The Guardian - Live World News for Positive User Reviews

Reliable, Pertinent, Professional and Desperately NeededIn these “fact free” times where many celebrate, encourage, create and disseminate misinformation, The Guardian is one of the few remaining beacons of evidence and research in this world. I use multiple sources of information to try to confirm news and information for myself. The Guardian is at the top of my list for reliability and pertinence. The Guardian also gets high points for the increasing courage required in these threatening times as one attempts to seek the truth. I appreciate that the Guardian doesn’t try to distract me with trivial entertainment type fluff stories..Version: 6.8

Best balanced newsAn excellent site which brings a measured and detailed perspective to news and views. An antidote to the opinionated, populist right wing media so prevalent today..Version: 11.7

Pity about self-enrichment by trustees but great journos!I’m a strong believer in non-corporatist media. Sources like NewsCorpse deliver political messaging desired by their billionaire proprietors. Instead The Guardian is run as a blind trust. My only concern is that long-term, it needs contributions from readers, and presently those controlling the trust concentrate on self-enrichment - paying themselves what the think they would earn if one of Murdoch’s national bosses (even though such henchmen are routinely thrown out). Any public charity where those running it are diverting donations to pay over-the-top salaries & benefits to the few, will encounter a pushback, and it is time that happened at Guardian management. They should put out to tender all senior salaried roles, as many in media would be keen to support charity, without draining it as much. On the other hand, the journos are not overpaid and do an excellent job!.Version: 9.8

Steven ZindelSo thankful that the Guardian exists as a shining light in the midst of other media crowded with shoddy analysis and poorly researched features. The range and depth of the articles in the Guardian is outstanding and always provides a talking point at work or over a few whiskies with friends. Keep up the good work. I’m a GW subscriber but love the digital platform too..Version: 6.7

The bigger pictureI began my new world of online phone reading of the Guardian and other news services in 2020 when, just as the bushfires finished and Covid struck, I found myself with a sold home and an acquired responsibility for a beloved aged family member who was going into dementia. I could secure a temporary home for her, but ended up renting a tiny room, 2.9 m2 square plus bathroom for myself, albeit with a kind stranger… The Guardian became my intellectual stimulus and challenge when I woke up, and my solace and cultural joy before bedtime. My worldview has expanded, my preconceptions confronted. In the 2 years of a suspended life, awaiting the building of a home for my dependent and myself, I learned to grapple with new perspectives and hitherto unrecognised realities. I grew to appreciate the nuances of truth, and the array of persuasive advocacy of world class journalists who are passionate, aware, and bold in their reporting. Finally ensconced in our new home in December 2022, I am addicted to The Guardian. There was -an is - a Bigger Picture. Thank you!.Version: 11.30.1

The bestA great source for news outside North America. The only press I support through thick and thin (my own). The Guardian is the best..Version: 11.39

The Guardian is real newsPlease support accurate and in-depth reporting. The Guardian reports from an international perspective, covering world events that are often not picked-up by US news sources. Also; a wide variety of news stories, public interest, and social topics are covered. While their free coverage is broad everyone must accept that The Guardian, (And NYT & WAPO amongst others), must still pay the bills in order to function. So; please provide financial support by buying a paid subscription. [I; in no part, have any business dealings with this or other news sources. I do believe in paying my share]..Version: 7.8

The Guardian…Superb. Easy to navigate, clear and best of all - objective (ish), quality reporting across an extremely wide array of everything.Version: 11.5.1

Quality journalismAs a traveler for 6 months a year in Europe each year the Guardian keeps us up to date We enjoy your quality journalism and wide ranging topics In comparison to our local paper in the South Pacific.Version: 8.2

Best news source and principlesI will definitely subscribe to guardian after i get a proper income, they gave so much value to everyone for free.Version: 11.35

Best news sourceLove the Guardian for its integrity and the fantastic coverage. The journalists ask the hard questions and they don't kowtow to political powers. Keep up the great work.Version: 8.26

The cost is prohibitiveIf I want to vary my reading, I cannot pay over $150 for every news outlet I like. NYT and WAPO both offer annual subscriptions under $40 (if you try to cancel), and I just got a year of the Economist for $100, and I consider them the gold standard. I really like the Guardian, but I can’t justify paying 50% more than what I pay for the Economist. How does my price complaining relate to the app? Well, the app generously lets you read for free, but constantly reminds you that you are reading free. Every single article comes with an overlay telling you how many articles you have read at their expense. I should also mention, the price I am willing to pay for a news journal is directly proportional to their self-restraint in expressing political bias. Thats why I would happily pay 3x more for the Economist over NYT and WAPO. Economist is up front about it’s views but writing style makes a clear distinction between those views and their facts. NYT and WAPO get some great scoops but the degree of bias is at times almost sickening. Guardian does a lot better job than those two, but not so good that I would pay the premium I am willing to pay for pure unpolluted news..Version: 11.3

Interesting perspectives on the worldAs an ex-Brit, I used to read the Guardian when I when in England. I vaguely even remember when it used to be called The Manchester Guardian; but I digress. This app is GREAT. It gives brilliant coverage of the USA from the point of view of an non-USA outsider, which helps put news into a broader perspective. While other articles provide info and stories that one might never find in the usual [corporate] mega-media businesses such as CNN, or Turner, or News Corp. It's easy to navigate too. Love it. Jolly good show, chaps. 😀.Version: 10.2

Since PeterlooIndependent, news reporting straddling the globe. At long last the Trust is breaking even. Any financial support has to help. I buy frequently the Weekly Guardian. Without the truth being uncovered we are all done for..Version: 8.9

The truth hurtsPart Media Watch, part daily news online and laced with in-depth opinion pieces, The Gardian sometimes sits awkwardly in ones being. The stomach churns, the heart aches, the emotions run high but the eyes stay open. It is the opening of portals to truth, to trust, to connection with the world you inhabit and the web of social and political machinations that intersect throughout the human landscape that make it essential reading. As the world teeters on breaking point, it is vital that reality be conveyed honestly and with reverence and maybe just maybe we all together can avert the catastrophe that we all are part of and for this I sincerely thank The Gardian..Version: 7.12

I love the GuardianI read the NYT, the Washington Post, the Atlantic, Apple News, Google News, Al Jazeera, DW and whatever else I find out there. Of all of those I love the Guardian’s selection of stories, I the variety of its focus, the personal stories, the coverage of the war and the coverage of the arts and science. I really appreciate the layout and design of the app, it has just the right combination of images and nicely designed easy to read headlines. I love the absence of ads which make so many publications just about unreadable...Version: 11.35

What can I say...Simply the best online daily newspaper around now. Not perfect, they have some biases, they can’t stand Jeremy Corbyn or Julian Assange and their biases become apparent after reading it a while. Their headlines can bear hardly any relation to the article below and sometimes incomprehensible sentences require reading and rereading to discover the word left out by mistake or how useful punctuation can be and the damage done to communication now and again by not “ proofreading” sufficiently. These instances are all rare in my experience. However they research events, investigate corruption and have writers who think about the implications of changes in politics and convey them well and often/usually impartially. Frequently I think The Guardian might even be changing the world significantly for the better. The have some very funny writers, good cartoonists, top thinkers in the world write articles for them. They have detailed long articles, “Long Reads” of terrific standard. They invest money in what they write and don’t just reprint press releases from parties they like, which seems to get more and more common elsewhere. A hugely diverse group of journalists write for them and they are financially independent. They appeal to a more left wing readership and as a result don’t need to lie to keep in with rich benefactors, which is a massive advantage as far as reporting the truth is concerned. How sorry I am that they have so little competition..Version: 8.8

Truth!Lovely to read and feel that I’m getting the truth about events. The Guardian allows me to know what’s going on in the rest of the world simply because the. So called “news” in New Zealand (Aotearoa) is really merely infotainment these days. So, thank you. Derek Neal.Version: 8.18

Up to date and fairRight up to date, and covers the entire world. Very topical articles and reviews..Version: 11.39

I love the GuardianI can anyways rely on the words I read that’s there’s truth in the journos who work for the guardian . I absolutely cherish the story of how this great media org came to be ! I really would love to have an Aussie version of this but I suppose the Bulletin is as close as it goes and that’s only cause Louise Henry n Bango were in it ! Sadly the Bulletin is gone thank whatever god we still have the guardian ! Just love Katherine Murphy but the new editor is from buzz feed that bothers me somewhat ! That rag is run by bottom feeders ....hope that doesn’t cross contaminate.Version: 8.8

Thank goodness for the Guardian!I am a Pom living in NZ for twenty four years now. I have been a digital subscriber to the Guardian for a number of years now and it provides me with accurate, factual and reliable news from back home that other biased papers don’t. The whole package is extremely well presented and entertaining with great columnists and I shall continue to support its excellent journalism. For me it represents great value and I wholeheartedly recommend it to all..Version: 11.12

Great reading !The Guardian has entertaining and more interesting articles than other news apps.Version: 11.4

An Independent Voice In A World Of ChicaneryThe Guardian has reported for almost two hundred years, determined to remain independent of financial and editorial manipulation. Its journalists remain fiercely individualistic and are trusted to retain a great amount of their own editorial control. The Guardian’s reporting is free to all to read, not protected by a paywall, and instead it operates a voluntary membership subscription fee - asking for those that value it to support it. All the Guardian’s profits are reinvested in journalism rather than being distributed to investors or stockholders. The Guardian has polled as the UK’s most trusted daily national paper and is the only British national daily to conduct (since 2003) an annual social, ethical and environmental audit in which it examines, under the scrutiny of an independent external auditor, its own behaviour as a company. It is also the only British national daily newspaper to employ an internal ombudsman (called the "readers' editor") to handle complaints and corrections. It’s also an excellent, interesting and informative read..Version: 8.22

Keeping me abreast of the latest news developmentsI’ve been a subscriber to the Guardian Weekly in print for many years. Often The Guardian will feature a news item that I see covered in less detail in local Australian newspapers a week or so later. The breath of information garnered from across the world is unparalleled in general newspapers available and makes these appear thin and lacking substance. Although some articles provide a level of information and detail that can be confronting to the point of a levelling reality check, I prefer to be informed about what’s happening in the broader world. I may not agree with the opinion expressed in every piece that’s written but the ideas behind the article can challenge my preconceptions I was previously not aware of..Version: 7.1

Excellent real time newsEasy to read and pleasant to look up in a spare moment over coffee..Version: 7.7

