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

    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.

  • Love Guardian; Hate the redesign

    It’s supposed to be a print news app not a “giant picture more important” news app. I hate the new top banner of banal stories repeated further down. I block opinion and sport and yet you think I want to see “more sport” and “more opinion”?? (Why do those sections even exist?) I hate having to go to my account to block sections. I hate the quick prioritization of not-news features over the actual news - is Millennial angst or Waller-Bridge’s Octopus story really above-the-fold important? It’s like the Guardian designers saw the crapification of BBC News and did it worse. What’s next? Stories that stay for weeks and weeks?

  • Solid News Source, Great App

    By philozopher
    The Guardian is one of the few sources of news I read. I don't have time to read a lot, so when I get to read news I prefer it be from a reliable, reputable source. Well worth the time, and worth a subscription. If only I could get a part delivered in California. Update 2025-05-08: I love the new design and addition of puzzles! The play could be a little more smooth, but is good enough in current form. Sudoku! My subscription is worth every penny!

  • New release freezes on the What's New page. No way to get beyond it.

    New release freezes on the What's New page. No way to get beyond it. Still love your work.

  • How can I go back to former version?

    By BrookhavenKJM
    I don’t like the new format. I want news. With this format the first thing on the screen is someone’s experience with an internet troll. And I can’t get it to go away. I customized the selection list. There is no category to delete which would remove inane articles such as that social media sad story.

  • Ugh…why must you change the appearance?

    By really911
    I dislike the new layout. Change for the sake of change. Why do app developers feel the need to change something that works so well? What’s the point? I won’t be renewing.

  • Awful mandatory sign-in

    By grandgeezer
    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.

  • Have to sign in to view content

    By CVallMCO
    Don’t believe them when they say their content is free, now you have to create an account to view any articles. Sorry but no, I’ll get my news somewhere else, they don’t need my email address and to track me just to read their articles. I actually would have considered donating to them but not anymore!

  • App doesn’t work well with Bluesky

    By swarcher
    I love the Guardian, but its app needs some adjustments. Whenever I try to share articles through Bluesky, it brings over the headline but not the link. :(
