Leave a Review The Week magazine UK edition
Terrible app
I have been reading The Week for over a couple of years now. I relied on it to hopefully receive frequent unbiased news. For a year now, it has been almost impossible to read any content unless I am connected to the internet. This is despite the fact that the option provided to read ‘downloaded’ content means I should be able to read through the content anywhere without a signal. It doesn’t work. It hasn’t worked for a while despite me sending emails to the creators to try & get the problem fixed. The creators of the app just don’t care.
Now the app has been given an update & it is an absolute headache to use. It’s been turned from a fairly clean & concise layout to pages of mess everywhere. I have perfect vision but even I have to pinch & zoom in to read anything properly. The text is so small & crammed so tightly onto every page, I no longer take any pleasure in using The Week for my news feed. There are also adverts now as well. Every few pages, adverts after adverts! How boring & what a total sell out. So, well done to the creators of this app. You’ve turned something that was fairly well designed, easy to use into something that is messy, cheap looking & irritating. Idiots. I am now unsubscribing.Show lessdominus1100

Please fix the issue of a downloaded issue not having pictures once the WiFi is off. This is annoying on the countless times I want to read it on a plane etc. Thank you.Barry Koenecke
Usability of app getting worse with each update
I love reading the week, and the app used to work fine. However since the latest update I’ve decided to cancel my subscription and delete the app. It would now be more convenient to get the physical magazine (which isn’t convenient enough for me to follow through with doing) than struggle with this app. The latest update has rendered the content unreadable on a mobile device - where as it used to be optimised. If I want to read this issue I’m going to have to see if it’s any better on a tablet - although my tablet doesn’t have a SIM, it’s WiFi only, and a previous update stopped content downloading properly, so now this app only works properly with internet connection. This means it will be difficult to read when out and about. Other recent updates have changed the navigation for the worse and made the app buggy, it no longers remembers your place, and is no longer readable on journeys without WiFi. What is the developer doing?! If they are trying to lose the publication subscribers then they are succeedingShow lessIfitain’tbroke,don’tfixit
