What users say

Latest reviews, United States App Store.

★★★★★Oct 19, 2026
The News

It’s trustworthy. I look at The Guardian first in the morning and last before bed. And during night when can’t sleep. For world news, US news. It’s the best.

★★★★★Oct 15, 2026
Strongly Biased

The situation in the Middle East is ancient, layered, and complex. The Guardian’s reporting is simplistic, following its own narrative. This is not helpful or informative. I’ve found better, more balanced news sources. Epoch Times and Christian Science Monitor, for example, get higher marks from 3rd party evaluators.

★★★★★Oct 10, 2026
Often freezes

Often freezes and remains blank for up to 10 seconds when trying to load a page. iPadOS 27 on M1. Update: 10/26 worked for a while, now much worse than ever

★★★★★Oct 2, 2026
Current version is crashing

I use it daily; the most recent OS/app combo is crashing 100% of the time after a second of showing the main page

★★★★★Sep 25, 2026
Responsible

Funny how those who cry fake news the loudest and most frequently are actually the ones putting it out there. The Guardian is absolutely nothing like that!! respectful dependable, and trustworthy that is what The Guardian is.

★★★★★Sep 23, 2026
Good

Would be nice if larger widgets contain more headlines rather than a giant picture with only one headline.
