Denver News from 9News Reviews

by Slb530

I hate the new app. If you’re just three or four minutes late logging on to watch live stream, you can’t watch it at all— it doesn’t show up. Worse yet, you can’t even locate live stream on the website when you’re late. At that point, my only option is to watch on a cable box, and I don’t generally have access to one, so my only option is to watch another network.

Another big problem: I always used to check the weather on DenverNewsfrom9News several times a day, especially in the winter, because I commute over an hour each way and I found that your weather forecasting was most accurate as to what conditions I was heading into. I frequently travel from Centennial to Fort Collins and out east to the Hudson/Keenesburg area and conditions vary wildly in an area that large. The redesign eliminated the most helpful info— precipitation graphs. Also, I drive through eight to ten big cities very regularly so why on earth am I limited to only five now? And what is the point in forcing me to “edit” and change priority cities to see the weather in different areas? How can you say that the weather forecast is where ever you are if I am in way more than five cities?

Bottom line: while the graphics on the new app are a big improvement, it was rolled out WAY too soon. It is mostly looks with very little substance, and I am going to have to find another network to watch most of the time until DenverNewsfrom9News becomes more useable.

Back when I was younger and watching nine news you guys were really good about giving facts and not being opinionated politically you are too politically inclined to the liberal side of things why can’t the news media report facts and stop pulling out two or three words and making it sound like it’s the most horrific thing that ever happened to anybody I have voted both ways In elections because I thought I would vote for the best person what I don’t understand now is why in the world can’t the Liberals except this country chose President Trump and start giving him credit for all the things he has accomplished this garbage that’s reported makes me and I would have to say over 60% of the country angry that the news media cannot report honest News the facts FOXNews seems to be the only station that honestly gives both sides CNN is a trash station 4,7 and nine terrible you just can’t seem to have a newscast any day of the week without downing the president!!!!!

I took you app off my phone for several months and got back on recently. I realize I don’ t miss it. Be mutual of your political views. I am tired of you trying to put your views in our minds. Report the news, stop sensationalizing it. I don’t want inflated views. I want real news with no opinion. Secondly. Report the news! So much is not told about what goes on in Denver. You don’t report the violence in our city because you are in the pocket or indebted to the governor and mayor. The Mayor is a a prime candidate for removal of office. He sexually harassed someone and nothing is being covered about that. Are we going to let that die? Shame on you!
Get the facts before you report and don’t think e don’t notice you only say things to get viewership.
I miss Adele. Unless 9 news changes they won’t be watched or read by me!

Love 9 News for weather and news. The new app I was forced to get is not user friendly. I can’t figure out what is the latest news and what is just a random article they want me to read. I am not interested in sports but would love more world news. Their weather was not changed to much but liked when I could read what to expect for week and day. Not interested in watching or listening to any of this. I know this feature slows down DenverNewsfrom9News by having to load video. The old app I could chose to read or listen. Hope they figure it out as there r other apps I can go to for weather and news.

I love 9News and I love being able to stream their news live. Problem is, this version of DenverNewsfrom9News will just completely shutdown. Quite often. They also get a red checkmark for the graphic icons such as weather, sports, live news because they are rarely in the same place from day to day. And finally, they lose points for the 9News shorts, PSAs, and promos they play in between segments. While this is a really great idea, an even better idea would be to update the content. Some of the stories and PSAs have been playing for years. Yes, years. They produce so much great content, one would think they would update their app stream one in a while. They are good about changing out station promos. If thy would fix the technical glitches that shut DenverNewsfrom9News down cold, be consistent on graphic placement and update filler content more often, this would be a five star app.

Can I read it? Sure. But only maybe one or two sentences per screen scroll because everywhere possible has been loaded with blinking, flashing ads. Frankly it’s a smorgasbord of annoying ad examples. As a person with autism I’m quite sick of this; I can’t even get through a sentence without being distracted, and even using DenverNewsfrom9News for a few minutes leaves me feeling frustrated and overstimulated. And it’s obnoxious when the article can’t even load because of all the ads, which is often. Honestly I don’t know how DenverNewsfrom9News got 4.7 stars, these must be political reviews or something because DenverNewsfrom9News is clunky, frustrating, and 60% ads. I also find the content to be sometimes fluffy, but I suppose that’s to be expected with local news.

