Avoid this app. I really enjoy the news content, but each time I used it, I would close the window after using it. The next day, my battery would drain extremely fast. My phone would then alert me that this app was still open and using up my battery. My phone would then recommend a "force quit." After that, my battery would function normally.

I downloaded the app because it looks like you aren't posting the magazine issues on the website anymore. The only reason I accessed the magazine via the website was to print the puzzle page. However, I don't see a way to print from the app. Very disappointed. Please either implement that functionality in the app, or go back to posting the issues on the website.

I think the app has serious connectivity issues even on a fast wifi or 4G connection. It appears that the developers may have the socket connection timeout set too low or something like that. Or else the server itself isn't responding quickly enough. I'm just speculating because I constantly get the completely useless error message "An unexpected error has occurred". There shouldn't even BE a network call involved in opening the latest issue of The Week. It should be cached on the device. Edited

The app has been updated again and it's worse than ever. There's no PDF option and the quality of the download is terrible with fuzzy print and out of focus photos on many pages. The option to access the fast page navigation bar at the bottom of the screen allowing you to navigate anywhere in the magazine quickly is gone. Edited

Update: app has been fixed and once again does what it has supposed to. I'm back to subscribing and mostly read the magazine on the phone. I love the full screen dark mode where even the status bar disappears. This is the only news app I know where the screen shows nothing but the article text. Nice job!
