I've been reading The Week in both print and digital form for years. I enjoy the mix of news and other features. When it first went to digital, it was a bit buggy and it would occasionally shut down and need a reboot. For a long time now, however, using an iPad, when opening the app to read the daily update, the current day isn’t available. You need to either shut down and reboot the device, or delete and reinstall the app (which deletes your customer info). This happens at least two or more times a week. It is completely unacceptable. It happens to no other app I’ve ever used. Yes, the magazine is one of the best for fairly balanced news reporting, but it needs to work all the time to be truly great.

I subscribe to both the print and digital The Week, and depend on the latter because (a) I live in a remote area and my print copy doesn’t arrive til Monday many weeks, and (b) I am out of town or country about three months out of the year. The old app had its problems, but this one is fraught with mishaps. It won’t recognize my subscription. Or it won’t download. Or the covers download and nothing else. It won’t hold my sign-in info. The photos won’t open. The text size keeps reverting. It used to be I could email Customer Service and they would respond quickly with a fix. Now, that doesn’t even happen. Email I sent them a week ago has never been answered. I love The Week but if the app does not improve, it will be the reason I cancel.

The Week used to be a fantastic publication. It was actually well balanced. Ever since a certain election in 2016 though, the Week began a steep nose dive where they followed other news outlets on a hard bank to the left. Now it is literally just another talking head for the all woke, no joke media. Obviously, they are going to remind people of other publications since it is literally a synopsis of other publications. However, leftist sources are now quoted seemingly four times for every one moderate or conservative publication. Sadly, I just said goodbye to my subscription after twelve mostly good years as a reader (well probably only eight of those years were good). Maybe if they ever grow a pair and stop throwing up their hands to the woke digital lynch mob I will consider resubscribing. Unfortunately, the more likely outcome is that I will be called a bigot because I don’t want to read their propaganda anymore. Either way, I’m not subscribing to crap that claims to be balanced and instead rams a partisan line down my throat.
