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.”

The Economist Reviews

App can’t be opened keeps crashing

Amee_ee on

Malaysia

I am unable to open the app. It keeps crashing every time I open it.

Great magazine, appalling app

TheSeez69 on

Malaysia

Every time I think this app can’t get any worse, it never fails to surprise me. Not content with being laggy, losing my place in the issue, or having every other page an ad that does not load, it has now started crashing on me too. This app is a travesty and a betrayal of the excellent journalism that keeps me subscribing in spite of the horrendous user experience.

Please fix your app’s latest bug

I love The Economist but recently a window in the app keeps popping up, saying “Interaction Presenter Error: Interaction ‘InAppRatingDialogue’ is not implemented.” Can you please fix it?
