Lots of issues STILL haven’t been fixed

Doesn’t rotate correctly. 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.

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!

Terrible

I’d give negative stars if i could - I want to watch but it crashes every 5 minutes not fit for purpose

subtitles are broken

app ignores hardware level settings and continuously disables subtitles.
this should not override hardward level settings.
this is happening on both apple tv app AND google tv streamer
i do not recommend as this alienates the deaf/hard of hearing

AppleTV / iPad portrait

‘My list’ is almost no faster than scrolling as it needs regular restarts.

IPad app stuck in portrait, but plays in landscape… go figure.

All the while, every update says “App improvements and bug fixes”.
I don’t believe them one bit. They should say ‘SSDD’

Rubbish

Terrible app with so many adds.

App stopped working

The app has stopped working on my iPad. Have made several attempts to reinstall it over the past few weeks but still just getting a message to say the problem is at their end and they’re trying to fix it.

Not working

Does not work with older devices that most people have

Barely functional

Just tried to watch something on the app, and streaming from the browser, and the ads and programme are completely out of sync. Several times the programme is running with ad audio blasting over it. Unwatchable.

Total rubbish

Who signs off and released this utterly shambolic app?

Terrible

Since the platform upgrade the app crashes halfway through a show and then serves you 5-7 ads when you try to get back to the place you were at. If it lets you skip forward at all!

Eoan

What a disaster
PLEASE fix it
Used to be not too bad but now!!!!! BAD +++++
