The Spectator Magazine

Spectator has style and class, a lightness of being. Not heavy handed and over serious like the New Statesman. It continues the legacy of its 18th century founders. No wokery please! Otherwise you lose one subscriber 😀

Love the articles which are not too long and completely compulsive reading. Big fan of the app which allows me to read on the go. Thanks!

The organisation of this app has recently been modified in a way that makes reading the magazine from Cover to Cover impossible. Recommended articles appear annoyingly within each writing. Encouraging you to leave the article you are reading and dive off somewhere different. Up Next is used improperly to guide you to articles that do not appear next in the, order. Overall, I will now consider stopping my subscription to this magazine. Such a shame when the previous version works so well.

this app give the best of both worlds - the usual great Speccie articles and the latest news. It means we get to the full Spectator experience when travelling. well worth having

The Spectator is one of the very last print media that still has anything intelligent to say. Almost all the rest of the legacy press has degenerated into cocktails of mindless mush and clickbait — and that includes the big names that were once the newspapers and journals of record.

Intelligent, pithy, challenging, amusing and ultimately informative. What more can you ask for?

… which are awful

I love this magazine. I also (generally) like the app. What ruins it is having to avoid reading the comments under the articles. Yawn-eroonie!!! Snoooze-tastic!!! Who let this bunch of fruitcakes and nuttters onto the internet??? Blimey. I thought I was a member of an elite group of anti-establishment thinkers. Turns out I’m surrounded by bores, bigots, and closet fascists. I’m not sure why as the subject matter of the magazine is quite middle-of-the-road. But the readership…Good Lord!!!

Terrible app, doesn't stay in RAM memory and reloads when I reopen it. I lose my article progress every damn time, making the website more favourable. Please fix this. It's 2024 & I'm using the iOS 17.5.1 iPhone 15 Pro Max — this phone can run console games. Sort it out please. The Google Pixel app is also just as bad I've heard

Amazing variety of well written articles is what makes The Spectator unique in British publishing ; nothing comparable
