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.

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.

Thanks for working with us to resolve the issue and for updating your review.

Oh the ads! Very limited app

My TV doesn’t pick up free to air so I stream 9Now on my Chromecast.

Casting the app takes so long. First you have to select it, then wait for it to load, and then you have to select stream again.

You also have to do this for every episode as it won’t automatically play the next one.

Plus it doesn’t remember where in an episode you last watched so it always starts at the beginning. BUT only after it makes you sit through 3-5 irrelevant ads. And if you want to skip ahead to where you were previously watching, you have to sit through another few ads. Not ideal.

And it doesn’t always show which was the last episode you watched. It’s really hit and miss.

There’s no option to save or favourite a show so you can keep them in one place.

I know it’s a free to air channel, but this app has way too many ads. I wish it was more like SBS or ABC where you watch a couple ads at the start of the show, and maybe throw in one or two during. However I feel I watch an equal amount of ads as I do the show. And as soon as you start to get into the storyline BAM!! hello ads for stupid shows I don’t want to watch.

I don’t often use the app as even though it’s free, there’s too many ads. Currently watching the Mindy Project, but will most likely stop using again once finished the series.
