Queja
Amo la revista, pero esta muy cara la suscripción, aproveche una oferta, sino no lo hubiera hecho. Feliz año.
App
Great
Love the content not the app
Missing Ability to Select Specific Audio Stories While this app is better on iOS than the classic app - ability to play/pause, stories play in series even when the app isn’t open in the foreground, it is missing the feature that enables the use to jump right to the audio story they would like to listen to. One has to start the entire section, then skip the stories that they don’t want to listen to or have already heard. Additionally, it would be convenient to be able to order the sections/stories as a playlist, enabling the user to listen to the stories in the order they prefer.
Bring back the legacy app!
So frustrated with all the feature regressions in the new app.
New app is huge step backwards
The magazine is wonderful. The app used to be too. But the new version doesn’t allow you to read an issue linearly - it prompts you to jump around. Downloaded content disappears making offline access problematic. And it’s hard to know which articles you’ve read. Please go back to the old version.
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 wellAdesigned and refreshing to use. Their developers have made large leaps in the past several years to make the interface less buggy and more focused. I love being able to easily download entire editions, listen to articles with real narrators, and search for past articles. I have no complaints. Some uses complain of the ads, but I’d encourage you to hold your criticism. Media companies cannot survive on subscription fees alone—that’s been largely true since their inception. I suppose that makes me an ad-apologist, but if these ads enable the high-quality journalism we all love, then I feel we should grin and bear the ads. And for what it’s worth, I’ve never found the ads to be particularly distracting.
The app has too many issues
First it has no memory: I am unable to resume reading from where I left: when I switch or walk away from an article and come back, it resets to main window. Yes I remember what I was reading earlier today but it is annoying to refind from main window. This app is supposed to be the reader of the newspaper. Second, the audio option has many bugs: e.g: you can’t even see the queue. You say “clear the queue” but it does not. When you build audio queue the sequence from the newspaper is not followed (US section should not begin with Lexington column). I did stick with the Legacy app-was much better- and the Apple Podcast option (no longer available). It sounds like this app developer never finished the project since at least 3 years…
Never volunteer to test
Nothing against the content, it’s good, but the app testing experience is not becoming of the publication’s reputation. No guidance, no feedback, and no thanks. What was I supposed to look at? No idea. Was any of the bugs or commentary I submitted appreciated? Clearly not. Will I be doing this again? Nope. This is not how one should treat users who volunteer to help
Denied access despite subscription
I have a multi year subscription. The app had been working fine, then all of a sudden it doesn’t recognize me. The print edition is still coming in but completely lost digital access. The UI is silent on what happened or how to recover.
