The Guardian - Live World News

If its not in the Guardian it didn’t happen.

I LOVE reading the Guardian. Whenever something happens in the world I can trust the Guardian to explain to me what it means and what the implications are. Furthermore the columnists are such incredible writers that reading their text is pure enjoyment on its own on top of the insights that they offer 😊🙏🏻

Great app!

Great app-Great Guardian

Breaking news at your fingertips. You can even select which news groups to follow e.g. sports, breaking, business etc.

This app is one of the best.

I decided to subscribe as I read the Guardian every day and wanted to support it as well as doing the crosswords since that app has been decommissioned. Unfortunately the reading experience is quite disappointing compared to apps like Apple News. There are quite a few times when the app won't respond. Content is difficult to find and I have more content from the Australian edition than I would like to read (often without knowing the article relates to Australia until halfway through reading). There is no history of articles I've read making it difficult to refer back to something once it has moved in some content reorganisation. Some of the crosswords can't be completed in the app and a lot of the articles in the crossword section can't be opened but just display a list of crosswords instead of the article. I'm disappointed after spending £79.99 and not inclined to renew.

The app is decent

In the latest update, you can no longer put the homepage in your preferred order and, even if you “hide” sections, the banners remain. The new “My Guardian“ tab means having to log into separate places for articles of interest. And that tab does not seem to work properly in landscape mode. Why change something that used to work so well? Update 19 March: App now crashing regularly. And contrary to what some of the developer responses say, not all my home page sections were copied into My Guardian, though it took me a few days to realise this. Still far too many large white spaces on the home page. Was this update tested on real people? Update 9 August: crashing even more since last upgrade. So much for ‘improvements’.

App now has a paywall. Bye bye app
