The Economist Reviews
Probably the best weekly newspaper for world citizens.
Even though I often don’t agree with the Economist’s opinions, I appreciate the fact it is open and transparent about them.
Very good
Like the audio format
Widget
Great content but please make widgets possible… can’t be so hard. Thanks!
One of the weakest apps ever
While the content is of course of very high quality, the Economist App is one of the lesser quality I’ve come across. Highly cluncky, slow, often bugging and not user-friendly: - downloading seems not always to lead to a locally stored copy. Offline usage is often hampered - the app runs into bugs or blockages every few uses, leading to audio interruption and often app crash and closure - the buttons (eg selecting another article to listen to) are not well shaped: you need to hit the exact words of the article title, instead of the tile on which the title is shown - response time of the app is slow, often taking 5-10 seconds to open the next window after it is clicked on - audio levels are not streamlined across articles. One has to adapt audio levels from one article to the next …
Great content, terrible app
Not here to comment on the content, which obviously is amazing. The app however is a disappointment. Interface could be better but the worst part is its sluggishness, looking at how much storage the app takes something seems to be piling up in the background. So every month or so one needs to delete and reinstall the app in order to keep it workable...
Really good
I'm not here to comment on the quality of the articles that the economist offer as it's unmatched across the world. I'm here to talk about the app, which is really great. I gave you 4 stars as I would love to see articles disappeared from the home page once they have been read to be able to discover more new content. Plus it's been months since the saved articles are not shown in the saved section of the app, like nothing was ever saved.
The content is excellent but the app sucks
The app is prone to crashes and is very slow.
App
Great app, would love nearly all content to be audio enabled.
Recent update on text selection
There recently has been some changes in how we can select text in the articles. Before we were able to select specific words which allowed the use of dictionaries and research fonctions. This was pretty handy for none english natives and curious minds as a whole. It is now only possible to copy whole paragraphs. This undermines knowledge accessibility. Please return to previous settings.
