1. [R3] Denver News from 9News 3/5 · US Weather tab never works: That’s it. It doesn’t work. Just a blank screen every time I try to use it.
2. [R19] Denver News from 9News 1/5 · US Weather doesn’t load: I’ve always trusted 9 News for accurate weather. With the new update it takes multiple times to load. It doesn’t even know my location. Bring back the old weather view. It was so much better. Needless to say, I’ve gone elsewhere for weather and news
3. [R25] Denver News from 9News 1/5 · US Was great but doesnt work now: I cannot get weather to load anymore, multiple refreshes and it won’t load. This update has made the app run awful.
4. [R71] NewsWest 9 5/5 · US Review: Newswest time always does it’s best to stay on top of everything that goes on in West Texas, especially in Midland/Odessa. It’s easy to send a text directly to the newsroom to report something that you may not know about. You all always text back, “thanks for letting us know “.
5. [R1] Denver News from 9News 1/5 · US I hate the new format: 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.
6. [R9] Denver News from 9News 3/5 · US Can’t Search in Newest Version: Either you can no longer search for news or it’s impossible to find. I love 9News and I thought the app got a major upgrade but it just isn’t functional, still.
7. [R41] Denver News from 9News 1/5 · US What happened?!?!: This used to be my primary app for catching up on the news. The latest update is horrible. Important news is buried and extremely hard to find. But if I want to know about the latest sports or restaurant/retail store openings, they are front and center. And for some reason there will be a couple versions of the same headline in a row. There is almost no national or international
8. [R66] NewsWest 9 3/5 · US Terrible!: I’m very disappointed in this app. I loved the old News West 9 Storm Tracker app. It was my go to weather app. This new thing is a joke.
9. [R6] Denver News from 9News 3/5 · US New version review: So far not a fan. I mainly use it for weather and that seems to be hit or miss, as in loading. Sometimes you open the app select weather and you get a blank page. Close app down all the way try again and it populates. Ended up switch to apples weather app and just uninstalled 9News, will try again in a few months to see if they can get the bugs removed.
10. [R15] Denver News from 9News 3/5 · US Update bugs: Takes forever to open and when it does it won’t load consistently Please fix the issue
11. [R47] Denver News from 9News 1/5 · US New app fails to load: The old app was great. The new app… takes forever to load or doesn’t load at all. If I click on a notification, I’ll typically get a blank screen or it’ll freeze on the loading screen. It’s like the app is trying to authenticate the user and then fails. Please fix
12. [R63] NewsWest 9 3/5 · US What happened to it??: Worked great at first, radar worked and seemed pretty accurate and got life saving alerts, now it’s so slow and I’m not getting warnings alerts or notifications.
13. [R4] Denver News from 9News 1/5 · US Notification settings don’t exist: 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
14. [R49] Denver News from 9News 1/5 · US Horrible changes to app: I don’t know why 9 News can’t manage to have a user friendly app or website. It’s been awful for years and somehow they’ve managed to make it worse. Can’t get the app to even open half the time. Layout and access to stories is illogical. Weather section is all videos and no actual written reports. When I get a news notice I NEVER have been able to click and open it in the
15. [R61] NewsWest 9 1/5 · US To many adds: This app is informative if you feel like watching watching adds anytime you click on something.
16. [R10] Denver News from 9News 1/5 · US New app needs a lot of work 5/6/26: 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??
17. [R55] Denver News from 9News 1/5 · US Worst update yet: This update is horrible! The app takes forever to load and actually open now because of all the flash nonsense. Then all you can do is endlessly scroll until you hopefully find what you’re looking for because THERE IS NO SEARCH FUNCTION. Horribly designed. Please make it go back to what it was before which was perfectly fine.
18. [R62] NewsWest 9 5/5 · US Always the FIRST: News center 7 claims to the first with the most and they have proven time and time again they are the LAST with the least - thanks NEWS WEST 9 keeping the Permian Basin informed when it matters most !!!!!
19. [R65] NewsWest 9 5/5 · US NewsWest 9: The best channel for News It’s my favorite channel
