User Reviews

RNZ app is praised for strong live streaming and on-demand audio, a broad library of news, podcasts and interviews, and useful features like topic-based notifications and saving interviews. Users note fast access to live streams and generally solid performance. However, the app shows recurring issues with streaming reliability (crashes/bugs), notification flood (too many/duplicate alerts despite controls), and the absence of a full daily programme listing. Helpful UX requests include dark mode and sleep/background playback, but core strengths are content breadth and customizable notifications.

Pros

Strong live streaming and on‑demand audio.
Broad content library including news, podcasts, and interviews with easy access.
Customizable topic-based notifications and the ability to bookmark/save interviews for later.
Fast access to live streams and straightforward navigation.

Cons

Streaming crashes/bugs and reliability issues (crashes at launch or during use).
Notification overload: too many/duplicate alerts despite controls.
Missing full daily programme listing (lack of a complete schedule).

as someone who loves international broadcasting, like to know what else is going on with the world besides us news

I have switched to the RNZ app as my main source of news. The other NZ news apps send too many notifications for me - I just want important news updates when it matter and not to be constantly flooded. RNZ let’s me control which topics I want notifications for. I also like being able to locate interviews from the radio programme and star them for referral later - some great content there. I have two requests that would make the app a lot better for me. 1) please add the ability to increase the font size of articles I am reading. 2) please support dark mode. Thank you.
