Tell your developers to have a look at CNN or BBC. These sites work, without long delays. A VERY amateurish effort.

This app is just so flakey and unreliable. Regular freezing and blacking out. Ever since their refresh and relaunch it has been unreliable…. That and the increasing presence of intrusive advertising just makes me give up and stop contributing. Very poor effort Stuff.

Upgrade to Stuff website seems to be a flop

Stuff is not working properly for any of us no matter which device we are using. When it is loading it just 'jumps around' all over the place and if we manage to load an article it jumps out of the article after only reading a couple of sentences and then bombards us with the Stuff logo and/or login page and/or adverts! Why 'upgrade' something that was working fine for everyone in the first place? Looking for an alternative news website - maybe Big Project News or something.

I can’t be the only person who is turning away in frustration at the difficulties getting stories to load on the new Stuff site. Guys, it’s been a week, and I’m about to give up and desert you forever. Please get this fixed - or at least let us punters know what’s happening.

Since the refresh, it is slow to load on my iPad and iPhone, the page is. It as easy to navigate and frequently freezes or has a blank screen. Will have to find another news site as it’s not working for me now. Quizzes are hard to find for previous days, and often crash. Cannot read a full story as the story freezes

Usually use Stuff on my iPad with little difficulty (occasional glitches). Since update a few days ago it is terrible. Can usually load one story but next will not load, reverts to purple logo endlessly whirring away. Have to shut down the app to load another story.

None of the links identified by Admin work. All still display the same purple screen with large S. Come on Stuff developers sort it out. In this day and age to have so many people from around the world not able to access your website is just incompetent. How can you have screwed it up so badly?

Stuff is stuffed

Stuff website is “stuffed”. Get purple screen with ‘S’ displayed forever. Happens on iPhone, iPad, MacBook pro. Tried with Firefox and Safari - no go. Cleared cache etc., still no go. Obviously they rushed the roll out of new format and failed to carry out any viable performance testing - probably skimpy unit and functional testing as well. Not good getting software tested in production. Stuff is stuffed.

Access Denied to Old Quizzes

I used to be able to access previous quizzes by searching for, e.g. "Quiz: Morning trivia challenge: August 22, 2023" then clicking on the result ... now all I get is "Access denied on this server". Ongoing for at least a month ... I guess they don't want people doing anything other than that day's quiz? :/

I can access Stuff on my cell phone but I am cblocked on my computer. I contunuously clear my browsing history but the problem keeps persisting. It is also annoying as this clears all of my passwords to other sites. I will consider stopping my subscription to Stuff as I also object to the overly long password requirement.
