Freezes every second swipe

Apparentlyuser999 on

Norway

It loads the ads between every page when you read the weekly magazine. This takes ages, specially when offline (and you end up not seeing the ads) If you need the ads, please change to preload, reading the weekly paper is now a terrible experience. Ok if you use it to read articles they come

App has become a mess

MacBookIsTheBest0000 on

Norway

Ever since they changed the font on the app in an update a few months ago, swiping actions freeze the app for 10-15 seconds and clicking the "back" button is like rolling a dice. And why does the app take up 994MB of storage (app size 52MB, documents & data 942MB). It's just text and images ffs!

The current version is terrible

Omier on

Norway

It freezes and crashes all the time. When it does, it takes a minute before my phone has completely recovered. It is rare that I’m able to read a complete article before it stops working. It’s been like this for at least half a year, and I will end my subscription unless this gets fixed soon.

Holder meg oppdatert og opplært med snert

Martin Reader on

Norway

God journalistikk, setter agenda, utvider horisonten, bringer verden og historien nær. Redaktør-styrt media på sitt beste. Mange av bøkene jeg leser oppdager jeg (bare) i omtalene her. Dessuten er appen god.

Constant problems with audio editions

alexanderlos on

Norway

4-5 stars for the content. 3-4 stars for the app. 1 star for audio in the app. It’s not possible to download the audio edition on the app… again. Moreover, the support chat is a nightmare. Just a while ago during 15 minutes chat I was asked 4 times about the matter of my problem. After repeating “I am unable to download the audio edition” for the 4th time and receiving a reply “so, you are not able to download an audio edition” I gave up. I don’t mind such jokes with free apps, but in the case of a paid subscription is not that amusing. Especially when it happens more than once. :( Really disappointed. Top content, smart texts about AI and then… school errors done by developing team.

Complex cancellation process

OlijaMV on

Norway

There is no button to simply cancel your subscription. When you follow the link for cancellation in app it redirects you to support. It took me one hours in waiting and talking in a chat box to cancel it. Half an hour of answering various questions in a chat box to be able to cancel your subscription felt like an overkill. After this experience I will definitely not subscribe again. As for the app itself - it felt like the Economist got shallower. Too many superficial articles. And the app does not give you any good overview of what is available.

Functioning slowly

Erjsl on

Norway

The economist is great, but it’s app functions slowly and some times it unexpectedly quits. Hope it will be more user friendly and suites for listeners in the next update

Great content, terrible app

rand6383729 on

Norway

I’ve been a subscriber for over a decade, but the digital experience continues to let this newspaper down. From automatic downloads that don’t, to downloaded copies that won’t load when out of comms, poor performance, taking an age to generate a gift token, it seems ever aspect of the app is below par. Two stars for an awful app, 5 stars for the content, but as I consume only digitally, that’s no where good enough.

Renewal trouble

AskoPatzer on

Norway

Every year the same problem: I loose access because of some cock-up in the subscription renewal process.

Money makes the world go around

HaakonLeknes on

Norway

Money makes the world go around the song goes. And the Economist explain the notes and instruments that sets the tune
