What it does
Put The Guardian's latest world news on your screens, refreshed on their own. Pick a layout — a single story, a full-screen cover, a rolling list — and optionally show a QR code so people can keep reading on their phone. Nothing to set up: the feed is built in.
Every app in the catalogue is part of the plan. There is no app store, no per-app charge and nothing held back for a higher tier.
How to display The Guardian's world news on a screen
Show The Guardian's world news on a screen where people stop long enough to read: a library, a common room, a café. Each story can carry a QR code so readers take the full article with them.
- 01
Add the app
In the dashboard, open Apps and add The Guardian.
- 02
Choose the layout
Editorial sets the stories out like a magazine page, with room for a short summary under the headline. Cover lets the photo fill the screen instead.
- 03
Adjust the details
Pick Light or Dark under Theme. Keep Show QR code switched on for readers who want the whole piece. How many stories, in Feed Settings, takes any number from 1 to 20 and starts at 6.
- 04
Put it on a screen
Add the app to a playlist, set how long it stays up and publish it to the screen.
Good to know
Set to world news
The app reads The Guardian's world news feed. Its address is built in, so the form has no feed field to fill.
Follows the day's news
The feed is checked every five minutes, and new stories replace older ones without anyone updating the screen.
No blank wall offline
When the internet drops, the last stories stay up. Newer ones arrive once the screen is back online.
Questions about this app
No. The app reads The Guardian's public world news feed, so there is nothing to sign in to.
Not with this app. Use the RSS feed app with the feed address for that section, if The Guardian publishes one.
No. The screen shows the headline and photo, plus a short summary in some layouts. The QR code opens the full article on a phone.
