| 2025-01-19 |  | | So far, I'm impressed. Can't wait to start receiving their prints! I say by just using their phone app. |
| 2024-11-26 |  | | My favorite news source. I love how multiple perspectives are included. |
| 2024-05-03 |  | | The Week is, by far, the best magazine printed. I absolutely love the fact that I can now read it on my phone. This is truly spectacular since I am currently hospitalized and have no access to my printed edition. perfectly on time and greatly appreciated. Thank You. |
| 2023-11-05 |  | | The app has been updated again and it's worse than ever. There's no PDF option and the quality of the download is terrible with fuzzy print and out of focus photos on many pages. The option to access the fast page navigation bar at the bottom of the screen allowing you to navigate anywhere in the magazine quickly is gone. |
| 2022-09-29 |  | | This app is so buggy. None of the settings have any effect. If you do manage to read a page, a nag pop up frequently arises reminding you to "read the whole issue" (which you're already doing when it reminds you). |
| 2022-06-25 |  | | Update: app has been fixed and once again does what it has supposed to. I'm back to subscribing and mostly read the magazine on the phone. I love the full screen dark mode where even the status bar disappears. This is the only news app I know where the screen shows nothing but the article text. Nice job! |
| 2022-06-12 |  | | This is the most battery-hungry app I've ever seen. I have to ration the time that I read it, and God forbid I forget to take the 13 step process to go in to my phone's settings and do a "force close" of this specific app when my kids start screaming for me and then i don't get back to the magazine until that night, bc if I don't, my phone battery is dead in an hour. For reference, typically my phone lasts all day, easily, except for Saturday when I (try) to access this magazine that I pay for. |
| 2022-05-03 |  | | Avoid this app. I really enjoy the news content, but each time I used it, I would close the window after using it. The next day, my battery would drain extremely fast. My phone would then alert me that this app was still open and using up my battery. My phone would then recommend a "force quit." After that, my battery would function normally. |
| 2021-12-30 |  | | Android phone gets hot; app overloads cpu and need to close app all the time. It's been this way for years and I put up with it since The Week is an awesome periodical. |
| 2021-09-12 |  | | Authentication inoperative. I paid $129 for digital (and print) subscription and digital does not function. "Subscribe to read this article" is infuriating because I DID subscribe so I could read the article. If you're putting up a pay wall, make sure payment gets through the well. |
