User Reviews

Reviews show 1NEWS is improved but unstable: positives include a cleaner layout and an iPad-friendly version. The main recurring drawbacks are crashes, unreliable video playback (partial loads, black screens, mid-video stops), inconsistent iPad support, and a clumped, less intuitive navigation layout after updates. Some users also report regional streaming restrictions.

Pros

App has improved significantly since earlier versions, with a cleaner layout and less ad noise.
iPad version now appears properly designed for iPad.
Overall polish makes it preferable to some other NZ news apps when it works.

Cons

Frequent crashes and freezes (loading splash screen or tapping stories can crash).
Video playback is unreliable: only loads sometimes, black screens, or stops mid-video.
Inconsistent iPad compatibility: some users see only a sliver of content or can't use the app on iPad.
Post-update navigation/content organization is awkward, with content not easily associated with specific shows.

I decided to try this app again after being really underwhelmed with it a few years ago. It’s much improved. I’d even say I prefer it over the other NZ news apps now. There’s minimal ad noise and the layout is nice and clean. Looks like the iPad version is actually made for iPad now too rather than just a tiny column in the middle of the screen like it used to be.

App does not work for iPad. You only get a sliver of article on screen.

I use to be able to stream the live news shows here in America, but can’t anymore. I liked to keep up with what’s going on in New Zealand since my grand baby lives there (with her parents of course). The written word is ok, but I do miss the morning show.
