Reviews

Way to many trackers

Stephane Busso on

98 partners can have access to the information shared through the app and using the economist. This way too many especially for a premium paid to have access to the content. That s to wonder how independent is the content provided.

Left wing bias but still a good read

David87542 on

Some of the articles read like liberal propaganda and don’t reflect a nonpartisan objective account of the facts. That being said if you ignore the political articles the rest of the magazine is really good.

Another App Store scam

NZParisian on

Content is wonderful, but this app is a scam: If is unusable without constant nag screens in the middle of content demanding a review like the cheapest, scammiest low quality spam. Hundreds of dollars a year and it is a scam. How much do I have to pay to not be nagged?

A fantastic way to get quality news

Poision 5th on

The app provides a great way to access Economist content. In addition to the weekly magazine there are daily updates providing a great summary of events around the world and quality articles on everything from current events to science and technology.

App spam

NZParisian on

Content is wonderful, but despite a $400 a year sub the app that nags for reviews weekly like the cheapest, scammiest low quality spam app. How much do I have to pay to not be nagged?

Review

Brownie 81 on

I have been a subscriber of the Economist for many years. The Fourth Estate is under unprecedented pressure worldwide. Democracy is imperilled if we don’t have strong, robust and independent journalism. It is therefore essential, that we reader’s, support this important bastion. I decided long ago to place a good percentage this support with the team at the Economist. You are simply the best. Thank you Graham New Zealand

Economist is rationalism based on evidence

RPJC43 on

The things I value the most about the Economist are the rational evidence-based journalism and the priority given to global issues. I particularly appreciate its well researched up to date coverage of Climate Change. It is the best journalism of its kind in existence. The political neutrality and independence makes it valuable to all. Please keep it up!

Not Free

WCWCWC123 on

Its misleading to be free to download and require a substantial prescription to read the news. Make either the title “premium monthly sub” or charge for the app.

Long association

Kiwi-taff on

I am 84 year old and emigrated to New Zealand in the 1960s. I have long enjoyed the Economist as a quality read. It is clear, incisive and analytical. It is my 1st read every morning. M Lewis PhD IEng FIET

Awesome
