3 star for simply for the fact the video doesn't play while on the phone. I would like to be on the phone with my wife while driving over the road for a living and listen to the news cast in the background such as YouTube and FB does. A true 5 star app if that can be fixed.

I have the news 9 app on my phone. And what's happening in bricktown is a shame. What are Congress and the lining situation?And they're stalling that they need more information.They're drawing crowds that go down there to enjoy bricktowm I haven't. Been down there in years for this very reason When I first moved home to Tulsa From Indianapolis Indiana, we went down to brick town.With some friends of ours that we've seen in year.It was very nice that was 18 years ago.Now you would not catch me d

It's ok most of the time I don't see stories until days after it says it's been posted. Or the feed it the same 3 stories the whole way down and the sound it plays everytime I open the app not fond of.

I've had this app installed in my android phone for a couple years now with no problem at all. And when they updated it Aug 20, 24, now it won't even open. It just crashes. I tried uninstalling it & reinstalling the app & it still doesn't work. Really disappointing. News9 is my favorite local news network. I guess I'm gonna have to start using KOCO channel 5 as my go-to for all my local news & weather info. Maybe I will try again in the future to see if they fixed the problem.

Complete garbage app . Shows commercials during emergencies. Time frame is always lagging. Consistent failure to load . App laggs, freezes , locked up or shuts down. April 19th I had 3 minutes to get to shelter because David Payne wouldn't shut and listen to his chasers . Someone is going to die because of this app

I downloaded the app last night before the storms because I trusy news 9. My phone was charged and I was ready for the storms. My power went out, so glad my phone started out charged! This app really drained my battery!!! I have had the same issue before, that and the fact that there are way too many ads is why I uninstalled before. It is sad but I am uninstalling the app again for the same reasons as above. I have tried turning off all notifications but this is not an easy thing to do. I still

Terrible. Constant push notifications lead to nothing related to the title. Everytime I launch the app I'm greeted by a casino ad. If you want local news look somewhere else. The app has really gone downhill over the last year.

Ok. Got this for weather alerts, tornados, and such. The ability to watch live, from my phone... well and good. I dont like to watch the news alerts, because i mind data, etc.... but the links work... however, none of the headline, breaking news, article type links work. I just get the home page, and can never find the story the alert was telling me about. Its highly frustrating. Dont put out an alert, without a landing page for it.

Everytime I try to click on a notification about traffic or really anything it gives me an ad video and then sends me to something that's completely unrelated. To make it worse the News homepage once you actually open the app only has a few stories and won't load anymore. I prefer to get my news from News 9 but you have the worst app out there.

Read the other bad reviews. The notifications dont always take you to the proper story and also I can't read the whole notification. The old version was much better. When it sends the notification, there's only like 4 words of the title. I tried to search for the details on an active shooting and when I clicked on it, it didn't take me anywhere. I feel like it shouldn't be that hard to find details on such a huge story. This app DOES NOT KEEP YOU INFORMED!
