I fully appreciate that the NZ Herald deserves to be paid for its products. I live in Australia and subscribe to The Australian. As a Kiwi I’m interested in NZ news but really just want a paragraph or two of headlines and items of interest. The Herald app to date has served this purpose admirably but I am not prepared to pay for the Premium subscription you are currently advertising ($11 for the first month and about $22 thereafter). I don’t object to a reasonable amount of advertising if the service is otherwise free. Thanks for a great app over a number of years now that has been free to date. I simply feel that if I am to continue to use the app mostly for headlines it needs to be better priced (e.g. free with some advertising). However, I wish you well whatever way you go.Mike
Expat: Great to get news from home.!

As a Kiwi living in Perth it is great to still feel connected via the NZ Herald app... it provides current news from home, and in most cases allows local news videos to be viewed... that it is free is also a bonus, and while there are adds, they don’t intrude on my ability to peruse the news without interruption Thanks, this is a great app 5 Stars.! 👍
Screen non ability to adjust

I find that the ability not to be able to change font size and also the back ground really annoying. If you want to read along with other people in the dark with out have a bright screen shining up the room you cannot. The font is to small on mobile normal phone size unless you have a super size screen phone which is not everyone desire.When overseas a lot of videos are not playable. Should have an ability to write directly to author/editor on article. Lots if room for improvement. Seems to be reporting with a political view and position rather than neutral.

HiI find your headlines which run together confusing. Some captions should not be with the pictures as they go against each other and appear to void the news items - show as being thoughtless. Have only come across ‘new podcast’ and it’s really good.Go the Herald 2025 - the world is being shaken up!Always liked the NZ Herald. Section called Premium that you can only fully read if you are a subscriber. Do young people read the Herald, teenagers,those in their 20s…? When articles relate to well-being/mental health that can help people, don’t section those articles off so they cannot be read in full. It may just be the link needed for some to take a moment to reconnect and change their mind to look forward to a longer path in life… hopefully a brighter/better path Thank you
