A winner

The Guardian is a winner. I’m American and have been reading it in one form or another for 60 years! The app … it would be nice if the iOS version allowed changing text size with finger gestures, like my web browser.

Best source of fact based news

Guardian has a commitment to fact based journalism that has stood the test of time. The app is the latest incarnation and one that I find very easy to use. If only they would cover non-English sport better. Welsh Rugby for instance is ignored.
