The Economist - News, Podcasts

The app often closes in background. I find myself waiting for the app to reload every even if only returned to the home screen

This is a great place to read and gain interesting perspectives on what is going on in the world with excellent analysis and insight. From a technical perspective regarding the app itself, please consider adding a feature to sync saved and read articles between devices. I read on both my iPhone and iPad, and it’s a pity that I can’t see saved articles on both devices. Apart from that, great work!

The app is working extremely slow, to the level of being hardly usable. And it's only getting worse.

In the past 5️⃣ years, my digital subscription to The Economist has been instrumental in shaping my approach to global affairs. 🔍🗺️ The publication's commitment to objective analysis cuts through the noise of sensationalized reporting, prioritizing insights that truly matter. 👈 This rigorous journalistic approach has not only expanded my knowledge base but has also demonstrably enhanced my decision-making capabilities. I highly recommend The Economist app to anyone seeking a trusted source of in-depth, unbiased journalism.

Are you profiling your readers ? Surely you are. Out of zillions comments the only one displayed on my screen is of a guy like me. Poland , 60-ish, happy with life, anty-pis.

Seeing ads feels disingenuous given the hefty subscription price.

Already a Subscriber button is not working to link the subscription to the Apple Podcast account. Thanks in advance for fixing.

App and contents itself are good but since there is no unsubscribe button I just had to spent 20 minutes of my life on chat with a rep from The Economist and asking him to cancel my subscription while he offered my different promotions. I will never subscribe to it again given how hard it is to unsubscribe.

The app started to work super slow both on an iPhone and an iPad. I also noticed today (20th July 2023) on an iPad that I use for reading articles that it is not possible anymore to select a single word in an article in order to search it on the web, or check in a dictionary directly from a context menu. There is only a copy option available now in the context menu which copies a whole paragraph instead of giving the other options available in the past. Is it a bug or an on purpose change? Please revert it back as it is very user unfriendly now.
