kills my battery
is a great app but it sets my phone on fire whenever I use it and uses 1% my battery every minute of reading this is on an iPhone 17 pro
Speccie Articles
The articles and columnists are great but even better are the comments. Some of these folks should be awarded for their contributions.
Top Dog
An excellent alternative to the MSM bringing together contributors of the highest quality and always somewhere within, amongst the pathos one can find humour.
If only we can choose the writers. Not Mr Gove.
I find some writers irritating
Everything is wonderful except for one thing
The Spectator is the champagne for the brain that readers know and love except for one thing. We need live text so that people with ageing eyes and accessibility issues can enlarge the text and continue to read it as they while away their days.
Excellent
Love this magazine and website
My review
First class 11 I enjoy reading The Spectator every week
Essential Reading
Superb journalism. Thoughtful, intelligent, informed, witty. Essential reading.
The best
What can I say? The Spectator reliably amazes and delights. It’s cheap at the price.
Writing that reflects facts & reality!!
For those who believe in an Alliance of Responsible Citizenship!!
Independent journalism
Wonderful to read independent thoughts by independent minds
The Elder
Excellent list of Journalists & articles.
Few adverts
I find most Spectator articles to be well written. I enjoy reading the analyses without the continuous pop-up adverts interrupting my train of thought and concentration as happens when reading the Daily Telegraph. I admit adverts do not appear in the online newspaper itself. Even so, I’m thinking of cancelling my Telegraph subscription and relying substantially on the excellent articles in the Spectator for keeping myself informed on current affairs and politics.

Sliding a Bit But Still Great
I’ve been a reader for years. Under Michael Gove, articles have gotten shorter and more shallow, alas.
Worst of the worst
This paper has nothing to do with news, science or politics. It’s all about rage, hate blame. I want my £1 back!
Debating fellow nobheads
It’s not just the articles that are world class. You can, on a daily basis lock horns with other cranks who need an outlet to vent. We are all going down but at least the comment section makes a minute fraction of this enjoyable! love x
I like the Spectator
It’s Really good
As a tribute to Rod…
Support Toby Young’s Free Speech Society. Rod would approve.
Indispensable
Beautifully written - brimming with ideas, insight and originality on politics, new books and the arts.
Drains battery, makes phone too hot to hold.
Drains battery, makes phone too hot to hold. Only one of my c.150 apps to do this.
