Ratings and reviews

Politically, this newspaper fits my attitude. The writing is well done and interesting. I like the random aspects of it too; Thursday quiz and gaming news. My major bugbear is that you market yourself as UK. You are English. Scottish news is shockingly bad. I also struggle with the layout which I didn't used to. There used to be lots of interesting articles from all over the world on the first page. Now, it's mainly just uk and you have to go to each individual section.

The app has a consistent flaw, which I do find very Annoying. Never have charts and some embedded images displayed within news articles ; I always have to open the page in Chrome. This is not a new fault, it has existed for years. And now, Video doesn't play I have to open articles in Chrome where it all works. Then I have adverts, which is annoying as I'm a paid subscriber.

In keeping with the era of Ensh1tification, of you rotate your phone in the middle of reading an article- say you're lying in bed and tilt the phone a bit too much-then the app loses its place and scrolls it back to the start of the article. Now you've lost your place reading and you have to scroll scroll scroll back down to where you were. Annoying. As is some random Guardian podcast from months ago which starts playing when the phone is in the car.
