“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

Fonts absurdly small

okok_apps on

Poland

How come the fonts are smaller than in all other apps and the ability to resize them was removed? I don’t want to increase system font sizes just because of this one app

Interesting features but extremely slow

B33tho on

Poland

As in the title. Unpleasant to use. Lags.

Amazing anytical app

xshatx on

Poland

The Economist offers highly intellectual and in-depth analysis. The app itself is intuitive and functions smoothly.

Performance issues

igor shc on

Poland

I’ve been using the app for a long time snd I noticed that the performance has degraded significantly recently. When navigating from one screen to another it is very difficult not to notice the lagging screen change animation. To reproduce this just tap on any article from the Home Screen and then swipe back to return to the Home Screen again, the animation freezes for a couple of seconds.

Improvement needed for the app

WontonShifu on

Poland

The app often closes in background. I find myself waiting for the app to reload every even if only returned to the home screen

One of my favorite app so far to read news

MozartxPL on

Poland

This is a great place to read and gain interesting perspectives on what is going on in the world with excellent analysis and insight. From a technical perspective regarding the app itself, please consider adding a feature to sync saved and read articles between devices. I read on both my iPhone and iPad, and it’s a pity that I can’t see saved articles on both devices. Apart from that, great work!

Extremely slow

MPS Tatjew on

Poland

The app is working extremely slow, to the level of being hardly usable. And it's only getting worse.

The app is continuously improving!

CzlowiekA on

Poland

In the past 5️⃣ years, my digital subscription to The Economist has been instrumental in shaping my approach to global affairs. 🔍🗺️ The publication's commitment to objective analysis cuts through the noise of sensationalized reporting, prioritizing insights that truly matter. 👈 This rigorous journalistic approach has not only expanded my knowledge base but has also demonstrably enhanced my decision-making capabilities. I highly recommend The Economist app to anyone seeking a trusted source of in-depth, unbiased journalism.

Strange

Ppprzemob on

Poland

Are you profiling your readers ? Surely you are. Out of zillions comments the only one displayed on my screen is of a guy like me. Poland , 60-ish, happy with life, anty-pis.

Seeing ads feels disingenuous given the hefty subscription price.
