First class. Inhaltlich, sprachlich, technisch Klasse!

Changes regional edition and problems with offline reading. For some time I am asked to try this app whithin the legacy app, so I gave it another try. Sadly this is still a very poor successor. Very annoying is the fact that the app delivers a different regional edition from my print and legacy app and I did not find any ways ro set the preference. Another major problem (already many times critizised in comments here) is the limited use without internet access. Internet Access is not only a problem for the few readers on airplanes but permanently affects many users behind various firewalls (including the great firewall). This makes the App unusable. I hope the legacy app will stay online until there is a better alternative.

Excellent experience. State of the art complement to the magazine, just as you would expect. I especially like that they listen to feedback from their subscribers. I requested that it should be possible to select text, mainly so that I can use Apple’s “look up” function for words I don’t understand. In the next update they had included that function - thank YOU!

Finished audio arrticles missing the red tick. Fantastic magazine and marcelous app. Just recently began using the audio edition more and more. Using it I noticed that only the first heard article from each section is ticked of when finished with a red tick. Would be great if this would occur for every article fully played or is it a bug at my end?

Pls no cleaning of audio playlist not yet listened to. Great you finally added enough features to the audio function to make it work — and make me drop the legacy app. One wish: When a new weekly edition is published, last week’s audio queue seems to be erased. Would be much better to persist it (those parts not yet listened to), and let me add audio articles from the new weekly edition to it. Last weeks selection is still valid, just did not get around to listen to it all :—).

Good overview but lacks some features. Overall quite good. But: - can not gift links to friends. - can bookmark in the app but in the website my bookmarks do not exist, the website does not include this feature at all. - Would like to browse the 1843 magazine in a separate section.

The app is good but some enhancements could improve it. The app is good, is stable, light and works smoothly most of the times. However, the app could benefit of some features that would easily turn it into a 5 star. For example, the ability to synchronize between devices the last status (where I left reading) and the bookmarks. Also, more contextual info could be available through links to other artifacts (articles, dictionary, etc) or even external content. The app should offer more control about the content (current and old) and the account (for example, the ability to change region).

Okay app but absolutely annoying one needs internet for Audio. Okayish app but not amazing. Totally annoying is that you need still internet for audio listening to articles once an edition is already downloaded. You need internet each time you open the app and between listening to articles.

Warum gibt es die Playlisten nicht mehr?. Die Applikation ist insgesamt sehr gelungen. Bedauerlicherweise wurde aber die sehr nützliche Funktion, für die Audiobeiträge Playlisten anlegen zu können, bei der Modernisierung gespart. Daher bleibe ich dabei, die Legacy App zu nutzen

No functionality when offline. The app suffers from issues that make it unreliable / unusable. When there is no mobile internet reception, it log off and forces me to re-log into my account - which is impossible without internet connection. It is also not possible to fully download audio version -even when the app shows audio is downloaded, it still tries to connect to the internet - making it impossible to listen in areas with limited access to internet like underground metro.

Top journalism, but bad app. The journalism is amazing but the app is frustrating. I have the following issues. 1) My iPhone runs very hot when using the app. Displaying text should not be that demanding. I am running an iPhone XS. 2) When using the audio playback, the app regularly terminates, then I have to restart it, and finally I cannot listen to the specific piece of content because the app cannot start the audio replay again. 3) The audio download is slow, the phone is hot, the app terminated multiple times per edition that I try to download. This is frustrating. 4) The app terminates out of the blue. I would really hope that the decs fix this soon. It’s a pity because I adore the economist as a newspaper!

Predatory practices. It is made purposefully hard to cancel one’s subscription. No direct option on the website. Only possible via chat. They will keep you waiting while offering you discounts etc. just to keep you from cancelling. Absolutely terrible experience. Very disappointed that The Economist would resort to such measures. I have been a subscriber on and off since 2006, since I have a busy life I am not always finding the time to read the magazine. I will certainly think twice before getting another subscription.

Audio Stops Frequently. It seems that using other apps while listening to the audio edition leads to sudden stops of the playback. Even in apps that have no audio function themselves or one which is run on startup. Switching into the Economist app, the App is refreshing (which is not working riding the Berlin U-Bahn or being on the plane) and one has to go the the tab of the current edition, wait for the loading to finish and then start playback once more. As this is one of many issues in a series, I suspect that the Economist app team has some serious QA issue.

