Description
GUARDIAN ANYWHERE IS DYING. READ THIS: This app was broken by a change in the Guardian's RSS feed infrastructure. I have reached out the Guardian through multiple channels, but none have reached the right person.
As such the amount of work needed to fix this is more than my schedule allows. I do not wish to make this a paid app, but it would be unlikely sustainable even if it were.
I am leaving this here as an app to point to and show the lovely feedback people have given over the years.
Please feel free to markdown one-star reviews because IT'S BROKEN.

Comments on UNSUPPORTED Guardian Anywhere for Android
★★★★★
Great app It's the start of 2014 and this app is still better than the official Guardian app, especially for downloading the paper overnight. Many thanks to the developer for all his hard work.
★★★★★
What happened? The demise of this app coincided with the release of the official app, which can't be a coincidence. The official app doesn't work offline so I am missing Guardian Anywhere.
★★☆☆☆
Was great but all the articles are now truncated with a "continue reading" link. Disaster
★★☆☆☆
unusable at the moment this used to be my most used app, but it is completely unusable now as each article only contains the tagline and a 'read more' link that leads nowhere. I'll give it a fortnight, and if it's not fixed by then will uninstall and find another app to replace it :(
