User Reviews

Top pros: fast navigable/readable on devices, strong Guardian journalism with broad coverage, and valuable subscription. Top cons: performance glitches, clunky UI post-update, access/subscription problems, readability on small screens, and edition fragmentation.

Pros

Fast, easy to navigate and readable interface, especially on iPad.
High-quality, balanced Guardian journalism with broad global coverage.
Subscription is valuable and worth the price for daily news.
Elegant, seamless UI that many users find pleasant to read.

Cons

Performance and reliability issues: frequent freezes, slow loads, and unreliable downloads/back-issues.
Post-update UI/UX problems: tiny text, hard to enlarge, sections download separately, awkward navigation.
Login/subscription access problems: inability to download/read due to subscription/login failures and weak support.
Readability/format challenges on small screens: newsprint-like layout with limited format options.
Edition fragmentation/misrepresentation: UK/Australia editions vs US coverage causes confusion and perceived neglect.

Recent reviews

The app consistently freezes up requiring a hardware reboot. Unimpressed.

I used to get everything automatically. Now I can’t figure out how to get more than a few. Poor. UI.

subscribe to the Guardian but not because of the app. Loading the paper is a chore that often takes 2-3 tries on a 2025 iPad Pro with fast internet. joys of paging through facsimile print are overrated, esp when each section has to be loaded separately
