Stuff Arvostelua 

Since moving to NZ from Europe where there is an excellent range of online news websites, looked forward to viewing Stuff here in NZ.
What a disappointment - so left winged, Anti ruling party and lately, Anti Wellington. I've lived in Wellington for 18 months and what a great vibe it has but the Auckland based Stuff at every opportunity seem hell bent on putting such a negative spin on the capital.
Recent articles of a cafe closing; most places in NZ at the moment are experiencing this in the economic downturn, the lower than normal temperatures for January "worse summer start in decades", yet the number of sunshine hours for January 2025 was only 8 hours down for the average by the 14/1/25.
Most of the year I'm wearing summer clothes here in Wellington!
House prices in Wellington - The largest drop from peak values yet had the highest gain from the main centres.
Me thinks Stuff wants Auckland to be the capital of NZ where their base is.
Other reasons to turn off from Stuff - look at articles long enough and then get bombarded with rubbish ads or cut you off with one paragraph and then try and get you to create an account in order to log in and read - no thanks!
A friend told me about RNZ online and now a complete convert - great impartial news articles with no ads or the need to recreate an account.

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.

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

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

Disappointed with their motoring section.Stuff clearly have a hard time accepting their are better brands out there than Toyota.

very biased service. Pity, I used to like it for being quite neutral.

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.

Lloyd Burr is better news reader than Sam on 3, doesn't say Teo Maori, good on ya Lloyd, plus easy to understand,
Can't understand half of what Sam says with that put on voice

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. 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.

A woke, far left echo-chamber.

The new app is slow glitching and now prefer others for daily news. Their software developers really need to sort this out!

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!

I concur with all the negative comments on here. I have been moaning about it to my wife about it for ages. Im sure most users would agree but dont take the time to give the feedback.

6pm news.. no more Maori words no one wants to hear it..no sam hayes no stupid sports guy, weather not as good as tv1 give more detail be more serious like 1950's no more woke bs..bring back Mike McRoberts!! More world news less sports

Too many ads and too many requests for money. Somebody must be making a fortune.

I can’t believe , it’s actually worse now. What company would allow so many complaints but do nothing about it.

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.

The stuff website is garbage. Sloooooow. I've had enough and won't be using it anymore. Herald, Radio NZ website are fine. Bye bye stuff
