The Economist - News, Podcasts

Es la mejor revista del mundo que me permite estar al día con todos los acontecimientos mundiales . Vuestras notas no son artículos periodísticos,sino ensayos que me ayudan muchísimo a desarrollar mi propio criterio y concepto al respecto .Felicitaciones y a seguir manteniendo la calidad y objetividad.

When I need facts, The Economist is my source. Incomparable comprehensive analysis of current affairs that influence business and social climate globally.

Only,though I have a good english vocabulary,I have to constantly check on some words which for me are new.This is good and bad:it increases my english knowledge but interrupts the continuity of my very interesting reading.As a politician and avid reader I am also subscribed in english to Foreign Affairs and The New Yorker,magazines in which I find a more easy vocabulary for an spanish speaking person like myself.

Analiza de modo instrospectivo y crítico las noticias. Es una revista de ensayo y con visión de los hechos que ocurren en el mundo. Su área de investigación y análisis es sobresaliente. Puedo estar como no de acuerdo sobre su posición ante determinado evento, o en ciertos temas, pero la lectura de sus artículos me hacen reflexionar. Cuando era estudiante universitario ahorraba para comprarla, hoy soy fiel suscriptor.

The Economist abarca no solamente temas de economía, finanzas y negocios internacionales. También temas de difusión de la ciencia, política internacional, revisión de libros, etc. Es una revista de primer nivel que sirve para refrescar los conocimientos en diversas materias y mantenerse informado del quehacer internacional en forma amena con el contenido de sus artículos, sus gráficos ilustrativos, videos y audios. Mi revista favorita por lejos.

It's just amazing. So much knowledge at the tips of your hands.

So frustrated with all the feature regressions in the new app.

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.

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.

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…
