The Guardian app was one of the first to make a good attempt at bringing a newspaper to iOS. With version two, much more has been added, as well as a subscription payment system.
While version 1.0 was a very attractive app, it was missing a few features from The Guardian website. Most of these have now been addressed. There is now in-app video, landscape reading, retina display support, live blogs, sport scores and more. Readers can now see comments, although for the moment you can still not add comments from the app.
Links are not carried over from The Guardian website, as in version one. However, now that all the multimedia works this doesn't feel so bad. Offline reading, where you can download articles for later, seems improved too. The formatting is also much better. While the text in The Guardian app looked great before, some loss of formatting made live blogs difficult to read. This has been addressed, and live blogs too update in real-time. Having live sport scores, too, is great.
In the US, non-subscribers can use The Guardian app with ad-support, while in the rest of the world the free version is much more limited. Nevertheless, iOS-owning Guardian readers will love this user friendly and much more dynamic news app.
The Guardian is an excellently designed app, which offers a very pleasant reading experience and is much improved over version 1.0.
