"The Spectator is my essential transatlantic companion. As a busy professional in DC, I rarely have time to sit with a print magazine, so the narrated articles feature is a game-changer for my commute. It offers a level of wit and intellectual rigor that is sorely missing from domestic news outlets."

"There is nothing quite like the Thursday morning ritual of downloading the new issue. The app is beautifully designed and remarkably clean, making it a joy to read offline during my travels. I particularly love the blend of sharp political commentary and cultural criticism that keeps me thinking long after I've closed the app."
