The Guardian app is a premium product with 1m daily active users.

Refreshed website design
A new contemporary homepage design has also been launched across all editions of the Guardian in the UK, US, Australia and Europe.
The redesign puts mobile first, responding to the needs of 75% of the Guardian digital audience who visit daily using a mobile device. Our best and most distinctive journalism is now displayed more prominently, ensuring readers can easily keep up to date with the latest trusted news, while also exploring the full breadth of the Guardian's features, opinion, sport, lifestyle and culture journalism.
Visual storytelling has been elevated, with a richer, more curated selection of photography, video and other forms of visual journalism.

'In the redesign of the Guardian app and homepage our priority has been to showcase the speed, depth and breadth of our journalism with the brand flair we are renowned for.

Is 'bad attitude' useful? Fans on Cunha signing
We asked for your views on Matheus Cunha signing for Manchester are some of your comments:Nick: I'm happy with this. We're creating, but not scoring, so getting someone in who has experience scoring in the Premier League can only be a good I think it is a fantastic signing in this struggling Manchester United era. I see hope because he can play in so many positions in Ruben Amorim's 3-4-3/3-4-2-1 and United need goals, that's all they Cunha has the skills but does he have the temperament for the most 'under the microscope' and 'under pressure' club currently in the world? I hope so but so much needs to change around him to get the best from him. Let's hope Amorim's plan gets the support from the boardroom. I'm still holding my At last; the right player, at the right price and at the right age. What could go wrong?Karl: Definitely a step in the right direction. His stats say he has everything we've been missing - awareness, speed, balance, a finishing edge and above all, confidence. Can't wait to see how he works alongside the likes of Amad, Fernandes and Yes, he's renowned for his 'bad attitude' but that's just because he wants to win, which is an attitude sadly lacking in quite a few of our current squad. I seem to recall a certain Mr Cantona was slated for his attitude when we signed him!

Monzo Reports 8x Surge in Profits to £113.9 Million on the Back of Record Growth
Monzo, the UK's leading digital bank with more than 12 million customers, has today shared its financial results for the year ending March 31 2025. Monzo has again delivered record growth and sustainable profitability as it continues to see momentum accelerate. Recently crowned Best British Bank, the company attracted 2.4 million new customers in its last financial year and saw engagement and weekly active rates continue to increase further – with 67% of customer growth coming from word-of-mouth referrals. Revenues increased significantly across all areas – including lending, transactions and subscriptions – propelling Monzo's adjusted profit before tax to £113.9m, up from £13.9m. Customer deposits grew 48% to £16.6bn, with the number of weekly active users increasing 28% as Monzo added a record number of new products and features to help customers manage more of their financial lives. Average Revenues per User grew 16% for business customers and 15% for personal customers, underscoring the deeper relationships Monzo is building with its customer base. The financial year saw Monzo scale and invest with discipline as it made further strides on its ambition to become the one app customers turn to to manage their entire financial lives. The company welcomed a new generation of customers through its hugely successful Under 16s product, which saw a 180,000-strong waitlist in its first week alone, and launched Monzo Pension. Its new subscription plans – Monzo Perks, Extra and Max – were a huge success with almost 900,000 personal customers now paying for extra benefits. Monzo Business accelerated at pace on the back of the launch of Monzo Team, a product that serves more complex needs for larger small businesses. Together, these new products contributed to an increase in subscriptions income of 50% to £75.2m. The total number of business customers grew by 49% to reach 625,000, with Monzo Business making up 12% of total revenue. The company brought more game-changing savings features to the palms of customers' hands – with the 1p Saving Challenge, launched in January, attracting more than 1 million customers who have collectively saved around £30m so far. With 2.3 million people using Monzo's Instant Access Savings product, the company paid more than £250 million in interest to customers in the last financial year. Leveraging its in-house tech stack, Monzo continues to develop industry-first security tools for its customers. FY2025 saw the business launch a trio of unique security features including Known Locations and Trusted Contacts, to help prevent customers from falling victim to fraud. In addition, and led by its expert financial crime teams, Monzo's real-time fraud detection and prevention system is using AI to trigger a range of interventions. In FY2025 Monzo prevented 2.9 times the value of unauthorised fraud compared to the previous year. Engineers also pioneered Monzo Stand-In, a separate back-up banking infrastructure that ensures customers can continue to use important services in the rare event of an outage. In an industry where platform outages continue to cause mass disruption and worry for customers, Monzo invested in a solution for its customers, giving them the service they deserve from their bank. Monzo maintains a market-leading average Net Promoter Score of +70 – in an industry where the average is around 30 in the UK. The most recent YouGov Brand Index showed that Monzo is out-pacing the rest of the banking industry on metrics including consideration, recommendation, and satisfaction. Two months into the new financial year, Monzo continues to bring new products to customers with the launch of Contents Insurance and Undo Payments – another industry-first tool to help customers have more control over their money. Growth has continued to accelerate, with the company attracting more than 300,000 new customers in April alone – making it its biggest acquisition month yet. In May, Monzo was named Best British Bank, Best Banking App and Best Children's Financial Provider at the British Bank Awards – which is voted for by customers. Looking ahead, Monzo is accelerating its international ambitions. The business is continuing to build out its product offering in the US, and has established its European base with an office and a growing leadership team in Ireland. In the UK, product expansion continues at pace, with additional features across personal and business accounts soon to be announced. TS Anil, Group CEO of Monzo, said,:'Another year of raising the bar and driving scale, growth and profitability! 2.4 million customers chose Monzo, we launched more products than ever, increased customer engagement – and saw record growth for Monzo Business. By bringing the best of technology and banking together and remaining customer-obsessed, we're seeing accelerating growth and momentum and unprecedented customer love – with Monzo recently named Best British Bank. And the best part? We're still just getting started. '

Chelsea 'begin talks with £50m-rated Borussia Dortmund star' - as they look to further bolster attack ahead of Club World Cup
Chelsea have stepped up their interest in Borussia Dortmund 's Jamie Gittens as they begin talks over a potential £50million move for the winger. Enzo Maresca 's side are looking to bolster their attack as they prepare for life in the Champions League next season, for the first time in three seasons. Mail Sport understands that Liam Delap has already undergone the first part of his medical ahead of joining the Blues from Ipswich Town for £30m. And now they have set their sights on bringing in a winger to accompany their new frontman. Chelsea first reported their interest in Gittens, 20, when they enquired about his services in January, and according to the Telegraph, they are now ready to act. The England Under 21s starlet is believed to have a release clause around the £50m mark, with many of European football's elite clubs circling. With Jadon Sancho's future at Chelsea still up in the air - with the club debating whether to turn on their obligation to buy the Manchester United loanee for £25m - the Gittens deal is taking their full attention. The west London side are believed to be pushing for a deal to be completed quickly due to both their and Dortmund's participation in the FIFA Club World Cup, which begins on June 14. Gittens would be able to play for the Blues in the competition, should he sign, due to not being selected in Lee Carsley's Young Lions squad as they seek to retain the Under 21s Euros in Slovakia this summer. The Club World Cup is seen as a priority over the youth international tournament, so Gittens was left out by Carsley due to Dortmund's participation. The winger is the next star off of the Bundesliga production line, following in the footsteps of both Sancho and Jude Bellingham by shining in Dortmund. After breaking through in the 2023-24 campaign, Gittens truly began to shine in the last 12 months, scoring 12 goals and bagging five assists in all competitions last season. He also made history in the Champions League, becoming the youngest English player to score in the tournament when he found the net against 15-time winners Real Madrid, aged just 20 and 75 days.
