Really good news coverage, but poor performance. On a low end phone the app is barely usable, and on a high end phone it is laggy. It seems to need input from specialist phone app developers to tidy up the UI. Another annoyance is that there appears to be no Settings option. EG To turn off push notifications I had to use the system level setting. With attention to some of these issues this should be the best app for NZ news coverage.

The app has stopped completely updating. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it to no avail. i use a Galaxy S9. Update : (18/04/19) the latest reinstall (4th time ) has worked and the app is updating with new upgrade. Great! Now, the most frustrating aspect of the app is the lack of a search tool🔍

I've just downloaded the app to a Samsung tablet. The type size is huge and resists all attempts to be reduced (with usual screen swipes). I can't find anywhere to select font size. And the screen won't rotate either. Yes, the tablet's screen rotate is enabled. All other apps are working fine. Any suggestions?

App is buggy. If you use the website you can at least scroll properly but then the menu button doesn't work. Samsung note 9 Android pie. Tried website with chrome and Firefox on Android. Also slightly less of a major but please fix all the button press effects, buttons at bottom of menu are slightly cut off. Menu top color results in Android status bar being white on white. And collapsing seems to be broken (still shows as line some kind of broken Parallax).

Good writing. App is 7mb to download, but last look on my phone was taking up 800mb. What am I doing wrong??
