The Guardian Editions for Positive User Reviews
✓ Text sizeSuddenly the text size has drastically reduced and if - as stated in FAQs - you alter the text size via accessibility, the size of the text on all other apps etc becomes far too large. Prior to the recent changes the text size on the app could readily be adjusted to a more readable size, so why has this changed?.Version: 8.0
✓ Well done guardian peopleAt last the guardian on iPad. Pricing policy across apple is one global price point that means a pretty high price for us down in oz, but still worth to get a uk news fix. Would like to see more sharing on image banks and some video please. Are they going to drop the ads when the price kicks in?.Version: 1.0
✓ Support In-depth Reporting and a Fantasic AppThe app is exactly as you would hope: fast, easy to navigate and, most importantly, easy to read. And it's full every day with clever, in-sightful and in-depth reporting..Version: 3.5
✓ If only Australia would learnThe iPad app brings the quality journalism of the Guardian (much improved from the days of the Gruniad he he) with an intuitive and friendly interface. I am looking forward to the Observer being part of the iPad edition. I read the Guardian daily for its world coverage. Really wish wish Australia had a paper and Journos of this calibre. Then they might make an app worth purchasing..Version: 2.0.1
✓ EXCELLENTFast.works good..Version: 4.3
✓ Great app for a terrific news outletThe Guardian app downloads the entire content of the web-based edition of The Guardian on a daily basis, rather than presenting an interface to an online edition. This means that you can take it with you, rather than needing a wifi connection to access it. In the event of updates, the entire issue is updated. This is a bit of a bother at times, but necessary to achieve the degree of portability. Content is well organized on the app and there are links to related content on the Guardian website, allowing you to delve deeper into a topic or explore its background. Guardian journalism is first-rate, giving readers a view of the world available in no US daily publication, not even the NY Times. And the subscription price, through the ITunes store, is extremely reasonable..Version: 3.0
✓ Excellent app but I will not be paying a subscriptionAn excellent app but not worth a subscription, sorry..Version: 1.0
✓ Fantastic newspaper, buggy App?I don't know what else there is to say. It's a bright bold exciting design that is intuitive to use. I love using it. However having said that, my one gripe is that every time I try to download the days newspaper it ALWAYS crashes the first time and always loads perfectly the second time..Version: 1.0
✓ This is what an iPad app should beFantastic news app! Navigation is easy and logical. Well designed. Just the right amount of information that does not weigh you down with too much detail..Version: 1.0
✓ For the most part, very good.The content in the app is obviously superb and the design is very nice, however it could be made better. Swiping between articles is too sensitive. I scroll through the articles with my right thumb, holding my iPad in portrait, but I accidentally find myself looking at the next article all too often. The text should also be In the centre of the screen and cover about 3/4 of the screen's width (similar to Safari Reader). It would be nice to be able to dread in full screen, too. Most of the time the sidebar just distracts from the text. It would be nice If it was situated at the bottom and hidden unless the user swipes up from the bottom of the screen..Version: 1.0
✓ MgbutlerI cannot download the current edition of the Guardian IPAD edition and I hope that this does not continue otherwise I will expect a refund. I have tried to make contact to make an inquiry but there is no obvious address..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Great designI might be a Yank, but the Guardian offers plenty of content from an ecumenical and universal ethical grounding that it's worth reading. The design is also fabulous, offering both simplicity, great color and contrast design, and interactions that are both useful and interactive..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Fantastic!Recreates the newspaper experience from a holistic, rather than imitative, position. Graphics are gorgeous, interface is incredibly usable and inviting, and, of course, the journalism is excellent. This is an excellent model for other papers exploring the iPad as a publishing platform. Well worth the money for a subscription..Version: 1.0
✓ The way a newsstand app should beThere are so many really good things about this app. It pushes the new edition every morning, so that I can read it even offline, the quality of the interface and the content are both superb, it comes with a free 3 month trial subscription, you can choose to update the edition later in the day when the evening print edition is published, it integrates sharing without being obtrusive. The Guardian app is the standard by which I measure all other newsstand publications, which means that the bar is set awfully high..Version: 1.0
