On broad area of topics Realistic reporting that is facts based Sharp analysis But should shed its typical UK midunderstandings on EU: ie that a Brussels bureaucracy decided: it does not because member states ministers decide; that member states have transferred sovereignty; they have not but they exercise it collectively: that the EU is indecisive: only on topics on which member states do not agree.
Since the latest update, it freezes, crashes, doesn't scroll proper etc. For a 300+ eur subscription, this is unacceptable.
The app runs very slowly and heats up my phone until overheat
The journalism is great. The app is not. Sometimes it just crashes when reading mid article. It’s a bit of a 50/50 when opening the app whether it is going to lag when going from the home page to the weekly section. Even though I download the edition, not all images/graphs appear offline for me. This was not the case with the previous version of the app. The home page is a nice addition, with up to date information and very current articles. However, please fix the app!
The app is fragile and not user friendly. It always reverts to home page rather than the last page/article read. The audio is often unavailable or lost. It’s a great pity that the quality of the app degrades the access to the journalism.
This concerns the app, not the magazine as such. Journalists and editors are not the problem here. I want to criticize several aspects: 1) the app is slow 2) there are often mistakes in the articles: words or even entire paragraphs are repeated, or paging is wrong. 3) the gifting of articles does not work well : if an article fails to send, it is still subtracted from your monthly quota. Five articles a month are too few. It should be double that. 4) the selection of articles is a poor reflection of the magazine. I would much rather have the full table of contents. 5) the whole app is redundant. You have a perfectly serviceable app in the legacy app, which is much simpler, works a charm and offers the full reading experience every week 6) I object to the Economist becoming a daily that offers bite sized articles on the latest news. Many others do it better, it has no added value. 7) you would be better off spending what must be an expensive venture on your journalists and what you do best : unparalleled analysis and background stories from around the world. Scrap the app!
Never one boring article,
Excellent journalism! Regarding the app, I miss a feature that automatically deletes older content. My app blocks already > 8 GB storage. I can, of course, from time to time delete the app and reinstall it. However, it would be great if there would be a feature where you can set how many editions are stored or for how long, like in apples podcast app. Thanks for your consideration!
Been a reader for years. One of the best newspapers around and it has a great app to match.
Very nice little app that does what it says it does. I wish there was an option to sync saved articles between devices.
