Many bugs on the app

The app runs very slowly and heats up my phone until overheat

Fix the app!

The journalism is great. The app is not. Sometimes it just crashes when reading mid article. It’s a bit of a 50/50 when opening the app whether it is going to lag when going from the home page to the weekly section. Even though I download the edition, not all images/graphs appear offline for me. This was not the case with the previous version of the app. The home page is a nice addition, with up to date information and very current articles. However, please fix the app!

Excellent content; dreadful app

The app is fragile and not user friendly. It always reverts to home page rather than the last page/article read. The audio is often unavailable or lost. It’s a great pity that the quality of the app degrades the access to the journalism.

A waste of effort

This concerns the app, not the magazine as such. Journalists and editors are not the problem here. I want to criticize several aspects: 1) the app is slow 2) there are often mistakes in the articles: words or even entire paragraphs are repeated, or paging is wrong. 3) the gifting of articles does not work well : if an article fails to send, it is still subtracted from your monthly quota. Five articles a month are too few. It should be double that. 4) the selection of articles is a poor reflection of the magazine. I would much rather have the full table of contents. 5) the whole app is redundant. You have a perfectly serviceable app in the legacy app, which is much simpler, works a charm and offers the full reading experience every week 6) I object to the Economist becoming a daily that offers bite sized articles on the latest news. Many others do it better, it has no added value. 7) you would be better off spending what must be an expensive venture on your journalists and what you do best : unparalleled analysis and background stories from around the world. Scrap the app!

Still one of the best

I’ve been using the app for a few years now and the design has improved significantly. However, ever since the last redesign, the app has been noticeably less responsive. It sometimes freezes for several seconds and/or I need to tap buttons several times. It also constantly loses track of which article I was last reading (unless I manually exit to the main menu).

Reading economist since ever

Never one boring article,

Excellent journalism!

Excellent journalism! Regarding the app, I miss a feature that automatically deletes older content. My app blocks already > 8 GB storage. I can, of course, from time to time delete the app and reinstall it. However, it would be great if there would be a feature where you can set how many editions are stored or for how long, like in apples podcast app. Thanks for your consideration!

Great App, great Newspaper

Been a reader for years. One of the best newspapers around and it has a great app to match.

Nice, clean app

Very nice little app that does what it says it does. I wish there was an option to sync saved articles between devices.

I wish I could use the app upside down

This is the only app I‘ve come across that forces me to turn my iPad when I open it. (I, like many left handed people, routinely use my iPad upside down because the pencil only attaches (and charges) to one side.)
