Great app for a great newspaper
The quality of the editorial content of the Guardian is definetely wirth 5 stars, but the app does not match it. The ui and ux is not giving justice to the work of the journalists!

Layout difficult to navigate
Can never easily find articles of interest or relevance. The journalism is good enough once you track down articles. Why can you layout the paper clearer ? Section headings at the top so one doesn't have to scroll down so much ? Copy the Times layout it's the easiest to follow
