Denver News from 9News for Negative User Reviews
✓ Good news station but app is still a work in progressI like 9news as I feel they do a good job covering a wide variety of local news stories that are generally well-written. However, the app is often difficult to use as they work to figure out how to embed advertisements. In many of the recent versions, it has become increasingly difficult to actually read the news stories because all that opens when the headlines are selected are ads. I've thought about deleting the app many times because of the ridiculous methods used to deliver ads..Version: 4.27.840034954
✓ Denver newsThis app is more the Denver Bronco app and not the Denver news. It also is not as user friendly as it used to be. You have to search more to try to find the area you are looking for. Some areas slow to update like Rockies, Avs, and Nuggets. Please go back to a more clearer format. It also is not updating the high school sports information. I know football season started because of the stories but scoreboard and standings have absolutely no information. In regards to the news, why is national news stories showing in local news section?.Version: 4.26.070031947
✓ Missing Important ContentApp freezes up regularly and then has to be closed and restarted. Also, I prefer to read my news rather than watching the live stream, but lately trying to use the ‘Top Stories’ section is a waste of time, because many times it doesn’t even contain the top stories that are on TV, even huge national stories! Iran shot down a US drone and now there are threats of war. Seems like quite a big deal to me! Funny how I wouldn’t know that at all by reading the top stories on the app. There hasn’t been one word about it all week..Version: 4.32.870042990
✓ Biased, nearly tabloid journalismTrump admin does something very well, the story is buried or not even reported on. Trump has something negative happen, even trivial issues, it is front page and the headline makes the issue appear 10x worse than it is. Sad case what journalism has become the past several years, nothing more than a propaganda wing for the DNC. Journalism is dead due to this type of biased reporting. I’ve had to use Breitbart, Drudge, Twitter, Daily Caller, etc. to get accurate reporting. Sad the legacy media is hell bent on destroying itself..Version: 4.28.190036671
✓ I agree with “Hit and Miss”In addition to 9newsie’s comments, while trying to listen to the live streaming to get weather and the latest news, the app will just completely close out. I think every time News is updated in the app, this causes the app to close. Very frustrating! Then by the time the app starts again and having to listen to another 30 sec commercial, the weather forecast has long past. The weather in the app does not always match the live streaming (first thing in the morning). I actually liked the previous app style 2-3 years ago. Live streaming was a banner at the top and each category was easy to locate. Didn’t shift around. During football season, is it necessary to put the Broncos logo (as the headline) not only on the Sports section, but Local and National? I’m a Broncos fan, but really?.Version: 4.26.070031947
✓ Stop being politicalBack when I was younger and watching nine news you guys were really good about giving facts and not being opinionated politically you are too politically inclined to the liberal side of things why can’t the news media report facts and stop pulling out two or three words and making it sound like it’s the most horrific thing that ever happened to anybody I have voted both ways In elections because I thought I would vote for the best person what I don’t understand now is why in the world can’t the Liberals except this country chose President Trump and start giving him credit for all the things he has accomplished this garbage that’s reported makes me and I would have to say over 60% of the country angry that the news media cannot report honest News the facts FOXNews seems to be the only station that honestly gives both sides CNN is a trash station 4,7 and nine terrible you just can’t seem to have a newscast any day of the week without downing the president!!!!!.Version: 4.27.840034954
✓ Why did you ruin app?This app used to run so much better. It was great being able to watch the news whenever. You could fast forward and rewind easily. Now you cannot fast forward thru the non-commercials. Why take away commercials and leave a blank blue screen for minutes! I would rather watch commercials than just a blank screen. If you aren’t showing commercials anyway why can we not fast forward thru it? So frustrating..Version: 44.0.52
