Comments on The Spectator Magazine for Android

★★★★★ CATALYST THINKTANK RESEARCH & ANALYTICS CENTRE · Dec 3, 2025

We plaud often well researched written articles of The Spectator. If put vis-à-vis other reliable writings of authoritative writing and writers they fare well with pride and envy. Yes, together with the Weekly Journal of Guardian Newspapers we look forward to seeing the next issue of The Spectator out and with us.

★★★★★ Mr Incredible · Jun 21, 2025

The Spectator is the best magazine to read in the UK, by far. It is, at its heart, critical of establishment norms and fashionable thinking. That’s why it's the best.

★★★★☆ maura “momoes” potter · May 6, 2024

Always well written articles even if I don't always agree with the content but surely that is why any good publication should be read, good journalism that makes you think.

★★☆☆☆ oliver schick · Jan 16, 2025

A forum for MAGA and Farage types. I thought it was more balanced but in fact it's a right wing rant mag with very little coherent balance.

★☆☆☆☆ Gary Lemanski · Sep 3, 2026

Since the new app I have to download it everytimevtonopen.

★★☆☆☆ Jess Daswani · Oct 2, 2025

Subscription cancellation is poorly designed, besides which the magazine is packed full of cynical, sneering and deeply incurious perspectives

★☆☆☆☆ Roger N · Mar 20, 2025

CANNOT LOG IN! App asks me to log in to my subscriber account and sends me to website to do so. Input correct email and password. I am then logged in on the Website but not the app. Have wiped data, cache, restarted phone and reinstalled but same. Driving me insane. [scream!]
