Landscape
Just make the app to landscape on iPads!!!!
Nice app, fix ad countdown timer
Nice app. The only issue is the ad countdown timer is slower than the video so once the ad is over there is an additional 10-15 seconds before the news story begins playing.
Not best source for “news”
The app is decent and they usually cover bigger stories in Chatt. However, there is definitely some bias (not horrible) in many stories, which is not what I want in my news sources. It is Sinclair so they also post Nation News Desk stories which are just poorly written drama news articles. I don’t recommend if you’re looking for an unbiased news source.
Minor Annoyance
I downloaded this app to watch the news live, because I don't have cable. I have two minor complaints thus far. The first complaint is the app opens up on my IPad vertically. Maybe I'm just weird, but I've always used my tablet horizontally. It'd be nice if the app would automatically turn horizontally to my preference like my other apps. When I watch the news live it will turn horizontally, but only after I rotate my tablet. Second complaint is I never thought I'd say this, but please diversify your ads. I'm tired of seeing Comet TV over and over, lol.
Best news app ever
This is a amazing news app it is the best one ever
Ads keep sending me to App Store
I deleted the app because if I read an article it keeps sending me to the App Store to the whiteout survival download page. It happens usually 4-5 times each time I’m reading an article.
Has Potential
The News Channel 9 app has potential and the news covered can be informative. One problem with the app is that I believe the touch target for the Back Arrow is too small and difficult to hit. It can take several attempts to return to the main page from a story. As far as the content goes, it would be worth while to have an editor with an eye for proper grammar and word usage.
Cool it with the notifications
Not a knock on the app functionality, but more on the content itself. I want news notifications related to relevant breaking news, not notifications that an article was published. In the past week I've gotten between 3 and 7 notifications per day of "news" but very little was actually notification-worthy news. Please use better judgement.

Pushing an agenda and articles won’t open
This news channel pushes a liberal agenda especially on social media. I’ll no longer follow this station mostly because of that. Also, notifications come throughout the day, however they open in the app and the story rarely loads. Waste of time.
Links not working
I get the push news alerts but when I click on it to read the article it’s not pulling up that article. Then I cannot find it. Please fix the links to make them work from the push news alerts to clicking on the article. Thanks
The worst update ever!
This new release is the worst. It is not user friendly and not as easy to navigate through top local stories as the previous version. When I have a minute to check out the latest local news, I want to skim through the headlines in a quick manner, not have to work through a list style view that provides little to no real information about the story. Reading is a good thing, everything does not have to be in audio or video format. I Downloaded WRCB app and will now get my local news from them.
Great app.
App is great. Love the video that comes with reports.
Clearfield
None of your articles we open. Site is frozen with only 6 articles shown. None which will open.
No sound
After installing the app update I noticed the sound while playing news videos etc stopped working. No matter what I did it did not resolve the problem... checking settings, updates, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, etc. The other news apps I have on my iPad when I play their videos I can hear sound and adjust the volume.
App issues?
App constantly crashes within seconds on my iDevice now even after re-installs. Still watch NC9, but the app is a no-go for me at the moment. On edit: Seems to be working a little better...maybe had just been a server issue? But live newscasts viewing not working for me.
Skip
Locks up every time I use it.
No Sound!
Why is there no sound?! I thought it was just me, but others have complained about this as well.
Commercials
Cut back on the commercials please. Tired of accidentally touching ads and having them open in my browser!
App closes out every time
The app was working perfect until this past Monday 2/20/17. Now every time I try to open it, it freezes and then restarts my iPad. I loved the app until this happened. What is going on? I've uninstalled and reinstalled and it's only the iPad that is affected.
Useless
Icon only takes you to info on how to use the app. No way to go anywhere else. Deleting it - I'll get my news elsewhere.
Confused
The notifications don't take you to the story. What's the point. Plus, it would be nice to have a section with local news.
