The Guardian Reviews

Overpriced

cactushackedus on

United States

$75/year for a news app is insane. Do some market research and pricing optimization—$75 is not the sweet spot you think it is.

Subs too expensive

Toomanybarts on

United States

Everyone’s wanting a subscription now and yes quality news costs, but sorry $67 / yr is too much. $50 I’ll do it. You’re not alone - The LA Times wants $200 / yr ! And the NY Times wants $250, but at least they do a $50 / yr for your first year!May as well pay $10 / month for Apple news. Even the NY Times has a Black Friday offer for $50 though. Come on people, why don’t you try it and see how many more people would bite?! Ps. The subs you offer are a mess : the “All access digital” sub doesn’t inc Guardian Essentials app! Or you could subscribe for cheaper in the “Guardian Live” app for exactly the same content. You guys are great at news, but you need a new head of Digital Business Development as your pricing is all over the shop!!

Beware update

untempered on

United States

They now make you register to read anything. Even though I just sent them a gift of $125.00. I am not interested in being followed as an individual.

one of the few trustworthy newspapers in existence

swonn on

United States

Excellent investigative journalism, and opinion articles with clear sources and contextual proof for news an international team reports worldwide. Independent journalism with full integrity thus objectivity, seem only possible if there's no stakeholder agenda laying underneath. All media owned by billionaires and/or wealthy shareholders have pivoted to infotainment and sensationalism to keep their audiences glued to their platforms ; that is in the best cases… in the worst case those platforms have become propaganda machines for the political agendas of their owners.

Poor quality 😔

goodsasha on

United States

The app is clanky; it lags and gets stuck all the time ; the content is produced by amateurs; subscription extraction paywall is almost on all articles. That’s sad, I still like to read conventional media and try to avoid social networks 😔

Often freezes

cbh_ on

United States

Often freezes and remains unresponsive for 5-10 seconds when attempting to scroll or click. iPadOS on M1. Update: deleted the app; at least the website doesn’t stall.

No family sharing!

whateverwerks on

United States

My husband and I discussed whether to subscribe to the Guardian. We both like the paper so we decided to do it. Now he has access and I get constant ads to subscribe. No family sharing? That is beyond egregious. It will be a cold day you-know-where before we have TWO $70 subscriptions to a newspaper. If we were able to get home delivery, we’d be able to share the paper. We will not be renewing our annual subscription. Even the NYT allows two people to share.

Unusable

Sbramm on

United States

After requiring account setup, app will not allow login. A shame because this was such a great app prior.

Not great for Crosswords

BadWolf359r on

United States

Really miss the (discontinued) crosswords app, which was supposedly integrated into this app….but the functionality and user experience is well below expectations comparatively. Won’t be renewing until this is significantly improved.
