Randomly cuts out frequently. Only works reliably on my fibre connection at home. When away from home it's useless. I use 4G data on a modern phone, in areas with excellent reception, and my settings don't restrict data-heavy apps in any way. It's weird that RNZ cuts out, but I can still listen to internet radio from around the world, watch YouTube, use TVNZ apps etc

I love RNZ but this app can be frustrating. For the 2nd time in about 6 weeks it has frozen and won't let me in and I am unable to listen to the radio live or recorded content. Then I have to reinstall the app to listen to the radio. Also if I am listening to a podcast in my car, each time i have to stop at a destination it obviously stops the recording but on resuming my drive the recording goes back to the beginning again rather than resuming where I left off.

I've been using the RNZ app for years, both for the text content and the streaming audio. But I recently developed a slight visual impairment and would very much prefer to have the app in dark mode (white text on black background) and be able to zoom the text if needed. Accessing RNZ's website using Chrome with the inverse RGB flag enabled lets me use it in dark mode and zoomable .....but then why use the app? Thanks for any consideration of this request.
