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.

Ratings and reviews

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.

Great app and greats news group. There was an update, and now this app is not working with Android phones, and the team has not fixed it yet. It has been about a month since it was last usable for me. I will update to 5-stars once it is fixed, but I am currently paying digital subscription to not get news. I will cancel my subscription soon if the app is not updated, or an ETA of when it will be fixed. Edit: 11/28/22: Thank you for responsing and updating!!

I love World, but this app, not so much. I have to clear all data every time I open the app or it freezes. Unlike previous versions there appears to be no way to bookmark where I was reading. Possibly the most frustrating is the lack of response when emailing customer support about these issues. You have an excellent publication but lack that excellence in supporting your e-subscribers, who have paid for better access than this app provides. Please do better.
