Read the other bad reviews. The notifications dont always take you to the proper story and also I can't read the whole notification. The old version was much better. When it sends the notification, there's only like 4 words of the title. I tried to search for the details on an active shooting and when I clicked on it, it didn't take me anywhere. I feel like it shouldn't be that hard to find details on such a huge story. This app DOES NOT KEEP YOU INFORMED!

Ok. Got this for weather alerts, tornados, and such. The ability to watch live, from my phone... well and good. I dont like to watch the news alerts, because i mind data, etc.... but the links work... however, none of the headline, breaking news, article type links work. I just get the home page, and can never find the story the alert was telling me about. Its highly frustrating. Dont put out an alert, without a landing page for it.

It is very annoying that when an alert is received that you can't read the full text. Especially when a storm timeline is sent by an alert you can only know what the first couple of cities are and when you click on the alert it just shows the radar. And as for breaking news alerts they are pointless if the story can't be found on the app when you click on the alert. Please fix this and I'll be glad to change my review.

I've had this app installed in my android phone for a couple years now with no problem at all. And when they updated it Aug 20, 24, now it won't even open. It just crashes. I tried uninstalling it & reinstalling the app & it still doesn't work. Really disappointing. News9 is my favorite local news network. I guess I'm gonna have to start using KOCO channel 5 as my go-to for all my local news & weather info. Maybe I will try again in the future to see if they fixed the problem.

Newest update seems to have made an easier format to deal with and the annoying ads dont seem to be obscuring the stories anymore which is a big improvement. Unfortunately the app is pushing notifications despite disabling that option and rebooting phone. My phone is being flooded with notifications! Probably going to have to delete this app if not fixed soon. Update: Emailed twice about notification several days apart but got no response. Had enough, deleting and going with KFOR.

This use to be a good app. We used the weather info and their ESP Radar regularly. something has changed in the past 30 days, because it won't load the ESP Radar, and random other things. their service stinks. We've messaged them 3 times to ask for feedback and help. we have gotten no response. it has been 3 weeks. We have began using a different news station's app.
