The app gets worse and worseNot only can’t I select the news I want to see, they now push a load of minutiae at the top like a tabloid. I have to scroll past tons of sports news which is always in great depth on he home page but I can’t get to the news that actually mattes without having to dig around. This would be an easy…

Background process 100% batteryAny app that’s goes through the whole battery overnight whilst charging has to go no matter what you think of the content.

Keeps crashingThe current version crashes on nearly every article for me. Sometime lasting only a few seconds.

Articles de qualitéTrès bon articles couvrant une diversité de sujets

Quality journalism in a world of bias and misinformationQuality independent journalism. Facts and truth. What's not to like! Effective democracy requires honesty and openness, not only from our politicians but from the media. I feel The Guardian is one source of news and information that can be trusted.

Beacon of rationality and professionalismA light in the gathering gloom for those who seek to understand the complexity of our times.
