Love the Guardian and have read it religiously for years but in the current climate the app has become the domain for the wealthy elite sadly. I used to be able to afford the premium subscription a few years ago and at a push I could stretch to £5 a month but sadly I can't afford what they want. Sadly I've deleted the app and added the Guardian home page to my phone screen, which kind of replicates the app, but for free with no limitations. I do really value what the Guardian do and would love to support the paper, but just can't at the price they want, which is such a shame. Please reconsider your app pricing model.

I had hoped that by now, the functionality to customize the front page would be restored. Currently, the opening page for me is mostly hidden as I have zero interest in those sections. Worse, some sections can't be hidden, and there's the large Wordiply link. I don't love needing to navigate between tabs to read the sections that interest me. Why was the ability to personalize the app degraded? As much as I love The Guardian, I will likely cancel my subscription.

The app doesn't work well. Articles frequently don't appear when clicked on in main summary sections. Performance is deteriorating and needs addressing.

They are hopeless
Why, oh why, is a current (today's date) Lifestyle article only in the News in Focus section BUT does not appear anywhere in the Lifestyle section????

Great content, but the app just gets gets worse and worse. Down to one star, IMO. Who's bright idea was it to remove the best feature of the app - a customisable homepage? It was such a pleasure to open the app every morning and scroll down seeing all the stuff that I was interested in. Now, there's just stuff irrelevant to me and I often can't find and end up missing stuff I want. I used to subscribe, but now it's not worth it. I don't even open the app much anymore.

Very good app. The only reason it's not getting 5 stars is because every time I update I have to sort out my home page. Edit. The new update is not very good for tablet users. The My Guardian section, which you use only covers half the screen seen with big black borders on the side - why? As you don't get it on the homepage. I really don't know why they've changed it.

Latest version isn't the best. Older version was more user friendly and enjoyable. Add in the price hike in May and I think I may need to find another source.

So this is rubbish. I subscribed having been assured by an email from the guardian that I could log on via multiple devices but I can't and Google won't refund me...... Wow! Shame on you.
