Not working

App does not open any news papers at all.

Don't Buy

Terrible app. Can't believe I wasted money on this. Would love a refund back

Solid app, easy to customise

It takes a very short time to customise the app so that the newspapers you are most interested in are at the top of the list. From there it's also easy to customise which content from each paper you want at the top of the list. So I've moved all National & then World news to the top, plus the other sections I'm interested in. This way I don't have to scroll passed "entertainment" or "odd stuff" to see what I want.

Once it's customised it's easy to use. The reviewer who said they only saw summaries needed to click on the summary to get the full article.

The app works well. It gives you all the current content over a huge range of NZ newspapers.

It's not as slick looking as perhaps it could be but it does the job & does it perfectly. With the customisation it's better than visiting the sites themselves, even better if you upgrade to premium to get rid of ads (which I think is well worth it, but try the app for a while before choosing for yourself).

This app is the best news content interface I've seen for NZ news.

This app is not worth the $2.59 - buy a coffee

The news articles for all papers, except the NZ Herald and Stuff.co, are very old.

Poor quality

I found this app to be similar to pulse, in that it offers only a small blurb of the news and not the whole article. It was clumsy to use in comparison to pulse as well. I want a refund, but cannot for the life of me work out how to get one.

Terrible app

Wow this app is bad. First time I have ever deleted an app I paid for. You have to search through lots of sections just to get to the section you want eg news which will be near the list since its alphabetical. I thought this would have the actual newspaper available same ad you would read if you went there online. Nope it's basically a glorified list of stories to wade through with no real way to customise it with the exception of which order the papers are listed in. Complete and utter waste of money.

Waste of money!

Total waste of money.

Useless

I can't see the point of this app, it gives headlines and nothing else

Great idea, actual practice isn't great

This is such a great idea, to have all the papers in one place. However, after the first page it doesn't look very good and you have to tap twice on the story you want before it comes up. Also you can only read one story at a time, you can't flick through them. I don't want to trust just Stuff, but their app is real easy to use and looks great!
There is still a lot of work to be done on this app.

Oops

I should have checked the reviews first :(

Poor

While using this app I was take to porno sites. Not appreciated, especially for a paid app.

3 lines news only

All you get is about 3 lines per story. Even on the stuff part. No way to even link up with more story

Nope

Not worth it... Terrible interface, doesn't have all the NZ papers, and advertisements...

Rubbish

Would have been nice to have some screen shots of the App as then I would not have brought it. It's just a app that links you to other newspapers web sites. Waste of space

Otago Daily Times

Easy access & brief, up to date, current head lines makes this the best app for the world traveller whom wants to keep in touch.
Your local news is still the best in the North. Canada that is!

Ads on paid version

What's up guys? With the new update I'm now getting ads on the app. I paid for the app...why am I getting ads?

Have been so happy with this app until this point. If you're considering this app, it's still worth it - especially once the developers fix the issue of ads on the free version.

Dandi

App does less than when purchased. Not Wat it used to be! No Sunday papers as originally wen first used in October

False advertising

This app clearly states Hawkes Bay Today as one of papers and when you open app after purchase it is not available . Either correct the error or refund my money please!

False listings

Lists news papers but does not deliver i.e Oamaru Mail

NewZealand Newspapers

Newzealand newspapers excellent. Live in Aussie. Read every day. Totally up todate.
