See what The Economist subscribers say:
“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.”

I am in a customer support toxic maze. Really this is what the economist stands for? Creating hurdles for Cancelling subscriptions??

I enjoy reading The Economist

Great magazine

giulio toscani on

Spain

A great source of information and inspiration

App is regular, content is amazing

delokoni on

Spain

Some of the best written pieces in English language out there. But this is a review for the app and it’s: meh. My major annoyances: No sync of favorites between web and app. Articles reload and get lost sometimes after screen is unlocked. And it can occupy a lot of local storage which is ridiculous. None of this is new, it’s been there for the last 2 years. I guess they prefer to pay the journalists rather than developers, which is fair. Content is a 5. App is a 3-ish. 4 overall given that the article quality outweighs the underwhelming app.

Finally it works very well

They have re included text resizing, and the app now works really fast.

Bad Update

Llelomar on

Spain

Size font adaptation no longer available… Please bring IA translation from the Economist Expresso to the main app…

La aplicación es muy mala

Gabi586 on

Spain

No permite cambiar el tamaño del texto o seleccionar una palabra para traducirla.

Much better

Marco Greselin on

Spain

New app is finally working. Good job.

Slow

Withnail72 on

Spain

I love the Economist, but it drives me crazy how slowly pages load on the iPad app.

Unstable

ChrisM-OAC on

Spain

The app appears to work reasonably on the iPad, but on the phone regularly seizes up, or at least fails to scroll, subsequently crashing completely. IPhone 8 with the latest available iOS updates. Such a pity when there is so much to enjoy, but at least I can still read the weekly edition on the old magazine app.
