Stuff is so biased

Stuff is so biased towards the Left-wing, pro-Maori perspective that it has lost all objectivity and credibility, and is entirely untrustworthy. I have stopped viewing it.

Mobile app sucks

Reinstalled the mobile app. Mobile app still sucks. Uninstalled.
Maybe add an option to choose the legacy UI?

Awful

Honestly , I’ve never used such a terrible app in all my life. Buggy as hell, riddled with return to top commands in the coding. The developers think they are being smart by doing this , but everyone I’ve spoken to have got rid of the Stuff app within minutes of installing it. Utter junk. Hang your heads in shame

They give you 5% of the news story on their website, then you have to log in to read the rest of the story. But to register (just to watch their news) they want your email address & phone number - obviously so they can sell such infomation on to advertisers & Spammers. Don't waste your time with Stuff when there are far better comprehensive & free news websites in NZ.

Absolutely rubbish now

Absolutely rubbish now. Extremely hard to navigate and you now have to sign in to read articles. Used to love the stuff app but now the news is more about a neighbour painting a fence an offensive colour rather than the actual issues happening around the world. Wars happening everywhere and stuffs top story is who the All Blacks 1st 5 is. I have deleted the app.

I struggle with the Stuff website

I struggle with the Stuff website. Ads are constantly popping up or down the page - jumping in front of what I am reading or to the side. I have really bad eyesight, sensitive eyes and this is no longer accessible to me. My eyes hurt and I have a head ache within a couple of minutes. It’s like trying to read a book while someone’s constantly flashing strobe lights in your face and shaking the pages around.

This app is a total waste of time

This app is a total waste of time. First - never loads properly, flicks around and then jams on an advert on which no amount of hitting the X will get rid of it. The quiz pages are a disaster - you have to keep signing in even when you logged in the first time. Rubbish!

Absolutely terrible app to use now, especially on mobile device - super frustrating. My poor 88 year old father who really enjoyed his morning 2 hour browsing of Stuff has just given up completely. It’s a very un-user friendly format. Such a shame, its getting more and more difficult to read, listen, watch what our current affairs are in NZ.

Terrible site now

Terrible site now. So much advertising and links that don't work to news items. Am almost at the stage of removing the stuff bookmark as have had enough of being asked to support, along with half title page adverts, plus tired of reading headlines and clicking to read only to get an error message that it may have moved..
They need to sort themselves out, and soon..
