The Economist Reviews

Much improved

MoodyBlx on

Spain

The app was always reliable and easy, and remarkably improved now (I let my subscription lapse some years ago, but having resubscribed, noticed the difference immediately).

One sided and lacking depth and investigation

Oinotna Lin on

Spain

I have checked the articles referred to a few complex matters that are reshaping the world as we know it and I have found more propaganda than analysis, only mainstream opinions. That is making the world lose confidence, when even journalism that used to be first class has become target driven. Sorry, but not with my money

Each version is better and more intuitive, but …

Domingo Gallardo on

Spain

But I have a (I consider) very easy request for the app. You could add an action to the notification of an article to be able to SAVE the article without having to open it. This would be also very useful when you receive a notification in the Apple Watch. Thanks!!

Slower and buggier

Marco Greselin on

Spain

App is getting slower and slower both on iPhone 13 and iPad mini. It’s a pity bc I’ll have to soon switch to the website.

Loads very slow

Loads very slow

Won’t let me cancel…

Spain

Shocking how hard they make it to cancel a subscription. And it’s clearly by design. Completely immoral. I’m still unable to cancel…

Infuriating

NathanNJS on

Spain

Still no better two years after I first wrote this review. This app does not work properly with intermittent connectivity. Each time connectivity is regained, the app resets the article that one is reading to some previously saved state with some other article. Further, the portrait mode only works with one orientation of the iPad. With the older iPads, with a button, it was at least obvious what that orientation needed to be (button at the bottom). With the latest iPads, sans buttons, it is extremely irritating to have to turn the iPad to see which orientation will work. Images for articles are not cached, so that, without connectivity, there are no images displayed. These are basic failures in quality control for which there is no reasonable excuse. I pay a lot of money for this content, so I have a well founded expectation of something a lot better.

Imposible darse de baja

TOMMYSHELBI on

Spain

No recomiendo esta revista porque cuando te quieres dar de baja , no te la dan , te siguen cobrando . Llevo ya varios meses intentando darme de baja y siguen cobrando, hoy anule tarjeta e inicie proceso legal para recuperar las cantidades cobradas . No os subscribáis , son unos ladrones .

Excellent app

Pascual ER on

Spain

Well designed, structured and easy to use app with barely malfunction issues. I strongly recommend it.

Cancelling subscription made very difficult

Sina09875 on

Spain

They make it extremely difficult to cancel your subscription, careful!
