Users repeatedly cite login failures, loading errors, and heavy ads in the Stuff.co.nz Android app. The most frequent issues are persistent sign-in problems, intrusive advertising, and pages not loading or showing errors, with several reports of crashes and navigation glitches. Overall, the app is described as unstable and frustrating, especially for paying subscribers trying to read content.

Pros

Cons

Persistent login issues: frequent sign-in loops, codes not arriving, and automatic sign-outs.
Intrusive ads disrupt reading: floating video ads and full-screen ads that are hard to dismiss.
Content loading problems: articles often fail to load, show blank screens, or display 'page unavailable' or 'link incorrect'.
App instability after updates: freezes, crashes, and overall unreliable performance.
Search and navigation problems: inability to search for content and unresponsive menus.

Recent reviews

after a reafing couple of stories, all the links cease to work until the app is restarted. this wasn't a problem until the last release.

A *****, 2026-05-27

Oh my goodness Stuff, just dreadful. But, more importantly, it's really unusable - the articles don't open when you select them, the back button doesn't exit. Font selection seems to suggest changing the entire device's font!? Search? Offline capable? Nope! This was such a bizarre update, it went from something that actually had a bit of polish in 2023 to something that feels like it has been written by total novices, even three years later. What have you done to yourselves?
