I suspect that the 1 star reviews can be attributed to the far right. I just downloaded the app. It is incredibly easy to use, showing article headlines with the first sentence or 2 as I scroll down. None of my information has been requested from me. No special permissions were required. I don't even have ANY subscriptions. Something stinks and it sure isn't the Guardian.

Update. Uninstalled. Rebooted. Reinstalled and it seems to pick up the existing subscription again. Would seem to be an issue with retained files that are only deleted on a reboot. Poor coding and customer experience. Having real issues with renewed Google play subscription which this version of the app is not recognising. No response from the help email address,

Great app most of the time. Currently had an issue where when I scroll on some articles, the page goes blank until I scroll down the page again, where it re-appears, scrolling up makes the page go blank again. Happens on the "can I fix it? Yes you can" article using dark mode.
