The news brand has launched a refresh of its mobile app alongside a redesigned homepage across all global editions — a significant step in delivering a more engaging, personalised and seamless digital experience for readers
New mobile app features include:
- More personalisation: A redesigned and streamlined My Guardian tab allows readers to follow topics and writers that matter to them.
- Enhanced audio: All of the Guardian’s podcasts will now be available in a dedicated tab, allowing easier discovery via the new in-app audio player. App users can listen to all articles through a new enhanced text-to-speech facility.
- More puzzles: A new hub featuring the Guardian’s most popular games, including Wordwheel, Wordiply and, for the first time in the app, Sudoku.
- A refreshed design: A less overwhelming homepage with curated highlights and improved onboarding for new users.
A new contemporary homepage design has also been launched across all editions of the Guardian in the UK, US, Australia and Europe. Focusing on elevating visual storytelling, with a richer, more curated selection of photography, video and other forms of visual journalism.
Katharine Viner, editor-in-chief, Guardian News and Media, said: “The new Guardian app and homepage mark a major step forward in how we deliver our journalism to the millions of people who read, listen to and watch the Guardian every day. Our digital relaunch is more visual and contemporary and will allow us to keep innovating and developing new ways to project Guardian journalism around the world.”
