I suspect that the 1 star reviews can be attributed to the far right. I just downloaded the app. It is incredibly easy to use, showing article headlines with the first sentence or 2 as I scroll down. None of my information has been requested from me. No special permissions were required. I don't even have ANY subscriptions. Something stinks and it sure isn't the Guardian.

*** This is about the app, not the content *** May 2025: The new version is a bit harder to navigate than before. But other than that, I don't see what's the big deal. June 2025: About navigation. Suppose I want to go to the football section. I have to: Tap "Menu"; scroll and tap "Sport"; tap "Football"; tap "view all football". (The last step is especially annoying.) No way to "bookmark" this (and the app does not remember my preferences).

UI since the redesign is poor. No customization and having the featured items at the top is terrible. It may work on the printed page or widescreen web page, but sucks on mobile. Now I can't even log in to my account, the app crashes as soon as I get past the password. I'm going to uninstall and stick to using the mobile browser for a while. Edited

Offline reading experience is terrible - PLEASE fix this! I guess maybe this is considered a niche feature these days, but when offline, when you click any article the screen just goes blank for 10-15 seconds, and you have to wait to see if it's downloaded or not. Surely the whole point of download for offline reading is that it should happen immediately! You must have a lot of people reading on the tube in London who want this fixed!

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your thoughts on the Guardian app, we genuinely appreciate it.
I've passed your message along to our development team, and I’m confident they’ll review it carefully as we continue to enhance the app.
Thank you again, and please keep an eye out for future updates.

Honest and accurate news. Just don't trust them with your credit card. I couldn't convert my free account to paid after multiple tries. A month later my wife surprised me with a paid upgrade but now it only works on her phone and I have no access to the paid subscription. I don't even have access to the free articles. In addition my wife can log into my paid subscription without even using my email or a password. I've tried contacting them almost a dozen times and they cannot fix it.