In addition to 9newsie’s comments, while trying to listen to the live streaming to get weather and the latest news, DenverNewsfrom9News will just completely close out. I think every time News is updated in DenverNewsfrom9News , this causes DenverNewsfrom9News to close. Very frustrating! Then by the time DenverNewsfrom9News starts again and having to listen to another 30 sec commercial, the weather forecast has long past. The weather in DenverNewsfrom9News does not always match the live streaming (first thing in the morning).
I actually liked the previous app style 2-3 years ago. Live streaming was a banner at the top and each category was easy to locate. Didn’t shift around.
During football season, is it necessary to put the Broncos logo (as the headline) not only on the Sports section, but Local and National? I’m a Broncos fan, but really?

We don’t have cable upstairs and I watch the news on my phone in the mornings as I get ready. It is so frustrating to have DenverNewsfrom9News crash all the time. But what’s more annoying, instead of just running the normal commercials on their live feed, they’ve filled in with 9NEWS special feature stories. They’ve never been updated. Frankly most of them I can recite verbatim. OR! There’s the “soooo, you’re here about your mortgage... messy stuff. We’re mortgage rescue company, we can help you keep your house. All we ask for in return is your agreement for galactic domination. SIGN. Have you met my henchman, Radu...?
Seriously, I’d rather watch current commercials than the same content in your breaks! Awful!

by Juballharshaw

I get it, it costs money to run a news organization and without a subscription model that means ad dollars. However, it’s incredibly frustrating to be notified of live video and then MISSING (potentially important) content because a 15 or 30 second rolls before the video starts. There are far better ways to monetize live streams such as lower third ads on the video or even putting the video in frame with ads surrounding. Additionally on text content, often full page, intrusive ads display over content and half the time they are not closable because the X is buried off screen.

More thought about ad placement and QA testing will go a long way in future releases!

I like to watch the show. Usually informative and the ladies are easy on the eyes. However, I would like to see more coverage of the entire state and not just Denver! Remember, a majority of your viewership only gets the Denver channels for their local news. ABC, CBS and NBC is all Denver stations that are our only choices. I flip back and forth to try and get the station that comes closest to giving us our local weather. Would like to see more time spent on each part of the state and not just a 50 mile radius of the metro area. Seems like we don’t exist down here in the southern and southwest part of the state. How about an “ eye on South Fork” instead of Loveland ski area? Just saying.

I enjoy having DenverNewsfrom9News , because I’m not always able to catch the news outside of it. However, DenverNewsfrom9News crashes often, and for no apparent reason. On top of that, there are annoying errors in stories posted that could have been fixed with a little proofreading. It’s unprofessional and I tend to deduct credibility points, when for example, I’m reading an article and entire paragraphs are copied and pasted within the same article. Or there are several errors within a single story like incomplete sentences, grammatical mistakes, etc. Its sloppy work.

by Crawlers

I like 9news as I feel they do a good job covering a wide variety of local news stories that are generally well-written. However, DenverNewsfrom9News is often difficult to use as they work to figure out how to embed advertisements. In many of the recent versions, it has become increasingly difficult to actually read the news stories because all that opens when the headlines are selected are ads. I've thought about deleting DenverNewsfrom9News many times because of the ridiculous methods used to deliver ads.

I’ve watched 9News since the days when there were anchor reporters like Carl Akers. They were true journalists who reported facts and data, not feelings and propaganda; when there was a distinct line between reporting and editorializing.

We stopped watching TV almost ten years ago. Our news comes from sources we trust to be the least biased and who report discovered, fully substantiated facts, not opinion or here say.

I use the 9News App. for two reasons; consistent and well researched weather reporting and local high school / college sports reports. In my opinion, the rest of the reporting is, for the most part, laundered, sanitized, propagandized verbage and rhetoric that appeals to the emotions. There is little or no basis on fact, logic and research that is unbiased and well documented.

