Pros and cons of RNZ app for iPhone and iPad

RNZ app good for

This app has so much, updated very often with great features. Highly recommend. I wish you would still update the feature section
Fantastic array of top Quality content,not just for New Zealanders but anyone after a diverse selection of intellectual topics in arts, culture,science and the world in general. Just wish it had variable speed playback.

Some bad moments

Im a huge fan of Radio NZ programmes. This app works as advertised, features a fine selection of the radios best pieces. Im looking forward to live streaming. A BIG THANK YOU is in order :-)
Live streaming now working but latest news is still buggy.....
It is great there is live streaming. Works well. However I need two more features that would give it five stars: 1) the ability to turn the stream off after a period of time as we are overseas and listen to National Radio as we go to sleep; and 2) to keep playing in the background as I use an alarm clock App that must be at the front in display. Put these two features in together and app would be perfect.
Live stream still buggy - crashes repeatedly at launch most mornings and sometimes wont start at all. Plays brilliantly once its going. "Latest" news stream often several hours old. Downloaded this app after RNZs live stream through WunderRadio stopped working. Just want to be able to listen live to RNZ National without struggling so much!
Maybe add an alarm feature to wake up to the news? Would be wonderful!!!
Great! At last you can stream live RadioNZ audio to your iPhone or iPad. The audio on demand is useful too - easily catch upon interesting programmes you missed, or catch the start of shows you only heard the end of. Wouk be useful if it also had a full programmeclisting for each day
