App used to be great. Now there is a hard limit unless you pay $100+ a year. The website is still free. Deleting the app.

Sign in still doesn’t work

UPDATE / April 22, 2024: One year later, still having the same log in issues on iOS. Web login works. The new design is disappointing. The layout breaks badly, with some smaller articles’ pictures aligning to the bottom of some larger articles’ pictures, causing huge empty gaps between the article title and it’s picture. Why repeating the most read at the bottom of every page? It’s annoying, and serves no purpose. Way better to have recommendations for related articles, than the same list over and over and over. Can’t we check the most read in the Most Read section anymore? I used to read on the app on the iPhone and iPad every day, multiple times a day. With the persisting login issues, that’s not possible anymore. A pity. The app design and functionality doesn’t match the quality of the journalism anymore. UPDATE / April 5, 2023: I’ve updated to the latest version of the app that says log out issues were fixed, but ot still doesn’t work for me: My steps: 1. Delete the app 2. Download the app again 3. Sign in with email + password 4. Successfully logged in 5. Close the app 6 Open the app - the app asks me to log in again 7. Trying to log in using email + pass = getting a Something went wrong message, and a suggestion I might have changed my credentials 8. Go to 1 Meanwhile, I am successfully logged in on my iPad, and FF on iPhone SE 2021, iOS is up to date. Feel free to reach out if you need more info or want me to test, but please fix. —- Since having been forcibly logged out of the app after the new sign-in update a few weeks back, I haven’t been able to sign into the app again. I was hoping this update will address that, but alas, I still being greeted with the Something went wrong error message. I have no issues signing in on the iPad app and on desktop. I am a paying subscriber, so this issue is getting quite annoying. Can’t read The Guardian on the go anymore. It’s been weeks now. Kindly fix, please!

Guardian can do better

I doubt anyone that matters reads this, but at least I have somewhere to vent. As a full paying member, I can not understand why I am constantly logged out of my Guardian account on my IOS devices. I am forced to to log in on numerous occasions. And if that is not enough, you are constantly being prompted about privacy settings. If I did not like the journalism, there is no way I would continue to pay for using this app. I fully support the Guardian and it’s mission. I have been paying for it for years and support independent journalism. But really? As far as app development, I feel you can do better and paying subscribers deserve better.

New design terrible

Can’t load new photo-heavy design. Have to keep deleting and re-installing. Love the Guardian but won’t pay for this.

Why did you move Live off the homescreen??

cbcjjf on

Canada

I read the guardian on my phone throughout the day. The feature I use most is “Live” which used to be at the bottom of the screen when you open the app. Now you have to tap Menu to find it and it’s been replaced by “MyGuardian” which I will never ever use. Booooooooo.

Disappearing images

Why do the larger photos on the left of the screen disappear when one scrolls down or attempts to open the article?