LoveI have read the guardian for years and have supported it for years and intend to support it as long as I can because it makes my day. Every morning a delight, every morning, the news of the world written by brilliant journalists every morning a subject that always interests me no matter what it is and I happen to be a football fan so that helps to add a movie fan and a FOOD fan and a news fan and there is no paper in the world like The Guardian. I urge you to support it with whatever you can..Version: 11.35

Guardian: The Best NewsI have subscribed to the Guardian for many years having first started reading as an undergraduate when it was flown out from the UK and printed on rice paper. A collectors item! These days my Guardian arrives weekly in my mail box and gives me a weeks excellent reading. I also have the Guardian App in my phone with alert notifications. You could say I’m a Guardian devotee. Thank you Guardian, you are the best. John Johns Halliday’s Point.Version: 9.5

Wonderful journalism, terrific perspectivesThe G offers an increasingly rare insight into quality perspectives of mainstream issues, as well as sprinklings of the esoteric. Thanks to the great journos and staff that show their dedication, thought and skills in expression. I am pretty often let down by the readers effort at tackling the same issue, with the comments section showing possibly the worst standard of communication of expressed thought/opinion of mainstream publications (Australian, Age). I guess it demonstrates how hard it is to communicate clearly with respect, so a further thank you to the staff. On a purely technical issue, I have tried long and often to log in using my membership across multiple platforms, only to fail. I do get frustrated by constantly being asked to subscribe, when I have. But I accept, it’s a minor issue in the scheme of the issues this world faces..Version: 7.4

Fantastic mobile experienceI won’t review the Guardian as a publication here because this is an app-specific review (but safe to say that it’s quality journalism). This app is very easy to use, launches quickly, and content is displayed in a way that makes it simple to get the news of the day. The “live” feature is great, especially in 2021 where there are often multiple live news blogs running at once. A joy to use, and one of the best news apps I’ve used — it’s actually worth using the app instead of just using the mobile browser, unlike many publications where there’s little difference between the two..Version: 11.3

It’s another point of viewThe Guardian provides a different point of view when compared to most US newspapers. The two things that Americans should understand are that, of course , it is an English paper, so many aspects of American life, culture and politics which seem so “normal” and therefore unremarkable to us may seem strange and even inconceivable to British people - even those who know America better than Americans themselves. A good example is our continued inability to get up the gumption to place any sort of restrictions on the possession or use of firearms. The other salient aspect of The Guardian that American readers should be aware of is that its editorial slant is decidedly liberal-to-Left-Wing. This doesn’t make their reporting inaccurate or their columns and editorial commentary necessarily seem wrong-headed or unreadable by conservatives, but conservative and libertarian readers should prepare to have their view of things to be challenged at times, to put it mildly..Version: 11.37

WhewHow good is the Guardian? It is a life saver! Well it might be more than that. With most of the media gobsmackingly below anything representing what I always thought of news, the Guardian has raised the bar above the kind of relevance I once looked for in the Age. The Guardian has become my go to media not because it cheers me (some times I have to turn off, the news is so bleak) but because I have come to trust it as a group of people determined to tell us what is really happening. Go you good people!.Version: 8.6

My “go to” newspaper!In a world of confusion and often obfuscation (aka downright lying) the Guardian is a beacon of integrity and hope. Put quite simply - I’d be lost without it. Long may it continue to publish and provide superlative journalism!!!!.Version: 7.7

Thanks for your generosity.Thank The Fourth Estate ! I’m a student and broke. It’s so important to be informed. I really appreciate that I can read The Guardian for free. When I get some money I will start paying. The writers are excellent — great content. I can look at the photos and editorials, and imagine a life of travel where I can improve myself. Thanks for your unbiased research into world issues, and your reporting on politics. Being a journalist is a dangerous low paying job. Those that bring us the news and keep us informed, are the only thing standing between a free democracy and a failed state. Across the world journalists are jailed, killed, or treated with suspicious hostility at the very least. Also, If the media is so liberal, how come they gave Trump 5bil in free ads? The point I'm trying to make here is that journalism used to be known as "The fourth estate", an actual branch of a democratic society. The Guardian upholds this time honored ideal. Also, The Washington Post charges money to read online. The Guardian is free. Read it..Version: 11.8.1

Trust is a must with information.There is a level of trust, which has been nurtured over time, with this publication. Trust is rare in 2023..Version: 11.37

Great App, ugly redesignOne of my favourite apps, read it every day, I even subscribe and pay them money because real Journalism should be supported - but i really don’t like the new redesign! And i mean REALLY. I’ve been reading news on line for years now - I don’t want my digital experience to try and mimic the jammed together old style look of a newspaper. I like clarity, readability, searchability and the ability to customise my reading. Can you pls consider making a version without all the 3 lined headers and stuff that makes it look old and tabloidy?.Version: 5.6

Best news provided in and of the World!I’ve been kept up with the news of the world just about from primarily reading the Guardian daily! There are always excellent segments of news items that really matter in this day and age. The Guardian has been a major newspaper for years and it now is the same when online. Great news is good news even if some of it is bad news and, you don’t always do the crosswords!!.Version: 11.26

Please enable it for MacGreat app, but I’d love for it to be available for my Mac. Generally if you’re not using any whizzy hardware features, it’s just a matter of changing a setting to allow it..Version: 11.37

Clear, Concise and PerceptiveI’ve never gotten so much out of a newspaper before having access to the Guardian. My husband and I would read Guardian book reviews and follow the course leading up to the Man Booker Prize award yearly. It took a cell phone to open up how much more the Guardian offers. Their journalists don’t just pounce and scribble about our current problems, but from reading, it’s evident that thought and réflection is given each issue that’s covered. Such a well done journal..Version: 11.20.1

I tried to wait for my free articles but I couldn’t…When the guardian added their cap on the number of articles we could read per month I tried to detox. For 3 weeks I railed against the injustice of it all…today I’ve paid my yearly subscription after 21 days of hell. Each day I would open my app and look at the article headlines with the grim knowledge that if I clicked on one I would be redirected to a demand for payment. It was painful to finally pay what I owed (I’m £800 overdrawn) but I’ve paid and paid willingly (well, HSBC paid really but hey ho) because I can’t live without it. I bloody love it and I plan to spend the rest of today gorging on the news. I’ve had a good run with free articles from the guardian - it’s time to pay up and pay up gracefully. Polly Toynbee alone makes it worth it. Add John Crace and you’ve got yourself an addictive read. If I don’t know what’s happening with Rishi! life isn’t worth living. So long free guardian, but thanks for all the fish..Version: 11.39

Great news source, but the invisible article issue isn’t fixed yetIt uses a lot of iPad power, but it’s one of the best news sources. Unfortunately, the latest update didn’t fix the “disappearing article” issue which causes the highlight article in a section to vanish and maybe only re-appear if you scroll carefully. Needs to be fixed!.Version: 11.46

The best….Version: 11.35

Always TrustworthyLiving in Canada, I rely on The Guardian to keep me objectively informed on the U.K. and the world. As a climate activist, The Guardian is not only a primary source of news but also an inspiration to keep on fighting for future generations..Version: 11.42.1

Need to readExcellent and relevant coverage of current events..Version: 11.44

Votre indépendance éditoriale est clair et sans ambiguïté.Votre indépendance éditoriale est clairement et sans ambiguïté. Formidable!.Version: 11.43

A reasonable view of human activityThis isn’t perfect, it’s a point of view about a newspaper full of opinion. The Guardian manages to keep a lid on most excesses and somebody needs to stand up against the follies of the rest of us. A little controversy is better than preaching to the converted so, perhaps, there is room for a little more editorial breadth. Otherwise, this is generally a well written newsfeed which has been a particularly useful source of information during the COVID period. There are occasional mistakes, most notably where statistics are involved which are typically found in environmental scare stories promoted by those looking for their next round of funding. Use your brains a little please editors. Overall, I’d recommend it..Version: 9.4

New logo/icon is disappointingThe Guardian is great. I read it everyday. I'm dropping a star from my review though because the new icon is so bad. I loved the old logo. The blue circle-masked lowercase "g" was distinct, unique and popped out in a sea of apps on my home screen. The new, black and white, times roman, capital G in a circle feels like any generic news publication. Worse, the app is hard to find now when I scroll through my apps and the widget icon, wow, I can't even tell it's a G. It could be that stupid new uber icon for all I know. Seriously, I understand the world is a depressing, polorizing place these days and the new black/white logo might be meant to represent the times, but please, when Trump leaves office, can we have the old logo back? Finally, Yahoo and the Gap both changed their iconic logos an few years ago. The Gap changed theirs back and still have a business, yahoo not so much. Please don't be the next Yahoo!.Version: 5.0

Content rich, with formatting issues.I still don’t get articles’ links when they are placed into live update feeds. I don’t get to enjoy David Squire’s editorial cartoons in the app because they are too small. Those are annoying. The strong neo-liberal influence on content is a feature, not intended as the obvious bug it amounts to. Otherwise, good stuff. But keep looking for information about certain hotspots and for certain important emphasis. They don’t want you looking too hard at the Middle East, for example. Used to take comments, but the discussion must have turned sour on several notable opinion leaders featured within..Version: 10.1

A publication to be valuedIn the few short years that it has been in publication, the Guardian Australia has become distinguished as the only quality daily publication in the country. While the SMH bc and the Afe have gone down market, the Guardian has continued to provide well written, well researched reporting and opinion for a general audience. The one criticism that I would make is that unlike the Washington Post and the New York Times, the Guardian live news blog is not indexed and the headline often is not related to the blog content. This makes for very frustrating reading..Version: 8.32

Repairing a widening gapThe Guardian is growing to help repair the widening gap between what the ABC was, and what it has become under the defunding and pseudo censorship imposed by recent Federal Governments. It’s refraining from froth & bubble that is creeping into the ABC’s online content, and bolstering the decline of investigative journalism in all forms of current affairs, now under even more threat from the Nine Fairfax takeover. And then there is Sky News, which probably has to exist to show where the limits in democracy should be, but also to provide fodder for the slightly more respectable media to reflect on. I’m very relieved that The Guardian organization chose to establish the Australian arm. It may become the last bastion of quality media in our country..Version: 6.7

None so blind as those who do not wish to see.Reading small “independent” honest news feeds they always seem to acknowledge, “as reported in the Guardian” so I am thinking why don’t I just get it straight from the Guardian, which I do. The Guardian allows me to filter out unwanted information like sports results, gives emphasis to my countries news plus important world news. I read it online first thing in the morning then off to coffee and a Murdock press news paper. What a revelation, totally different slant on the story or not even a mention of a world news headline. But heroic Donald Trump did get Mrs Smith’s cat out of the tree with the assistance of the National Guard..Version: 11.37

