### 4/5 — Web version needs help

*2026-08-06, version 6.13*

Love “The Week” but not at all happy with the online version, which is loaded with distracting ads to subscribe, even though I subscribe and am logged in. And one needs to know one’s subscription number in order to login. What? And no way to reset password from an email address. Seriously needs to be more user friendly.

### 5/5 — Excellent coverage

*2026-06-26, version 6.13*

I’ve been a subscriber for many years and love the broad and condensed content of national and international news. Bonuses include columns on health, TV, books, art, film, and a delightful crossword puzzle. It’s the only magazine I will not drop.

### 1/5 — WTH happened? Hate the new interface!

*2026-06-05, version 6.12*

Used to love seeing the print version and the text only version, but now you have to jump through a couple more hoops to get to it. Why? This issue plus the fact that the magazine has shady renewal practices - charging $299 which supposedly includes free gift subscription to a friend when in fact, we are actually being charged for it. I fell for it the first time and paid that, only to realize I could get it for $99. I just got my “last chance” bill and will not be renewing. Have posted about this on all my socials and will do this final non-renewal in the coming days. Look for it under #theweekmagazineshadyrenewal

### 2/5 — Unnecessary interface update

*2026-05-26, version 6.12*

I’m really struggling to get to the full text of the print version.  It now defaults to audio and there is a lot of friction finding my way to print.

### 4/5 — I do not like the newest format of the magazine

*2026-05-18, version 6.12*

The newest released formate is not user friendly causing additional clicks.    I believe they attempted to fix a problem that didn’t exist.  I suggest they return to the old formate.  The good news is the articles are still great.

### 5/5 — Far reaching

*2026-05-11, version 6.12*

The variety of articles and information remind me the world is a vast and complicated space to be explored and cherished

### 5/5 — Advantage of THE WEEK on line.

*2026-03-02, version 6.12*

I appreciate getting THE WEEK on line because of the late delivery of my copy through the USPS.  
Many times I’m unaware of the special TV shows or programs (which is published in the magazine) until they have already been broadcasted and I’m therefore unable to see the program.

### 5/5 — The Week

*2026-02-02, version 6.12*

I really enjoy being able to get the latest issue no matter where I am. I like the print version too but the App really helps in many ways when I don't want to carry the extra weight. I  like the broad spectrum international focus and the brief, cogent summaries.  It is like the biological abstracts that I used professionally. The ‘abstract” provides a brief update but also includes info I need to dig deeper on a topic if I would like to pursue it.

### 1/5 — Thumbnail Blocks the Text

*2026-01-26, version 6.12*

Why would you block article text with a thumbnail of the entire page? This is uber idiocy.

### 5/5 — Reader Friendly

*2026-01-17, version 6.12*

I thought I wanted a newsprint magazine but instead I am enjoying my online version just as much. Great coverage of all current events and news. Some sad, sometimes funny and surprising but always truthful and interesting.
