The Guardian - Live World News

The Guardian app always used to provide its paying subscribers with full access without requiring them to ‘sign in’ with a ‘Guardian account’. Not anymore. The app now locks out its subscribers unless they log on, a process which facilitates the process of building user profiles. For a paper that so prides itself on its coverage of threatening and potentially dangerous power dynamics, this is highly disappointing.

Long time subscriber and this was my favorite news app.
Now with this update, all my custom sections on the home screen is gone. No more option to customize. Can’t delete unwanted sections from the home page. Lots of unwanted banners that cannot be removed or hidden.
New section “my guardian” can perhaps replace this, but I have to find all sections I had before on the home screen.
Live timeline is gone.

I have been a paying Guardian subscriber since the app launched many years ago. Now the app tells me I can’t access offline content as I have no subscription. Very poor app design. I cancelled my subscription to match the apps message.

Removed the app after they introduced to ask to ‘sign in to read’. What a waste.

Whatever the news reported in The Guardian, there is always another article that provides you with a balancing message.

While I understand that good journalism isn’t free, making the app paywalled while still providing the same content for free on the website (which works fine on a mobile browser) just doesn’t make sense. Reason enough for me to stop using this app.

I have serious concerns about the Guardian’s adherence to some important universal values, particularly regarding human rights and decolonization. The coverage of conflicts, especially in the Middle East, lacks balance. They tend to humanize one side while reducing the oppressed and the colonized group, to mere numbers and statistics. It is a clear deviation from objective and impartial reporting. It is inhumane.

Sorry, I left my iPad Pro 2022 at home, this morning. When I returned, the battery had 10% energy left. Battery history showed it was charged to 100% until 7 AM and was used for awhile and the left alone and had a linear decline, which my iPad attributed to the Guardian app for 91%. I had opened the app a week ago and it was still running in the background. I like the Guardian, but not so much when it drains my battery.

Cannot believe the level of antisemitism and idiocy from this platform. It is unacceptable, and the recent Hamas terror makes it clear how bad the journalism is.

Partisan & Not Documented. No Russian / Nit aligned sources. No casualties mentioned on the UKR side while sources estimate their losses in the 100 000’s. Should this be true everyone by his right mind would demand immediate end of the fight against UKR.
Why don’t I read articles with Lavrov and President Putin. Why this Russiafobia?

Since the latest update I can no longer login, even though the update was supposedly done to fix precisely that problem. This is not what I’m paying for.

The articles are free to read on the web, but now you have to pay 12€ per month to use the app. I’m happy to support somehow because the guardian is amazing and I used to read it every day, but this is quite a high price just to use the app. It’s really great but is no longer functional for me as I reached my article quota, so I deleted it. Thanks anyway for the great journalism!

De krant waakt over de waarheid in de wereld. Neutraal en op wetenschappelijk onderzoek gebaseerd doen de medewerkers verslag..soms pijnlijk en ingewikkeld zoals het leven is.
Gelukkig is er ook ruimte voor cultuur, verdieping en humor.
De laatste uitgaven van musici, theater en schrijvers volgt de krant kritisch.

As an expat living in Holland, the guardian has for years been my goto for keeping up with the news. I like their journalistic style and relative unbiased opinions. It’s a shame then that the app is moving has moved to pay to view. I’m on the “beta” kinda thing for the app - wait 30 days to view a next article ? I can read for free on your browser page - what is this ? I’ll happily support, but your fees are worse than streaming services

Updated the app and now all my saved articles are lost. First it asked me to log in to see them, only problem being i was already logged in. Now it simply says there is no article saved. Can this be fixed?

Always one or two layers deeper than the usual news items in other magazines. With well-balanced long reads.
The good thing about the app is: you don’t notice it so you can focus on the content.

Journalists write in a way I love, they tell how it is and without stupid media “made up scripture” about events from the past and today, sometimes I read an article that draws my attention, I always seem to learn from it or end up looking at subject from a different angle. Don’t change please , living in Holland for 35 years is great but you guy’s keep me in contact with the British sense of thinking , thanks.

I am based in The Netherlands. Stories about internal (politica) events are of secondary interest only . Around € 100 a year is too much for what I am interested in. I can read the NYT for much less. Maybe pay per view is an idea?