✓ Lovely app, but future subscriptions too expensiveLovely app, but like many other newspaper apps the price is far too high for what is essentially a repackaged website. From January they will charge AUD$15 a month. As you're paying mainly for convenience and, unlike a physical paper, can't keep it after the subscription period ends, no more than AUD$10 a month would be more appropriate. Also, advertising text dropped into emailed articles should be dropped from is (to be) an already paid app. (This review coverd the app, not content. Which is wonderful, except that G2 section is missing and, unlike the similarly priced kindle edition, there's no Sunday Observer included in the price.).Version: 1.0.4
✓ SuperbWhat would you expect from the best newspaper in the world. This! It's fantastic. As an expat living in Sydney this is a must..Version: 1.0.2
✓ A different perspectiveGreat to get an outsiders' view of US news and also learn about events in the rest of the world that we don't always hear from American media. Articles are very well written..Version: 3.2
✓ Issue resolvedThanks for the update, issue now resolved.Version: 7.1
✓ Love the interfaceThe interface is great! Very easy to navigate between articles and issues and rich and vibrant display with colors. Other journals need to take a cue..Version: 1.0
✓ Great appGreat app for reading the news and like the new Australian feature.Version: 7.0.1
✓ Best news app for iPadThis is probably the best app in the newsstand. It is formatted well, you can actually select text (it isn't just a huge image file) and now it has instapaper integration for some things (which is a nice way to save content rather than insisting we change our workflow and save things in the app like every other newspaper app). Performance seems to have improved with this update too..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Twitter integration seems brokenThe UI is pretty and intuitive. I definitely recommend this App. However, as I said in the title, Twitter integration seems broken. They should try to fix it..Version: 1.0
✓ Great way to read the GuardianI'm surprised at the bad reviews of this app. It's a great way to read the Guardian as opposed to the website - well designed and thought out for the iPad from scratch, rather than trying to replicate a newspaper experience. Only complaint is the Observer doesn't seem bundled with the Guardian subscription, as this page would lead you to believe, and sometimes navigation is difficult. A few extra features like saving for later and/or better integration with Instapaper wouldn't go astray either. But they're nitpicks - this app is great..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Good value, more options would be welcomeBoth Guardian and Observer are excellent and valued sources of objective comment. However, I would appreciate being able to subscribe only to the Observer, or only to the Guardian Australia, for example, from time to time. Finally, I would like to have the option of subscribing to the full newspaper, on line..Version: 3.2
✓ Brilliant benchmarkReally well put together and lovely layout and the intent is quite good too. Well done..Version: 1.0
✓ A brilliant way to deliver the newsNot that I would expect any less of the guardian, but this is a beautifully seamless way to read the news from one of the best newspapers in the world.Version: 3.5
✓ Looks good but misses the markA very handsome app but with the style and technology sections missing, I can't see shelling out 10 quid a month for it. I would much prefer the ability to customise the content to suit my tastes. For now, I'm better satisfied with reading it online..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Five starsGuardian app is the best designed app for ipad. Content is rich, writing is excellent. Other publications should learn from the Guardian app..Version: 3.0
✓ A vast improvement on previous versions....... but still a little basic and lacking in features compared to its free sibling app. My priorities for improvements would be 1) dark mode for reading at night, 2) a way of saving articles to come back to later (even if you have to switch to the main Guardian app to read them again) and 3) some kind of indicator to show how far through the article you've got - there's something a bit disorientating about having no idea whether you're halfway through a short article or at the beginning of a really long one!.Version: 7.1
✓ The Guardian is indispensable!In our time zone, here in Australia, we get the new edition every lunch time, an read it every afternoon. The best editions are Friday with film, and Saturday and Sunday with reviews and wonderful magazine articles. Life without the Guardian app - unthinkable! Steve.Version: 3.5
✓ Love it!We love this app and we will be paying for it. It has all the sections we've missed with The Guardian Weekly, and the graphics look ace in the iPad. Excellent app..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Just Updated and Can’t Use!I have been using this App for years and really like it but now they updated it and the App Store subscription doesn’t work and I can’t use it at all. This despite me writing twice during the beta which I also couldn’t use because of this issue including an email just before the launch mentioning the same issue and now the actual new version of the app is out it still doesn’t work!.Version: 5.0
✓ Great content, UI needs workI love reading the guardian’s journalism, but the massive white space down the side is such a waste on my iPad. Plus a dark mode would be good instead of everything being on a white background..Version: 9.2
