well as local. We love you guys. ### 5/5 — 9 News *2026-06-29, version 50.14.0* No matter what time of day be at the morning it’s rarely in the afternoon but evening the rest of the day whenever I watch the news channel 9 rocks there they are not biased. They give a very good objective view, and the people are above and beyond doing their duties, which is great. ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2026-06-29, version 50.14.0* My connection to back home. I read this daily. ### 5/5 — Fits my favorite local news into my hands *2026-06-15, version 50.13.0* Channel 9 rocks and their app does too! Quick to hit me with notices of important local news that keeps me informed. I appreciate their team of journalists and how they get me real news, data and info. ### 5/5 — Great news *2026-06-14, version 50.13.0* Glad to have this app to keep up with local news. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
