Comments on RNZ for Android

★★★★★ Bridget Forsyth · Aug 11, 2025

Yay! It now has dark mode now! Thank you! So good! 10/10 I use this as an alternative to an actual radio around my house it gets much better reception & can be moved anywhere in the house. It would be even better if it had a dark mode.

★★★★★ James Viggiano · Apr 28, 2026

Look, you're not going to find an unbiased source of news here, but at least this app has a dark mode. As far as I can tell, it's the only major NZ news app I can actually read without blinding myself. 5 stars.

★★★★★ Keith Beesley · Jun 21, 2025

I have a bunch of apps for international radio and TV, but RNZ is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I'm in the US, and it works fine here. Lots of useful features, and interesting content.

★★☆☆☆ A Google user · Oct 28, 2025

No problem when playing RNZ radio first time in the day. But stopping and resuming, best the app could do is 15 seconds of playback. Workaround is to force close, launching again to play the radio.

★☆☆☆☆ Alastair Tye Samson · Mar 13, 2025

RNZ is my favorite news source, but I'm at my wits end with this app. In the app's settings I have turned off notifications for everything except 'breaking news' yet I still get bombarded with unwanted notifications about sport and frivolous puff pieces. I _want_ notifications about breaking news from RNZ! But it looks like I'm going to have to turn off notifications entirely because RNZ considers sports results and an article about someone making pies in the US to be "breaking news." Ridiculous.

★☆☆☆☆ Rod Hall · Dec 7, 2025

Still not working, often fails to load a news item once clicked to open to read, just gets stuck in a loop. Recently the app is not working properly. It displays the wrong details of what is playing and also will not load news item pages. It used to be fine but last week or so no good. The website works fine.
