NZ Herald’s new app - My Herald lets you personalise your news feed

Back in my day we read the paper on the porch with a cuppa, not this flamin' app nonsense. Kids these days can't even read a whole article without a notification popping up. Get off my lawn!

haha typical boomer take. go yell at a cloud why don't you.

at least I'm not glued to a wee screen all day like a zombie. Bet you can't even hold a conversation without checking your phone.

FFS another app that's gonna track everything I do. 'personalise my feed' = 'sell my data to advertisers'. Hard pass.

Stuff2026-06-18T01:15:39.000Z

nah, I'm with you mate. 'Personalisation' is just a fancy word for 'we're going to profile you to death'. Absolute bullshit.

Can we just have an app that loads faster than a week in Whakatane? The current one is shockin. Hope this one actually works.

Another 'revolutionary' update that will probably break all the existing features. Remember when the Herald site was simple? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Facts. Last 'update' made the app crash every time I tried to read an article about the council. Unreal.

Honestly as a student I just want to filter out all the paywalled crap and see the free stuff. That would be personalisation enough 😂

Exactly. If I wanted a feed full of celeb gossip I'd just go on Facebook. Let me pick local news and leave me alone.
