“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

Cancellation is a scam

Xan648 on

France

The Economist has adopted unethical and predatory methods with subscription cancellation that you can easily find documented online. My experience cost hours of time and multiple attempts as the agents instead put me on other subscriptions instead of cancelling. After years of print and then digital subscription I can only advise you to avoid such scoundrels.

Do not update

France

For some reason the developers keep removing the ability to reorder your audio queue every few update generations. In this one again, you are locked in from first click. Don’t update unless you have to.

My every day news

I love the economist app. It’s how I start my day!

A fundamental piece of information

Strphane1054575701234 on

France

I have always considered The Economist as a reference on many political and scientific matters. It is extremely convenient to have it an easily accessible app.

Traduction

Je suis très heureux de pouvoir enfin lire Evonomist mais malheureusement je ne parle pas l’anglais mais le français donc obligé de le traduire, seulement je rencontre énormément de difficultés et suis contraint de passer par Google traduction à chaque ce qui est pénible Je vous suis infiniment de pouvoir lire directement la traduction en français

Excellent content

Mind opener

DJMND on

France

Great tool to open your mind on the World. It’s a valuable investment when you take the time to regularly read the articles. Strongly recommend even though it’s a bit expensive.

Broken Update

ManzanaSuccks on

France

Last update broke the app, which will not open even after much patience and several restarts.

Text selection is worst. The app is just worst.

Text selection is worst. The app is just worst.

Latest version: degraded user experience

MthsGll on

France

The latest version of the app, which I use on a mini iPad, offers a degraded user experience. For example, in ‘The World in Brief,’ no words are bolded anymore, and it’s no longer possible to access translation or definition functions by pressing on a word, etc. It’s a bit disappointing.
