“Great app, excellent journalism! The Economist is wonderful. The content is interesting and relevant and the reporting is superlative. Equally impressive is the drive to stay relevant by presenting media in multiple formats, from print to podcasts and short videos.”
“Impeccable journalism with an app to match. The Economist doesn’t need my endorsement of the quality of their journalism. It speaks for itself. Rather, I’ll comment that their app is well-designed and refreshing to use…I love being able to easily download entire editions, listen to articles with real narrators and search for past articles.”

The Economist Reviews

Great newspaper, app getting better

I love The Economist and I was always frustrated by the slow and unreliable app. As of Dec 2024, I’m happy to report the app has gotten better over the last few updates. Kudos to The Economist for taking the time to address reliability issues :-)

Lots of varied interesting content

Recent update

No thanks until you improve on

Canada

I have enjoyed reading the Economist for years. Most recently on line due to post delivery delays and now suffering a postal workers dispute. However after a recent app update it is much more difficult to follow the magazine. So very happy with the content when it delivers, but extremely unhappy with the delivery. To the degree that I might not renew my subscription if online doesn’t improve.
