“This app is home to the best journalism in the world. If I could only afford to pay for one news source, The Economist would be that source.”
“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

Good but it need additional Features

AK 🐻‍❄️ on

Mexico

The Economist is excellent, always with Amazing articules and analysis. Nevertheless, it would be really cool if you could download some articles and podcast for when you are in a long flight. I have limited access to articles before my flight starts

Excellent content and technology

Gustavo Santillana on

Mexico

Great publication.

Great analysis, occasionally bad app

edgssa on

Mexico

Focusing only on the iPhone and iPad app, I would say they made great improvements on speed response and design. But I don’t find anything useful about the Artificial Intelligence they integrated in the search section.

More Audios!

Eateban Roman on

Mexico

Excellent content, but I would like more audios. Very useful for those of us who only have some time to hear you from our cars in our way to work.

Mehh…

CarloOrtiz on

Mexico

The articles are not bad, but what really bothered me was that for you to be able to cancel your subscription you have go through all sorts of hoops and loops, it literally took me almost an hour to be able con cancel my subscription. Just ridiculous.

Significant slowing down of the app

Ik speel guitaar on

Mexico

In the past couple of months, the app has become very bugy, with very slow transitions. I’ve used this app for years, and it’s never been this bad. I hope they release a solution for this because it is an essential source of information for which I also pay quite a lot.

Freezed

Sin Fastfood on

Mexico

The app is very slow, it takes a lot of intents to open an article, it just doesn’t respond to the touch. Very frustrating.

Review of the Economist

Bert Boltjes on

Mexico

I am very happy as the articles are written by the finest pens. It’s expensive but it’s worth it. I would give a few more gift articles to spread amongst my friends. Kind regards Bert Boltjes

Informative and Fun

Rudhra on

Mexico

The only magazine which is optimum subscription cost, very informative and fun to read. My valued hobby is ECONOMIST.

Problem listening to articles

bungeeman on

Mexico

I really like the information of the economist. I am a regular subscriber. Problem is that the app does not allow you to hear most of the articles. Some of us can not read small print or would like to listen while driving or running. Not all the articles have listening options. Most of the most recent ones don’t. And the app does not let you use any other method to listen to them. Please fix this. One option is to record all the articles, another is to use a text to speech software to do so, and a third one is to simply let us select the text and ask the iPhone to read it. Thanks for your attention