Good App, but....Have been a Guardian reader for more than a year, and thoroughly enjoy your news. I don’t, however, enjoy the recent new design which is like a tabloid. The most off-putting issue about the Guardian, and which makes me hesitate about re-subscribing, is the ability given your readers to write anonymous comments. If they are about books, music or medicine, lovely: comments are knowledgeable and kind. About almost anything else, comments tend to become viciously unkind and vituperation is rife. Anonymity is, of course, the key to this ugliness. For me, it ruins the Guardian..Version: 6.3

The best news appI love it, I pay a subscription of £2.49 a month I think as I read it frequently, (but you can have it free with ads). I can follow particular writers or subjects and you can easily opt in and out of notifications. It has art as well which, as an artist, I find just as helpful but I also love their climate change coverage and wildlife. The usual top stories are great and sometimes more explanation is available should you need it. I recently discovered their large health section but of course you could read all day with the amount of news, articles, discussion and info they have!!! I think the Guardian’s journalism is very important as it is unbiased, and I think their app is really worth getting..Version: 8.3

The best news paper app aroundWe live in NZ but I find the Guardian’s brilliantly designed app and well written news way better than any other newspaper app..Version: 11.13

World class journalismTrustworthy reporting on global news from well informed highly competent journalists. The breadth of issues and depth of coverage make the Guardian the go to resource for anyone wanting credible insights in this age of fake news and political kowtowing..Version: 8.24.1

Shame I can’t download each issueI’m a Guardian supporter and proud to subscribe to support independent journalism. I own an I-phone, MAC book and kindle. For a long time I could download daily editions to my kindle to read at my leisure and flick through in the way I would read print journalism. This facility was stopped last year for kindle, although I believe it is still available for I-pads. I appreciate the constantly updated app on my phone but really miss the ability to save and read entire editions and find I now miss a lot of the excellent Guardian content. It would be lovely to have this feature return to all tablets - Apple is not the only fruit.Version: 7.14

My morning readMy truth, comes from open honest, objective news reporting. Thank you Guardian , Born as the Manchester Guardian after Peterloo massacre . Again thsnkyou.Version: 8.14

Guardian excels with quality newsThe best read of the day on regional and international news that matters! Not fake, not facile, not fainthearted the Guardian is worth supporting to keep it on the boil. You may assume that I am very impressed by this quality news service. Huge thanks to the whole team. Give us more....Version: 6.9

More trusted journalismWith a background of Murdoch Stokes and Costello’s often divisive right wing echo chamber, apparently hell bent on maintaining structural power in this country, you have to stick around for democracy’s sake. It’s a big job but please don’t give up in reporting the truth. In this country trust in mainstream journalism unfortunately feels rare, so when we see the truth being reported and powerful people being held to account it restores some faith that good people are taking journalism seriously. Thanks always to those journalists who take their jobs of reporting the truth, seriously. (and any chance the likes of Guardian Australia, Saturday Paper, Independent Australia, The Shot, Crikey, The Conversation, The Newdaily could band together to form a free to air channel?).Version: 11.35

Best independent news appThe Guardian App has provided unbiased daily news which has bern very informative. It proves that ‘fake news’ can be curtailed with true, professional journalism. There is always a good mix of subjects. Most ‘long reads’ are better, because more in depth than the very short articles. The only issue is that my husband has been paying his monthly membership fees for years and therefore, I have not. However, I was deprived of reading the context of the articles for months recently because I hadn’t paid for a membership as well!! This is ludicrous as, in this day and age, where money is scarce and news information is crucial, I feel very strongly that I should not have been penalised… especially as at least one member of my household was already doing so..Version: 11.39

Better than most newspapers in the USDuring the pandemic I signed on to a few new subscriptions ensuring that I would never run of articles to read and subjects to discover. The Guardian was the best of all my discoveries and I continue to be impressed by the timely and well researched news as well as the wonderful information about books, food, theatre, art exhibits, and other forms of culture. Though I’m not a fan of reading on line I find the Guardian’s online version to be better than any newspaper in the US. Since subscribing myself, I’ve given a few gift subscriptions, a high compliment..Version: 11.15

How to Know What’s Going On….I suggest one way to have a true sense of what’s going on in the world you live in is to read The Guardian newspaper. You will find it full of news, that’s facts and truth, not someone’s truth, simply the truth, what has actually happened. You will find some useful analysis of what is happening, how events and themes link together to give a clear picture. You will find this well written and good to read even if what an article describes saddens you, you will have confidence that you know what’s going on. You will find background to news, links that illuminate how we got to here. These links are easy to follow and give you a more full and clear picture of what’s going on. Another wonderful thing is that The Guardian does not have an axe to grind like some other newspapers, just read it if you seek a better, fairer, more honest picture to explain what’s going on. And if you care about sport, money, theatre, music, I could go on and on, you will find journalism by writers who have a passion for all of these and more. If you want your newspaper to speak truth to power, try it..Version: 11.42.1

Expanding the screen with two fingersMy biggest criticism of your app is the inability in my iPad to make the screen size of content bigger or smaller using the standard two finger method, which is possible when reading throughout a browser..Version: 8.23

QualityQuality journalism and great app interface to read the latest news..Version: 10.40.1

Balanced coverageThere’s a wide range of reporting across world issues as well as local priorities. Unlike hard right wing ideological reporting from some “ alternative facts” based media, the Guardian frequently refers to back up material in the public domain for context & validation. There are opinion articles obviously but they aren’t dressed up as “ reporting” & are identified as such. I wish the extreme right wing media would do the same but there’s little chance of that I fear!.Version: 11.30.1

The Guardian has Facts in HeadlinesMajor media outlets fall into the editorial trap of softening headlines. In an attempt to seem impartial and tell both sides, they leave readers wondering what the point is, what is fact, fiction or all just a matter of opinion and perspective. Media companies do not need to give a voice and broadcast platform to anti-democracy forces. In today’s noisy, fast paced digital landscape, plain language that states the facts is needed. Lies need to be called lies, not couched and given credence as “beliefs.” The Guardian consistently delivers a fact based through-line from their headlines to the last period in their reporting. It’s refreshing..Version: 8.48

Important Objectivity - Integrity in TruthAs an American living while watching the upside down politics and perpetual chaos in the states, even the reputable news outlets often feel like insidious repetition puppets; I have great empathy for the excellent journalists repeating the same old stuff daily while exposed to abuse by their President. Fox Entertainment is not in their league, not even close. Fox is simply a bully pulpit for the right wing Patriarch agendas. For those who choose to never leave their own backyard literally or figuratively they have found their traditional safety net at FOX. We know Rupert Murdoch and family laugh as they fill their pockets now; unfortunately, there’s always a balancing act be it this lifetime or another. Their contribution to the dysfunction of modern culture and progress will not go down unnoticed in the history books or higher realms of accountability. I also have compassion although it’s ‘detached compassion’ for the employees and headliners at Fox. It feels as though they have truly sold their souls and ‘can’t see the forest for the trees’. So, we must look to other resources and seek truth and wisdom where we can find it. The Guardian is my first choice for information at home and abroad. Thank you. I know it takes great effort to offer this service to the world..Version: 8.15

My favorite news sourceFor quality coverage of international news, this is my favorite source. I am happy to report it does not mirror Fox News, but I find it compares very well with CNN, and MSNBC, but it also provides excellent coverage of key issues in Africa, India and Australasia, and the coverage of the depressing chaos caused by the Russians in Ukraine is the best I have found. In addition there are some writers who are simply excellent and compelling. I have friends who would prefer to avoid politics and ignore some international news, but the misery in Ukraine reminds me that we live on a small planet. Special thanks to Arwa M for bringing clarity to some key ethical and moral issues in Nth America. Signed: An old grizzly bear who wandered out of the forest one day to find some “humans” seem intent on wrecking the life that so many of us enjoy on the planet, and even watching without plan or care to what they are allowing to be done to the planet itself..Version: 11.31

Best news app that I’ve gotThis is my go-to news app, the one I use most often. It has good national and international coverage, but lacks some good local coverage. Easy to navigate, good current news coverage and features. My two main complaints are in the “Live” sections, which often lists a specific item that can’t be found in the detailed section; and a more subtle complaint of unsubstantiated or emotional adjectives (I often agree with the sentiment, but want justification, not just the statement)..Version: 9.0

A high-quality app presenting high-quality journalismI highly recommend the Guardian app for its top notch, user-friendly, and easily-navigable presentation of information. Combine that with superb text and photo journalism, and you have a winning combination..Version: 11.3

Real Facts written by Real JournalistsI read/listen/watch many news sources in various formats. The Guardian is courageous in its global news coverage, that seeks to print only the truth, and not sensationalize or spread misinformation to get “Likes”. Disinformation is not in its vocabulary. I am able to learn first hand the difficult stories of real people and real situations that affect me, the planet, the economy, the world’s people and so much more. It provides me part of what I need to know to make informed decisions, especially when it’s time to #vote in any election I am privileged to take part in. I am seventy years old and donate when and where I can to support their sincere efforts to keep an honest and free press alive. Please also donate and/or subscribe to help them in their heroic accomplishments as they are “boots on the ground” in sometimes very precarious environments where they must risk their lives. The “free press” isn’t and can’t be free, (as everyone has bills and salaries to pay, to eat, keep the lights on, keep a roof over their heads, and just be able to produce such honest/unbiased content), if you don’t support them. Please do so..Version: 11.34

The ring of authenticityWe all know this is the era of fake news but guess where I found a quality of Opinion and Reporting I can trust?.Version: 8.2

Reasons to read the GraunaidReading Private Eye while living in the UK during the tempestuous Thatcher regime in the 1980's I became addicted to the fine journalism and fearless reportage that was so devastatingly mocked by Private Eye . Having been a subscriber to the paper version for over twenty years my week is enhanced by the cross words and mathslanca is missed. At times I have felt great annoyance at the reporting of environmental issues as the elephant in the room overpopulation and birth control is very rarely discussed when talking about climate change, animal extinction, pollution of the rivers, lands and seas. I do feel that some of the reporters are definitely inner city cat owners but as I am an environmentalist living in the bush I don't hold it against them..Version: 11.4

