About this app

“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.

Update to my first review below. The bug in the app has been fixed, and I really appreciate the ease of use and features. Thank you! Old review: We are longtime World readers. I listened to the daily news on this app until recently, when I got a new phone (Samsung A53). Every time I try to listen to the news, the app crashes. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it continued to crash. I hope an app update will fix this, or I will have to delete the app.

App is handy when reading or downloading the magazine. The initial glitches have been resolved with the latest update. It's nice to have the benefits of the magazine and the podcasts all in one place. Certainly worth having to access the latest news at your fingertips....all well written with journalistic professionalism with a Biblical WORLD view!

You can't read one story without agreeing to a trial subscription. An image of a lock appears next to each headline. Most good apps will at least let me read some stories to allow me to determine if their journalistic approach appeals to me. Nope, not one. Don't waste your time unless you intend to subscribe sight unseen. There are far too many news apps to choose from for me to be forced into a subscription without knowing how they report, left or right, amount of bias....
