About this app

The updated 9NEWS app gives you access to all the latest breaking news from a trusted team of journalists, with custom alerts so you never miss anything. 9NEWS has been covering Australia and the world for more than 60 years so you know it's a source you can rely on.

You can swipe through all the news and videos in our completely re-designed app experience and subscribe to a variety of alerts, including Sport, Politics, World, Finance, Weather, Entertainment and Technology.

The app uses geo-targeting to alert you to 'News Near Me'. This feature sends an alert for breaking news within a few kilometres of your current location – just allow access to your location when prompted. This can be especially useful for alerts about traffic delays or accidents, fires, floods, and police operations.

We understand that too many alerts can be intrusive, so our team will only send ones we think you will find truly interesting. Our alerts are sent without an audible tone so you won't be disturbed at the wrong time.

The 9NEWS app also allows you to set your location by city or postcode so you see extra stories from your state and weather forecasts for exactly where you live.

If you feel you're getting too many alerts, or too few, you can easily change your subscriptions within the app on the Settings screen.

Please note: This app features Nielsen's proprietary measurement software which will allow you to contribute to market research or audience ratings services. Please see www.nielsen.com/digitalprivacy for more information.

Good app, takes a while for updated news too filter through, some off the stuff on there is old news, would be great if we had more news and sport based on our location (WA), I am amazed at all the poor ratings for a App that's Free, keep up the good work.

Still I can't believe how many intrusive adverts you have introduced! I have to watch a 12 second commercial before being able to watch a 20 second clip?! Customer service first, not profits from advertising, very poor!

Has worked well for years, but recently has started closing down every few minutes. I'll reinstall and try again. If it continues, I'll just delete it. There are many alternatives. Update: I reinstalled this app & it closed down within 3 minutes. Update - I've reinstalled the app several times - no improvement, and it's draining my battery. Next step is uninstall immediately after I finish this review.
