Other reviews have mentioned a lot of problems with recent updates, and they're true, but for me the worst thing is that it's really janky to scroll. Unfortunate because it makes me irritable before I've even read any news, and that's not great considering what the news is like. (I should add, it's a good paper and I haven't cancelled my subscription. It's just I find the app now a worse experience all round than reading it in a browser.)

Long time supporter here. This used to be a great app. After a recent overhaul, the app seriously went down hill. Previous home page preferences went out the window, and after I selected new preferences they were automatically wiped and I had to go back to square one. Also, the app used to automatically save articles for offline reading, an amazing feature. Now, none of the download features work (both scheduled and manual downloads). Very frustrating to not be able to use the app offline.

Well done on pissing off a (soon to be ex) digital subscriber with the new updates. I can no longer easily access the content I want without extra clicks because I can't add things to the main page, and - to pick another random example - for making it so that I can no longer tell which crosswords I might have done and which I haven't yet done. UPDATE: Subs cancelled. I thought the Guardian wanted that £180/year. But as their responses to reviews here show, the Guardian knows best!
