Disgusting. ### 1/5 — Hopeless *2026-08-04, version 9.0.9* Hopeless. almost impossible to enjoy watching anything with the constant freezing, adds and just poor interface. ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-08-02, version 9.0.9* Seems like nz becoming a third world country, even their apps are hopeless, keeps freezing, won’t play all sorts of issues ### 1/5 — Chromecast: Ad audio kicking in 15s before visual *2026-07-31, version 9.0.9* When casting, ad audio kicks in early and de-syncs audio and video for rest of episode. _Partially_ resolveable by disconnecting from Chromecast and reconnecting though that does tend to trigger more ads. ### 2/5 — Not available *2026-07-30* It always says content not supported by location pls help I wanna use it pls ### 1/5 — Error code *2026-07-28* I try to watch Chelsea lose but it says error code for no reason at all. Very annoying . Smashed my phone because of it ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2026-07-27, version 9.0.9* worst app ever ### 3/5 — Improvements *2026-07-26, version 9.0.9* The app doesn’t remember where you are up to watching. ### 2/5 — Not great. *2026-07-25, version 9.0.9* The older version of this app used to save which episodes you had watched and auto start the next one when you get to the end. This version doesn’t. It’s disappointing as TVNZ was my go to for streaming. Now it’s a bit of an effort. Pls fix it to have the same usability as previous versions to allow it to stay up there with other streaming apps. ### 2/5 — Streaming functionality *2026-07-24, version 9.0.9* Streaming through the app is poor. Doesn’t track the episode your up to, no auto play. ## Frequently asked questions about TVNZ+ ### What kind of content can I watch on TVNZ+?
