“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.”

Thanks for reinstating the queue function in the new app

Crashes every five minutes

DJK-DK on

Denmark

The content is great, but the app crashes approximately every five minutes requiring me to restart it. The navigation in the app (e.g., adding articles to the queue) is also very, very slow and requires a lot of patience.

Horrible app

Extremely Slow and laggy

92mb woc 比qq还大 on

Denmark

Content is exceptional. But the app is ridiculously slow and laggy. On iPhone12, it took me entire 3 mins from click opening the app to start playing the audio for the week’s issue. So laggy I cannot even save articles. And it has been 6 month, and the experience is still horrifying. Also, apparently the developer don’t even bother to respond to criticism.
