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.

Have questions or feedback on the 9NEWS app? Email contact@9news.com.au to let us know.

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 range of news çoverage and articles but regularly freezes and/or won't open particular news articles. Plus outdated articles and proof reading doesn't seem high on the critical list for this app. No issues with any other news apps access (Google news, MSN, Sky) on an Android - just this one app.

Very, very ordinary news app. Minimal up to date news, insulting gambling adds. Rather trashy and not a great option to ninemsn which was constantly interrupted with useless tiktok adds. You're lightning casino trash should be banned. Will try seven news, couldn't be much worse ???

This app is so much better than the website which is so smothered in ads you can't even scroll down the page.
