The Week app: a user's guide

What you get in The Week smartphone and tablet app

If your subscription to The Week includes digital access, you will be able to read the weekly magazine and our twice-daily digital editions. The Week magazine is available in the app on Thursday evenings. You can browse through a digital version of the print pages, or tap on individual stories to read the article full-page.

You can also read archive editions of the magazine, save articles to come back to later – and listen to The Week Unwrapped podcast, released each Friday.

To start using the app, downloaded it from Apple's App Store or Google's Play Store and log in using your account number (note, the password you created to log in to the website will not work in the app). Click here for help finding your account number.
