HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (0.5 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Glitchy app

I love the magazine but the app is hardly ever works right. I’m always having trouble seeing and navigating new issues.

★★★★★Feb 1, 2026
Great Magazine; below average app

If I didn’t know what year it was, I would assume it was somewhere around 2018 if all I had to go by was the functionality and layout of this app. Please do better. Your work is too important to put out a below average app.

★★★★★Sep 27, 2025
Excellent News App

I love World Magazine for their accurate, timely reporting, and evangelical opinion pieces. In a world full of hidden agendas, this app unapologetically operates from a biblical worldview. Thank you.

★★★★★Aug 22, 2025
Thanks!

As a listener for over 20 years, I salute the work of world, balanced, fair biblical, and excellent source of news! JM

Do not like changes to the app

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.

Store description

“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.