✓ Content is fine; app is buggyI like this news app and the way the info is presented. There are egregious spelling, grammar, and syntax issues that pop up now and again. But in general, it serves the purpose of providing pretty frequently updated local news. The app is quite buggy, however, and has been for years. The latest quirk is that the app will jump straight to the App Store for some garbage app for you to buy even when your fingers are nowhere near the screen. It’s clearly a glitch, so hopefully they notice it and address it quickly. It really makes the app unusable sometimes..Version: 4.27.840033433
✓ Still crashes and outdated 9NEWS features in place of commercialsWe don’t have cable upstairs and I watch the news on my phone in the mornings as I get ready. It is so frustrating to have the app crash all the time. But what’s more annoying, instead of just running the normal commercials on their live feed, they’ve filled in with 9NEWS special feature stories. They’ve never been updated. Frankly most of them I can recite verbatim. OR! There’s the “soooo, you’re here about your mortgage... messy stuff. We’re mortgage rescue company, we can help you keep your house. All we ask for in return is your agreement for galactic domination. <insert maniacal laughter here>SIGN. Have you met my henchman, Radu...? Seriously, I’d rather watch current commercials than the same content in your breaks! Awful!.Version: 4.28.190036671
✓ Receiving unwanted notificationsI downloaded this app to receive notifications about the weather so I am more aware of snow days. I just enabled notifications for the weather, nothing else. I enabled notifications for no other topics besides the weather. This morning I received a notification from this app about a news story that a child was beaten to death. That doesn’t sound like a weather report!!! Please fix your notifications settings. I do not want to get notifications on deeply disturbing stories, I just wanna know when it is a snow day. Other than that, the app and the UI is great. Thank you..Version: 44.3
✓ New app maybe delete timeLove 9 News for weather and news. The new app I was forced to get is not user friendly. I can’t figure out what is the latest news and what is just a random article they want me to read. I am not interested in sports but would love more world news. Their weather was not changed to much but liked when I could read what to expect for week and day. Not interested in watching or listening to any of this. I know this feature slows down the app by having to load video. The old app I could chose to read or listen. Hope they figure it out as there r other apps I can go to for weather and news..Version: 6.1.34
✓ For the love of god, please stop showing the same ad 4-5 times in a rowI like 9news and use the app on my Roku tv. I’ll turn it on when I get up, leave it on while I get ready, and turn it off before I leave at 9am. I don’t mind hearing the same stories but it’s the ads that drive me insane because they play the same exact ad 3 times in a row, then a 4th time, and if you’re really lucky a 5th.. because who doesn’t love hearing the same jardiance commercial so many times that life has now become meaningless? I can’t use the app anymore because I feel like it’s making me insane and like no one actually pays attention to/or cares that the same ad plays sooo many times..Version: 44.3
✓ RatingI like to watch the show. Usually informative and the ladies are easy on the eyes. However, I would like to see more coverage of the entire state and not just Denver! Remember, a majority of your viewership only gets the Denver channels for their local news. ABC, CBS and NBC is all Denver stations that are our only choices. I flip back and forth to try and get the station that comes closest to giving us our local weather. Would like to see more time spent on each part of the state and not just a 50 mile radius of the metro area. Seems like we don’t exist down here in the southern and southwest part of the state. How about an “ eye on South Fork” instead of Loveland ski area? Just saying..Version: 4.29.630037725
✓ The realI took you app off my phone for several months and got back on recently. I realize I don’ t miss it. Be mutual of your political views. I am tired of you trying to put your views in our minds. Report the news, stop sensationalizing it. I don’t want inflated views. I want real news with no opinion. Secondly. Report the news! So much is not told about what goes on in Denver. You don’t report the violence in our city because you are in the pocket or indebted to the governor and mayor. The Mayor is a a prime candidate for removal of office. He sexually harassed someone and nothing is being covered about that. Are we going to let that die? Shame on you! Get the facts before you report and don’t think e don’t notice you only say things to get viewership. I miss Adele. Unless 9 news changes they won’t be watched or read by me!.Version: 4.31.080040828
