The Spectator Magazine App Reviews

The Spectator

A pleasure to read - informative, witty and a balanced range of opinions.

Smart and funny- best mag ever

I love the wit, insight and speaking up when others hide behind pretences and fake news. Keep going! Should be a mandatory reading material- especially in Canada

Its Right Wing but not Wing-Nut

Ive been reading the Spectator for years. Its basically a magazine for political junkies but as an ex-pat I find it keeps me in touch with the zeitgeist in England. They are now full on fascists. Delingpole and Moore are the first ones Id put against the wall. Then that asswipe Taki.

Highly recommended

Simply the best economic, political and philosophical comment I read. Keep it up Fraser and team!

Spectator

Excellent magazine. Worth every penny (euro). Well written with informed opinion and analysis. Would recommend Jack (France)

Maybe a good app - if an issue would download

It would be nice if downloading an issue would not fail....

The Spectator

A very good App indeed. I enjoy downloading and reading the latest issue every week. So I can keep informed about a large variety of subjects wherever the www and my mobile devices may take me. Easy handling and excellent quality.

One of the best political magazines around

This is such a pleasure to read compared to the usual dull "consensus media" magazines on the market today. Intelligent analysis, thought provoking articles laced with classic British humour throughout.

The source for political insight

The most stimulating and thought provoking magazine out. There is a need for such in the UK if the nation is to be saved from the straight jacket of "political correctness" and the need to preserve freedom of expression.

Lucid, Witty, Insightful

Probably the best weekly ever published. Writing is always top-shelf, opinion is spot on.

Stimulating

Always fun and provoking even when one disagrees.

Offer?

You offered a free trial if I added the app. NO FREE TRIAL on the app, so I deleted the app. Thats bad customer relations and now I am no longer interested in subscribing.

The Spectator

Reading the Spectator is like going to a party and talking with fascinating people who are unpredictable. Most are charming and amusing in an inimitably British way even though their opinions vary widely and may sometimes be strange. I highly recommend it.

Spec

Magazine is the best but the download system is rank. Also in App spotlight is pretty useless as only looks in downloaded articles, it should look on the web.

One of the Best

Ive been a Spectator reader for perhaps twenty years and consider the magazine one of the best available. As an American citizen, I tend to skip over much of the writing on British domestic politics, but the Spectator offers so very much more. Theres an amazing variety in the subject matter on offer. The reviews are useful. Most of all, the use of language is precise; the articles concise. Im old fashioned enough to believe that whats worth saying not only may but must be said clearly. The Spectators writing is the antithesis of the usual prose of wet concrete that infest journals like (to pick one at random) the New York Review of Books. And the Spectator is often quit funny, too. Such a deal. The app has been greatly improved over the years. Early versions of the app made reading a bit of a penance. Those day are mercifully over.

Amazing magazine, decent app

Like a cry of reason from beyond the darkness that is the modern conservative movement in the US, The Spectator celebrates common sense over zealotry and reasonable discourse over ideology. Let the left be blinded by beliefs and ridiculous schemes. I want a magazine that deals with the world as it is, not as it "should" be, and that magazine is The Spectator.

Liberating read.

Refreshingly opinionated and outspoken. My new favorite read.

Excellent

A magazin worth reading!

Its Right Wing but not Wing-Nut

Ive been reading the Spectator for years. Its basically a magazine for political junkies but as an ex-pat I find it keeps me in touch with the zeitgeist in England. They are even polite, if not complimentary about our current administration in the US.

CBH

Great magazine for the variety of topics, originality of the pieces, and especially smoothness of the prose. But on an iPhone 6, not so much.
