The Guardian - Live World News - Latest Quality Issues
Android

I went onto the website to do the crossword, and that prompted me to try the app for a better experience. So I downloaded the app but I couldn't do the crossword unless I paid for a membership, which did not make for a better experience.

It was great to start with, but now it won't let me read anything without signing in.I don't care if it's free, I don't want to have to sign in. So now I have to uninstall it because it's useless. Really disappointed.

So many typos
Over just the past few years, the number of typos have increased and some of the articles seem to be written in a dumbed down way or even potentially partly written by AI? All I can say is that the quality has gone down in the writing style, and the typos don't help. I also paid for this app, but on the website, I keep getting pop ups to pay even more or subscribe and pay an additional fee to stop the pop ups. Not worth buying if I'm just going to have to pay a second time just to read the news on my laptop. I can get the same news written in more sophisticated language without typos from the NY Times and The Economist. I've cancelled my subscription to this app as it's frustrating to read.

Since they required the user to sign in this app is completely broken. I can see the headlines, and I am already signed in according to my profile information, but to read the stories it asks me to sign in again, which I do with the same email, then the screen goes white and nothing happens. I can no longer use this app for anything except headlines. Please sort this out.

it's good although the widget is often not working on my tablet as it is frequently missing it's button icons and it always says 'loading'.

NIGHTMARE to use. Poor layout & presentation. CAN & MUST DO BETTER.

How far it has fallen! And now their app keeps asking for a Subscription...not just to me but friends too. I guess they're getting desperate with their once proud 'We Never Use A Paywall' ethos. Definitely the paper needs a new editor, too. Tries too hard to be everything to everybody.

Nice App
I used to see my read articles in a different font. That feature has somehow vanished. Would be great to get it back.

Uninstalled due to now needing an account to use it. Absolutely no decent reason for this.
