Crashes on open
It’s been crashing immediately on opening since the last update. Latest iOS, iPhone 15.
Still waiting for an update.
It’s a good app, when it’s working. Other than the repeated stories, which is a little unusual.

Why can’t I zoom images
Great app but only News app I know of where you cannot zoom images. Not great if your eyesight is poor :-(
Unreliable at opening
RNZ app will come up with error of “Something is wrong”. Pity
Not fit for purpose
This app is maddening and the state broadcaster has a responsibility to do better.
It frequently crashes, the audio stops all the time even when it says it’s playing, the search function is a joke, as is the ‘now playing’ function which often bears no resemblance to scheduling, not to mention the screen lock bug mentioned in many other reviews.
When was it last updated for god’s sake?!

Font size and UX issues
Good source of news, but the not size is way too small and not adjustable. It’s crazy this simple issue remains after all these years.
Also you can touch the text of a story and it will jump to another story without reason.
Boggles my mind that the developers don’t make the app more accessible. Better off using the website.

Far too many notifications!
I like RNZ for its reporting of news, but… please stop notifying us about everything and anything! My notifications are set to “Breaking news” and yet I am getting tens of notifications per day! I have tried other notification settings but it doesn’t seem to make any difference: still tens of notifications per day! Sadly, others have reported this same issue several years ago and, clearly, nothing has ever been done about it. 😕 I have been using the app for years but I am getting closer and closer to uninstalling it. Just fed up with all those useless notifications!

Good updates
What would make it even better is the option to increase font for app. Is that an option?
Excellent ad free news
Better than the any commercial nz news outlet
Drops Apple HomePod connection
Love the app and content, however I can’t play through the HomePods anymore. It connect then after a few seconds drops out. Have factory reset the HomePods multiple times to no avail. All other apps seem fine. Don’t know if this is a new bug? Not a huge issue but annoying.
Please add Dynamic Type
I love that you have added Dark Mode. This makes a big difference in reducing eye strain. So much nicer now to peruse the news at the end of the day.
UPDATE: please consider supporting the Dynamic Type accessibility setting. The font in your news articles is very small.

No image zoom
Please please please let users select and zoom in on images within news articles. It is super frustrating not to be able to see details one couldn't see trivially on the website.
Terrible App for those with visual impairments.
In short, they’re basically excluding those users who have vision problems from using their App.
Although the app does implement choices for light or dark modes, there is no way to enlarge the article text font size.
This makes for one of the worst NA news content apps in the App Store.

Mixed results
Cuts out of term. Chews through battery even when no audio playing
Customise notifications
My go-to app when it comes to NZ news. However, I really wish notifications could be customised. I have no interest in sports news and yet there are so many notifications about that topic. It regularly makes me want to disable notifications or even uninstall the app. Very frustrating.
Dynamic text size needed
Awesome app, and content and use everyday.
Though please add ability for dynamic text size to change.
Reading glasses or using Safari are not options for quick headline updates.
Thanks!

Sick of the sensationalism and negativity.
RNZ news I can do withoit
Dark mode problem
My initial excitement about dark mode has waned somewhat. It does not work with images of graphs. The legends are now black on black so impossible to read. Take a look at today's article on colonoscopies. The graphs are impossible to interpret. If the legends were in any colour other than black it would work.

Awesome, but needs Dark Mode!
Does what it says on the tin, delivers great relevant news. My only wish would be for a Dark Mode, which would help reading it at night, easier on the eyes 🤓
UPDATE: It now has Dark Mode, yay!!

Good, but often takes you to a browser page
I’ve had this as one of my main news apps for years now, primarily for NZ based news. Have noticed recently however that many articles simply have a one sentence summary followed by a ‘Read the article’ click link, that then takes you to a separate browser page. Why??? Please bring the articles back into the app! It’s gotten to the point where I won’t bother reading the story and will just move on.
