Do love the program you have when I have previously been able to listen -- Teolism, 2024-07-07 ### ***** "Extra free content is great" Great app, gives longer interviews than on YouTube for free. Listen to all the time in the car now. -- Robert024, 2024-05-31 ### ***** "Streaming failing" I’m happy to say since you change your ISP have had a solid feed, no drop outs. Well done. 5 stars for service but more importantly content. Keep up the good work. -- pete401a, 2024-04-29 ### *---- "No improvement" I have not listened to Platform for quite a while, got totally fed up with guests being cut off and talked over, and hosts more interested in spouting their own views than eliciting the guests information. But I thought I would give them another try and guess what? In the first couple of interviews I heard guests being cut off and talked over, and hosts more interested in spouting their own views than eliciting the guests information. Deleted the app. Again. -- Derekiwi, 2024-04-25 ### *---- "No longer available" After the update 3 days ago it now just crashes when I’m trying to access on my iPod. Shame really I was quite enjoying it. -- ivan co now, 2024-04-10 ### *---- "Did enjoy at the start" Sean plunkett has got to the most arrogant person I have ever listened to has totally put me off The platform. Enjoyed most of the rest of the hosts. -- F J NZ, 2022-10-12 ### ***** "Top notch content" Finally, well written and sensible media articles performing the duty of media as they should be! App could be slightly more intuitive but can deal with minor issues like this in order to receive good journalism -- FreedomwatchNZ, 2022-08-18 ### ****- "Love the Platform" Absolutely love having the Platform to hear the real news grit! I realise it’s early days but the app needs to be much more user friendly. I listen to you while I walk the dog but frequently the regular radio stations work but not the Platform..! Will be top notch when you get it to play thru Alexa.! -- ji88lypuffer, 2022-07-07 ### ***** "Great content. Mediocre app" The content is refreshing and high quality real journalism. The app is poorly designed by modern standards. They are likely starting with budget constraints but should make app development a big focus going forward. -- iShaymus, 2022-06-30 ### ****- "App needs fixing - great content though" The Pod/Video page on the app doesn’t have a sort function, I have the same pod/video at the top for the last few weeks, instead of being able to sort by latest so the latest is at the top, or by presenter, etc. this makes it too hard to see the new content, and so I have stopped looking at the app. -- katereview1234567890, 2022-06-14 [View all The Platform reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## The Platform Discovered Keywords - newstalk zb - the platform - app - debatable ## The Platform Available In - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/new-zealand) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/australia) - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/united-states) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/united-kingdom) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/canada) - [China](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/china) - [Colombia](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/colombia) - [Czechia](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/czechia) - [Germany](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/germany) - [Denmark](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/denmark) - [Algeria](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/algeria) - [Ecuador](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/ecuador) - [Egypt](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/egypt) - [Finland](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/finland) - [Hong Kong SAR China](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/hong-kong) - [Ireland](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/ireland) - [Israel](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/israel) - [India](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/india) - [Italy](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/italy) - [Japan](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/japan) - [South Korea](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/south-korea) - [Kuwait](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/kuwait) - [Kazakhstan](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/kazakhstan) - [Latvia](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/latvia) - [Malaysia](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/malaysia) - [Netherlands](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/netherlands) - [Norway](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/norway) - [Peru](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/peru) - [Portugal](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/portugal) - [Romania](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/romania) - [Russia](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/russia) - [Saudi Arabia](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/saudi-arabia) - [Singapore](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/singapore) - [Thailand](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/thailand) - [Türkiye](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/turkey) - [Taiwan](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/taiwan) - [Ukraine](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/ukraine) - [Vietnam](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/vietnam) - [United Arab Emirates](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/united-arab-emirates) - [South Africa](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/south-africa) - [Argentina](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/argentina) - [Azerbaijan](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/azerbaijan) - [Brunei](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/brunei) - [Brazil](https://apptail.io/app/the-platform-wZze/brazil) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