My Life with The GuardianThe Guardian was one of the first among many papers I read as a young adult and consistently the only one I have read for the last 30 years. True honest reporting about subject & matter that is important to me. It has inspired my career with food, health, my creative writing, world issues, amazing photography, view points & direction. It has distracted me when I needed to switch off, supplied focus when I needed direction and many years ago I used the quick crossword to bring different teams together from many different backgrounds and functions at work that took on a life of its own. To the best of my knowledge, despite my presence being a distant memory, the quick crossword tradition still goes on in two of those teams. The Guardian is on my phone. On my desktop. My 1st port of call for news & information on current affairs and long may that continue. Thank you 🙏.Version: 11.42

Gotta be freeI can’t afford to subscribe, so please keep this FREE & by donation, thx.Version: 8.41

Great storiesGreat app and great stories. However one thing about the app bothers me: Stories that have been read become greyed, (Which is a nice feature), however stories I have saved to read for a later date are frequently greyed out too. It would be great to see a fix for this, and better yet… the ability to mark stories as unread or flag them incase I want to read them again later..Version: 10.6

Concise, Cogent, Complete, and Convenient!I depend on The Guardian to provide factual, up-to-date, accurate reporting, free of the political agendas of the two dominant political parties of the United States. The view from across the Atlantic provides clarity and independent, disinterested expositions of current events, while the US “news“ presenters often try to distract their readership with politically-motivated, one-sided, manufactured issues as these two old dinosaurs battle each other for control of the US government and its Treasury. I can trust The Guardian to provide the whole news, without the echo chamber and propaganda of the politically motivated press. Without The Guardian and the US National Public Radio my information about current events would be limited to two separate ideological bubbles, operating in a vacuum as though the other doesn’t exist, feeding their audiences only the half-truths that they want them to hear. I applaud The Guardian for its support (financial and intellectual) of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) and the fearless, dangerous work they are doing to expose the global secret economy and web of influence of the world’s uber-wealthy families, politicians, and kleptocrats. I am proud to be a paid subscriber..Version: 11.17

Trusted and valuedI greatly value the depth and breadth of the journalism that The Guardian embodies. From my vantage point in Western Canada, for years The Guardian has been my go-to news source before all others - for news from Britain, Canada and the US in particular..Version: 11.35

The Guardian, an institution!!! Kudos to you … for brill journalism for so many yearsWhere to start ? The guardian is an amazing journalistic endeavour that , startles, alarms, inspires, and delights. A must.Version: 11.42

Guardian.Online, it”s a bit of a clumsy read so hard tosee all the main news simply. Ironically both the Times and dare I say it, The Telegraph online do this much better - at least for me. Also although Im instinctively Guardian reader I sometimes get disappointed by its bias - a bit of a high flown moral rant. I would also like to see more letters. I rememder when the Manchester Guardian changed its name. I may be wrong but it was more enjoyable then - despite printing errors! BUT i admire the G’s entry into digital making it the Wotld Guardin read everywhere. Hard to compete with the mega bucks of the other two. Thats tough for you all.Version: 11.3

Logging in is a recurring painI subscribe to the Guardian via this app, but they still ask me for a separate log in almost every time I use it. Ostensibly, the paper is free, whereas I PAY! But this isn’t enough for the Guardian. If I want to make a comment or upvote a BTL post, I need to log in AGAIN, to be told my password is wrong, WHEN IT ISN’T. I reset my password, only to have the whole cycle repeat the next time I want to do something. I repeat - this is within the app on my sole use iPad. At the moment, I’m paying for nothing that I could get for free. Sort this out because paying for this newspaper isn’t looking like a great idea right now..Version: 8.34

Reading the GuardianI don’t who will read this. I find the Guardian’s ability to include reporting, analysis, reflection and comparison within the same piece constantly refreshing. In the US the ‘serious’ papers separate reporting and analysis. The front page carries the facts without comment although the subject matter may imply treason and an existential constructional crisis. You have to wade through to the opinion sections on back page (pace NYT) for any analysis. Even then, it is a week later and, in order not to appear biased, they include pieces from either side of the fence, no matter where in the swamp the fence has been erected. Some stories - the role of Russian and other oligarch money floating the US property and fine art markets - hang around in plain sight for decades without being reported. When the festering sore breaks the surface, it is with with instant shock and horror - but that is another subject..Version: 7.4

Covers all basesThe Guardian is always fresh, always exciting and up-to-date and has superb writers who are often provocative.Version: 7.13

Pretty good but used to be betterThe content is distinctly left leaning and usually manages to avoid being too strident, though I have to say it is noticeably a little less sober than it once was. Once upon a time, its format and presentation was classier, more elegant, and easier to read than it is now. Indeed, I was sad to see it lose its white and blue format and its distinctive font. Nowadays The Guardian looks and feels like so many other news sites and has lost much of its individuality. Yet despite the old branding being far better, I still persevere with The Guardian because the quality of its reporting does redeem it a little..Version: 8.6

Most objective news worldwideI don’t really believe in paying for news, however after several weeks of reading the guardian I bought a subscription just to support the work they do. It is by far the most objective and well thought out written fair and balanced news worldwide. The way they covered the Palestinian Israeli conflict was very two-sided unlike most news agencies. I am an American and I believe that the guardian covers American use in a better Way than any American corporation. New stories are discussed in depth and with no tilt or bias, I recommend anybody who can buy a subscription and or donate money to fund the wonderful work being done at the guardian, Please do so.Version: 9.8

Great app and fine institutionFantastic implementation of a paperless paper. Put your favourite sections and writers on the home page, do a crossword, share articles with other iOS applications, make comments, follow live news. Nice left and right sections show you long-form items you might miss otherwise and a list of the very latest items. It steadily, slowly, incrementally improves. Highly recommended and don’t forget to subscribe to keep the paper away from commercialising too much! Edit: old review was as follows → Works well and is a considered approach to digital news. I would dearly like copy-and-paste and definition lookups to work, though..Version: 7.1

The guardianI like having information with a different view to most Tory newspapers. I have to get online as the observer and guardian are no longer available in the Channel Islands. When they weren’t available they were more expensive than in England. I had Been taking the observer since I was seventeen years old, Ian now 73 years old. I am a born and bread in Guernsey. I regret that the influence of the finance industry has Made it difficult fo young buy a house. The influx of more wealthy people has pushed up the prices of homes which has forced young to leave Guernsey to make homes elsewhere. The island is overcrowded with people who are locating here because of the lower taxes. The result has spoilt the sense of community. Guernseyman..Version: 8.13

The Guardian reviewThis is the best newspaper I have read as a news junky and I have been able to download your amazing media podcasts which have opened a whole new global media information tool for me. Thank you June New Zealand.Version: 8.17

Inter-activeThank you for this app. I enjoy ready many of your articles which are clearly written, easy to understand, and relatable. I have a suggestion to make it better. I would love to see news apps like this become more interactive like Reddit, or Facebook by providing the opportunity for a reader to vote with a like or dislike or uninterested as well as the chance for readers to leave comments on articles or even Follow a specific news story or topic with notifications when a new article about the story or topic is published. I think that would be amazing and make your readers feel more like they are a part of the news..Version: 11.39

Quality journalism on a diverse range of topicsIt is such a relief to open this app each day to find well written, thoughtful articles, and not have to wade through junk news, click bait, and dodging ads that you accidentally click on while you’re reading. The app is seamless and the news is quality. The article referral algorithm isn’t too narrow and it’s great to have articles from around the world at your fingertips. There are lots of links in articles to help you find the backstory or previous reports. Great if you’re getting on board a particular piece of news late!.Version: 7.5

Landscape Mode PLEASEI'm a Guardian supporter and appreciate their independence from Australian media corporate bias (Mutton is Dead to Me) BUT this app seems to lack basic interface features that would make its use so much better IMO: 1/ Landscape mode option 2/ Night mode (light text on a dark background) Trying to emulate the look of a newspaper on a phone screen might look cute on paper :/ but your designers need to get with Functionality over Appearance....Version: 5.7

Guardian, a daily ritualAn easy to use newspaper app that you can use in Dark mode. I’d be lying if I didn’t fully admit that the guardian is my favorite English-language newspaper. That said, some of the columnists, like Arwa, get on my nerves mostly because of their anti-American leanings(while reporting on US matters) which are so thinly vailed, they become laughable and obvious. Now, the newspaper is handwringing because of its ties to slavery…maybe they’ll pay out reparations and, as a result, finally force subscriptions on all us interlopers….thanks for the good free ride while it lasted!.Version: 11.30.1

Why I read the GuardianThe Guardian allows me to access news that I feel is a break from the corporate press domestically. Their coverage of climate change is hand in hand with activism. Many of the links provided have been instrumental in linking me to networks engaged in social activism. It is this binding of journalism to action (theory/praxis) that is lacking in US print journalism. It tends to encourage apathy. In addition, the Guardian’s long reads I have archived on not a few occasions as their deeper treatment warrants reflection and I appreciate that. This, too, marks a break from the sound byte culture. Peter Stedman.Version: 8.6

Where to start?I am curious. I like people, their stories and the human adventure. Good or bad. It is my worth. They are my family. I value honesty. Do not give my “Luke warm” commentary — I will spit it out. Do not interject culture or gender into story telling just tell the story..Version: 11.37

When the evidence doesn’t lieThe Guardian is the most decent, objective and ethical source of news going around. It should be read in conjunction with all the other tripe that is masquerading as news reporting just so individuals can stay sane and maintain balance. Our community and neighbourhoods deserve the opportunity to break away and get informed news that is food for the mind not low slung stories and press releases dreamt up in communications rooms of government and businesses with all their vested interests..Version: 8.8

Saves me time and makes my dayGreat being able to check the latest international news while not having to spend half a day in the process Appears to be balanced reporting and empathetic research Thank you Guardian.Version: 8.45

Review 1&2…This from a few years back… Until their latest attempt to de-stabilise left of centre politics with this week’s latest attack on Corbyn I remained rooting for the The Grauniad. They now clearly jumped in to bed with the beeb. The Manchester founders would be disappointed their ideals were not protected from infiltrators... And this now in July ‘22… Well as the UK descends into free fall disaster thanks to Tory corruption and sleaze we have to look back at the last election and ask how, with all the warning signs starkly apparent, did the Tories get in again and Labour lose so badly? Of course it’s largely because we have a mainly gullible and greedy electorate but who was fanning the flames and feeding the fire of disaster? The Guardian has done much good since then with quality investigative journalism and a relentless pursuit of evidence truth and exposure but perhaps this was prompted by its failure to do so effectively in the run-up to that last election and we wouldn’t be where we are now if they’d taken the current approach earlier and got behind Labour then? Keep up the good work Guardian and build on it..Version: 11.13

