Good app, great journalism, but the forced registration wall is a deal breaker for me. it's "free" and and secures their financial well being by additional means other than direct reader support, which I would have done, and have done it for other publications, the difference is that those other publications allowed me to choose WHEN to support and voluntarily register my info. Forcing a would-be reader from the first article you want to access reeks of a paywall by another name. uninstalled.

Not better than web. The interface is fine, but I can't open articles in new tabs, and signing in is a little clunky. I'll just use the web version, which is already pretty nice in mobile. (Similar for the daily version; I can't really tell what the benefit would be, and sign in didn't sync between them so I'd have to find and enter my digital subscriber ID again.) Plus, I'm always annoyed by a prompt to review (though I appreciated the explicit questions about notifications when setting up).

The app doesn't get in the way of reading the news, and in fact makes it quite convenient to do so. Smooth, quick. Plus, the Guardian is a really good paper, one that not only reports on a lot of events but also very significantly keeps What Happened in one article and What I Think About It in a separate one. Recipes and other human-interest pieces are generally very interesting and well written, and provide links for further research and primary sources (e.g. Lancet) where applicable.
