Terrible interface, doesn't have all the NZ papers, and advertisements... ### 1/5 — Dandi *2012-11-28, version 1.1* App does less than when purchased. Not Wat it used to be! No Sunday papers as originally wen first used in October ### 1/5 — False advertising *2012-09-09, version 1.1* 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! ### 2/5 — False listings *2012-08-31, version 1.1* Lists news papers but does not deliver i.e Oamaru Mail ### 2/5 — Old news *2012-03-24, version 1.1* Brought this app and then deleted it, the news was old and took ages to flick through etc, will go back to free news apps instead ( stuff, nz herald etc) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not working *2017-01-19* App does not open any news papers at all. ### 1/5 — Don't Buy *2016-12-13, version 2.2* Terrible app. Can't believe I wasted money on this. Would love a refund back ### 1/5 — This app is not worth the $2.59 - buy a coffee *2014-12-06, version 2.2* The news articles for all papers, except the NZ Herald and Stuff.co, are very old. ### 1/5 — Poor quality *2013-07-28, version 2.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2013-07-16, version 2.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Waste of money! *2013-06-22* Total waste of money. ### 1/5 — Useless *2013-05-20, version 2.1* I can't see the point of this app, it gives headlines and nothing else ### 1/5 — Poor *2013-03-31* While using this app I was take to porno sites. Not appreciated, especially for a paid app. ### 1/5 — 3 lines news only *2013-02-26, version 2.1* All you get is about 3 lines per story. Even on the stuff part. No way to even link up with more story ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2013-02-21, version 2.1* 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 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Otago Daily Times *2013-02-02* 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! ### 5/5 — Ads on paid version *2013-01-29, version 2.0.2* 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. ### 5/5 — NewZealand Newspapers *2012-08-19, version 1.1* Newzealand newspapers excellent. Live in Aussie. Read every day. Totally up todate. ### 5/5 — Best friend on an Oz mine site *2012-08-02* Great way to keep up with events in Godzone. Second best site only to the one paying the bills. ### 5/5 — totally worths it *2012-04-22, version 1.1* excellent app, use it everyday. I can read quickly all the news and further in detail if i want more. ### 5/5 — Cool *2011-10-17* Great way to keep in touch with Nz news ### 5/5 — Best nz paper site ever *2011-06-07* Thank you for letting us over in oz help keep in touch of the goings in nz ### 4/5 — Solid app, easy to customise *2014-12-06, version 2.2* 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. ### 3/5 — Okay App *2012-07-22, version 1.1* I would love an NZ newspaper provide a daily paper in a mobile format - I would subscribe. This is the next best thing for the price. ### 2/5 — Great idea, actual practice isn't great *2013-04-27, version 2.1* 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. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