Excellent way to stay informedThe Guardian app is my “go to” for news, information and documentaries. It has an excellent user interface and top notch journalism..Version: 4.49

Best Newspaper ever for ‘True & Accurate News’. . . .I was introduced to the ‘Guardian Weekly’, by my then boss, some forty odd years ago and it has followed me, my job, my family and my friends around the world ever since. It has enabled me and my family to get unbiased and accurate international news and opinion regularly each week, so that we could be kept ‘au fait’, and in a timely fashion, with how the world was coping with its’ many problems! I started off in the UK, and subsequently have been employed through the USA, Canada, and latterly New Zealand. The only way to get a consistent source of unbiased accurate news was to take out a subscription to the ‘The Guardian Weekly’. Something that we have never regretted subsequently. It’s new and modified format, though in some ways somewhat unexpected, is easier to handle, but has still maintained both its’ editorial breadth, accuracy and interest. Yours sincerely, Dr Brian Mahood,.Version: 11.13

Clear news without the pap.It is encouraging to have a news outlet focussed on NEWS and not articles dressed up to look like news that are no more than promotions. Worse, the outright untruths peddled by the Murdoch conglomerate (note I haven’t called it ‘press’) are a blight on our society. Guardian is, like the severely weakened ABC, our last line of resistance to hold back the propagation of lies as normal fare. Keep up the good work - and you are allowed an open view either way and to make mistakes. We know they will be made honestly..Version: 11.4

JohnI purchase a hard copy daily and have done so since 1976. Writers such as the late James Cameron and Michael White (then political sketch writer) enriched my life as a student. Successor writers continue this. Having recently retired from the law I value the hard copy daily and two younger generations of my family follow it assiduously. The mobile phone on-line version is excellent but not a format substitute for me for my daily hard copy. Thank you for years of superb news coverage of a fair minded ethical perspective on the world. But, ahem, I sorely miss Steve Bell’s penguins and even Kipling, the former providing much irreverent fun and the latter exhibiting as a cartoon character more integrity than the current conservative cabinet. If…only they could replace it… Thank you again from a now fiscally pressed reader who will never give up his hard copy of his treasured Guardian!.Version: 11.9

Fantastic news app but could be betterI love the guardian, and I think the system of free access for those that can’t pay and subscriptions for those of us that can is excellent. Sometimes I find the writing of news articles to be opaque - although I realise the structure of a news piece has to be different from an essay - and sometimes I find articles to be information-free (eg someone criticised someone else but without real explanation of the basic facts so we can make up our minds who’s right). I can guess why you can’t open moderated comments for everything, but i would feel more involved if I could rate articles for clarity, and for interest. Surely the app could cope with that?.Version: 9.2

In-depth analysis and fresh articlesThe Guardian is my morning go to site for news around the world. Despite following a couple of other news site, this one is my favourite because of the variety, depth and the exhaustive analysis provided in its articles and news reports. Sometimes it’s the only one that might have sone news none of the others provided, which surprises me and makes me thankful. Great job and keep it up!.Version: 11.43

Good paper but cannot use app on other devicesGood paper, good information, a good read with a wonderful international smorgasbord of information and articles. So why only four stars? Probably because I feel a little miffed and tricked that after reading the guardians promos on using their subscription across multiple devices, I then found because I had downloaded the app then paid for the subscription through iOS subscriptions on my iPad I could NOT use it on another device at all. After contacting The Guardian I was told that the best thing is to pay for the subscription on their online site to get this benefit. This information should be provided by the guardian when they’re doing all the promotions for getting a subscription and making me feel (rightly so) guilty for not paying to read. tricky tricky!!.Version: 11.12

Refreshing ReadsThe Guardian offers a perspective that one cannot get through North American journalism. I enjoy reading the Guardian’s articles because they really provide a perspective alternative to things that are normally published in North America that are very very hard to find. I do trust the Guardian’s authorship, and I do appreciate the opportunity to continue reading the articles in the Guardian. I do understand that journalists do read from a perspective, and that reporting is rarely completely objective. I do find that in The Guardian, journalistic objectivity appears to be more visibly identifiable, than in many other journalistic articles that I would read from any source in North America..Version: 11.37

Layout, links, local contentI’m an online subscriber. I read the Guardian for the journalism having cancelled a lifelong subscription to The Age after its decline became irreversible. However you make it very hard to be a reader! 1. I find the layout and presentation of the paper annoying and unnecessarily difficult to navigate. The landing page is too crowded and busy. 2. I know, courtesy of other online publications I read, that there are Guardian articles of interest to me which do not appear in the material presented to me in the app/website despite me having identified their subject area in my preferences. 3. I get notifications of stories which, when I click on them, take me to the landing page instead of the story. Couldn’t you just have a daily edition similar to the Saturday Paper with an index of all articles sorted by subject? 4. Finally, a sports content beef; The Guardian is now a national Australian daily but the coverage of Australian Rules football, our indigenous national game and the most popular national team/ball sport at professional and community levels across most of the country, is virtually zero. The imported codes, rugby and soccer, are largely irrelevant outside parts of Sydney, northeastern NSW and Queensland but are the only ones getting regular coverage in the sports section 🥱 I’d like to see that change..Version: 11.26

Preferred PaperI love reading the Guardian. Am kept up-to-date with news from Australia and around the world. Co-Vid reporting is comprehensive and enables me to quickly see where hot-spots are. I prefer to read when it suits me, rather than being swamped with latest notifications. I find the live section helpful and the only gripe I have are reminders for me to get a premium sub when I already have one and sometimes I have to log in to say I have an app sub. Keep up the great work..Version: 10.2

Very informativeWe need reliable newspapers like the Guardian to keep us informed about the different things happening in the World. It’s particularly important as there is a lot of fake news coming from social media these days that is very misleading. Good journalism has always been important as they are the ones that have uncovered terrible injustices going on in the World, such as when the Catholic Church were exposed for covering up the dreadful deeds of their priests who were sexually abusing young children (uncovered by the Boston Globe). Without good journalism injustices would stay hidden. We the people need to remember that..Version: 8.36

And I’m Intelligent TooI’ve read the Guardian since I used to scrabble the soft pages of the airmail edition of the Manchester Guardian from my mailbox. I started my subscription to keep me up to date with UK politics but the content soon surpassed that limited aim and became my most reliable source of international news, the arts, humour and contemplative thought. And best of all, you treated me as an intelligent individual. On returning to the UK I enjoyed much of the weekend with coffee and the Guardian strewn around me. And now back in Canada I appreciate the ease of the App, though I do miss the leisurely reads. My son solved that problem by subscribing to The Guardian Weekly for me! Much appreciated. Throughout I’ve relied on your careful, trustworthy reporting. I don’t always agree with your opinion pieces nor are you my only source of news but, over 50+ years of reading, you’ve brought me more good reading and intelligent reporting than other news outlet. Thank you..Version: 11.10.1

The Guardian is BallerFor the nearly fifty years I have been reading it, the Guardian has maintained a consistently high standard of journalism. Affectionately known in Britain as the Grauniad because of its more than occasional misprints, its editorial policy does not stray from the intelligent, liberal democratic, left of center, humanist ethic that has been the common thread of post WWII euro politics through the millennium. That thread is starting to fray but the Guardian doesn’t waver. The on-line version shows the newspapers’ adaptability to a new world publishing order without selling out to the tech-bro meme (read me-me) culture that threatens us all. Long Live the Grauniad!.Version: 9.7

Indispensable. My favourite source of news and reviews.My default read..Version: 11.31

The Essential paperThere’s no other way to say this than a cliché; "you get what you pay for". If you want educated and experienced investigation, properly developed opinion and writing, support the Guardian trust. You can’t escape this reality. If you want free; well, there are any number of junk sites..Version: 11.33

Solid, honest newsDependable and well researched. Easy to read and accessible ,thank you..Version: 11.37

Great Journalism; Redesign simply awfulThe Guardian has been my paper of choice since my student days of the 1980s, and I pay the suggested monthly £4.99 as a supporter. I loved the previous graphic design, and don’t see why it was necessary to chance it just because the print paper changed to tabloid. The logo looks like a ghastly military stencil stamp from decades ago, and the relaxing blue has been replaced by an off putting stark black and white. I wouldn’t normally spend so much time commenting on the graphics, but I found the app previews and indeed the sight of the new look print paper in the shops so off-putting that I have made a point of not updating this app and instead sticking with the previous layout. (Long ago with other apps, I learned the lesson of not allowing apps to update automatically without first checking for usability issues, due to incompetent or unscrupulous developers adversely affecting an app with updates that were often the very opposite of an improvement.) Sadly, if the visual layout puts you off reading the material, it has failed in its primary purpose to appeal to the reader. The usual ‘once you get used to it you’ll like it’ suggestion won’t wash with me, I’m afraid. In summary: 5 stars for the content, 1 star for the graphic design. Please bring back the well loved previous design..Version: 5.6

A Very Reliable News Source“The Guardian” is one of the really reliable news sources that I feel I MUST check in with on a daily basis. In these troubling times of insane “alternative facts and skewed reality”, rigorous research and thoughtful reporting are more important than ever. I am 75 years old, and I have NEVER lived through a period in Democratic history as heartbreaking as this one. History will ultimately show that it has been the tireless & persistent effort of the investigative free press that has kept TRUTH, and A VISION OF A WAY FORWARD, alive. Keep on KEEPING ON.