Extremely frustrating and far below what should be The Economists aspiration. Three years later, this comment is unfortunately still true: Over the years, I have lost marked articles many times in updates of this mediocre app. Ripping pages out of the magazine is more reliable and I have gone back to doing that for material I want to keep. The Economist has great content and I love to read it. But the app still has immense room for improvement. I have subscribed to the Economist for two or three decades and am disappointed at this obvious failure to go digital in a competent and engaging manner. Please read this comment and do something!

Excellent Journalism, App improving but not there yet. Dear Economist, I’ve been an avid reader for over 15 years and one of your biggest fans. The latest updates to the App in the last weeks are fantastic and the usability has increased. One big issue remains : when you start reading an article and continue later (without bookmarking it), the last article and position are not auto-saved anymore. For some reason with the lastest major update this feature was removed and is very annoying because you have to open the weekly edition, find the article and then find the last position. This wastes time and takes away the fun part of reading the digital magazine. Please fix this! Thank you Anthony

Simple, functional, no-nonsense. You can read the weekly editions, you can read the latest articles. You can adjust the font size, you can mark articles you want to read later. The app does what it should: it lets you read The Economist; and it does it well.

Details need fixing. Overall, a quite impressive app as it mostly manages to combine the daily and weekly reporting of The Economist - and the audio versions - under one electronic roof. However, there are still a few bugs lurking here and there. For instance, displaying articles (and yes, I am a subscriber) on my iPad in landscape mode, the right ends of several lines get truncated (1-2 letters missing), resulting in poor readability. This should be fixed soon.

Nice app but synchronization of articles still missing. Longtime reader and in particular listener to the economist. It’s annoying that when switching between phone and tablet, I can’t pick up where I left, since the article progress is not synchronized… This is especially annoying when listing to your articles…

Espresso briefing corrections happen too often!. I respect the Economist and I wouldn’t pay this price If I didn’t believe in its value but the number of corrections of the Espresso briefing make me deeply doubt The Economist’s accuracy. I appreciate the corrections and yes, they can happen, but at this rate it makes me wonder who’s writing them and if I should I continue reading them. Would rate this 5 stars if it wasn’t for the frequent corrections.

Great app with an irritating bug!. Great content and app. There is a bug for some time now that I wish it would get fixed. With the iPad Pro 11 it is not possible to scroll or navigate the app while you are listening to an article. This is possible with my iPhone though. It would make the app perfect for me if you could fix this. Thank you in advance!

Content good as always, but App UX to be improved. Compared to the previous app the location of last reading is not remembered. That leads to a lot of searching and clicking when reopening the app… Additionally, it would be nice to indicate if an article has already been read. The reason is that some articles are now available earlier than the whole magazine issue. An indicator could avoid confusion and wasted time. Please improve the user friendliness of the app.

Journalismus erster Klasse. Der Economist bietet anspruchsvolle und fundierte Artikel ohne Umschweife, ich bin sehr zufrieden!

Gut aber mit gelegentlichen Abstürzen. Ich benutze die App sehr gerne. Abzug leider wegen gelegentlichen Abstürzen, die schon viele Monate auftreten ohne behoben zu werden

Great app, but does not allow for editions. I love reading my Economist via the app. As a subscriber to the European edition, my only complaint is that it seems the app can only show the US edition with the US section in front an Europe last. Please allow for selecting editions so I can have the sections in the same order in the app as it is in my printed version. Thx.

Playing audio files. I would enjoy if the audio function would save audio files in the order as I select them. It currently does so the other way around. The last article I want to hear appears first in the list and if I start with the end of the list to hear the article I first selected (and whom I most want to listen to) the audio streaming stops when the last title is finished. Afterwards I need to manually select the next title. This is a bit complicated especially when you are listening to the economist while running or in the go.

Good App - Good News - Daily Briefing?. I highly appreciate the economist and its writers with their detailed thorough analysis. But why is the daily news since the last update missing ? Additionally why I have to change into the dark modus manually, iPhone supports that the app changes automatically when sundown started?

