The Week UK for Android
After the Samsung software update it crashes every time I open it. I have tried deleting it and re-bying it. But no luck. I subscribe and love reading it on my phone on the metro. Please fix. I just want to update this review as the app has been updated again and is now better than before. I appreciate the updates from the developers. Great on S6
Loving the new app - so much easier to flick through! Only gripe is that on a summary page that has the opening lines and a picture for three or four stories (eg.talking points) please make the image a link to the story and not just zoom it in when clicked on. I'm much more likely to want to read the story and if I want to zoom in the photo I will go to the full story and then zoom in. As a right hander it's particularly annoying as the photos are on the right side. Thanks!
It seems to now work on M. However, after a number of years as a subscriber, I let the subscription lapse due to the lack of development. I have no intention of resubscribing. It took them a year to get it working on M. Android N release is imminent. What then? I have lost interest.
However, the latest update is slow and clunky and sometimes hangs.
I loved this app on my iPhone, but have changed over to an android os and it doesn't work. *edit* system update and it now works. HURRAH!
At long last, it's working again! Took a while, but thanks!
Given last year's debacle to get this app working on Android 6.0 Marshmallow and the months your subscribers were unable to access content, I trust the developers are working hard to ensure the app is fully working for Android 7.0 Nougat?
Much better, all pages now open as they should. Still NO cryptic crossword, why can we not download it from your main website?
The font size is either too small or too big - needs attention to be useable on a large mobile (5.5" 1+2). The Economist is the benchmark.
But the night reading option has disappeared.
Bit behind the drag curve but good to have a working Marshmallow version after a few months.
7.99 a month to have advertisements in the digital magazine? Think that's a little wrong
If you love this magazine and know your way around it, then this app is perfect for accessing it. You pay for the magazine, the app is free. It works just fine for me on an xperia and on the PC . Satisfied customer.
Still feels clunky at times but great to have the excellent content available again.
Great job on the new app. Works flawlessly. Brilliant content as always.
Glad it's been fixed, normal service resumed.
Have you tried reading other mags on android. If you had you'd know how good this one is
App works like a dream since the update!
Thanks for this update for Marshmallow. Please make sure it is not so long for Nougat.
Loving it again
Looks great and works on Android 6.0+ now
Would be good if you could save/bookmark daily mini-articles though
... it's called "Verschlimmbesserung"
Essential news updates, well packaged and delivered.heh
An excellent publication that does NOT now work. I used to love reading this magazine to catch up on a summary of the weeks World news. Then my phone updated itself and now me and all others that have been updated to Android Marshmallow (6.0.1) can no longer make use of their prepaid subscriptions to read this magazine on any device running Marshmallow. I have cancelled my subscription.
Great app but won't run on latest OS. The description says an update to Marshmallow is under way but it's taking months. If they don't sort it out soon I'm going to cancel my subscription. No other app has this problem! Nearly onto Android N and still not updated. I don't think they're really interested in Android subscribers!
Originally took a long time to come up with an Android App, then slow to fix bugs and now not been available for Android 6 for over a year! Anyone got a refund from them! Someone should explain how many more Android users there are compared to Apple iOS users!
Would be great if you could do crossword and sudoku in the app. Also the film trailers don't work on my Samsung Galaxy Alpha. But what is better than a perfect app? An app with a few minor flaws you can complain about for the whole evening...
The app doesn't work on android marshmallow. Dennis publishing know this but despite numerous customers telling them, they don't seem to want to fix it. They should be more open up front when selling subscriptions and tell people this beforehand.
As many others have said, this does not work with android marshmallow. V disappointing, have been using this app for years. It's a real shame that it's taking so long to address too, since this has been going on since October! Please fix this asap so I can rate it 5 stars as it should be!
Each time I open it, it takes me back to the beginning. I like to read it over a break at work, just dipping in for 5 minutes. It's a pain when you spend half that time trying to get back to where you were. It didn't do this when I first subscribed. UPDATE just upgraded my phone and now on Marshmallow so I can't even open the app. Gutted. Doesn't look like they're going to do anything about it either given the number of comments on this issue with no reply.
Used to work and now won't even start since upgrading to marshmallow. Considering how long marshmallow has been around this is very poor. Come on....get your act together!
Great app until my Sony devices software updated now it doesn't open and I can't use. This is the only way I can read my subscription and at the moment I'm wasting my money because I can't read them. Please fix the issue so I use it again
Update. June 2016. Still waiting for them to fix this app for Android marshmallow. Very disappointed. Was great but won't work with marshmallow. And as other reviews point out taking 6 months to make the update work is pretty poor. Sad because it's a brilliant read every week. Great content lazy app developer. Don't download until it's updated.
Was great but stopped working months ago with marshmallow update and have not bothered to fix. Cancelled after paying for no access and trying to resolve through support who, after chasing, advised broken and no date on fix.
It's August now and still no update so it will work. I have a PixelC running Android 7 so I suppose I was wishing too much if it didnt even work on v6.. Otherwise a very good publication
What a shame that the publishers of a really good magazine show such poor regard for Android users. Android Marshmallow was introduced early in October 2015 yet as at mid March 2016 The Week still does not work with it. This is the only app that I have this problem with, so it should not be that difficult to sort out - given the will to do so!
The app is easy to use and I seem to be able to navigate the magazine easily using my limited intuition. My only regret is that I have to resort to the paper version of the magazine in order to do the crossword.
Upgraded my Xperia z5 to marshmallow and now app crashes on boot.
by P####:
Since Sony upgraded my Xperia tablet to version 6. 0. 1 the app doesn't open - it starts to open and then gives an error message saying it has stopped working. I already have a subscription, but it seems like I wasted my money. If it isn't fixed soon I'll be asking for a refund.
