User Reviews

Reviews praise NZ Herald News for timely, well-written local and international reporting and for serving expat readers abroad, often breaking stories quickly. However, users repeatedly flag paywalls, heavy advertising, perceived bias and inconsistent moderation, plus app reliability and UX issues (crashes, sign-in problems, and confusing navigation) as major drawbacks.

Pros

Timely, well-written local and international news coverage.
Fast breaking stories that appear ahead of major outlets.
Helpful for expatriates/remote readers to stay up-to-date from abroad.
Overall high-quality journalism and trusted content.

Cons

Content heavily gated behind paywalls, limiting access.
Excessive ads and intrusive banners disrupt reading.
Perceived political bias and inconsistent comment moderation.
App reliability issues after updates (sign-in/out problems, crashes).
UX/navigation frustrations (headlines disappearing after opening, annoying UI elements).

Recent reviews

No matter how good the App is it cannot lift the abysmal standard of clickbait and nonsense masquerading as quality journalism

With this last update, I can no longer open the app. Nor can I ‘update’ it, even though it was previously working. So, I’ve deleted it from all my devices.
