The crossword update is terrible! The puzzle doesn't fit on the screen. The haptic tic is gone when using the keyboard. The share button is everywhere... who shares a crossword answer?

I don't see any value when I click on articles. they won't allow me to read them because they want money

The Cosmo-Guardian. 'We don't have billionaire owners...'We just blackmail readers to subscribe by limiting article access. Shocked to see so many one star reviews but not surprised. The application has been simplified, meaning you can no longer customize it. Digital menu and article headlines read like Cosmopolitan magazine. 'Breaking News: Apple unveils folding phone'!

Don't install this app! I just paid £120 to renew my subscription but I still don't have access to any articles. The Guardian help desk says that this is between me and Google and they can't help. Apparently I should have signed up via The Guardian website. What a massive ripoff.

I was enjoying this app until one day, it said I could only view ten more articles for free. What? I was a SUBSCRIBER at $15/month. I tried contacting customer service and they COMPLETELY IGNORED ME so I decided to cancel. They billed me another $15 AFTER I canceled and then another $18 the next month. At this point, I have told my credit card company to step in. DO N-O-T SUBSCRIBE TO THIS SERVICE.
