1 star is way too much . Whats wrong with you pricks and your re runs like Curse of Oak Island . We just want to find out if they found the shit we dont need to watch it all again . Let alone the adds every 4min there's more ad time than show . Start using your brains in there . If you have nothing to watch shut the station down
Surprise surprise 60 minutes program on AI agism! WOW the mellenials are now being targeted with agism and blaming AI. This has been happening to baby boomers for decades. Karma is now hitting Mellenials and gee they don't like it! welcome to reality. I have NO sympathy for you lot. Society treats the elderly of our society with contempt and the… Read more
Labor government promotes it. Watch out. You Mellenials were doing this to baby boomers and now you are copping it. No sympathy!
Guys, your new Today Show line up simply doesn't work. The personalities don't gell, none of them has a comic ability when required, the news on the show is superficial at best and the sport reports are terrible. Regards Karl Farrugia.

Do not waste your time or energy with this app. If you want to watch ads then this is for you. The same 4 ads every 10mins. No skipping
Cannot even watch Today Extra episodes! Very annoying. Google says they get uploaded. There are none uploaded. Only clips, which are unrelated. Would like to catch up on episodes from the show being in Disneyland.
Dont Sign Up with 'NINE Now' – what a crap network, as bad as 7, all adds and garbage talk/current affairs always pushing their own stereotypical objective. i need to watch DiDly Squat farm (JC) Nine advise to join up to their free to air site to view all episodes, So i did,, then i was advised that i could not view Jeremy's DS Farm as its was not for viewing in my GEO area. What a total Waste Of Space NINE Are !
Channel 9 has to explain why Olympic programs cannot be watched from Samsung 4K Smart TV – I have 2017 top of the range Samsung 4K Smart TV and 9Now with Olympic logo icon was on the screen together with all small display windows of "Olymic Games Paris 2024", "Olympic Open Ceremony", "Epic 20th Season Block Isaland" etc., programs that normally the window can be clicked and it would played. But on second day of Olympic opening, the 9Now… Read more
app was no longer working. It popped out a window when clicked, saying "This 282679 has been terminated and is no longer avalable. Do you want to delete the selected item(s)". I delected the 9Now app and reinstalled the app, the whole TV screen went black and popped out a window saying "Unable to connect to Samsung server, Please try latter. (AS415). This is ridiculous. I have everything working a night before. This is not acceptable, since all other TV free to air of other channels, including Netflix, prime, Youtube, Samsung TV etc are all working on my 2017 Tv. This is a Tv well fit to current NBN speed, transmission format, internet protocal. Channel 9 has to explain to the public why 9Now app not working when they have the transmission right of Olympic event and Channel 9 has no right to deprive a section of Australian public who has 2017 TV to watch Olympic program.
Deliberate crashing – Almost always towards the end of a program, it will freeze on ad 5 out of 6. Never earlier in the reel and almost never during the actual program. The only option is to back out and restart, you then get the “punishment ad” for restarting, before it commences back at ad 1 of 6 meaning you then watch 12 ads. Quite often in the last ad break it will… Read more
fail twice (again always at 5/6) so to watch the end of the program you have to sit through 17 consecutive ads during the last break alone, making 29 ads in the about the last 11 minutes of the program. It happens too often to not be deliberate.
Latest follow-ups
Utter garbage Add after add, no ability to pause or rewind live tv. Just terrible.
Follow-up · Still garbage, would like to confiscate their one star
Constantly freezes. Voice and speech don’t coincide. Deleted app and reinstalled constantly with no improvement
Follow-up · Our internet isn’t the best but I take that into consideration. The device is a television. Yes freezes when it wants.
Positive reviews
Winter Olympics coverage was generally excellent. Unlike my review on 9Now for the Summer Olympics in 2024, 9Now has done a great job with the Winter Olympics. The hosts spoke just about the right amount of time before throwing to actual sports. When broadcasting a sport, 9Now kept with that sport for a good period of time and we got good… Read more
context for the event. The only reason this isn’t a 5 star review is that the advertisements were repeated very frequently and almost always the same ones. I think we saw the same ads about 300 times over the 2 weeks!
I love channel 9 and watch it most of the time. I feel that The Adams family has been on long enough, the show has run through too many times. I would really love to see the Partridge Family in it's place. I grew up watching and loving this show and I'd love my kids to watch and experience The Partridge Family.