Top. Bin immer top informiert und auf dem neuesten Stand und lerne über die Geschehnisse weltweit

Outstanding content, largely good usability. The content of the app is terrific, as you would expect from the Economist. Among other benefits, it's great to be able to hear the stories read by readers who evidently understand the content and know how to pronounce the foreign words and names. The app does a generally good job of making the content conveniently available. I deducted 1 star because the app sometimes shows hard-to-understand and/or unpredictable behaviour in connection with the playing of audio.

Tolle App für die beste Nachrichtenquelle der Welt. Ich bin seit fast 20 Jahren Abonnent. Keine Beschwerden. Hervorragende App, und erstklassiger Content Woche für Woche.

Downloading current issue fully not possible and no syncs between devices. It’s not possible to download the current issue fully and take it with you. At best you are able to download the text, but none of the graphics an images. That’s a shame. Also, there is no synch of read status across devices, which makes transitioning from iPad to iPhone less smooth than it could be.

Audio downloads funktionieren nicht richtig. Die App funktioniert nur, wenn man eine gute Internetverbindung hat. Das nervt wahnsinnig. Dazu kommt, dass die "heruntergeladenen" Audioversionen der Artikel nicht verfügbar sind wenn man kein Internet hat. Warum soll ich die dann überhaupt herunterladen? Extrem ätzend.

Great content but the app is awful. Love the content but I dislike the app so much, that I only continue my subscription at a sharply discounted rate and even now I get angry whenever I read something. The problem is with the weekly edition- literally every second page is shown as a full page add that is so slow to load that I just see it as a blank page. And if I come across an article I do not want to read and just go to the next page the loading problem aggregates so much that I just see blank pages (ad or article) .. skimming through the edition just doesn’t work. And no - I have broadband and an iPad Pro - so it’s not resources on my side that are lacking; a Netflix hd movie loads faster than an economist ad.

Must read for open minded (at least european) citizens. I love the Economist for its high quality journalism. It provides always a fact based, thouroghly investigated contents. For me it‘s the objective view on everything that happens in Europe and the world. Won‘t miss it. And btw the digital format is excellent.

Kein Zeitungs-Feeling mehr. Unübersichtlich Für mich Grund auf ein Papierabo umzustellen

App ist etwas langsam. Journalismus sehr gut fundiert - recherchiert und unbiased. Nur die App hat einzelne Lags welches korrigiert werden muss

Great app but with room to improve. I really enjoy the app, but there are two features that are missing for me: 1. Automatic download of audio when on WiFi 2. “Playlist” of articles visible in car infotainment when listening via Bluetooth or CarPlay (this is how I consume almost 90% of the articles in the issue)

Widgets. Die App ist eigentlich sehr gut, was mir aber noch fehlt sind Homebildschirm Widgets, dann wäre sie wirklich perfekt.

Versionskonflikte. Vorsicht vor dem Economist. Nach dem wechsel von der Legacy app zur neuen App ist mein Jahres Abonnement nicht wieder herstellbar. Der support konnte es nicht lösen und eine Rückerstattung ist nicht möglich.

Gutes Magazin. Es ist sehr gut.

Content the best, payment and customer service the worst. Payed for yearly subscription via iPad, didn’t get login credentials for the website, restore purchases on iPhone doesn’t work. One customer service rep claimed website is not included, another claimed its apples fault, a third one suggested that I should buy a second subscription via the website. No ownership, no solutions offered so far. Really disappointed as the magazine and its content is amazing. Could imagine becoming a lifetime subscriber. But not this way. If the issue is not resolved soon I will ask apple for a refund.

Annoying moving ads. I have a paid subscription and enjoy the app and journalism a lot. I find the moving ads very annoying however. I see that printed magazines that you buy have ads too but these are not changing every few seconds. It‘s hard to concentrate on the article when there‘s something blinking right next to it the whole time.

