Looks like its officially released. http://www.stuff.co.nz/ top right of the page and in the market.

Edit: Or maybe I just didnt notice it before on Stuff?

It's been out for just under the month on the market I think, I've had it since mid April. Maybe they wanted a few people to use it before they began publicising it. It's a nice app, my preferred news app - Although everyone has differing opinions.

Haven't noticed that little ad for it on the website before, but then it's hardly the first place I look on stuff.

I'd be interested to hear any feedback as to whether the Android version is buggy and crashy. The iOS version is basically unusable.

Forget I piped up. I'm way behind the times. Went to the other thread. Didn't know you could now view stuff from the phone but they've also got an app. Back I go to my dark corner for another nap ;)

I used to use Stuff and the m.stuffsite worked well on my browser without any need for an app. I now use the nzherald site it seems to be a much better site for news etc and it works very well on my browser, plus no one is keeping tabs on me either.

Because calling it m.stuff is not hip. Don't you know it's i for everything these days. Almost makes you want to puke doesn't it.

There is an m.stuff that just shows the headlines and the i.stuff adds a bit more content

For some reason this bugs me to no end. It's not the only thing stuff.co.nz do that irks me. I think I should stop visiting.

Mine's pretty stable as well. Just ocassionally it forgets where it is and exits the app. I do agree the earliest versions were not that great, but all seems pretty good with it now.