Well-researched, responsible journalismI started reading The Guardian during the EU referendum to receive informed opinions backed by facts and figures, representing the Remain side. Compared with the hysteria in other parts of the press The Guardian was refreshingly understated. Feature articles are clearly framed as opinions, and responsible feedback is invited. I particularly enjoy John Crace, many of whose hilarious sketches are also informative and reveal research into source documents. I have also become a follower of the cultural reviews and the regular features on health, cooking and eating out. Although I don’t agree with all the views of all the journalists, the articles are consistently well-written and coherent. Well done, keep up the good work, we need you!.Version: 6.9

My education began with The GuardianIn 1970 I was twenty and working in the City of London after a year in Africa following my poor A level results. A train journey to work gave me the idea of buying a newspaper - after all no one spoke to each other on the train then. My Dad read the Daily Telegraph, so I bought that. It took me the first week to realise that it’s editorials we’re grossly biased in favour of The Conservative Party. Worse, it had scant respect either for the truth or my intelligence. The following week I bought The Guardian. That was fifty one years ago. I’ve been reading it (and other newspapers occasionally) since then. I see all the different interpretations of events and I look for honesty, respect, integrity, fairness and courage. They are unwavering in The Guardian. It has been the true basis of my education..Version: 11.0

Keep it up!What I like most about The Guardian app and the reason why I prefer it to any other competitor’s is how well it is structured, using colours and font sizes in a manner that allows the reader a very smooth and lively perusal to the news, different sections and content he or she is most interested in, while not feeling bored when doing so or confused. I also find the ‘save for later’ option is also so useful and handy! Please, do not get complacent and continue to make the app even better, always focusing on how the app is used by the reader. Thanks. Ps. Please try to give more positive news as one has the impression the paper just wishes and/or focuses on giving bad news, which some times is daunting.Version: 11.15

Sanity during difficult timesThank goodness we have the Guardian, providing accurate, neutral information and updates, at at time when we need science, rather than theories and misinformation..Version: 8.19.1

GuardianI find articles of facts tell the story. I feel confident of this. When opinion articles is the view of the author, I decide then, and form an opinion that may or not may differ. At least I have opportunity to form my own ideas . I find that is why other commercial media I cannot trust as I find less factual reporting. It depends what ownership of media political ideology it is. I enjoy reading articles of human interest and information. I would like to read more news, of human effects life is for refugees in different parts of the world. I like the crosswords as well,.Version: 11.4

Excellent serviceOne of the few news services that have successfully moved with the times -the app experience is excellent. The free to all, pay if you can afford model, is a gutsy effort... I should have got behind this a long time ago. Balanced reporting on a wide range of issues is hard to find. The coverage of the Australian bush fire crisis has been excellent. Frequent articles, live blogs, clear summary updates, and fact checks have kept the world informed. The world’s a better place with the clear, un-biased reporting that the Guardian provides..Version: 8.15

Best, balanced, breakingWe need to fund quality journalism like this. Take out a sub - enjoy. News, features, reviews and lots of fun and arts as well..Version: 10.1

Great news appThe App: Fast-loading, good layout, and I love that when you open it it pre-loads all the stories when you open it, so if you’re going somewhere without internet (whether an airplane or just the black spot in your own home) you can read all the stories. The content: Well-written, properly edited proper English, not like so many clickbait sites (and even other journalistic organizations!) where it seems people have forgotten grammar or how to spell. Good journalistic content though a bit lefty, I’d appreciate cogent opinions from the other side of the spectrum as well. At least it’s clear what’s news and what’s opinion unlike (many!) others. Lots of free news but I pay for this one, it’s worth it..Version: 11.6

My early morning wake up callCoffee and The Guardian make getting up each morning a delight! Great, thorough news coverage; thought provoking long reads; some wonderful humorous articles; useful links to further information; award winning photos including remarkable wildlife pics that I share with grandchildren; great recipes and travel insights and, perhaps most important of all, courage to confront the most challenging issues head on! Thank you Guardian contributors!.Version: 8.4

Yes, I'm a Guardian reader.The Guardian app continues my love of great journalism, from a county far away from the one where the paper is published. It combines masses of high quality content in a customisable and navigable interface. And we got member access which means a freebie tote bag. This prestigious item proudly calls out to others, "yes, I'm a Guardian reader!".Version: 5.10

It is a useful appThank you so much for the useful app for the best newspaper, multiple articles in all the fields, old newspaper with a legacy history, the app well designed no bugs no errors as a client opinion not a specialist, 5 stars for sure.Version: 11.33

Excellent journalism at the GuardianAs a very long time Guardian reader I regularly read online (each day) and appreciate the superb research and writing skills of the Guardian journalists. Politicians should refer to the Guardian’s political reports which could teach and guide many of them a great deal. So thanks to the whole team at the Guardian - when most of the news in the world is too biased and controlled by media “barons”..Version: 8.6

Better than...Better than Fox news!.Version: 4.43

Truth hurtsSo many subjects they touch on I find them very absorbing, most are a must read for me , not too left or right , your left to your own discretion not forced on you by so called experts..Version: 8.19.1

I like the journalism just fine, thanks2019 jan 6: It has been little over a year since i wrote the older review below and still feel the same. I do have one question, is it more beneficial to anyone by my becoming a subscriber versus keeping my current annual supporter status? What’s different? Older review: After having used the free app for about a year, decided to become an annual supporting member. Revenues generated go back into the journalism and not into any extraneous bells and whistles. (I do not consider providing for a web presence extraneous, these days it becomes a necessity.) I suppose it is my way of supporting the Free Press..Version: 7.7

Grumpy old three legged manLiving on the Isle of Man I rely on the Guardian app when the papers frequently fail to arrive due to bad weather. It enables me to keep up to date with uk and world affairs and the handy current notifications are a must have. Excellent in every way including sport. This is even more important now, as being in lockdown, we are unable to obtain our daily Guardian newspaper. By reading the Guardian online I am able to keep, truthfully, in touch with UK and world affairs and the coved 19 situation. Thank you Guardian reporters and staff for continuing to produce the information, we all need at this time. And a big thanks to all NHS staff and all emergency workers everywhere, for your wonderful dedication, to keep us all safe. PS the humour of John Grace and Adrian Chiles certainly eases the daily doom and gloom. Mr G Davies.Version: 8.22

Analysing chaosAs someone who would like to live in a country that was widely regarded with respect for its values and fundamental decency, I deplore the successive Tory governments that have made us the laughing stock of Europe and beyond. The Guardian and Observer provide clear and penetrating analysis of the incompetence of the government, not just currently but for the last several years, and this is a helpful support for those of us who have little power to change things but a deep commitment to a more positive direction for the country in which our children and grandchildren will live. These newspapers provide a form of communal support to those of us who are unrepresented by Tory MPs..Version: 11.19

Excellent app, top quality journalismThe Guardian is my main source of news and current affairs thanks entirely to this app - it provides in-depth and informed coverage and analysis of local and global issues and events, stories are presented in a format which is both intuitive and appealing, and I find the "save for later" feature especially useful. By subscribing to my favourite contributors - such as "First Dog on the Moon" - I get alerted to new stories, cartoons and features that are relevant to me. Of all the news apps I have ever used, this is my favourite, and in my opinion the single best source of news and current affairs available..Version: 8.37

News you can trustTrustworthy news, great layout. I love A New Life After 60, Blind Date and Dining Across the Divide. Fabulous feature Ideas done well. Thanks Guardian.Version: 11.22

Favorite news sourceGuardian is a great news and arts source. Love the daily photos. App well designed and pleasant to use..Version: 11.43

Excellent journalismHello Good Guardian Folk Your journalism is par excellence. My main concern is the sustainability of your product. Presumably adverts underpin business viability. Donations send a mixed message to me. If you depend on donations then the product viability must be marginal? Which is a concern for journalists and readers. I presume that the dilemma is that you want big readership to attract advertisers; if you switch to subscription then readership goes down and advertisers are less interested to pay? I am a former economist, now retiree/pensioner, and appreciate quality journalism and an editorial policy that embraces good science, including climate science, good economics, good social values etc. You are in quite a different paradigm to News Corp, who continue to pay journalists to pander to climate denialists and alt-right politicians. I encourage you to maintain the timeliness, investigative skill, honesty and integrity of your journalism and editorial policies; civil society needs you and the planet needs you. Kind regards Glenn.Version: 7.6

GrdnfanBest writing of any news site - excellent coverage, multiple categories, clear & attractive layout - don't be without it if you're a newshound, and value a site that not only upholds the highest standards of journalism quality and integrity, but also does so with humour and style.Version: 11.39

Good for balanceI read The Guardian, Economist, Australian and ABC. By reading these 4, I feel that get a less biased perception of what might be ‘reality’. Guardian is mostly straight forward, but there is some strong left bias that forces me to read The Australian. I don’t have to read too many of the latter to know the view being forced on the reader. The ABC is barely tolerable with its click-bate leader lines that trap readers into reading something not promised. Unfortunately, the ABC can be well written and well balanced, but the untrustworthy click-bate makes it the last place I read. The Economist is my refuge for sober thinking, good scholarship, and the only place I feel sure I can feel confidently informed. But it’s not enough on its own, as they have biased articles where the persuasive language replaces balanced evidence. So, I need all four, and mostly my top three..Version: 11.42

Excellent content, beautiful appThe Guardian has set a high bar for the layout and content of a news app. So important when the mainstream media have shown us their bias and heavy influence from third parties. They provide an unbiased view and report on subjects objectively. I couldn’t ask for more in an app or news content. Glad to support them and their quality reporting. Great free content and worth the subscription to support them..Version: 11.47

The Guardian one of the best Newspapers in the worldExcellent source of news and current affairs. Thoughtful, balanced, and as accurate as it is possible to be in these awful times, The Guardian is, hands down, the best UK (and now World) newspaper we have. Please support this excellent news source which now has a 200 year record of providing news and speaking truth to power. I’ve read it every day since my teens and now at the other end of my life, my man and I still read it to each other over morning coffee. Truly thankful that I can still get it 8000 miles from the city where I read it first..Version: 11.33

A British Perspective......As a Canadian, I enjoy reading about the Goings On in Canada as it is portrayed from a foreign point of view, Thank you to The Guardian for your Point of View!.Version: 7.11

A great newspaperI love The Guardian. It has articles on wide ranging topics of real interest and importance: it’s exactly what I want in a newspaper, and there’s no paywall which I really appreciate, and I admire the underlying ethics. I’d give it five stars except sometimes I wonder how balanced their coverage of American politics is? I’m no fan of Trump, but if he ever did anything of merit I don’t think it would be reported in The Guardian. So, 4.5 stars from me!.Version: 7.13

RecommendedAttractively designed with lots of photos. A compelling way to read the news that compares favorably with the very good NYT app. The comments on political articles are less thoughtful than those in The Times, but sometimes raw rage and non-prissy language seem more appropriate. Also, The Times doesn’t dare to publish cartoons. The Guardian’s cartoons are brilliant and indispensable (though some of them don’t blow up properly for small-screen reading). The Country Diary column, which has run for over one hundred years, sets the news in a wider arc of nature and humanity. The Guardian takes you places no other newspaper can reach, and this app is a pretty nimble vehicle for that journey..Version: 8.46