Great paper, mediocre app. The app has some obvious bugs that should be fixed. Its UI is quite counter-intuitive and should offer a few more options. 1. I usually read or listen to the weekly edition. When opening the app I should be able to return to the last article, instead of being pushed to the daily section. 2. I switch between reading and listening often. The last article should have an option to move in tandem. 3. There are bugs with audio playback all the time, even when downloaded. Stopping, not resuming, starting the next weeks issue when I want to resume listening to the current article etc. 4. The ads are intrusive. I doubled my payment to The Economist by moving from the Kindle to the App edition and in return I get audio, which is great, and ads, which are annoying. The ads should be removed and the price increased. Alternatively, at least change the UI so that scrolling on a small phone screen actually leads to scrolling and not to accidentally opening ads all the time. Hope this helps to improve!

Good, short stories, bad service. Good app with short stories. If you are looking for more background information it’s probably the wrong place. The service is frustrating. No easy way to end subscription. Some poor outsourced workers seem to handle multiple requests at the same time and try to convince you to buy something else. A button would have worked quite well…

Superior journalism, mediocre app. It‘s fantastic that the journalistic quality keeps beating my expectations. However, the app should adhere to iOS navigation standards. For example, when swiping from the left edge of the screen, it should take me back to the previous page, not some random article. Also, in the past weeks, multiple updates erased all „marked as read“ indicators. That’s just annoying. Plus: Why do I still get ads even if I pay them a whopping 25€ per month?

Subskription via App does not work. I purchased a subscription via the App and received a receipt and invoice from Apple. However, I never received Login details. I contacted the Economist and they said this problem has to be solved by Apple („ because you got the App from their App Store“). The Economist could not even check whether my email is in their system. Of course, Apple could not help either because they did not programm the App. Apple reimbursed the money for the subsciption. The Economist is really a great magazine. The App and their customer service are not of the same quality.

Offline Audio funktioniert nicht wirklich. Dass der Economist inhaltlich hervorragend ist ist unbestritten. Bei dieser Bewertung geht es aber um die App. Und die hat Probleme mit offline Audio. Wenn ich nicht online bin hakelt das Audio bei jedem neuen Track; anstatt alles einmal runterzuladen und dann abzuspielen wie das bei der Legacy App problemlos möglich war... Und wenn man unterwegs ist dann verbraucht der Quatsch auch noch üppig mobile Daten...

Gute Zeitung aber leider nur im Abo und mit Google-Werbung. Der Economist bietet gute Analyen des Weltgeschehens in Poltik und Wirtschaft. Leider bietet die App nicht die Möglichkeit, ab und zu ein einzelnes Heft zu laden (früher gab es das ohne Abonnement) und ist gespickt mit aufdringlicher Google-Werbung.

Audio Edition fehlt. Jetzt gibt es anscheinend zwei App für eine Zeitschrift. Bei der hier sind weniger bugs als in der anderen, die gerne mal abstürzt oder lange lädt. Dafür fehlt hier die Audio Edition. Irgendwie ist das alles nichts. Bei so einer tollen Zeitung müsste die App doch wirklich besser sein können.

Inhalte top, App Flop. Die App ist unübersichtlich und wenig nutzerfreundlich. Vermisste eine klare inhaltliche Struktur.

Great app for subscribers, but can still be improved. I use this app almost daily. It is fast and reliable. The content of the Economist is always interesting, relevant and beautifully written. The fifth star will be awarded as soon as the built-in audio player is able to show the remaining listening time as a countdown - instead of just displaying the total length of the article all the time.

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!

Frequent crashes. The app crashes frequently. Also I have to log in again every time I open it.

Crashes permanantly. App crashes permanantly, making Reading the Good Content painful.

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.)

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.

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.

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!

The app is unusable. Rating is strictly for the app… every week i spend hours trying to get audio to work; its a gamble how much of this weeks issue i am going to be allowd to hear… constant loading, no way to understand what the issue may be… no its not my connection, no its not abailable disk space… it also persists for months now…

Highest quality. I have never experienced a higher quality of journalism as in The Economist. And this app makes it reliably convenient to consume its contents. Bravo!

Text jumps while reading, app crashes often. There seems to be an issue with displaying ads. Ads appear and disappear while reading. Thus, the text frequently jumps which is extremely annoying. Since the update to the most recent version, the app crashes when opening on my iPhone XR. Really disappointed that such a quality publication has such a horrible 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).

