“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

Crashes all the time

djfiskpinne on

Sweden

All would have been good if it would not have been for the crashes. Now when I try to access an article it only appears as blank.

High Quality from the besinning to the end!

Leo Svedese on

Sweden

If and when you look for well structured and articulated fact based articles in broad subjects to understand what’s going on and how it is throughout the world - extremely well needed in these days.

Incredibly slow

Yeasayer18 on

Sweden

and constantly reloading and/or crashing. Great magazine but embarrasing app.

Useless app

Imarewiewer on

Sweden

Recently the app has gotten completely unusable. Constant crashes, insanely slow loading times and unresponsive buttons. Really unacceptable for such a simple app

Crashes, unusable

Tomrud on

Sweden

The app crashes every time I try to use it. It’s impossible to read a complete article. It also react slowly when I click on a link.

Poor app

Heloooooo on

Sweden

The legacy app was so much better.

Useless app

No more Polar on

Sweden

Very good journalism, but the app is useless and therefore impossible to read because it’s loaded very slow and crash frequently

Brilliant journalism, appalling app

jonasdelange on

Sweden

I love writing but the app is completely useless. It frequently shuts down, is unresponsive and even when it works it takes ages to load a single story. Do better please!

Headline in navigation

Arnander on

Sweden

Please add the second headline to the table of contents for better overview.

flickering ads to paying secscribers, really?!

Björn Wennerström on

Sweden

I am utterly disgusted. The print version takes way too long to get to my country, making this the only option. You need to revert this awful policy
