Is NU.nl down right now?
Readers who meet a frozen front page or a dead live blog check the NU.nl status first. NU.nl down reports climb when the app stalls on its start screen. They also rise when a live blog stops moving or NUjij will not load under an article.
On a normal day the app opens on fresh headlines in seconds and rebuilds the front page as stories land. One stuck part, like video or comments, points to that part alone and not to a full NU.nl outage.
Is NU.nl down for me or everyone?
Open nu.nl in your phone browser while the app still hangs. Fresh headlines there clear your connection and point at the app build on your phone. When the browser fails in the same way, the fault sits with NU.nl itself and waiting is the only cure.
Why does my NUjij comment never show up?
Every NUjij comment passes a check before it goes live, so a fresh reaction can stay hidden for a while on a busy thread. Comments that break the house rules never appear at all, and the poster gets no warning when that happens.
You also need a signed-in DPG account before the box will post at all. A session that quietly expired can swallow a typed comment when the page reloads, which feels like the comment was deleted by hand.
Can I read NU.nl articles offline in the app?
Yes, the app keeps the text of articles you opened, so a story stays readable in a train tunnel or a plane cabin. Open each piece before you leave, because a story that never loaded cannot be stored for later.
Why does a video on NU.nl jump to its own screen?
Clips play in a separate player screen instead of inside the article text. One tap takes you away from your place in the story. The back button brings you back to the same paragraph in most app builds.
How do I stop NU.nl push alerts from flooding my phone?
Open the alert settings inside the app and switch off the topics you never open, such as show news or football. Breaking news has its own switch, so the big stories can stay while the rest goes quiet.
Common NU.nl Problems and Fixes
Most NU.nl faults clear with a quick reset, so work through these steps before you reinstall anything.
Restart the NU.nl app fully
Swipe the app away from your recent apps and open it again from its icon.
Sign in again for NUjij
Log out of your DPG account inside the app, then sign back in.
Clear the cache of the app
On Android, open the app info for NU.nl and clear its cache from the storage screen.
Update the app in your store
Install the newest NU.nl build from the App Store or Google Play. Start crashes and player faults are fixed through these updates, and an old build simply keeps the bug alive.
Rebuild your alert topics
Switch every push topic off, close the app, then turn on only the topics you follow. This clean reset often ends double alerts and alerts that land hours late.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do when the NU.nl app shows a blank front page?
Close the app fully and open it again from the icon.
How do I post a reaction under an article?
Tap the reaction button under the article and sign in with your DPG account. Your text then passes the NUjij check before it appears in the thread for other readers.
Why did my alerts stop when I changed phones?
Alerts belong to the install, not to your account.
Is NU.nl free to read without an account?
Yes, the news itself is free and articles open without any login. You only need an account to react through NUjij or to keep personal settings between visits.
Does the app work outside the Netherlands?
The site and app open fine abroad, and articles plus live blogs load as usual. A single video can still refuse on rights grounds while the text around it works.
Can I follow one subject closely in the app?
Yes, subject pages gather every story on a theme in one feed of their own.