✓ Gorgeous, great for offline, but missing sectionsI finished the 81 day free trial two months ago, and still come back to this app almost every day. It's perfect for the subway, because there's no need for an active internet connection. Nonetheless, this is a smaller edited version of the print or online version. While the interface and portability are great, I've occasionally been on Facebook or Twitter and seen a friend post a great article from the guardian from sometime in the last week, only to find that although I had read all 6 iPad editions that week, had not seen the article. While I was visiting London I bought the paper edition a few times to compare that day's content and the iPad content. The images and text flow much better in the paper edition, and with the online edition the comments are always entertaining. The in-app browser function could be improved too. Nicest: paper edition Fullest: online edition Most portable: iPad edition.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Fantastic App and JournalismI have so thrilled with the updates to this app. The journalism is second to none and presents a refreshing voice to anything here in the U.S. The app is easy to use and beautiful in its presentation of the news..Version: 3.0
✓ Good, but a few bells and whistles?Overall a great experience to consume some great content. A few suggested improvements: 1. Some indication of how far through an article the reader is would be helpful, maybe a vertical scroll bar. 2. An indication of if an article has been read, and for this to sync across devices..Version: 6.9
✓ At my own paceGreat for those who want to stay informed but are not keen on the internet’s never ending feeds..Version: 6.8
✓ Great appI like this app. One of the better UK newspapers... If you are slightly to the left. What I really about is I could share stories with friends unlike some of the other UK newspaper apps. I wish they would give you the option to see the actual newspaper as it appears in print..Version: 2.0.1
✓ SuperbExcellent app with a daily summary of all the news I need to know..Version: 6.8
✓ My favorite news sourceI have been a subscriber since I got my first iPad and could not do without a daily review of the news in The Guardian. The daily photographs and special articles made for mobile devices make it a must get app..Version: 3.2
✓ Simply the bestLiving in Australia, sadly I cannot buy the Guardian newspaper every day, but this app is the next best thing. It is hands-down the best way to read the paper digitally, the design of the app and curation of the content is absolutely top notch. Couldn't live without it!.Version: 3.5
✓ Thought I'd found a bug......no icon! But it's gone into that pesky new "newsstand" icon. You do know we can make our own folders if we really want them, don't you Apple? Hopefully the update in ios 5.1 will allow us to decide where we want to put our own icons. I currently have the Guardian iPod icon on my front "page" of my iPad, and would prefer that I could do the same should I subscribe to the iPad edition. The App itself is lovely on first viewing - smooth, pretty easy to navigate etc. Much better on the iPad than the current iPod/iPhone version. Given that one print issue is now about AU$1.85 weekdays and $3.25 on a Saturday, $15 a month is about a week and a day's print cost for the whole month. As long as we get access to ALL the sections, that is... would be a shame to miss out on the extra features in G2 and the weekend mags etc. If the alternative is 2 print copies of The (Melbourne) Age a week versus 6 days of The Guardian? No comparison. Where do i sign?.Version: 1.0
✓ PerfectThis is a perfect digital newspaper. It surpasses print in every way, and the Newsstand automatic download works flawlessly. The journalism is top notch as well. As a bonus they are running a trial 1 year free subscription. How can you beat that?.Version: 1.0
✓ Overall: Attractive and AppealingUser Satisfaction: I enjoy reading the Guardian. It is an interesting news app with very appealing features. The app offers a great news source. The app's graphics are pleasing. The overall app is attractive. I would highly recommend this app to a friend or colleague..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Twitter integration not workingNice app and a great news source. Will subscribe when my trial period runs out. For whatever reason, Twitter integration doesn't work for me. I'm wondering if it's because I'm in the US and this is a British newspaper expected to be read in the UK? Or only tested from the UK perhaps? Hope that's fixed with the next update..Version: 1.0
✓ The Guardian and ObserverGreat newspaper in digital form. Love every day's reporting..Version: 3.0
✓ Fantastic!Just a fantastic app! Very well thought out, very well designed, uses the iPad features to the maximum extent. Guardian has a great website, but this app provides an amazing experience, definitely recommend..Version: 1.0
✓ A great subscriptionThis app works really well and its easy to swap between the UK, USA and AU editions whenever you want to through the settings button..Version: 6.9
✓ Excellent contentExcellent content, love how it downloads new issues overnight. But it always crashes one time when I open it in the morning. Open it again, then it works..Version: 1.0
✓ Great reporting, great writingThe first paper I read every morning..Version: 3.5
