Hopeless

Hopeless. almost impossible to enjoy watching anything with the constant freezing, adds and just poor interface.

Sucks

Seems like nz becoming a third world country, even their apps are hopeless, keeps freezing, won’t play all sorts of issues

Chromecast: Ad audio kicking in 15s before visual

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.

Not available

It always says content not supported by location pls help I wanna use it pls

Error code

I try to watch Chelsea lose but it says error code for no reason at all. Very annoying . Smashed my phone because of it

Worst app ever

worst app ever

Improvements

The app doesn’t remember where you are up to watching.

Not great.

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.

Streaming functionality

Streaming through the app is poor. Doesn’t track the episode your up to, no auto play.

Disorientation

Hopefully you will fix the disorientation for iPad (not sure of other devices) on your next update?

Portrait view lock intensely annoying on iPad

I find it hard to believe that a whole team of designers, analysts, developers, testers and their management decided it was ok to release a new version of the app that is locked in portrait view on an iPad until you actually play a video. Have any of you tried to use your app on an iPad with a keyboard attached?? So am I supposed to keep taking my keyboard on and off just to view your app?It is frustrating, annoying and if a previous reviewer is correct against the Apple license agreement. For goodness sake make this a top priority to fix.

Frustrating

I’m sick of having to sign in all the time with an email code. Also it doesn’t save where you’re up to and you spend ages watching extra ads while you try and find where you’re up to.

Portrait mode

When are you going to change to landscape mode just FIX It

Do you even test your app?!

Every release has a new defect. Easy to pickup if tested correctly with a good regression suite.

Please fix you test approach. It’s pretty rubbish.

New Version

Why does the new version load in portrait mode on an iPad now?

Error

Absolutely terrible I am so mad i am trying to watch the rookie but it keep saying oppps error please try again later 😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑

Wrong side up

The new updated app will only display sideways on my iPad Pro. Shows play correctly in landscape but all navigation is portrait.

Appalling operation

The app modifies the Accessibilty settings on my iPad. It disables the Touch settings making the iPad unusable.

Episodes dont auto play

This app is painful, episodes wont auto play in the iphone app or smart tv app. Terrible

Shocking

Well,
Where do we start? App won’t load, when it does the reception stop starts, freezes and then completely stops.
The recordings won’t fast forward or rewind, but fear not!!! The ads still load perfectly and are forced in front of every recording you want to start. Honestly tvnz make us pay for it instead, even just a bit, for a substantially better service. Right now I never touch the app as it’s useless.
