Download the New Guido App
Some 20% of Guido’s readers now come view the blog via mobile phones and tablets. To be honest the light-for-mobile format of the blog isn’t very good. This new app aims to deal with some of those issues and give a richer experience – with interactivity. The blog feed on the app is light-format, you can click through to the desktop version with all the comments. Twitter is integrated into the app, as is a tip-off via email function if you have any gossip for us. If you are using the app on a phone you can now call and speak with us just by double clicking. If there is big story we will send users a push notification alert of the breaking news straight to your phone…
It works on on iPhone, Android and BlackBerry as well as iPad and Android tablets. How much for all this functionality? The first 5000 downloads of the app will be free. In a few weeks the app will be available via the Apple and Android app stores. You can download it here now…
Seen together on the same page, the brothers, Grant Chaps and Harry Cole!
You must be fucking joking if you think peeps will pay for the app.
To be honnest website apps are mostly a waste of space anyway providing a watered down version. Far better to ignore the mobile page and app and just select desktop version anyway. Don’t know about ripoff apple but Android is perfectly capable of showing the full desktop page.
Installed here on my Android phone but won’t run – I just get the pic of Guido and no options. Have uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times. If I try settings it crashes. Any suggestions, preferably those that are legal/physically possible?
what the fuck is an App?
Decided not to install as I had to give my permission to allow tracking of my GPS location, access to my phone memory and retrieval of any phone and message history.
Sounds like a plot worthy of Guy Fawkes
Guido calls us App for a fantastic app-ortunity.
If someone values the app enough to pay for it then that’s their issue. It does sound a little bit like a toe in the water exercise though; see how many pay for the app and if it’s enough to make it viable, start putting the breaking stories on the app first to encourage more downloads, thus moving steadily towards a paywall type news feed in conjunction with the weekly email and Sunday paper contribution.

Was I the first to download?
Fuk me I was!!!!
I thought it was me!
What about Nokia, do you do Ovi-store!
Another winner! I can’t recommend it enough!
You know, you really remind me of someone…
Ah yes, Geoffrey Archer.
May I sniff your wife?
Yes she uses BRUTanti perspirant .
As Henry Cooper said in the ad :
SPLASH IT ALL OVER !!
What’s the backing music?
It isn’t available on my Blackberry
Click the link in post. Works on BlackBerryies too.
Ye berries of the Black brambles should be fine – it’s those knackered Nokias which cause all of the trouble.
It works on Blackberry -but only once! Cant find it again once it has been downloaded.
Need to think these things through Guido.
Bookmark and/or add it to your home screen. Simples.
I never have any problems with RIM
Fucking amazing……What’s an app?
No idea.
I still get the print edition of Guido’s Blog delivered every day.
Got it – thank you! Only downside for me is that it’s the first site I look at when I get to work, and now it’ll be the first one I check when I wake up!
You really ought to get out more. Send a postcode and we’ll reply with the address of your nearest branch.
SW1A 0AA – thank you!
You are very lucky as there is a branch next door to you at the House of Lords, Palace of Westminster, SW1A 0PW.
Please be careful when entering the main area of the club as the members are above average age and some of them are delicate and might die if woken quickly.
No post from your no.1 admirer, 8i££y, he’s slipping
Perhaps Guido got bored with him hi-jacking every thread with a link to his shit blog.
I ask again, what happened re Guido/8illy?
Who cares?
I do.
Clearly it works OnTablets…
It doesn’t come from the Android Market (google play) so my phone has blocked the installation
My brain has blocked installation.
Just go to settings and allow your device to download from places other than the Android store. It will then unpack and install.
Unpacks, instals but won’t run!
BBC: “Welsh assembly member Keith Davies is improving slowly after spending a 12th night in hospital, the Labour Party has said.”
Bless him; must have been overdoing something.
“The blog feed on the app is light-format, you can click through to the desktop version with all the comments.”
All the comments, Greedo?
I thought you liked to tell us that people only come here for you (and your monkey).
So what are you going to do with with the info this app collects, such as location, phone calls, phone state etc?
And if someone blows a whistle would you pass this info over to the state or other authorities?
He’ll pass it on to me. Your personal details are safe with WikiLeeks
I didn’t know there was a Welsh version!
Prynhawn da cariad.
Assange backers have been ordered to pay up.
Test.
Oh good, I’m back.
Now then, what have I missed?
You,re extremely verbose today Silent …..
