My LG P500 is low on space so i have had to look at deleting some apps. In doing so, I noticed that the NZ Herald app is a whopping 8.39gb, whereas the stuff app is only a mere 1.44gb! Is there any reason why the Herald app needs to be nearly 6 times the size of the competing stuff app? Is this just a case of sloppy programming? At any rate, it looks like out it has to go, and I will be going back to the Herald mobile page on the web.
Hi I have had this issue with the Herald app. Having had a look rhrough settings, manage applications. it appears that the app is 788kb. The remainder appears to be how the app caches Data. I find that if I go in through the Settings/ Applications/ Manage applications and clear both Data and cache it keeps the app at a manageable size.
To be honest I don't bother with those apps because if you can browse the full site, why wouldn't you? I find the news aren't as up to date via the apps.
Interestingly it's the other way round on an iPhone. The Stuff app is whooping 85.9MB and is the second largest app I have (the largest is Wellibus). The Herald app is 33.8MB.
The Herald App is great on the iPad (as you can load it up in the morning via wifi and then read it offline on the bus), but as above, I find it useless on the iPhone.
Vivasanti: ...the websites are ALWAYs updated before the app, rendering them useless imo :|

There's an app for that: web browser. You can have bookmarks and access to a multitude of web sites, even more than what apps can provide. And using less memory.

And I recommend Dolphin Browser. Quick and easy access to bookmarks.