✓ Disappointed9 News is still my favorite news channel but it has changed a great deal. I like truth… not the news it is now. Also I loved the old weather app, “9news Weather”. It was more accurate than the Apple weather app for the Denver and the metro area and so easy to use. The news these days gives me great anxiety so I just don’t watch it as much. It was great to just see the weather. Ed Sardella and Mike Landis are still my favorite anchors, and Kathy Sabine will always be my favorite meteorologist..Version: 45.20.1
✓ FrustratingI’ve watched 9News since the days when there were anchor reporters like Carl Akers. They were true journalists who reported facts and data, not feelings and propaganda; when there was a distinct line between reporting and editorializing. We stopped watching TV almost ten years ago. Our news comes from sources we trust to be the least biased and who report discovered, fully substantiated facts, not opinion or here say. I use the 9News App. for two reasons; consistent and well researched weather reporting and local high school / college sports reports. In my opinion, the rest of the reporting is, for the most part, laundered, sanitized, propagandized verbage and rhetoric that appeals to the emotions. There is little or no basis on fact, logic and research that is unbiased and well documented. There is a real problem with the live feed. It shuts down for no apparent reason, sometimes right in the middle of a report. Finally, how many times do you think I really want to hear or watch canned fillers about some jack wagon who decided to travel the US to play miniature golf. Or, listen to the tedious, emotional story of two cancer survivors second wedding? And I am truly fed up with the overblown, politically whitewashed coverage of a pro football team whose players rank third in the number of arrests within the NFL? Why is that fact not reported?.Version: 4.26.070031947
✓ Clunky, overloaded with distracting adsCan I read it? Sure. But only maybe one or two sentences per screen scroll because everywhere possible has been loaded with blinking, flashing ads. Frankly it’s a smorgasbord of annoying ad examples. As a person with autism I’m quite sick of this; I can’t even get through a sentence without being distracted, and even using the app for a few minutes leaves me feeling frustrated and overstimulated. And it’s obnoxious when the article can’t even load because of all the ads, which is often. Honestly I don’t know how this app got 4.7 stars, these must be political reviews or something because the app is clunky, frustrating, and 60% ads. I also find the content to be sometimes fluffy, but I suppose that’s to be expected with local news..Version: 43.5.19
✓ Used to be a great app until this update...Did anyone actually look at the update on an actual phone before pushing this out? It isn’t very pleasing to look at anymore. Looks like something some high school kids threw together. You have to scroll through a 100 nonsense human interest stories and ads to actually get to the story you want. Then half of it doesn’t appear on the screen correctly or is covered up by more ads. The weather radar doesn’t load most of the time or you can’t actually see it because it scrolls too fast. I have better things to do with my time than to use this app anymore. Switch it back please..Version: 6.1.37
✓ It’s okay, but...I enjoy having the app, because I’m not always able to catch the news outside of it. However, the app crashes often, and for no apparent reason. On top of that, there are annoying errors in stories posted that could have been fixed with a little proofreading. It’s unprofessional and I tend to deduct credibility points, when for example, I’m reading an article and entire paragraphs are copied and pasted within the same article. Or there are several errors within a single story like incomplete sentences, grammatical mistakes, etc. Its sloppy work..Version: 4.27.840034954
✓ Advertising dollars trump usabilityI get it, it costs money to run a news organization and without a subscription model that means ad dollars. However, it’s incredibly frustrating to be notified of live video and then MISSING (potentially important) content because a 15 or 30 second rolls before the video starts. There are far better ways to monetize live streams such as lower third ads on the video or even putting the video in frame with ads surrounding. Additionally on text content, often full page, intrusive ads display over content and half the time they are not closable because the X is buried off screen. More thought about ad placement and QA testing will go a long way in future releases!.Version: 42.2.11
