I really enjoy this app but recently I haven't been receiving updates from all the journals I am following. Whenever I click on the 'following' section of the app it just says there are no updates, even when I can clearly see by looking through the newspaper that journalist on my list have uploaded new content. Anyone else having this issue/knows how to fix it? I have already tried reinstalling.
The app worked well except my battery usage jumped up (ver prior to Feb 1/17 update). I turned off all notification options & offline reading and any other auto update settings I could find, yet it was still running in the background and accounting for 1/2 of the battery consumption when sleeping. I would like to be off and only update when I manually tell it to.

Great journalism. My go-to news source throughout the day. I've even become a supporter to pay for it (as is the right thing to do). Though advertising driven, there are no annoying pay walls in the app. It is well designed, easy to use, and works well in offline mode.

... too much stupid, opinion which should have no place on a "newspaper" or its app. Also, why does it have to open Chrome first when I click on a link in my daily mail? Update - too much "Opinion", i.e. propaganda. And when I make a perfectly apposite comment, it's deleted for being " off topic". WTF!? So Mich for independent journalism. Uninstalling.

I hardly ever read NYTimes anymore,.the Guardian is more interesting and incisive and never plays footsie with government or corporations. Two things the app needs: Find in page and Open in browser. Still, for the hq coverage and independent journalism, 5 stars.

Gaurdian is very well rounded journalism. The coverage is far reaching and in depth. Plenty of free material. Notifications are still a bit clunky, although I have not looked into how to fix them.

I love the guardian as a news source but this app is no different to going on the website. I want a widget so that I can get breaking news delivered straight to my home page.
Super user friendly app (and I love the guardian). Great breaking news push notifications - can't decide if I like the guardian or BBC better!
Read it every day, all the time. I travel alot to remote places and it keeps me posted on all the news wherever I am in the world. I love Lost in Showbiz, Reel history...
Decent app. I'd like to see images along with the notifications on the lock screen. Also, I wish to never see the words "got a minute" ever again. Besides that, really like this app.
The Guardian is my bastion of sanity, of in-depth and of breaking news, delivered with clarity, with balance and with cohesion. I could not get through the day without this app and my regular updates.
It'a a great paper. My primary source of information. The app is constantly improving too. Subscribe, it's cheap and you'll be helping keep free speech and responsible journalism alive.
Another Liberal collection of cr@p! They claim to be unbiased but it should be called CNN's Guardian.
Really good news app. Can find it a little slow loading at times, otherwise would certainly be 5 stars.
I wanted to keep up with the latest news this year and this app does the job beautifully. Good layout and no irritating pop up ads 👍
Most well made app on the store for news without a doubt. The content is reliable and informative and most centre ground out there, neither a left or right wing bias.
This is a typical one sided liberal rag. Expect all Trump and America bashing articles to have comments turned off. Completely worthless to everyone except Democrats who like being told what they want hear with no scary counter thoughts or facts.
Almost my home page. Wonderful website full of top notch journalism. News, sports, culture and science sections are particular favourites of mine. I've recently started subscribing so no ads. And just discovered the weekly football podcast. The site that just keeps giving.
Amazing news reports, wonderful accuracy. So I still wonder why I have to get my honest news from the UK, is Americas news killed off by commercialists?
One sided as all media is when it come to the president. Shame on America and the media for no longer ha e ingredients respect for the office or the man. Ever thought I'd see the day Americans would turn their back on their leader.
The guardian labs thing is intrusive and users should be allowed to dismiss it.
Still freezes and closes whenever it wants. When reading offline the articles lose the photos. Last review was 4☆, then 3 now 2 as problems continue. Like the articles, dislike the lack of free crossword on the app version.
For breaking news, and global perspective, this can't be beat!
The individual stories can take a while to scroll through at times as nothing is categorised on the main page, but otherwise more up to date than BBC.
Love this app, simple to use. Seem to be having problems with loading content from menu now though.
It's a good app and the news coverage is some of the best out there. The Guardian is the highest quality, well-balanced journalism in the uk
App is great but this is a feminist rag that deletes even the mildest critisizm of feminist rhetoric.
Love the Guardian's coverage of the USA and this app makes it possible to easily read and get to it - thanks!
Top app. I have installed it on very first day. like the style and everything.
My favorite news app - thoughtfully designed, informative, and reliable. The content is head and shoulders better than any American news site.
Never liked the newspaper but really enjoy the app. Good journalism , informed of news as it happens and a range of interesting articles in all news groups.
Latest update seems to have killed all notifications for journalists and series I follow. Please sort.
As a US resident the Guardian has been so information and more trustworthy than many other sources. The app is easy and the stories that are covered and reporting are both so well done
I like being able to get to new or breaking news alerts with just one click.
I love this app because I love the Guardian's journalistic integrity. That said, the app makes the news I want to read easy to find and read.
I would love support The Guardian but it's to expensive. How about a $2 subscription
Excellent presentation. Never thought I'd be able to read a newspaper on a phone!
Love this app for just about the last responsible, reliable, credible newspaper group. Its content is head & shoulders above the rest. Mind you, I also rate the i (& the Independent stable).

What's New
Superbowl LI is here. For this release, we're adding the ability to follow along with another new type of one off notification. If you're in the US, you'll be asked to opt-in to receive the alert. If you're elsewhere in the world and are keen to see what all the fuss is about, you can go to the notifications section of settings and opt-in there.
As well as this, there's some more background work going on for some upcoming features, in addition to the usual squashing of bugs and crashes!
