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.

Well ever since the AP's app shot itself in both feet, I've been using the Guardian's and so far mostly everything seems fine with the transition. One very annoying thing though is in the main list of articles, there'll be something in a headline that is nowhere to be found in the actual article. Kind of frustrating to be lured into reading something when the actual subject matter doesn't exist. Please stop posting headlines with no articles to back them up, it's a very annoying waste of my time
