If you are deciding whether to add another chemistry publication to your weekly reading, Chemistry World fits best as a bridge between journal alerts and broad science media. Published by the Royal Society of Chemistry, it covers research news, features, opinion, careers, business and policy with language that usually assumes some chemistry literacy rather than a purely general audience.
Judge it by the kind of study support you need. Chemistry World is useful for repeat reading when you want paper-aware summaries, seminar material, or context around synthesis, materials, medicinal, analytical and sustainability topics. It is less suited to worked problem practice or stepwise instruction, so it serves undergraduates moving beyond textbooks, researchers scanning adjacent fields, and teachers adding current examples to chemistry courses.
