I love 9news, but your app is terrible. I recently was asked to review the app when opening. I couldn't do so as I needed some third-party account I had never heard of. So I am posting it here. Your app takes too long to load. I don't need a prolonged splash screen trying to get news. It is infuriating getting asked to stream to a device on loading. I use this app on the go. Half the time notification doesn't lead to the correct story. Clumsy and weird UI design.

I like the alert feature, but when you click on the alert, the story is never loaded on the app. Video usually fails to play, and slideshows are inactive. Instead of content created for the app, this just reformats the web content, without any thought to app functionality. Sloppy work. So, the new update has the exact same problem. Touch the alert, go to some non related article. Way to go, you've learned nothing about how your app works. Good job!

Installed this just today, but will be uninstalling soon. Good news stories, but trying to scroll down to read it is difficult, to say the least. Either it freezes and nothing happens, or the story slides over to something else. Then it goes back to the beginning. Or, I'll get so far into a story, then I get taken back I go to the beginning. Too frustrating to mess with.
