Ratings and reviews

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.

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.

5 Star if not for the horrible video player and crazy swipe right and left. Hit play and scroll. The player will be in the left corner and won't return. Hit play on YouTube, and the app is stuck in a loop. Can't get back the app bounces back to YouTube. Have to kill the app anytime a video is played. If you scroll an article up or down to read it and are not perfect, the app will swipe right or left to another article. Way too swns.
