9Now 12+

London Kills

It is awesome that l can watch this show on 9 now, as for some reason, l can’t watch 9Gem on my tv & so l heard how everybody l knew was so into this show & saying it was great & l was perplexed why l couldn’t access the channel. I found out it was on STAN OR BINGE & was disappointed as l get Netflix & then l was thinking when l saw an ad for 9Now & downloaded it & found it their in the menu. I was elated, as l like these kind of shows & since l played the first episode, l was hooked, & am loving it immensely & have discovered their are more shows that l intend to watch. It is an awesome array of shows of all calibers that you can access. So l can see that l will be watching 9Now all the time, instead of watching shows that are re-runs or do not interest me l will look to 9Now as the place to go for my catch ups or new or old shoes etc. Thankyou for creating such a variety of shows etc that are more entertaining & my one shop viewing. Regards Nicci

Hi Nicci. Thanks for the 5-star rating! It's great to know to hear that you've found a great variety of shows to watch.

Frustrating

Great shows but I find the following aspects incredibly frustrating:
1) The quantity of advertisement breaks 5-6 per episode is way too much and incredibly irritating. To the point where I’ll often give up watching and go to a screening service no matter how much I’m enjoying the program.
2) The repitition of the same adverts over and over again every add break nearly drives you insane
3) Trying to repeat an episode in a series you’ve already watched is extremely difficult to do. The episode stayed cued at the very last second of the episode and you have to try to catch the slide bar within 1 second in order to drag it back to the beginning in order to re-start the episode. This usually takes me at least 5-6 attempts as there is only about 1-2 seconds at the end of the episode to grab the slider and drag it back to the beginning of said episode before it automatically rolls into the next episode!! This is truly infuriating.
4) it would be great if there was a section which held programs you are currently watching on the Home Screen.

App has been frustrating but good support response

An update to my review below: the support team responded and advised how to resolve our issues. The first attempt didn’t work well, but after more investigation and work on their end, the app is now running trouble-free for us. As a result I’m happy with the app, apart from the repetitive ads! My recommendation now is that if you have an issue, contact the support team who have done a great job in resolving the problems we were experiencing.

Previous review: Struggling to find anything good to say about this.
- keeps stopping and stalling, sometimes every 20 sec, sometimes every minute. It isn’t our broadband connection, we have great speed. Takes forever to watch one show on 9, not an issue on other apps.
- the ads are repetitive; the same ad is very often played twice in a row.
- it doesn’t remember which episode you were up to and doesn’t always mark an episode as played, even if watched right to the end, so can take a while to figure out which one to watch next.
Tonight is the pits. We have been trying to watch a single episode of 24 for the past 90 minutes, have deleted and reloaded the app, and it just isn’t able to load the content. Possibly the Channel 9 servers are not up to the job.
This is a shame since I’d really like to watch more programs.
My recommendation is to don’t waste your time.