✓ BrilliantWorks well, looks great, could use some more interactive material, but otherwise, I can't fault it..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Excellent App!Really nice and easy to use, looks modern and presents daily stories well! Thoroughly recommend it.Version: 6.8
✓ Excellent app and contentWell designed, easy to use and it works perfectly on my iPad3. This is a solid publication and the app does it justice. Great effort!.Version: 2.6
✓ Can we get bigger text?Love the content, best way to read the paper, but can we get bigger font? Other papers give bigger font online so that would be great!.Version: 4.14
✓ Wish the other publications would follow suit.Great format, excellent content, and an awesome free trial that gives you a chance to experience it all with no risk..Version: 1.0
✓ Returned to gloryAfter a short-lived horrible experiment with full page ads, this is again the very best newspaper app.Version: 3.0
✓ Excellent updateThis latest update works really well. Articles are grouped (e.g. coronavirus, world, journal, financial) and it is easy and intuitive to move from one article directly to the next or to go back to the top view and search for the next article you are interested in. As a subscriber, I really enjoy the lack of all adverts. It is a pleasure to use..Version: 7.1
✓ Top notchGreat coverage, great app!.Version: 3.1
✓ Why do people whinge about paying?Why do people on this and other apps complain about paying for subscriptions? What do they expect, companies should provide it all for free? Journos don't need money to live? This has a perfectly reasonable subscription fee. $15 per month is just 50c per day. That's far cheaper than a physical newspaper and more convenient..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Great app but where is The Obsever?Wonderful app bringing me back in touch with my fave UK Newspaper - sanity in a mad world. Very useable and intuitive. The price would be acceptable if it included The Observer. There appears little reason why it is not included given there is no Observer app..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Great newspaper appBest one out there. Easy to use. Interesting paper.Version: 3.0
✓ Excellent presentation of newspaperThis app maximizes the potential of iPad format to present the newspaper. The combination of swiping and scrolling works well and quality of graphics is high. I have used several other equivalent apps for print newspapers and the Guardian is the best. Advantages include: downloading content which can be read when off line; clarity of photos and graphics; easy to navigate, etc. and of course there is the excellent content and well written journalism..Version: 3.2
✓ Easy to stay informed.The app is set out like a real newspaper without all those irritating pop up adverts. The very best of journalism and editorial comment.Version: 3.5
✓ Good readThe guardian app is one of my daily reads. Easy to use, and good access to the areas which interest me.Version: 3.0
✓ Fantastic appThis is the first review I have written despite having bought a great many other apps, but this is just such a great thing and I wanted to tell everyone involved what a great job they've done. I live in the US but love the Guardian and what it stands for, and this app exemplifies the brand at its best. Great journalism delivered with cutting edge, user friendly technology - all at a great price!!.Version: 1.0
✓ FinallyI was wondering how long it would take The Guardian to get it together and deliver an app with "teeth" suitable for the iPad. Looks great, works great and thanks for the generous free trial, I'll certainly be subscribing when it ends. Quality journalism is always worth paying for..Version: 1.0
✓ Best newspaper app to date!After trying many well known news apps, I am thrilled to have found the best app to date!.Version: 1.0
✓ Guardian App crashesI have the Guardian App on my iPad and when it use it and get to the Ffnancial page, it crashes. I wonder if it's something to the Channel 4 ads..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Easy to Navigate, No Distracting AdvertisementsI like the way I can save my reading preferences that sorts them into categories in which I’m interested. The app is very easy to navigate. It also eliminates the endless and annoying pop up advertisements that plague the NY Times app, which I stopped using because it was so awful..Version: 5.3
✓ New BugSince the new version was introduced the summary/index page consistently jumps back to the top whilst being scrolled through to pick the next item to read. Very frustrating! Otherwise excellent….Version: 9.3
✓ A good morning readFor a Brit living in Canada, this app provides well written, socially responsible articles keeping me up to date with national and international news and to the point commentary..Version: 3.5
✓ A joy to readLove it. Only wish they had an Australian edition....Version: 3.0
✓ Great appThe layout and design of this app is well thought out. Good balance between text and photos. Interesting to read stories from both The Guardian and The Observer, though I much prefer The Guardian..Version: 3.1
✓ Great app, let down by download speed.Really like the app, looks beautiful. However, the issue download speed is highly variable. Sometimes it's a matter of seconds, but most days it takes 15 minutes or more..Version: 1.0
✓ Works as I'd wantAs an app allowing me to read the Guardian with ease, good graphics and easy access to digital connections, this works very well. The future of papers!.Version: 3.1
