not for small screens style over substance, previous version much better on small screens..i did try this version as beta but returned to the older one.. clearly Guardian didn't notice this.. don't mind adverts though, as it's free..

Turning too social justice warrior for me The Guardian was great, but now very often does not do it's research and copies whatever nonsense is trending with the Internet feminist and social justice warriors, which makes some articles too biased and inaccurate.

Great News Source One of the best sources of news I have found. Worth getting!

Andrew Landels June 9, 2016

Keeps me updated with news, without too much hassle Useful app to have, doesn't appear to have bugs or use excessive battery or data

K Williams June 9, 2016

News that matters It exposes you to news not just tailored to your locality but to the whole wide world. Superb articles and I am loving it so far. And I am still loving it still.

steve woolley June 10, 2016

Guardian as good as The paper. Easy to use and great on breaking news

David Marshall June 9, 2016

Football match stats not working I love the guardian news app, but the sports section gets worse with ever update. I know it's asking a lot, but can the app not just copy what the BBC app pushes out. With this latest update I can't open a previous football match score to see statistics. Please sort it.

Simon Nicholas June 10, 2016

Good Newspaper App By far the best UK newspaper app, content head and shoulders above the rest for its world view

Harry Carson June 9, 2016

Can often be trusted Not damning with faint praise. It is head and shoulders above the others.

Paul Tubb June 9, 2016

Excellent news app Others could learn a lot about app design from the Guardian

Sven Red June 9, 2016

Only accurate UK newspaper 10-06-2016: Unfortunately this app now seldom opens for me, very disappointing. Most times get message "Guardian app not responding, do you wish to close". Was considering upgrading to support them, but no point if it's unusable.

Wilma Chapman June 9, 2016

Used to be my fave app.... Sad but true but I cannot read anything anymore when the app is continuously crashing!

Gary Ho June 9, 2016

Ho Fast, small size app, stable

Gordon Brown June 10, 2016

Works well Very useful. Use it everyday. No problems with the app.

Susan Stone June 10, 2016

I am fairly conservative but find this news source to be fair and informative coverage. It does not just parrott all the other news ad nauseum.

Andrew Jones June 10, 2016

I have this on all my Android devices Wouldn't be without it

Marcia B June 9, 2016

Galaxy Note 4 Love app

Ayan Majumdar June 9, 2016

One of the rare organizations who I believe does unbiased reporting, at least for much of its reporting. And this app reflects that kind of reporting - to the point, bold and precise
