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.

Sick of Current Affair reruns pretending to be news. Don't like all the false news/infomercials stories they keep pushing at the bottom of real news stories. The many inline ads make scrolling through any story intolerable. So-called 'latest news' is repeated for days with multiple versions of the same story serving up contradiction, confusion and a waste of space. This ap does a poor job of reporting news.

I like how the 9News website presents the news šŸ‘. I really don't care for the news media on television due to the fact that topics don't go into as much detailšŸ“ŗ. When I read about news media websites discussing current events instead of watching television and videos I am better informedšŸ”Ž. And I am very careful about which news media organisations I get my news fromšŸ“°. Nothing from Robert Murdoch owned news media for starters, which in a lot of cases is more entertainment than newsšŸŽ­
