“WORLD gives me the news and helps me to engage with culture in such a way that compels me to pray instead of despair.” —WORLD Reader WORLD produces sound journalism, grounded in facts and Biblical truth. Through print magazines, online articles, and podcast programs, our trained journalists report on current events both global and national so that readers and listeners can see how God is at work in the world, no matter the headlines. WORLD readers and listeners are made up of thoughtful believers who aim to competently talk about and pray about the news. They can think for themselves and prefer to draw their own conclusions. They want the truth, and they understand that the truth demands a Biblical context, or it’s not the whole truth. News delivered this way compels them to act. Led by the Spirit, they are often emboldened to pray, love, and serve others in light of what they learn. Easily access all of WORLD's magazine, digital, and podcast content in one place with this updated version of the app.

Two things needed
11/14/2024

I thoroughly enjoy your app and like the new look. There are two things I wish you would add. First, I’d like to see a scroll bar as I read an article so that I have a sense of how long the article is before I start reading it. Second, it would be nice to highlight a word sometimes to look up the definition of that word.

This app reminds me of why I cancelled my subscription to The Wall Street Journal last year when their new app changed for the worse. I don’t want a feed of stories - I wanty a format more like the website. Let me see and choose what I want. And then I go to the website and it freezes every time I attempt to log in.I was asked by the developers to re-review so here goes. On my iPad the experience using the website in safari is great. The app however, is absolutely horrible. I actually cannot imagine the reading experience being any worse - its that bad. A clunky news feed with a big prompt to the next article getting in the way. If this is the best you can do your better off getting rid of the app. And clicking on the magazine link within the app just results in a black, blank page. You should be embarrassed.

Bring back offline viewing and magazine experience

I like dark mode availability with the latest update, but version 5 removed several essential features I used all the time. I can no longer download the magazine for offline viewing. I can no longer read the magazine from beginning to end. Instead I have to click on each item presented in a different order from the magazine order. The app no longer remembers where I left off reading.Thankfully I can download a PDF of the app to bypass the app going forward, but it is not a very good experience either. I will not be reading as much of the magazine due to these usability issues. Please fix, and soon!

We hear your fustration and apologize for the inconvience. We have been working hard to give you a nice magazine experience and still offer all our news and podcast content. We have released a new version 7.1 in the store that hopefully addresses your concerns. There are two ways to read the magazine, web or pdf version. Web version: Here you can enjoy the articles that are published on our website magazine page. Select and enjoy reading an article. At the end of the article, it will allow you to select UP NEXT to move to the next article. You can always click the back button to go back to the main page and select the article you want. PDF version: You will notice a Subscribe link on the top right if you are not logged in or PDF link if you are logged in. If you are interested in reading the PDF, select the PDF button to open it. Here you can read it in order of the actual magazine with pinch and zoom feature enabled. Download PDF: On Apple, if you wish to download it, select DOWNLOAD. This will open the magazine in your browser. Select the share icon on the top right and choose Books or any other PDF viewer app. This opens the pdf in a nice scrollable version. Here you can turn your device horizontally or vertically, pinch and zoom, bookmark your page and come back to read it later with or without internet access.

App doesn’t work properly after latest update

I can't access the digital magazine now on the World Magazine app on my iPad, and I have canceled my auto-renew subscription. I see the articles and magazine editions but nothing loads on the page when I click on the article or magazine. I signed out and then signed back in but still no content, and then I deleted and reinstalled the app but still can’t see magazine content. I miss the previous version where I simply browsed through the complete magazine rather than the current look.I will miss World Magazine for it’s faithful worldview, but I can’t read what I can’t see. Please fix this app for other users who may be experiencing this issue.