There is a real problem with the live feed. It shuts down for no apparent reason, sometimes right in the middle of a report.

Finally, how many times do you think I really want to hear or watch canned fillers about some jack wagon who decided to travel the US to play miniature golf. Or, listen to the tedious, emotional story of two cancer survivors second wedding?

And I am truly fed up with the overblown, politically whitewashed coverage of a pro football team whose players rank third in the number of arrests within the NFL? Why is that fact not reported?

I like this news app and the way the info is presented. There are egregious spelling, grammar, and syntax issues that pop up now and again. But in general, it serves the purpose of providing pretty frequently updated local news.
DenverNewsfrom9News is quite buggy, however, and has been for years. The latest quirk is that DenverNewsfrom9News will jump straight to DenverNewsfrom9News Store for some garbage app for you to buy even when your fingers are nowhere near the screen. It’s clearly a glitch, so hopefully they notice it and address it quickly. It really makes DenverNewsfrom9News unusable sometimes.

by MotherDavis

I like 9NEWS over others because there is a level of professionalism the other news channels don’t seem to have. They always look like they are dressing for a formal dinner party, and conduct themselves with professionalism and diplomacy even during simple banter between stories. I have yet to see that anywhere else either here in Colorado or abroad. Our other local networks only wish they can achieve that, so all that is left at the end of their day is to brag about the stories they cover. 9NEWS’ achievements needs no bragging rights. They simply speak for themselves.

by KRASOV22

I agree that I love being able to watch 9news where ever I am either in my house or around the world but DenverNewsfrom9News is pretty buggy and shuts down A LOT. I would also like it if they changed the ads and the stories that repeat more often. The ad about the loan help is the MOST annoying thing I have ever seen. I enjoy the Story Tellers segments but DenverNewsfrom9News always has the same ones. Please update them! I’m sure some of kids in them have grown up and have children of there own by now. 9News does them every week. Change them up. Thanks

9 News is the only channel we watch. We depend on them to provide current, non-partisan, and truthful news of the day, as well as entertainment and items to brighten and lighten our days. We love the people on there, and consider them our friends on the air. We sure hope the company can find a way to keep Marty, the weatherman in the morning. We also love Next with Kyle Clark! 9 is the 1 !!!!!

I have been watching 9NEWS for over 40 years since I arrived in Colorado in 1973. They have consistently provided fair and accurate and, more important, honest repotting. Their focus has always been on important issues and, even though I might not always agree, their reports have been honest. Their weather forecasters are more spot on than most and even though I’m not a sports enthusiast, I find those reports informative as well. Keep it up 9NEWS andiwill remains loyal watcher.

I absolutely love my 9 news family and can’t imagine not starting my day with them but watching on DenverNewsfrom9News on my iPad has been frustrating. For close to two years the same ads, commercials, and news shorts have been playing in between the daily news. I have almost stopped watching because I just can’t listen to them one more time. I have emailed feedback about this several times but have never received a response.

by Jenny-good

Enjoy the personalities of the morning team! Gary holds it down, Cory adds the voice of the working Mom with style, Natalie adds the young voice with the depth of her own experience and Marty with his local references for the weather makes me feel like I can refer to my state with knowledge. Now during the Quarantine their interactions with each other and ease is reassuring. Also like the evening news with Kim and Tom and Kyle Clark makes me think and reflect.

by Momandlucy

9 News is the only news I watch. I believe them to be true, honest, unbiased and they take responsibility if they’re not correct in reporting. The news is what it’s always been, “the news”. Even if it does get a little overblown at times. But, that’s why they offer “Next” with Kyle Clark!!! Love that show!! Love the reporters that fill in, and I don’t mind at all what Kyle’s jackets look like. It’s true that the live feed most often disappears into thin air. That is frustrating. Overall.... Great job everyone!!!

I have watched channel 9 news for many years. It is part of my everyday life. I have laughed and I have cried. It is where I go when I need to know what is happening and how it will effect my day, my drive and what I am going to wear. The anchors are part of my family. Channel 9 news always seems to find the greatest anchors. I miss them when they move on and I wait for who will come to replace them. Great job 9 news. Kathy W.
