User Reviews

Reviewers praise The Week UK Edition for strong, well-curated content and an easy-to-read, navigable app experience, plus solid value for subscribers with international digital access. However, stability is a major problem: the app frequently crashes or won’t open and runs slowly. Updates are perceived to regress usability by removing features and degrading the UI. A few users also report offline reading glitches and data loss after updates. Overall, the content quality is excellent, but the app needs significant reliability and UX fixes to match the content.

Pros

High-quality, comprehensive content with global coverage.
Pleasant reading experience with easy navigation and readable layout.
Strong value for subscribers; digital edition accessible outside the UK.
Concise updates and quick digest style for on-the-go reading.

Cons

Frequent crashes, freezes, and the app often won’t open.
Post-update regression: features removed or UI downgraded, reducing usability.
Occasional slow performance and long load times.

Please fix the issue of a downloaded issue not having pictures once the WiFi is off. This is annoying on the countless times I want to read it on a plane etc. Thank you.

So in the latest release, all my saved articles over the years have disappeared. Plus night/dark mode has disappeared. Exactly what does bug fixes and enhancements mean? Seems you just made things worse.

It is an absolute pain. The App 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.
