  • Deceptive billing

    1
    By Gigi_Wasabi
    The Guardian is compartmentalizing “memberships” and “subscriptions,” under the same account/log-in, resulting in double billing. Additionally, the app subscription will be tied to your “device” not your Apple ID, so if you get a new iPhone, the subscription will not carry over. I know this sounds crazy and I must be mistaken but look it up, it’s true!

  • Deleting - Now requires an account

    By not the app your looking for
    The Guardian used to be a go to app for impartial journalism & confidentiality - not any more. The only reason any app/website requires an account is to track, profile or profit from their users interests. There are plenty of other sources of news, bye bye Guardian.

  • Prompts you to enable notifications

    The content appears to be good, but every time you go back to the main page you are prompted to enable notifications. This alone is a no go for me. This app has been deleted!

  • I want to love this, but

    Is it ‘working as intended’ when I have to close a popup asking me to enable notifications every single time I go back to the main page after reading a story?

  • Definitely some formatting issues

    I'm not sure this is the app for me. There are too many formatting issues. Column is formed with literally five letters. Very difficult to read.

  • Useless - mandatory sign-in

    I’d kept a subscription going to support one of the few non-rubbish news sources, but it seems they will prioritise customer profiling and the generation of marketing intelligence in their cash flow model so maybe they don’t need subscribers. Apparently you can be the customer *and* the product at the same time. I’ve cancelled my subscription. Sadly, that still means last 8 month of subscription down the drain. You can read headlines. Then again, you don't need the app for that. C-

  • Doesn't work for me

    I subscribe to the digital Guardian, however much of the time, I'm following a link shared in Discord or on Mastodon. When I open these links in Safari, I can use the Listen to Page option to have Siri read it to me. I was excited to receive the email saying that the new version now had audio support. I downloaded the new version righe away. The very first link I followed did not have a link to audio, and when I picked Audio from the navigation menu, it took me to a menu of audio content. I immediately deleted the app, though I was unable to reply to the email I'd received, as it was sent from an unmonitored address. I'm not lazy, I'm low-vision. And the app still doesn't work for me.

  • You botched up the football section

    Very disappointing reorganization of the football section - before I could just tap on matches or tables but now those submenus have disappeared. PLEASE bring them back. Thanks.

  • Whats new? It doesn’t work on ipad mini

    By Waynegal
    I updated. Now the app gives me a “whats new” that i can’t get rid of and covers 2/3 of the page. The Guardian is great but don’t update until they fix this bug.

  • Redesign gets an F.🔥❌ Newspaper still an A+! ✅💯

    UPDATED. Glad to be reminded of the Edit Home Page in Settings! It lets us remove sections that don't have a Hide button — and even better, to delete them entirely from the screen! 1️⃣ We're still disappointed in the new design, though. You've abandoned a clean, inviting, headline-news focused layout that had variety. Imposing a scrolling set of articles and columnists at the top was distracting, especially as there wasn't a Hide button or a reminder of the Settings option to delete it. We want news headlines, not photos of columnists! Fortunately, we can delete that section entirely.✅ ——>> 2️⃣ Overall, the new layout suffers from being too square — an industrial two-column, standardized grid that's off-putting — and hardly in the The Guardian spirit! The names of the topics — and the titles of opinion pieces — are now in a lighter, weaker, smaller font that's harder to read. There's also too much white space around the headlines and blurbs. The old layout was far more readable, newspaper-like, and inviting ——>> 3️⃣ You still don't let us add our own sections to the Home page! I would like Astronomy & Science there, but no go. The My Guardian tab is not an alternative as it remains a page-spanning left-right, uniform, blocky design rather than a newspaper layout. ——>> 4️⃣ Using the “Hide” button to hide *YOUR* predetermined sections on the Home page remains makeshift. It still leaves a page-spanning banner with the section's name! Worse, several of your PRE-CHOSEN sections — e.g., “More Features” “More Sports” — don't even have a Hide button! They're still there even when we *hide* “Features” or “Sports”! In what world does that make sense? Here, again, the Edit Home Page option comes to the rescue. Yay! ✅ ——>> 5️⃣ However, from that settings page, we should be able to reorder sections as we see fit. Please respect your readers and let us customize the Home page to our liking! ———>> 6️⃣ Overall, The Guardian remains a fantastic, informative, high quality newspaper — it's being undermined, however, by the app's industrial layout and need for greater customizability.
