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
★★★★★ Beverley Earles · May 18, 2026
I live in the USA and count on this app for New Zealand news
★★★★☆ 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.
★☆☆☆☆ Chopa D · Jul 11, 2026
Since the latest update, it is the worst app to navigate, if you get a notification and want to read that particular article it takes you to something completely different and searching for the article is like a "Where's Wally" mission. Painful and Disappointing.
★☆☆☆☆ Mark Charles · Jul 3, 2026
The most recent app update would have to be the worst ever. You pay for a premium subscription and now get bombarded by even more ads. You can no longer swipe between articles so has become ridiculously painful to scan through the news. Was called by a person asking to extend my subscription a week ago, and I told them I'd rather cancel my current with the most recent update, and she hung up on me 🤣 How to alienate a customer base in a single app update
★☆☆☆☆ 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.
