I guess it could be worse
Do people who make apps ever try to use them? I have to assume they don’t.
Lousy apps are not a problem confined to this one, but if developers used the apps instead of just writing them and releasing them with their fingers crossed they might have realised that having to click three (on my phone) or four (on my TV) buttons to change channels would be stupidly inefficient. Why doesn’t the channel up/channel down button on the remote do the job on the TV? Don’t even get me started on why/how it minimises/maximises on my phone or how I have to mess around with the mute/unmute button or how there’s no way apparent to stop video play when I have it in small screen mode.
There’s so much more I could say, but it’s not my job to make this app not suck. I’d give it a 1.5 star review if I could.

Lots of issues STILL haven’t been fixed
Doesn’t rotate correctly. Inconsistently displays episodes in order or reverse order. Forgets random episodes you have watched and makes that your next one to watch. Keeps things you’ve finished in ‘currently watching’, yet drops things you’re in the middle of watching. Constantly crashes. Shuffling to try to find where you were up to means you have to endure the same ads over and over. Lots of rubbish content (guess that’s unchanged at least). And apparently “Free to air” now includes paying.

Thanks
Great app
Misleading
In the App Store, so I downloaded it tried to watch something in the app and was told that only those in New Zealand can Access why is it in the App Store?
Very disappointing

Most bugs in any app I have seen
Please fix
All shows
Nothing is full screen
Does not work on iPad
Sucks on iPad.
Barely functioning
The app on the TV keeps failing “oops, something went wrong”, we try a few times before giving up.
Then we try casting via the phone app, only for that to fail after each set of ads and we have to hit play again. Sometimes it forces you right back to the start and plays about 5 ads in a row before it may or may not pick up again. It’s almost like it’s by design to sneakily force higher ad rates??
Such a pain since this app version was launched. Please resolve it.

👍
Great just a bit too much ads
ADS
Went to watch something, hit with 4 ads, thats fine, they need to make their money. Show starts and 15 seconds later hit with more ads, think of must be just 1 or so but no, another set of 6-8 ads. Thats just rediculous.

TVNZ+
Don’t get this it’s adds are way to after they happen every 5 minuets and I have to sit and wait just to watch me show this is such a disappointment I have to watch 8 adds just for 5 minuets of my show
Give me my life back
This app simply is RUBBISH - spooling for last two minutes for 3 rd time trying to get to the 6pm news. Either way is hopeless. !!!!
Ad central
You want 3 minutes of ads for 2 minutes of viewing any show? get TVNZ+.
AMAZZZUNNNGGGGGGGG
Honestly, this is the best app I’ve ever used for tv shows- I use it to watch the rookie most of the time but there are way more tv shows then that. The reviews saying there is alot of ads are true- but you’re watching tv shows for FREE, You’re basically just paying to watch with ads instead of money. 10/10 5 stars yippepeeeee!

Frustrated
The back to back ads is frustrating when you’re trying move back to a bit you’ve didn’t quite catch or if you’re trying to find the spot you previously stopped watching at & want to continue watching. Also wish it had a “are you still watching” feature like Netflix, if you’re watching a series & accidentally fall asleep, it’ll play the whole way through.
Chromecasting is also a frustrating glitchy nightmare.

Terrible platform
I mainly watch UFC - streams often stall - usually (but not always) after ad breaks. The stream often won’t restart and you have to go back to main menu or force quit the app and restart. Also, ufc events disappear from the menu shortly after playing and don’t come back for several hours. Would give zero stars if I could.

Way way way too hard to sign In on Apple TV.
Seriously come on. Look at any streaming service and how they offer this.
Typing in a full password with a remote control is truly a horrible experience.

Works how it is supposed to
Would pay for a no ads pass if that was available…
Horrible update.
There are so many things that have been going wrong with TVNZ+ since the update. It used to be so reliable. Now it is a mess. It drops out, doesn’t keep up with my viewing history, etc. But I am most annoyed and frustrated by the ridiculous portrait mode for the opening screen on my iPad, then having to change to landscape to view my program, that I have stopped watching TVNZ+ totally until it is fixed. What idiot there thought it was a great style choice? It is so stupid!
