What Guardian Editions is for
Guardian Editions is a reading app for the Guardian's publications, covering the UK newspaper, the Guardian Weekly magazine and the Long Read magazine. It is built for people who want the paper as a digital edition on a phone or tablet rather than a website.
Access requires an existing Guardian digital subscription. Readers without one cannot use the app, and the developer points to its Help Centre for setup questions.
The daily UK edition and its 6am timing
Each UK edition is published in the app by 6am GMT on six days a week. The issue is a digital version of the printed Guardian newspaper, so the day's stories arrive in one edition rather than as individual articles.
The app is the route to the morning paper, so anyone who reads the print title each day will find the same stories and sections here.
Weekly magazines and the Long Read
The app carries the global edition of Guardian Weekly, which is updated weekly, along with the Saturday magazine. Long Read is a periodical that updates on an irregular schedule, and the developer also lists other periodical publications alongside it.
Because these titles arrive on different schedules, the app serves daily, weekly and periodic issues in one place.
Reading offline and moving around an issue
You can schedule an issue to download, then read it later without a connection. The app is laid out for both mobile and tablet screens.
Within an issue you can read from start to finish or swipe directly to the sections you care about. This suits people who only follow certain parts of the paper, such as one section each morning.
Ad-free reading with a Guardian subscription
Guardian Editions shows no adverts, according to the developer's listing. The journalism is presented without advertising interruptions.
The ad-free reading depends on holding a Guardian digital subscription, since the app itself is only open to subscribers.
