The Week magazine UK edition for Android

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 Mobile or deleting the app and reinstalling it (fastest way). But, deleting the app also means that you have to reset the app 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”.

I miss the Daily Briefing section. Did you consult your readership on that change or did you make it unilaterally. I also feel that when I started my membership you strived really hard to show equal numbers of views / articles to obviate bias. Over the last 2 years you have shown a preponderance of left wing articles. I would like to see you return to present different views to demonstrate a clear commitment to impartiality.

What a shame this app, 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 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 the app better, and end up making it worse. Why screw around with something that was working perfectly well.

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