The Week magazine UK edition Reviews

I honestly missed this more than any other publication when I moved from the UK. I had the paper copied delivered but nothing beats the Newstand experience and ease of subscription.

Many thanks for making it available outside of the UK - now if we could only find a clever way to include the crossword :-)

After the most recent update, I’ve lost all my saved articles spanning many years. There used to be a night mode, but that seems to have been taken out.

What is the point of the interactive map? It takes 2/3 of the space leaving only 1/3 of the space for the story. This sounds like a bunch of people sitting around a table trying to figure out how to make TheWeekmagazineUKedition better, and end up making it worse.

Why screw around with something that was working perfectly well.

I’ve enjoyed The Week news reports for years in magazine and digital formats, BUT the digital site doesn’t “refresh” the daily update on a regular basis (fails 2-3 times or more a week) and requires either rebooting the iPad or deleting TheWeekmagazineUKedition and reinstalling it (fastest way). But, deleting TheWeekmagazineUKedition also means that you have to reset TheWeekmagazineUKedition if you want to read more than the daily updates in the digital format.
VERY FRUSTRATING.
And I have contacted them and this appears to be the only “fix”.

What a shame TheWeekmagazineUKedition, which was worth three maybe four stars, has been so substantially downgraded and is now worth one star. The overall UX is worse, the UI is worse, navigation is worse, graphics are worse, usability is reduced, screenshots are more difficult, functionality previously working has been removed. What were they thinking?

After signing up for digital and free offer, nothing.
I’ve been a subscriber of The Week for many years, first in England and now in US. Tried to get UK addition but got no where. ?????? Anyone out there?

The week ( printed ) is excellent although expensive, as is the electronic version

It is an absolute pain. TheWeekmagazineUKedition Store just says ‘Open’ after renewal date expires. There is no warning and no easy way of renewing; no automatic renewal option through Apple.
useless.

The Week is a great magazine that presents an incisive look at the week's news. No longer living in the UK, I was really excited when it became available on iTunes for the iPad. Unfortunately, TheWeekmagazineUKedition is terrible. It was crashing so frequently, I could virtually only read an article or two at a time. Then I made the mistake of changing the number of issues available (in the settings), and now TheWeekmagazineUKedition crashes before even opening. I'm glad I'd only gotten so far as downloading a free issue so I've not wasted any money. I'd love to purchase a subscription, but it'd just be a waste. Too bad. I hope the developer fixes the issues.

I'm a long time subscriber, since about 2004, and generally I think it's an excellent magazine, though far better written in its earlier days. My problem now is that TheWeekmagazineUKedition now refuses to open on my iPad: when you click on it, it opens the page with the collage of covers but goes no further -- no Issues, and I can't download any new ones-- but just goes back to the desktop. What's wrong with it? That's why I've given it only 3 stars.

I have been a reader of The Week for the last 14 years and love it. The paper version used to arrive here in Jamaica 3 weeks after publication, so I really enjoy the digital version.
If you read nothing else regularly, read The Week

TheWeekmagazineUKedition is a pleasure to read; it has been really well designed so the articles are easy to find and access. And of course the content is always good.

Great round-up of global on going events, really easy access online and great to have the subscription delivered to my door -

Great magazine and good to have it with for the quick updates always at hand. Good companion and worth it.

TheWeekmagazineUKedition is great. The content superb.
A very good survey of events, news, and editorial from around the media from around the globe.
I recommend it.

Getting the week early in Africa is a treat, especially as there is no paper involved.

A good mix of news stories from across the globe presented in a succinct format. Worth subscribing to.

Love it except for the crashes, which I thought may have been my iPad, but obviously others have the same issue!

The writing is splendid. The coverage is comprehensive. And TheWeekmagazineUKedition is very good.

The magazine freezes every time I try to read it. I enjoy the content and prefer to read it through TheWeekmagazineUKedition (vs. the hard copy). So please fix the problem.

The content of The Week is great - but it frequently just closes down when reading. Very frustrating. Maybe it is just my iPad 1 can't handle TheWeekmagazineUKedition .

Maybe because I'm based in the US

Every time I try to launch TheWeekmagazineUKedition it crashes, so I have to go back through the process of deleting, reinstalling and re entering my subscription information. The content in the magazine is great. TheWeekmagazineUKedition serving it up is not.

Fix it, please!
