The content is 5*. The interface is a weak 4* when it's working just right. The weird glitches drive it down. 1. Videos don't play in "serious" news articles, but do in movie reviews & (some) opinion pieces (weirdly enough they kill text scrolling in the opinion pieces). (BTW Vids fine in NYT app) 2. Begging for $£€ happens for a day or so every few weeks, I'm subscribed. 3. E-mailed help (about #1 above), not very helpful. I miss reading it on news360😥 RIP.

Was grand until it recently stopped working. All I get now is "cannot fetch dats try later". I uninstalled and reinstalled. Same problem. I can access the Guardian website fine. But I prefer using the now useless app. And, yes, I am logged in. - - update: it started working normally again after I submitted a bug report. I don't know if they fixed somerhing or it just fixed itself. Anyway, all good now.

Love the Guardian, not thrilled with the app. Trying to scroll up often ends up with the article scrolling right or left so while you started reading one thing, suddenly, you are in a completely different story. It is frustrating bordering on infuriating. So much so I am considering deleting the app altogether and just waiting until I am on my computer.
