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.

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
