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.

What News?
Very dissatisfied with the “no” news now. What a mess!
Can’t access
Problems
Deleted It
This has football news and celebrity news first. It used to be organized a lot better and more concise, seeing headlines at a glance. Had it for years but after the new update I deleted it.
Rubbish new update
The new format is garbage. And then Karl is sacked. Shame as I will now be going elsewhere.
bad app update
they manage to make the app even worse than it was before. The update was so unessessary
App update v 3.0.1
Not loving the new update.
The previous version was much easier to scroll through relevant news items & more visually appealing. New version is bland & majority of stories are not so focused on local news.
Also when searching for the app on my phone it no longer shows up when searching the word “news”.

Update
It sucks
Only news are ads
Apparently there is nothing happening in Victoria apart from ads. Not one story loads on the Home Screen or the latest tab. I’ve deleted it.
Good bye 9 News
Now doesn’t work on my lowly iPhone 8 running on iOS 16.7.16. Farewell.
Only back to see if it was fixed
No local QLD news. This is horrific. The worst app upgrade I have yet to see. I can sit with the ads but not even being able to see local news or weather?? What the?
Terrible
I always used the 9 news app previously but absolutely hate this version! If I wanted to watch pages full of adverts I’d go to facebook. I was using the 9 news app for catching up on actual news. I don’t like the layout either, it has no flow. I was reading a news piece I thought was Australian only to realise it was from America half way through. I was hoping I could revert back to the old version but it seems not. I’ll stick to the ABC or The Guardian for my news instead now thank you very much :(

Why the change?
Not a fan of the update. Visually unappealing, clunky to use, and far, far too many pop-up ads. I really don’t see why the changes were made, the old version was better.
What did they do to it!
The old layout was the positive aspect of the app but the content was often full of grammatical errors and spelling errors.
The new app has nothing positive about it.
Sorry guys, you lost me.

No order No weather
What a disappointment - was my go to news app - not anymore. The adverts take up more room than the news. Even though I’ve set my preferences I can’t see the stories. No breaking news and NO WEATHER!!!! Please stop claiming Domain articles as NEWS articles - the rich buying mansions is not news.
Shocking
This has to be the worse upgrade I’ve seen. The world does not revolve around NSW. Ditch this and go back to the old app please.
Terrible update
Roll back previous version. New UI not user friendly and hard to navigate content, way too many adds, hard to read articles. Not worth using anymore.
Example: a short article, 11 large ads, every 3 short paragraphs, taking the full space of the paragraph block, repeating the same ad. Can’t scroll to read context without launching the irrelevant ad.
Then include embedded tile cards to other (unrelated) news stories as click throughs. There is more screen real estate dedicated to ads and other articles, then the content of the open story. Makes it unreadable
Edit: please review the overwhelming usability feedback across these ratings. These aren’t from people who ‘don’t like change’, it’s a clear reflection in lack of usability testing and no prioritisation of human design. I would question if the new design even meets accessibility standards? Trying to make it ‘modern’ has turned viewership away from the journalism you’re trying to get more people to connect with through the digital age
