Awful new format

This new format has more opinion than fact. News is all over the place. Go back to SA, Australia, world and for goodness sake, can we please have FACTS!

Not working bad local updates

Not working and yes the app is current. My state I’m in is poor for latest information. Need to find another website if this continues.

Nine News New App

I used to love this app. Every morning I would read through or watch the news clips and check the weather for the day. Since the update, I find it difficult to navigate, doesn’t contain content that is useful and there is no longer a weather setting for anywhere. I am deleting this app and will be looking for a better version from another channel. Deleting it now. Unusable for me now so it is just taking up space. I will update which is the better app for news content and weather forecast at a later date.
