Hate the app, love the newspaper.
Obviously, love the content. But the app is super bad. Hangs all the time, much latency and the scroll and swipe is super weird, you’re not sure the scroll and swipe will take you where you want to go. Please don’t ruin the superb content experience with the poor app experience.
Fast growing Economies frm the Emerging Markets
Bharat or India is one of the fastest growing economies from the current batch of Emerging Markets undoubtedly. More insights, reviews Critical analysis should be provided to enlighten the public at large and enterprising entities in particular to seriously apply their minds to remake Bharat truly Mahaan!
The content is indispensable but the app is super glitchy
From app crashes, pages that freeze, to downloaded issues that are suddenly not downloaded any more, to the table of contents, that comes below each article, that appears and disappears at will, this app makes reading the insightful, engaging, informative and highly thought provoking content, irritatingly difficult to read.
Amazing magazine- very informative & well researched articles
My wife reads articles with great interest -
Virtually ignoring me!!
Content exceptional, the app? Not so much
Weekly content in the economist is exceptional. However the app itself is terrible. It freezes and crashes unpredictably. Further it sometimes pauses a good 5-7 seconds before loading an article or image, making you click it again, only to have an additional click take you to whatever mystery link lies behind the second click when the article does finally open. ( from where it will take you another 5-7 seconds to get back to the article)
The App hangs and malfunctions
The news is great and summarizes world affairs in a very crisp way.
I only face problems in the App User Interface, it malfunctions and hangs on a regular basis.
The app is closing off after making the purchase
I purchased the subscription, but now the app is closing within seconds. I am not able to open the app.
Say no to ads
Why are advertisements being shown to subscribed accounts ?
The best
Economist is the best. Second to none. Period.
Best buy since 2021
The well written economist article articles have made me think globally and think big. Ever since my subscription (in 2021), I have been fascinated by the world of economics, finance and technology. All this thanks to the economist. My best decision ever :)