Thank youAm an Italian reader from New Zealand and I would like to congratulate you for your excellent and clear articles. I learnt the English language, which I love, back in 1969 through ‘73, I was working for Westaway and Westaway a Scottish garments shop by British museum. I used Togo to work with my Guardian and Observer, so I have been following you for a long time. I was part of a team of staff from all over the world, I forged there wonderful friendships. The owners partners, very “English” people were lovely and generous and they had a great time with us foreigners and us with them. We never had racial problems, not even a hint. I have a daughter in London and I go back, not regularly enough, And I always enjoy “my” London. But what would London be without the great multitude of ethnicities? On the side, am still learning your beautiful language reading The Guardian. I haven’t contributed with a donation, my London daughter suggested she can do it for me, as I don’t deal with money via internet. Thank you for this opportunity, good luck with Brexit issue, I hope you will be part of Europe Regards, Raffaella Gianoli Turner.Version: 7.12

ReviewHighly value the Guardian for its honest, comprehensive, fair, brave news coverage and analysis. Guardian's commitment to focusing on issues such as equality and environment are also of great importance to me. Also really enjoy the extras such as books, photo stories and videos. I believe that the future of democracy and a healthy society and environment largely depend on the integrity and commitment of journalism such as that of the Guardian's. Additional the app is easy to use and navigate and visually engaging. Thank you!.Version: 6.9

Where’s the Scottish news?I read The Guardian most days and fully agree that good journalism should be protected and encouraged. So why don’t I pay a subscription? Your Scottish news is lazy and often out of date. There’s also a lot of English news in that section of your paper. I can read that in the main section. If you put more work into it residents of the other three nations might actually have some chance of understanding the current feelings of the Scottish people. It seems to me that a lot of anti Scottish sentiment, call it a lack of understanding if you will, stems from lies, inaccuracies and congenital bias. This is all perfectly understandable as this is all the other three nations have been feed for generations. I’m not asking Guardian journalists to favour Scotland in any way, only to report ALL of the facts. Only then will non Scots (and some Scots) actually begin to understand our position. I’m not asking anyone to agree with me, just to be given the opportunity to educate themselves. Perhaps then we’ll hear less uninformed drivel about “the begging bowl” and the Barnet Formula. Up to you. John Lawson Edinburgh.Version: 8.46

The Guardian: A stellar (5 stars )news sourceThe Guardian continues to be a stellar news source for the world eager to comprehend the world in which we all live. With unabashed comprehensive and uncompromising ethos, the Guardian provides its readers news relevant to today. Opinion pieces offer perspectives not shared by all, but can give the reader pause to muse, perhaps seeing “the other side” for the first time, thus opening the mind to other possibilities, and sometimes new direction of thought. The Guardian stands firmly upright, by itself, against any of the other credible, well-respected and lauded news sources from around the world, and it deserves to be given the utmost credit for the written styles of its reporters who strive to relate news stories that serve to educate the general public. Education is knowledge, and the Guardian brings that every-single day to its millions of readers..Version: 8.24

Balanced viewpoints.The Guardian not only has interesting articles, editorials and stories but they are well written, show a good balance of opinion without obvious bias. I read six newspapers each morning and find the Guardian the most informative with more accurate and researched writing, Thank you..Version: 11.33

A Great Source of World NewsThe Guardian is perhaps the best news source, worldwide. It’s journalism is excellent. Thank you..Version: 11.42

Media diversity.In Australia, the liberal government gave news corp almost complete control over print media. Other media is controlled by right wing ideologues, basically we now have Murdochracy, instead of democracy. The Guardian provides a crucial service to balance the narrative because there is no other voice of sanity, except for niche outlets. As a pensioner I wish I could contribute more money, for the climate appeal. Keep up the great work..Version: 11.18

Our trustworthy daily UK newspaperI find it a daily need to read the pages of all our newspapers. I never fail to be so very grateful that the Guardian is truly unique and more important because it is trustworthy without ever straying from passionate reports on everything that should matter. This is so very important now when there is so much unprofessional standards almost throughout our present government and is a sad reflection of our Prime Minister who continues to let down his office and country and has made our country look shamefully inept on the world stage. He has been allowed by his party and Conservative colleagues to continue this seemingly endless journey of great harm and history will condemn them all for such abuse of entrusted power..Version: 11.4

The best news app 10 starsI purchased the monthly subscription and it is well worth it. The news that is covered and the links within articles is simply “Outstanding!” To be able to read current news and link to older stories concerning issues is incredibly fascinating and informative. Each day I find new information and detailed stories I didn’t know existed. I love the stories. Was reading up on Chernobyl and the newly installed enclosure and went through each of the links reading about life within the exclusion zone and the possibility of a solar farm. The content and how easy it is to navigate is simply awesome. One article and its associated links can lead to hours of fascinating information at your fingertips. If I could change one thing it would be to include easier crossword puzzles for novices like me that are working our way up to the more difficult ones..Version: 5.1

A LifelineThe Guardian is vital to my my sense of connection and to my wellbeing. It is the only newspaper that doesn’t speak down to its readers and treats us as intelligent, decent human beings. Though it cannot sidestep the cascade of bad news we have suffered in the last few years, The Guardian also contains enough levity, entertainment and positivity to stop us all jumping off a cliff. I am in love with many of its journalists, who seem like people I would like to know. There is barely a part of it I don’t read (ok, the sport, but I understand a lot of other readers like that stuff). I appreciate the app for its convenience, though I always buy the hard copy on Saturdays. And my 92 year old Mum would be lost without Wordiply..Version: 11.31

App crashesGuardian was my go to for news, sport, opinion. Probably checked it 10 times a day. Happily paying the subscription to support this important source. But then ... all of a sudden, last week, for no apparent reason, app is crashing - I just can’t get in. I’ve not made any changes at this end. Have tried hard restart, trashing and downloading again but still no joy. Even tapping App Support in App Store just sends me into nowhere land. Really disappointing and have no idea why it’s happening to me (have checked with others who have iPhones like me but actually earlier versions of ios, but they are still ok to access) and what I can do to rectify..Version: 11.2

Keep up the great work. You make a big difference in our societyThanks.Version: 11.46

As good to fund as any good causeThe Grauniad remains one of the very last independent investigative creatures. Your interests are better protected by funding them than anything else you could do with the same amount of cash. The same would probably be true in relation to charitable giving. Your money could possibly do a beneficiary more good by virtue of the news they put out in the English speaking world than funding Oxfam workers nob polishing. This App is free of course and it is better than the BBC's. That's the Broadcaster not the black thing btw..Version: 4.48

Great app with one flawAs I said, I do like this app. I have the subscription to support them and so I don’t have ads, layout it nice, easy to use. However I have one gripe, minor as it may be. I often read on my iPad, 12.9 inch, and It bothers me that the body of the articles don’t fill to the right, or expand . If I have the iPad in landscape for example, text of the article centers and only 50% of the screen is utilized. I understand this is a small issue, it doesn’t hinder me from reading the articles or anything, which is why I still gave 5 stars. But if a dev happens to see this, I can’t be the only one with OCD that thinks about this every time I use the app!.Version: 11.31

How to use the appMaybe I have to confess that I am not the most tech savvy person in the world, but for that reason, I would like to know how to make a better use of The Guardian app. I think it’s complicated, I would love to hear the podcasts and more “live” news, but I am still struggling with that all! The Guardian is my favorite and (I think) most reliable source for the world news, but if You would ask me what I wish, I would say a podcast or simply “instructions” to use this app!! I still could not figure that out!.Version: 8.27

A Worthy ReadFor U.S. (California) readers, this paper provides a news and social perspective of America welcomely different from that of home grown newspapers. Opinion pieces, editorial cartoons, style and emphasis typically have a refreshingly “foreign” take to them. This applies not only to the U.S., but news of the world at large. A fine addition to your other reads. (On the other hand, if you’re lucky enough to still have a local newspaper, cherish it and keep that subscription. Where else to find Saturday’s Little League scores, or revelations of which City Hall politico recently got their knickers in a twist, or raided the public purse?).Version: 8.14

Thank youThe only source you can find honesty and truth.Version: 11.36

The best!I rely on excellent journalism in The Guardian every day to keep me up to date with global news and opinions. Mustn’t forget the great culture and good contributions as well. I would not be without my subscription. Thank you!.Version: 8.23

A great alternative to conservative Murdoch MediaThe Guardian has integrity. They listen to science and facts. They are independent and free from political and commercial interest. They just give you real investigative journalism that matters. I HIGHLY recommend that you use them as your main source of news within Australia and around the world. Also, throw them $5/$10 every few months to help them keep the service free. It doesn’t break the bank and it’s a small price to pay for upholding free and fair journalism, which is integral to every democracy..Version: 8.37

Variety and qualityGreat to read alternative viewpoints from other media. Especially good at leading on the climate emergency. Really weird that they are increasingly using miles as some sort of measurement. Must be a conscious choice cos it's dead easy to replace one with the other. Most of the world want metric. Can't hide from Europe by saying it's miles away..Version: 11.41

My first read of the day from NzKeeping with up to date every day it’s wonderful coverage and thankyou.Version: 8.39

Best news apThis is the best news ap I have used. Great use of colors to separate sections. Open a story to read, then hit Home once and it returns to the same spot you left , no scrolling back to where you were. Stories you read are dimmed. Hit home again and you go to the top. Again and it refreshes the news. Really, really well done. It caches some stories so you can load and read offline. My only complaint would be to age stories sooner- many stories stay for days..Version: 11.4

The Manchester GuardianOh! All of a sudden you recognize the greatness of the paper you are reading. It’s the Manchester Guardian. It hasn’t hidden its worker-supporting nature in 200 years. I don’t know what life was like for workers in coal-smoked factories of the Manchester of all of our imaginations, but yes, this is that paper. Someone always has to prove that the poor have brains or taste the ability to appreciate art. The brains role fell to the Guardian. It is not privately owned. There are no shareholders. It is supported by its readers. It has never had to hide its left-leaning editorial bent, just prove that the people who read it are very capable of understanding it. The Guardian is a flame that cannot be put out. It is beholden to no one and respected by all. Make sure you donate..Version: 11.22

Too much comment not enough newsI have been reading the Guardian for the last fifty five years and two issues irk me. 1. The balance of the paper is in favour of comment and features and not news. In which case I go to other sources for my news and sometimes wonder just why I continue with The Guardian. 2. I devour the weekend papers online but do not understand why the Guardian’s Food section does not have a decent wine section? I always feel that Fiona B has other fish to fry; and David Williams’ column on wines costing over £20 from outlets that will only sell six or more plus carriage is simply not catering for the younger reader like my adult children. So, they read other newspapers. Finally. The Sports page is always important to me and I’m left wondering why the Guardian has never sought to explain how foreign buyers of English football clubs can make a profit? Just how are these new US owners of Chelsea going to make a profit? Is the issue too difficult? Happy daze.Version: 11.37

