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.
