Comments on The Week - UK Edition for Android

★★★★☆ Jon Hobbs · Jul 14, 2023

Have loved the Week for years. Its content is just right. The updated app is a bit glitchy however, and could be somewhat improved - more variable font sizes, disappearing top and bottom bars when reading, the side menu from the previous version etc.

★★★★★ Robert Barnetson · Oct 22, 2025

The Week is by far the best weekly news source I have come across. Not just news but succinct articles on a diverse range of fascinating subjects. Educational, entertaining and up to date. I can't recommend it highly enough.

★★★★★ Mohammed Mahboob · Aug 23, 2025

The Week magazine has been well authored; as a consequence, articles are sensitizing and therefore one becomes accustomed to English.

★☆☆☆☆ Ben Lithgow Smith · Jul 3, 2023

The new version doesn't work properly. Downloaded editions aren't downloaded properly and don't open or are missing pages when offline, and some articles (eg "At a glance") don't scroll down, so you can only read the top part. It's also missing various features from the previous version, like dark theme which makes it harder to read at night, and the contents page.

★☆☆☆☆ David Pummell · Nov 8, 2021

How do they get away with this?! The app is criminal! I have paid to read the whole magazine but somehow the app won't let me read certain articles! Rip off merchants