International coverageI’m enjoying the Guardian’s coverage of world events with one notable exception. The coverage of internal politics in Mexico is often tainted with a distinct anti Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (ALMO) bias, very similar to the right wing press that dominates the media in Mexico. If the situation was reversed it would be akin to using the Daily Mail or Telegraph as a reference source for news about the UK. ALMO is fighting enormous odds to try and overturn decades of corrupt and incompetent governance which has enhanced an elite at the expense of the poor. In addition reversing the disastrous drugs policies that has been the source of so much violence and corruption of the Mexican state at all levels. Please if you use Mexican correspondents ensure they are not just aping the mainstream right wing media, criticise by all mean but have some balance and appreciate the enormous task ALMO Is facing and credit him the the advances he has made..Version: 11.20.1

Lefties, silly mid off and outstanding graphicsDespite a tendency- I guess it’s just by genetic default- to veer to the left and sometimes embarrassingly (Margaret Thatcher is long gone and she did, by - the - way win successive majorities presumably voted in by the British and by so doing, save the U.K. from complete self immolation) .. oh where was I? Oh. Yes, the Guardian... The range and quality of arts reporting is truly outstanding. The respect, time and analysis of fine arts is second to none. The care and attention to photography especially is absolutely first rate. Architecture. Wonderful. The world overview is excellent. Sports seems very good too. But I’m Canadian so I can’t really comment but weirdly I have found myself trying to decipher an article on cricket. Silly mid off? What the hell is that? The outstanding graphic design of your app and interface is masterful - so clear, and easy to navigate. Well written introductions and overall consideration given to the way news writing is truly integrated with art direction means that the full vocabulary of typography, colour, photography and graphics work seamlessly with narratives, to deliver the news with a thoughtful punch. Keep up the good work..Version: 8.6

Great newspaper!Very informative and easy to read - first paper I read in the morning..Version: 11.42.2

BiasThis publication has a proud history as its name suggests but in recent times has lost considerable objectivity in many articles and the subject matter; gender politics, me2, to name but two areas where jaundiced views are dispatched yet no contra views given room unless to decry- wake up and ensure balanced articles feature more prominantly , journalistic integrity is at stake otherwise you lend credence to bias and rhetorical clickbait.Version: 8.6

Most reliable news and informationMy interest in the the Guardian was piqued by its analysis of two events years apart, the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 and the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001. There was not a reliable and trusted news source for me after the advent of Fox News until the Guardian app became available along with subsequent paid membership. The Guardians moniker is an apt description of its mission which is to be a guardian of truth and justice for our planet and all that inhabit it. It is ironic that I have to rely on the Guardian since corporate interests in my own country, the US, caused the death of “truth in journalism”. I truly appreciate that the Guardian is available to anyone with access to a phone or computer with probable exception to China and others with repressive regimes. Thank you..Version: 11.15

Generally good reportingI appreciate the Guardian’s stories, reviews, editorials and varied points of view. I check the news first here as American sources lack in substance except the N. Y. Times. But all papers can be improved as they all have an agenda and either leave out or push specific stories. There are also many silly stories for the very bored plus ideas of what to wear or do if you have no imagination and need others to give you direction. I still miss Michael Tomasky where people debated issues which included Americans and Europeans point of view..Version: 10.4

Top of the pileIf I could have only one text news source, it would be the Guardian. Val T., Nova Scotia.Version: 11.34.1

Worth paying the subscriptionA great news app that I use constantly throughout the day. Well-written articles. Good curation of US news on the home page. Real-time as-it-happens news updates give just the right amount of detail and are generally reliable. While my sympathies lie with the left-wing point of view in the US Comments pages, it would be more interesting to include some other perspectives. Great football/soccer coverage. The cryptic crosswords are worth the price of the subscription. The app works smoothly very smoothly..Version: 10.2

No paywall. Honest and diligent leftward leaning news.They hold themselves to high journalistic standards one of which prevents them from putting up a paywall. Journalism is essential I wish they would allow you to support them on a sliding scale. My current job situation won’t allow it. Only improvement would be a slide towards the center to fill the void in nuanced and democratically available (free) journalism. They are the last ones standing it seems and they lean so left. Download. Read. Support. Knowledge is our lifeblood and without free journalism we all die of ignorance..Version: 7.4

ReportingVery balanced viewpoints and summaries on the issues that matter trustworthy news ,always give the full story unlike other papers that like to dramatise everything.Version: 11.39

I can Rely on consistent accurate reporting.Extensive coverage of local and global news is important to me. I am a Lismore resident and we have been suffering and cut off. My Guardian news covers our local situation in a very matter of fact way plus I get information about what is happening in other areas of the world apart from Australia. We have no NBN here at present but the Guardian App I can access via my mobile data. A little something that makes life here at present a little easier. Keep up the great work you are doing. It is appreciated..Version: 11.6

Great redesign!I love the new redesign! I had mostly stopped reading after the last redesign a few years ago - the light weight font (especially in white text over magenta half-device-width squares) was really hard to read. I also found it cartoonish, but the main problem was I couldn’t read it. I went from a daily reader, to just checking occasionally for balance against my other news sources. The new design is bold, more serious, and easy to read. Thank you for respecting my larger type preference. I’m back as a reader! I have ignored, with some guilt, your donation requests. Going forward I’m happy to donate, as the format now allows me to enjoy your valuable content..Version: 5.1

Terrible search and broken handoffThe results of searching within the app show no logic and are not sortable by anything that might be useful to the user. The only pattern seems to be the thing I am seeking is not there, but I find it instantly on the Guardian web site by using Google. This is no less annoying because the usual reason I’m searching is because the headline I was reading has disappeared in front of my eyes as the page refreshes. And handoff?! Someone has implemented the entry point for handoff to enable some other feature like universal deeplinks, but not either rejected handoff requests completely or implemented it in full. At least the blue banner came back..Version: 7.10

Something honestThe Guardian is unashamedly progressive. Its values reflect the values I grew up with. I don't always agree with the journalists but they are of a very high quality and their stories are based in fact and their opinions are independant. They don't follow the tabloid practices of spewing bile and toxin in order to attract readers. As a result it is the only newspaper I pay for, having boycotted all Newscorp product for a long time. Congratulations on your efforts, please keep up the good work..Version: 11.12

Great contentI love the guardian, the content is always great and I truly believe this is the best news service out there (with ABC a close second). But I do have to take one star off because of the formatting, the layout is unpleasant to the eye and the font makes it hard to scroll through stories. It seems very clunky in comparison to other apps. If you spend some time on the ABC news app, then look at the guardian app, the contrast between the two is quite stark with ABC news miles ahead in layout and format..Version: 8.48

Simply MarvellousI have to say I am very partial to their articles, concisely written and engaging. The Guardian provides impartial, reputable journalism which is a breath of fresh air - many news outlets' reputations leave a lot to be desired nowadays. Gone are the days sifting through sensationalist news stories, only to find an eye catching article with no real story to support it. The app itself is seemingly well constructed with no glitches which I have encountered. Advertisements are minimal and not necessarily invasive. Moreover since subscribing, they have totally disappeared. I have absolutely no qualms in paying - the high calibre of the website and app itself makes it worthwhile. Overall, a myriad well-written articles from all genres to delve into, perfect for anyone, anywhere..Version: 4.42

All the news that's fit to print.I have subscribed to the New York Times, the Boston Globe and the Globe and Mail, the Guardian is more interesting and provides more variety than any of them. You can sign on every day and be engaged by everything from political commentary to food and travel, with some voyeuristic options in Lifestyle if you are on a diet and have had enough articles on what is wrong with the world..Version: 11.42

The best news source in the world, owned by its readersI cannot live without it. I am proud to be a subscriber. One of the strongest voices for transparent media in our murky fake new-filled world..Version: 11.46

Still the bestI was introduced to the Guardian newspaper when it used to be called the Manchester Guardian. By my dad. Enoch Powell was bleeding Britain out of its moral compass, Cliff Richard and the Beatles were ruling the waves. Tony Greig was leading the English cricket team. Since then I moved countries and occasionally lost touch with my favorite broadsheet . I would occasionally scour the sidewalks of Calcutta and pick up a seven-day old Guardian that would cost me my entire week’s pocket money. I would keep it by my pillow, till the week after. And then came the internet. The Guardian has been my go to site every few hours on my iPhone. As if my small hands were made to hold the Guardian all the time. Please continue the excellent journalism and writing. Thank you!.Version: 8.11

A reliable news SourceIn a world where questions hang over the veracity of news feeds, the Guardian can be trusted to provide accurate news and attributable opinion..Version: 6.8

Very informative and accurate reporting, good entertainment valuI get all my news and general information from The Guardian and it is perfect. I obviously can’t read it all but I find everything extremely interesting. I also love the comment pieces that are always dead right. Best news supplier and commentator! Sometimes the Guardian is my only information and I believe I get absolutely everything important going!.Version: 10.40.1

Best news reporting in the world.Read the Guardian daily. It is above and beyond the other news I read. Thanks!.Version: 11.38.1

We Need The GuardianThis is my first review, and I have to make it known, that in the present particular political climate, in the UK, and across the globe, this is the only daily newspaper that makes its position unbiased, choosing instead to deliver punctual, and too rate news articles from highly accomplished reporters, and first class writers, such as George Monbiot, on his Climate Crisis reporting and comment. I have followed daily what is happening in Gaza, and like many others, have been shocked, but to have facts from the ground as clear and timely as that of the Guardian, can at least help me to understand the situation in Gaza, as much as anyone can, and make an informed viewpoint from it. Thank you for your service to the public that take up your grounded and excellent paper. I have subscribed, even though I am a low income pensioner because of the above, and goes to say that money isn’t everything, but it helps, but so does the truth, imparted by your paper, so thanks again..Version: 11.45

Great app very handy - loads on thereI don't need to buy the guardian paper paper anymore- this is so much more convenient. Maybe some of the features in print are not here but I can access the news I need easily. On the tube, I might see a provoking metro headline but can read the guardian's reporting on the topic too- I read around to get different viewpoints, but the guardian is probably my most-read media outlet. The film content is great too and is a succinct way to get a fast update. I'm a guardian supporter and will continue to be, not just for their reporting and insight, but because this app means I can access the new whenever I need to..Version: 11.21
