How much does The Economist cost?
The Economist has several in-app purchases/subscriptions, the average in-app price is USD 94.13.
Content is great but the app needs improvement. While it’s possible to select the text size within the article, the main menu size is very small and it’s not clear if and how this can be increased.
It’s not very easy nor intuitive to handle audio.
Support is dismal with hour long queues and questionable agents.
Please spanish too!
I need a spanish translation please.
reading experience too focused on breaking news
I like to read the weekly edition. Sometimes I leave it in the middle of an article , I don’t close the app and I go to a different app on my phone.
When I want to go back to where I left, I find myself in the home page, which forces me to navigate through the app and weekly edition again to find the article I was reading. It is really annoying.
Best magazine of the world!!!
Congrats
word selection
please re-enable the possibility of selecting words, in my case it is very useful because I can translate those that I do not understand
Awesome app
It keeps getting better.
Top Quality
Very high quality but would truly enjoy less monotone audio versions of reports. Perhaps consider NPR as a reference. Naturally, we're more likely to recall more lively, authentic and personality in audio input tones.
Mirada muy completa del mundo
Vivo en Argentina y The Economist me permite ver distintos puntos de vista que no accedo por los medios locales
Además , percibo qué hay distintos matices en la opinión de los columnistas , y The Inteligence Unit , junto con el Economist 2022 , me parecen excelentes para guardar y releer

Most Likely The Best
This is probably “the” best app on my phone. Great content, superb writing style, and works smoothly every single time!
