The activities within it are quite fun. The only problem i have is that on my older device, it was incredibly laggy and I wasn’t able to access things. I feel like it was just the device’s fault though. ### 5/5 — Mine come late in the post *2026-04-03, version 1.7* So this is low key epic ### 4/5 — Review *2026-01-04* There needs to be a free to read option ### 5/5 — Love them *2025-12-18* My 8 year old daughter has these and she loves them! It’s exciting to receive them in the post on a Friday. The magazine is interesting and perfectly age appropriate. We had a problem with delivery once and they rectified it quickly. ### 2/5 — Not easy to use *2025-12-07, version 1.7* The interface makes it hard to move between pages and it is all a bit confusing. I wonder if you could update the app to have a zoom function.That would be very helpful :) As well as that, I have been told you can swipe to switch pages but it doesn’t work! ### 5/5 — Review <3 *2025-07-09, version 1.6* This app is so good!get information about stuff and can read back old issues:> ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2025-04-15* So I hate reading news from a paper so this is so much more fun than just flicking through a paper that will take ages to read ### 5/5 — My rate review *2025-02-02, version 1.6* I loved ‘em all ### 5/5 — Week junior *2024-12-07, version 1.6* I love the week junior. ## Frequently asked questions about The Week Junior ### What is The Week Junior app?
