“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

Forgets read position

MartinSchr on

Germany

Often and randomly forgets read position, so again and again you have to search for the last article where you left off.

High quality journalism - now with a high quality app

Just me - 12 on

Germany

The app has improved significantly over time. It is now working reliably and has a lot of useful features. Keep up the good job!

Excellent Journalism presented in an excellent app

Alinbu on

Germany

The Economist known for it’s exzellent journalism presents their articles here and has covered most of them with a high quality audio version by professional speakers and not by one of these ugly ai voice. My no 1 app to start the day! Five stars!

Audio

wgehdjckcirnx on

Germany

It would be great if all articles were available as audio

Always issues with the audio

weemanth on

Germany

I am reading the economist since some than 10 years and ever since there are issues with the audio playback. Now every time you stop the playback and close the app for a few minutes the audio resumes at the beginning of the article. Super annoying … What are we paying for? If you want to keep your subscribers update your app to a proper app which is deserving of the economist. This app feels like a first year student programmed it in this free time.

Good App

World Trotter ***** on

Germany

Sehr zufrieden, 2 Wünsche

Simonberlin on

Germany

Die Performance ist seit dem Update viel besser. Mich stören nur noch 2 Sachen: 1) „The World in Brief“ auf dem Homescreen aktualisiert sich meistens nicht von alleine; 2) Fotos/Abbildungen können nicht vergrößert werden.
