The Economist is probably the best current affairs publication there is. However this app is near unusable in it’s current state. I am using iphone 13 and I’m on ios 17.5.1 and this app makes my entire phone lag the moment I start the app. The lagging continues for a while even after exiting the app and usually a restart of the phone is the only cure. So sad that this great magazine is let down by the app.
Insightful, well written articles and wonderful audio version for on the go moments. Thank you!
Used to be very good. Now crashes & laggy on both iphone and ipad
Best.
The app is laggy on the newest iPhone
The app is not a native iOS app, but it seems to load all articles as if they were web pages. Opening the app and navigating to a downloaded article of the latest weekly edition can take up to 10 seconds on the latest iPhone. Name one other app that is this slow on iPhone, I’ll wait. For this price you would image an app to be top notch. Such a shame since the Economist is my favorite magazine by far.
With the latest update I can only copy text not being able to look up words. Very annoying
But why won’t my favourite articles sync between devices?
The content is naturally excellent but the app seems a bit oldish as what comes to the user experience and UI.
I lost access to The Economist when the new app was launched. The old app stopped working, claiming that my subscription has expired (my subscription through iTunes just renewed for EUR 179.99 in March) and transitioning to the new version always produces an error message. Have spent hours on live chats with both Economist and Apple support, to no avail. Was forced to ask Apple to refund my purchase. Being a subscriber to multiple newspapers and magazines, I must say that I have never had such a bad customer experience with any other platform. Very disappointing, especially coming from a publication with such high quality content as The Economist.
