Guardian does a lot better job than those two, but not so good that I would pay the premium I am willing to pay for pure unpolluted news. NYT and WAPO get some great scoops but the degree of bias is at times almost sickening. Economist is up front about it’s views but writing style makes a clear distinction between those views and their facts. Thats why I would happily pay 3x more for the Economist over NYT and WAPO. I should also mention, the price I am willing to pay for a news journal is directly proportional to their self-restraint in expressing political bias. Every single article comes with an overlay telling you how many articles you have read at their expense. How does my price complaining relate to the app? Well, the app generously lets you read for free, but constantly reminds you that you are reading free. I really like the Guardian, but I can’t justify paying 50% more than what I pay for the Economist. NYT and WAPO both offer annual subscriptions under $40 (if you try to cancel), and I just got a year of the Economist for $100, and I consider them the gold standard. If I want to vary my reading, I cannot pay over $150 for every news outlet I like. Still overall, great app, and I’m glad it’s out there making the world a better place! Sometimes this can be resolved by googling the article in question, and sometimes not, but either way it’s very frustrating. If I am searching for an article or book review I’ve already read in the hard copy magazine and I know the key words or names, half the time the article won’t let itself be found via the app search engine no matter what I do. Room for improvement: pls improve the app search algorithm. So I get most of my reading done via the snail mail paper copy we subscribe to, and just top off at the app. The only minor annoyance is the plea for donations (not too annoying since I LOVE that the weekly mag doesn’t have ads), and the fact that even if you are on a monthly donation plan, the app doesn’t consider this to be equivalent to an online subscription (which, to be fair, it isn’t). I couldn’t have survived the pandemic without the Guardian by my side. Your subscription will auto renew and you will be charged before the next renewal date unless you cancel.
