The Guardian - UK & World News

Since a few days I’ve to reinstall the app again and again when I want to use it. When closing it and then reopen it I see only a black screen. Frustrating.

In ‘My Guardian’ when select ‘latest view’ there’s nothing.
However when select ‘topic view’ all my follow topics are there.
Mysteries…
Fixable bug?

A newspaper with well balance news and in depth analysis. They do their utmost best to order the chaos of the world in a manner as neutral as possible. Their opinion prices are razor sharp.

The Guardian’s journalists do great work, but an unscrupulous marketing team appears to be in charge of the app. The app requires way too many permissions. I would subscribe if the app wasn’t such a privacy nightmare.
Two stars for the content, zero stars for the app.

Can’t read anything without registering and signing in. Instantly deleted the app.

Need to sign in to read anything now. The app’s App Store privacy card doesn’t explain this.

The slogan couldn’t be more true - having a well-researched perspective on all urgent matters from the entire world, with focus on UK, Europe and US, The Guardian is THE reference to gage the truth of stories. Funded entirely by donations, without billionaire owners makes their reporting unbiased - a rarity these days.

Love to get a grasp of the UK and world news through this app. Would be 5* if it also allowed landscape mode on the iPhone.
2024-June: very much intrigued that the new section ‘My Guardian’ is almost impossible to switch (iPad) between ‘Followed’ and ‘Saved’. Please fix.

Guardian very Good newspaper and i would Like to continue reading it.
but how can I subscribe as a Dutchman with a ING bank account?

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.
