The Guardian - Live World News - Latest Quality Issues
Android
Nov 27, 2024
I am constantly having to delete and reinstall the app as it doesn't recognise that I have an annual subscription. I can't find a way to contact Google about it and the Guardian points out that my subscription is with Google Play not with them.

Delete
Removed app because they're now requiring sign in. That's the last straw for me, bad enough they ran Greenwald off and became a British MSNBC.
Android

I've had this app for years but the widget never seems to work. It's set to auto refresh but all I get is just banner and no news stories
Android

Limited access to the news inspite of paying for the entire year's subscription - says I'm not subscribed .Very strange, unfair and crooked .
iOS

Logging in no longer optional
Need to sign in to read anything now. The app's App Store privacy card doesn't explain this.
iOS

Forced sign in
First of all they limited you to how many articles you could read before taking out a subscription. Now they updated the app so you can't look at anything without register/sign in. The Guardian trying to force you to do something you don't want to. Hypocrisy? Irony? Whatever you want to call it, time to delete.
Android

Crosswords not scaling correctly for pixel 9 pro fold. You can't read the clue.

Great app & I love the dark appearance. Just slightly disappointed I can't read anymore articles due to reaching my free quota. I understand how the Guardian is funded but disability means I have an incredibly low income. Would still recommend nevertheless.

Articles fail to display on Android - Problem shared with Guardian but still not fixed again in latest 2024-11-25 update.
