See what The Economist subscribers say:
“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.”

Hi TheEconomist Team, thank you for your recent effort with the app, I appreciate the experience enchantment and your continuous efforts! I have a feature for your backlog :) I believe a lot of us will appreciate sync of read and saved articles across web, mobile, and iPad versions. Thank you in advance!

Better than ever

Content has always been top notch, but the app too has been improving a lot recently in terms of snappiness and overall quality.

The app is terrible

Sergii I. on

Finland

The app is slow and frequently fails. It is a shame that such a good content is so annoyingly slow to get due to a poor app implementation. It cannot be that expensive to design a decent app, so that the Economist would not be able to afford it. I am very close to canceling my subscription out of share frustration with this app

Can’t translate anymore

But why won’t my favourite articles sync between devices?

Quality content with a semi app

gadolin on

Finland

The content is naturally excellent but the app seems a bit oldish as what comes to the user experience and UI.
