“This app is home to the best journalism in the world. If I could only afford to pay for one news source, The Economist would be that source.”
“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

Generally great with a big recent flaw

Linnanpellon runoilija on

Chile

I've been an avid reader of the Economist for more than 10 years and in the recent years the app has developed a lot, which has made the experience so much better. However, recently I've noticed a big bug that's very annoying, namely quite a few times the paragraphs are cut short in the middle of a sentence with no way to view whole paragraph. I hope that this will get fixed soon after which I'll naturally modify this review.

Great up

I have a iPhone 11 2 years old and after the last upgrade it crashes when reading or hearing a podcast many times during the day.

Great Info but miss the print version

Chile

I least enjoy The Economist. Nevertheless, I still have a hard time with the digital version. Would it be possible to have a magazine view type? Something where I would be able to see the whole page as is in the print version.