Totally positive television – Para Olympic trials, what a fabulous, educational program, totally inclusive, Australia could learn a lot from the coverage of the swimming trials and this is only day two completed. Congratulations channel 9 for the best program on any channel for a very long time
Negative reviews
NRL grand final .advertised pre game entertainment at 630 pm Nearly the next half hr tv ,filled in with adverts. Channel ) should be closed down .false advertising
Absolutely the most terrible app. Constant buffering, resetting, black screens. Then theres the ads. Evening is spent trying to get into the app and the trying to watch a program of choice. I see this is an issue that spans years and I've no interest in fixing it.
The app constantly freezes, goes quiet and requires approximately 6-8 reboots during live NRL games.....it's rubbish and I have 3 different internet providers including starlink, so it has to be the app.
Follow-up · How's this? On the night of the NRL grand final, not once did the app falter. Obviously advertising revenue is higher, so the cynic in me believes a greater bandwidth (or whatever) solved the problem.

The Block has lost its way. As chanel 9 has.The way the help out some couples let other's struggle unfair competition. The selection of some couples are all show pony's . Also 11 ads each break is a joke. I can understand why Scotty Cam is also leaving chanel 9 . Mayby James Packer needs to buy 9 and change management and lift it to where it should be Show details
This is the worst so called streaming app. It doesn’t buffer correctly, the ads are out of date and repetitive and after 2 minutes of the show I got 3 1/2 minutes of ads.
Watching Resident Alien. 6 commercials, 5 seconds of the show. 6 commercials, 5 seconds of the show. 4 commercials, 5 seconds of the show. How can people put up with this rubbish I would like to give a negative 5, but unfortunately there are to many ads
Leftist bought and paid for - typical owned by a commy American company - they refuse to call Donald Trump president hate Pauline Hanson and dumped carl and like always made right wing politics so much stronger - all these leftist keep shooting themselves in the foot , but keep doing what your doing as your making g the right stronger everday
Absolutely the nastiest app ever .. Looping, skipping, freezing, freaking use some your NRL $$$ and pay a freaking 10 year old to fix your trash.. Freaking monkeys

Channel 9 has ceased giving local news for Newcastle and the Hunter, ignoring the needs of our local community. Now we get only Sydney and a bit of international news. We want our local news and Weather back. Stop shortchanging the Hunter, please Channel 9.
I was frustrated with the nine now ap that I felt like throwing the remote to the TV. Trying to watch Clarksons Farm 4 in the continued watching, it took me back to the start of series 3. There was nowhere to look at other episodes to pick the right one, used the search engine and it came up with there is no Clarksons Farm, the only way to get to… Read more
the series I wanted was to fast forward through each series then sit through six different adds each time. I do not recommend nine now to anyone it is trash.
I think they used the same web developer as the BOM! It’s gone from great to garbage! Takes forever to load, co tent all Over the place, hard to navigate and a giant step back
I moved to 9 because 7 news was apalling. 9, not only do they have far to many ads, they are now advertising realestate and other non news events, just to make a $. You're making money on advertising, but for your advertisers to profit, you will need an audience. Cheers
Worst streaming app, period. If you like missing big chunks of the State of Origin because it keeps freezing for no reason, love not being able to pause etc, and prefer standard resolution over HD, then this is the app for you.
The app is absolute garbage for live sport. Constant stuttering, frame drops, buffering, and random quality loss. Trying to watch State of Origin on this feels like streaming through a potato. Meanwhile every other streaming service I use runs perfectly fine, even in 4K, so the issue clearly isn’t my internet. If you’re going to lock major sporting events behind your app, at least make the app functional.
TOTALLY FED-UP BY ANNOUNCERS RETURN Why bring back the announcer that has a voice that sounds like a dirty old man. I was ready to commend channel 9 for finally removing the incongruent announcer re the past couple of months, but no, It looks like it's back with a vengeance. This time I won't bother with muting or changing channel because I'm… Read more
right on the verge of deleting 9 from my menu on this issue for good. A channel that once had class has turned into a channel that now programs local smut with some announcements that has my grand kids in tears. I was surprised to learn via a casual conversation at my local that I was not alone here as others were also muting the disgusting announcements! This will be my last Communication with 9!
Frustration is an understatement trying to watch "Power", what an absolute joke of a streaming service, starts with an add, plays 30 seconds of the show 6 more adds show starts 3 seconds and drops out back to live TV. Restart show and repeat absolutely peed off glad I made it to the last episode no more Nine Now for me, should be called Nine later or Nine never wish I could give 0 stars or minus 10
