The recent changes to this app now mean that at last I can view the entirety of the content using TalkBack, and I find this now works verry well. I find the adverts unintrusive and I don't necessarily mind as I'm what is considered to be your clasic Guardian reader. The app is verry easy to use, and the content is "First Class", and the journalism and opinion is the "Gold standard".

I like most of the app. I wish "Listen" could choose voices. I vastly prefer British voices. Big annoyance - the app doesn't stay open like other apps. When (in Android) I click the lower-left corner button to show all open apps, The Guardian app doesn't show up. So I always have to go back to the app shortcut every time I want to switch between apps and get back to it. If I'm in the middle of an article and I flip portrait to landscape accidentally, it puts me back to the top or the article.

The app seems to be be stuck in dark theme, inherited from system settings. I used to have the Guardian app in light theme while Android was dark. 31 Oct: thanks for getting back to me. However, it would be nice to have a theme option within the app.

Can't even open daily summaries with headlines, the app keeps saying you've reached your monthly limit! I donate to the Guardian what I can but not that it is considered a "subscription". Pretty sad, using the good ol' browser instead... 😞

Blackmail to subscribe! Shocked to see so many other 1 star reviews here, but not surprised. How far it has fallen! And now their app keeps begging for a Subscription...I had already SUBSCRIBED but this was not enough $$$. Suddenly I was faced an article limit! No reply and therefore no subscription. The Guardian doesn't read these reviews it seems.
