Satisfied customer

I live in Greece and the paper,as such is no longer available so I rely on the app for the Guardian. The news, opinions, sports coverage is balanced, unbiased and accurate as much as one knows or can tell. I particularly enjoy Crace and Marina Hyde. Unfortunately I cannot read as many articles as I used to as there is now an embargo on the number I am permitted. Unfortunately, as a pensioner, I am not in a position to afford a subscription. Obviously I will continue to enjoy my more limited access. Thank you for the hours of entertainment and information.

Thankyou

Living in Greece can be charming, liberating, beautiful, but it is often not easy. Going through a terrible financial crisis has its toll most of us and a lot of things that were part of our every day life’s (like subscriptions to newspapers and news magazines) were no longer affordable. To be able to have access to top notch journalism has been very important to me. I would like to thank you for it.

Best news app for iPhone

The Guardian iPhone app is the best news app you could find. Great stories, award-winning journalism, user-friendliness, dark mode and nice UI!
