I use this as an alternative to an actual radio around my house (therefore using Wi-Fi) it gets much better reception & can be moved anywhere in the house. It's a tiny bit delayed than actual radio, I don't know why that is. It would be even better if it had a dark mode. But it's still pretty great. I did have to turn the notifications off which was annoying as they're useful for when it's playing but it kept notifying me of other things (despite those being turned off).

Still NZ's best news source, however, the app insists on showing me notifications for sporting events as "breaking" news. In my settings I disabled everything other than "breaking" including Sports. I suspect this is a classification problem at RNZ rather than an app issue. No sports event should ever be "breaking" news.

I've used this android app on many phones but it keeps stopping now every few minutes so it's become unusable. I have to go back in and press play then it's fine....but very annoying.