✓ Not functionalUPDATE: Since the latest update, this app is forcing the App Store to pop up to download games. This is completely unacceptable for a NEWS APP. If I wanted to look into the ads in the app, I would follow them, but how dare you force an ad to pop up 8 times, over and over again. I am deleting this app after being a user for more than 5 years. This app used to be great, but for at least 6 months now you can't watch video. You can watch the ad, but after that it's a black screen that requires you to restart the app. Most articles appear for two to three days while other news passes you by. Do not recommend..Version: 4.26.070031947
✓ Hit and missI love 9News and I love being able to stream their news live. Problem is, this version of the app will just completely shutdown. Quite often. They also get a red checkmark for the graphic icons such as weather, sports, live news because they are rarely in the same place from day to day. And finally, they lose points for the 9News shorts, PSAs, and promos they play in between segments. While this is a really great idea, an even better idea would be to update the content. Some of the stories and PSAs have been playing for years. Yes, years. They produce so much great content, one would think they would update their app stream one in a while. They are good about changing out station promos. If thy would fix the technical glitches that shut the app down cold, be consistent on graphic placement and update filler content more often, this would be a five star app..Version: 4.26.070031947
✓ 9News is dead to meSimply put, I used to love 9News; thanks to this app, that no longer holds true. With that being said, the two primary issues are as follows: 1) I now get notifications hourly, even after shutting off most of the alerts in the “notification preferences” section . In particular, the weather component will often send 3 alerts before I even wake up; all of which is frequently over an inch of snow or a mild temperature. 2) They have deeply dampened their appearance of being a dignified and trustworthy reporting agency due to a significant lack of proofreading. In fact, I have begun capturing the articles that I read and comparing which of them have been proofread. Currently, 11 of the 12 articles that I have read in recent days have substantial typos that make it clear they only use “spellcheck.” All said, I sincerely hope they clean up the slop and stop sending dozens of notifications over literally nothing..Version: 4.32.870042990
✓ HATE the new app- all looks, little substance.I hate the new app. If you’re just three or four minutes late logging on to watch live stream, you can’t watch it at all— it doesn’t show up. Worse yet, you can’t even locate live stream on the website when you’re late. At that point, my only option is to watch on a cable box, and I don’t generally have access to one, so my only option is to watch another network. Another big problem: I always used to check the weather on the app several times a day, especially in the winter, because I commute over an hour each way and I found that your weather forecasting was most accurate as to what conditions I was heading into. I frequently travel from Centennial to Fort Collins and out east to the Hudson/Keenesburg area and conditions vary wildly in an area that large. The redesign eliminated the most helpful info— precipitation graphs. Also, I drive through eight to ten big cities very regularly so why on earth am I limited to only five now? And what is the point in forcing me to “edit” and change priority cities to see the weather in different areas? How can you say that the weather forecast is where ever you are if I am in way more than five cities? Bottom line: while the graphics on the new app are a big improvement, it was rolled out WAY too soon. It is mostly looks with very little substance, and I am going to have to find another network to watch most of the time until this app becomes more useable..Version: 6.1.37
✓ Used to be goodThey’ve recently updated to 9 News+ and it’s such a dismal experience. The app is super glitchy and very difficult to navigate with Apple TV. Finding stories you want to see is extremely difficult and frustrating. Want to watch “Next”…good luck finding it. I saw it once 2 weeks ago. It’s been AWOL other times. They also seem to be pushing generic talk show type garbage that’s not even local. Bring back the old app please. Otherwise I’ll just give up on you entirely. I’ll miss getting local news and in depth reporting from Marshall and Kyle. However it’s not worth the frustration..Version: 45.1
✓ App Crashes ConstantlyI’ve tried using the 9NEWS app in the mornings for the last 6 weeks and it crashes multiple times when I use it. Doesn’t matter where I am, I have a newer phone and the latest app update but it shuts down after about 8-10 minutes. It also seems like the ads are excessive when you first open the app, 4 minutes of ads this morning and they are much louder than the anchors, I have to mess with the volume too much. Not impressed with this app, wish it was more intuitive and not so junked up on the home page..Version: 45.20.1
