Great for nz news and the listening to RNZ National Radio & program features. App interface design is a bit clunky, putting the navigation buttons (back button) in different places. It should be placed consistently in the same corner each time. The app defies re-orientation to landscape or upside down when the device(phone or tablet) is turned. This should be corrected to allow for those orientations. Finally the myQueue has stopped downloading and will not store any items. Update fault?

Eddie Robitai, 2025-01-18Randomly cuts out frequently. Only works reliably on my fibre connection at home. When away from home it's useless. I use 4G data on a modern phone, in areas with excellent reception, and my settings don't restrict data-heavy apps in any way. It's weird that RNZ cuts out, but I can still listen to internet radio from around the world, watch YouTube, use TVNZ apps etc
