App is fine and I like to support a few different news outlets by paying extra for a subscription. But... I keep being nagged about how many articles I've read, told that I don't have a subscription despite having paid. Clearly it doesn't matter so when my yearly subscription is coming up I'll likely cancel. If it's not recognised, why would I pay?! Guilt tripping isn't fun. Also don't want to pay separately for my devices when I can only read on one at a time and it's the same account. Bug?

I've been using the app for a couple of years now and its usability and design seem to worsen with each update. The most recent update was especially bad, please return the option to fully customise the home screen (instead of this weird new option to hide the content of fixed sections). I'm considering to cancel my subscription if this will not be fixed.

Terrible experience lately with the change of the home screen: innumerable sections that I don't care about now take up a lot of the space even when "hidden" and create a broken reading experience. Many links to other Guardian articles open in webview. Dear editors & developers: 1. spend more time on proofreading the articles / running them at least through basic autocorrect tooling, because the number of spelling, grammar and syntax errors is appalling; 2. do UX research, not HIPPO; 3. TEST!