Ensure you don’t overdo it.
Have you had your full post pranfial nap today ?
that sound track is rather menacing – Is this the a hint at the upcoming TV show theme tune?
Thanks for your support Owen. I couldn’t have won without you.
Now I must go and send another load of petrol to Syria or Assad won’t be able to murder women and children if his tanks and planes don’t have enough fuel.
I won’t forget the Labour party when it comes to funding your next election.
I want to be a dick-tater just like you Huge-go
Just asking, but how do we tell when they get to the exciting bit?
Some guys off-camera will hold up big placards with ‘Applause’ on them.
When Ed Miliband comes out and demands a judge led inquiry into the insults made by the Tory party during the conference.
WTF!
Dark blue lettering on black background is virtually unreadable. Sort it.
It goes to the same mobile site when I want to access comments.
Is Grant Schapps really a ‘get-rich-quick’ scammer?
The Telegraph reports “Nine in ten Scots ‘living off state’s patronage’
Almost nine out of 10 Scottish households take more from the public purse than they contribute in taxes thanks to a “rotten system” of state patronage, the Tory party conference will hear on Monday.”
hmmm…………….. I guess William Wallace would have been claiming for a bad back i modern Scotland
“”Ruth Davidson, the Scottish Conservative leader, is to highlight official figures showing that only 283,080 households north of the border – 12 per cent of the total – pay more in tax than they receive in public services.”"
Of those 283,080 households, I guess the majority of those are on the Public Sector payroll
I wonder what the same figure would be in England. It might not be too much more.
The state has become so big that even folk on average salaries are net beneficiaries. What’s the figures – the top 1% pay 25% of all income tax and the top 10% pay 50% – is it?
That suggests that if the budget were balanced (which it ain’t) then the other 90% are net beneficiaries.
The lowest three quintile i e 60 percent receive more than they give .
Some of these give of course nothing at ll as its all take take take in benefits .
The top two quintiles i e richest 40 percent give 100 percent of the tax take .
Nuff said
I know of one less 50% tax-payer in Fucking Scotland that they’ll soon have to manage without.
I wonder if Alex Salmond has been flushed out to comment?
The Fat Controller seems to be keeping his head down at the moment. His political tide is turning and he don’t like it uppim!
this goes beyond socialism
There are so few net tax payers and the cavemen like Balls want to tax them even more
I think the conservative one north of the border is being less than smart with this.
Tick if it applies to you or your family;
Use the NHS
Schools
Universitys
Claim Child Benefit
Have an ISA
Roads
Trains
Airports
Any Local authority services
Work(?) as an MP
Work for the Armed Services
Work as a civil servant
& the hundreds of others.
You really have to do better than that.
ONE ASIAN ! ONE ASIAN ! ONE ASIAN !
People will come to love me, and see me as a Saviour.
I will restore what has been lost.
And give a really super party – with sausage rolls, and pizza, and chicken bits.
This will confirm my credentials as a Man Of The Sheeple.
Finally! It’s only the Wind Farms and my brilliant support of them that has got us through this drought! You do believe me don’t you?
phew…………….that has egg in it
Tried to install. It forced my Android to crash twice. Love the idea of having Guido as an App though but think I will now wait until the version through the Android store (post all the bugs have been worked out) before trying to install again.
Doesn’t download on my Galaxy S3.
Sounds a bit odd, it runs fine on my S2 and it’s running Android 4.x. Check your settings as I mentioned previously and see if that helps.
Doesn’t dowload on my 1902 Ebonite Marconi Ear Trumpet ….why not ??
( In keeping with the glorious custom of that era I have given my majordomo and all servants down to the scullery maid explicit instruction to pick up the ear trumpet every time they pass it because as you know the first telephones never actually carried a ringing bell and therefore the only way to see if a caller was on line would be to pick up and shout ” Is anybody there? ” — in case there was . My gpodfriend and Bridge partner the Minister for Horsedrawn Mail Coach tells me that in a few years time the Govt. will be building centres called Telephone Exchanges staffed by people called Operators and we will be able to receive trunk calls which will be activated by a bycycle type ring bell when we need to answer — isn’t progress divine !!)
Installed then uninstalled. Where are the comments? The mobile site might be crap but it’s better.
I’ll wait for the price to come down.
Hmmm.
App installed on Android – and then 10 minutes later, my first ever bit of message spam (About PPI claims).
Coincidence, or something more sinister?..
