The Guardian 3.1.2.39
Sleek and refined UI
There's nothing chunky about the interface. It comes in the much popular Android style, but was well organized as to provide quick shortcuts to all essential tools and arrange articles neatly so users would have quick access to them. The app opens with plenty of instructions, so you'd learn how to navigate quickly in a matter of seconds.
