Comments on NZ Herald News for Android

★★★★☆ Delwyn Fletcher · Apr 11, 2026

I find it informative but some of the articles need subscriptions, and it's a little frustrating. I understand that the Herald needs people who pay to keep going. Still would recommend the articles.

★★★★☆ Beverley Graham · May 25, 2026

Great news articles generally, although I wish some of thepremium' articles were free as some of them look like they contain important information, but I'm too Scrooge to pay

★★★★☆ Jan & Bill Sodeau · Apr 14, 2026

I would have given 5 stars, but I'm really annoyed by the pictures on pages (online) that do not correspond with the story advertised.

★★★★★ Beverley Earles · May 18, 2026

I live in the USA and count on this app for New Zealand news

★★★★☆ Joy Arthur · Apr 1, 2026

This ap keeps me up to date on current news items with clear, concise information.

★★☆☆☆ Hamish Gentil · Aug 9, 2026

Latest update navigation is not intuitive. Totally frustrating finding recent news.

★★☆☆☆ John Speechly · Feb 2, 2026

Recently reinstalled the app as I have paid for it but have been mainly using online searches. The app is extremely annoying as invariably many paragraphs end mid-sentence so tend to just search NZ Herald news on laptop

★★☆☆☆ Alex Walton · Jun 21, 2026

Notifications don't link to the article.

★☆☆☆☆ Dene Amos · Jun 22, 2026

New update sucks. I pay and now adds galore. Can't swipe between articles, have to use back all the time.
