Our verdict on Newsweek
Newsweek brings the publisher’s reporting and analysis to readers interested in politics, world affairs, business, culture, health and science. Its feed centers on Newsweek stories, with topic-based personalization and search for topics, stories or areas of interest. The product is available on web, iOS and Android, and is aimed at readers who want a focused way to follow Newsweek rather than a multi-publisher news reader.
Access is subscription-based, with a 14-day free trial for new readers; existing subscribers can sign in. The app listing shows in-app purchase options of $2.99 monthly and $24.99 yearly, along with additional prices that may vary by region. Subscribers get ad-free reading and access to member-only journalism. This makes the trial useful for assessing the publication’s coverage and subscriber experience, but readers seeking an ongoing free plan should look elsewhere.
Personalized discovery is the app’s clearest utility beyond a standard publisher feed: readers can follow topics and search by topic, story or area of interest. The dedicated member-only area separates subscriber journalism from the broader feed, while web and mobile availability offers more than an app-only route to Newsweek’s reporting. Email is the listed support channel. Choose Newsweek if its coverage and analysis are the focus and subscriber reading fits your needs; choose a broader news app if you want stories from multiple publishers in one place.
