Safety

I love this. I’m elderly and live alone. The bad things happen so often. I like being advised when something is happening near me. I can be ready if need be. I’m not scared. I have a son ready to protect me and also a very good family that the man of the house was a Marine and an excellent gun person. He would be here instantly. I also have a gun ready. But I’m glad to know what’s going on. That’s again and y’all be safe.

NewsWest9 covers it all!

NewsWest9 is the best news to watch in the Permian Basin. They cover all the stories here in West Texas. We enjoy watching Tatum Guinn as she has becomes one of the best news anchors from our area. Tatum grew up here and went to school with our kids. She reports on what’s important, the truth of both sides, and good news to brighten our day. We need to stay informed of the things happening around us locally & nationally. NewsWest9 covers it all.

Too busy

Thought I would get this app on my iPad and now am rethinking. Might just delete it. For the local weather (which is what I mainly use) is too busy. For any video, there was always a commercial first. I wouldn’t call that user friendly. I would have to scroll thru ads and many other items to get to My Weather. I’m not always on the recliner with my feet up with lots of time. Sometimes knowing what the weather is doing is urgent in West Texas. Not really happy with this for the weather. Maybe you could fix the software to be able to choose what the app opens in so I can view weather instantly and then move on to other things.

Sound

When listening to the different programs, the sound has to be turned up until ads come on then I have to turn down the sound. I have compared you with channel seven and I don’t have the same problem. There is something wrong with your broadcast.

News West 9

I gave 4 stars only because the weather maps and the daily forecast are so small. If I could get them, especially the weather map, to go to landscape or enlarge them in some way it would be much better.

Good to have but liked the formatting better a few years ago!

I prefer the way it was a few years ago. But thank ful for the ability to check news an weather. It was much easier an enjoyable a few years ago. The formatting and the way the website was arranged. It was much simpler an functional. But same information.

Review

Newswest time always does it’s best to stay on top of everything that goes on in West Texas, especially in Midland/Odessa. It’s easy to send a text directly to the newsroom to report something that you may not know about. You all always text back, “thanks for letting us know “.

Best News Station

I live in Safford AZ and have visited my Midland, TX Familia since 1997. When I first visited them I would watch the news and came to love NewsWest 9. I love them on FB and now this app, they are like family. Love the people and their reporting abilities, their humor and love for their community. Keep up the good work and God Bless Y’all:) #TXSTRONG #iloveTX

Dislike

GO back to the old app, The news and weather was just fine on that one. And I think I’m not the only one who will say that.

Better than others

At least this app covers more news. Only thing I don’t like about it is the repeat of stories 2-3 times.

Thanks to great preventative policing and well trained police in Odessa and midland, followed by stiff swift trails and sentencing, a great area to live in.

Had to move on

I think they should remove the news stories and just finish the app off with ads.

New app is no good!

I really like the old app where the weather was kept separate! It was much easier to use and navigate. Please bring back the old Stormtracker app!

Worst app

Bring back the old one! The weather radar on this is so bad and can’t even switch from portrait to landscape! Did you not even beta test this thing before signing off on it?!

Dislike

I really dislike the new app. All I want to see is the weather and not all the news and other things. The previous App (Stormtracker) was perfect. I travel a lot and the previous app was great because I got alerts where I was and I didn’t have to go into the app to change location like I have to do now. The old app was easy to use, you just opened it up and got your weather. This new app takes steps to get what you want. Will most likely delete this app and get one of the national weather apps because they work like the old app. Bad move NewsWest 9!!

5 years ago, HowmanyTakennamesarethere?lol

The old app is better.

Why have this one, it has no radar, I hate that, There’s nothing to do on it, forcept to look through 5 day forecast, and the news.

5 years ago, Reuben Jager Penderpevehouse

I agree with EddieinBahrain

Everything Eddie said in the previous review is so true and exactly how I feel about this new app, there is no reason for me to try to say it again. What did you do to us, KWES???

New App Radar Lousey

Already the “NEW” app download radar keeps crashing and is LOUSEY!! Please just bring back the News West 9 Storm Tracker app! Why did the great weather app turn into this? Update the “NEW” app because it’s horrible!

No Landscape View?

I hate apps that don’t let me switch from portrait to landscape view on my iPad. This is one that apparently works only in portrait view. I’m not likely to spend much time on it due to that.

5 years ago, mrs randolph

What happened to it??

Worked great at first, radar worked and seemed pretty accurate and got life saving alerts, now it’s so slow and I’m not getting warnings alerts or notifications.

Horrible for weather now

Wow!! I get you wanted a newer app for the news, but for the weather portion to be this pitiful is just ridiculous!! I commute to work and there is nothing like getting an update to not even be able to look at the radar now. So crappy! It’s spring in Texas, get with it!

Notifications

Your app sends out far two many notifications daily. If this does not change I will be deleting the app. Also the new version of the weather app is not as good as the old app.
