Go back to how you used to have it

### 1/5 — Would you like some news with your ads?

*2026-08-05, version 3.0.4*

14 ads in 1 article, some only separated by 2 sentences!!! Abysmal news app.

### 1/5 — Worst news app ever

*2026-08-01, version 3.0.4*

Terrible layout, so many ads and click bait.

### 1/5 — Nine news website

*2026-08-01, version 3.0.4*

The new layout is all over the place, hardly anything worth reading , a total failure !

### 1/5 — New app not so good

*2026-07-26, version 3.0.3*

Do not like the new app, the layout is bad, often fails to open, the whole app is disappointing, I use the 7 app now and keep away from the 9 app

### 1/5 — Slow and full of ads

*2026-07-20, version 3.0.3*

This used to be a really good app. After the last update it is slow to load and full of ads. Such a shame.

### 1/5 — Awful new format

*2026-07-14, version 3.0.3*

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!