In a league of it’s own.. Reliable information, thoughtful analysis and a pleasure to read. What more can one ask for?

Essential reading. And now enhanced usability

Reading economist since ever. Never one boring article,

ANNOYING ADS BLOCKS. I put two stars, because of the ads, i pay for the subscription and i don’t want to see any ads!

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

fidnebdkdldn. Can‘t login and the app crashes all the time

No search function. It would be great if it had a search function

Almost perfect news magazine app. I really enjoy reading articles using The Economist app. The layout of articles is great, the focus on the current edition is good, and finally it presents its content in a pleasant way. The two things I would like to see for an even better experience are - an automatically hiding titlebar when reading an article (it should get out of the way when scrolling down) and - more granular font size options (the jumps are too big for my taste and might benefit from a slider UI).

Old app still wins for audio edition playlist. I like the daily overview and integration of espresso. However, the lack of features specific to the audio edition have caused me to revert back to the old app. Particularly for creating a playlist, the old one is still more useful. If this gets integrated in this app I may well switch permanently

Bad quality app. Audio download doesn’t work properly. There is always a long delay when starting audio and sometimes error messages. It seems it isn’t a complete download. It’s more a kind of Fake Download with some information and you still need internet. The problem is that this doesn’t work at all. This issue exists now for a long time and no one wants to fix it.

Great reading experience for The Economist. Combines the daily content with the the magazine. The killer part for me is the audio part - all articles read.

Still too beta. Version 3.2 now, and I still can’t skip back too the last 15 or 30 seconds from the Lock Screen or from my Apple Watch. Going back to the legacy app - thank God they haven’t removed it yet.

Disabled highly useful standard features. It‘s of course great journalism. But usability has become very poor: it is not possible to use the lookup or translate feature for single words in the text. Given the rich and high-end vocabulary used this really kills one of the major benefits of the digital subscription vs print. It seems that the Economist has disabled this highly useful feature on purpose.

Audio App Fail. The content is excellent but the audio function in the app is annoying. It apparently fails to track what has already been heard and keeps jumping back to previously heard episodes and articles rather than moving on to the next unheard piece. This is extremely frustrating and requires a fix!

Exhilarating & illuminating The Economist App. 1. Easy to use online all features including text & audio download 2. Works flawlessly in offline mode to listen to audio and/or read articles 3. Easy to navigate to back issues to revisit article 4. Seamlessly allows articles to be shared on Social media Improvement Suggestions 1. Include a new “Climate Change” section staffed by similarly professional writers who deliver the Science & Technology section. 2. Promo Links to upcoming Economist Events

Great, but the podcast/audio feature needs work. The app is pretty good, and did get a lot better in the last six months or so. But the podcast and audio features seem to still have a lot of bugs. It will show the wrong title for what it’s playing, the track looks like it’s downloaded but won’t play, and other frustrating bugs.

Good liberal journalism. In times of social media, fake and free news, journalism has a hard stand. Happy The Economist still provides this. Thank you

Worst customer experience when I want to cancel. You are forced to chat with a customer agent when you want to cancel and even if you want to or have time you have to answer random questions before you are given the go to cancel. This is ridiculous and not thoughtful on the customer experience perspective. If your sign up was seamless so should your exit be.

Great reporting, mediocre app. The Economist app sometimes doesn’t load content. I have to kill it and open it for content to load. Animations, gestures all feel like a web wrapper instead of native. It works, but it doesn’t feel much better than reading it on the web.

App is mediocre at best. App does show stuff to read but feels rather like an embedded webpage. What really bums me is the fact that my bookmarks are not synched across devices and the webpage. I need to log in and give credentials. Why can’t I have full synch? Also, notifications cannot be managed properly, so one is getting quite bombarded with them.

Still missing the playlist functionality. The playlist functionality used to be part of the app, no more, sadly.

Missing Highlighting Feature. I really enjoy reading the economist. But I feel like the app is missing some key features, such as text highlighting and the possibility of exporting g those highlights into another app. Also the Playlist functionality for the audio edition is rather unintuitive.

Great. I really enjoy the economist app. Yet they could improve the audio version. Sometimes I download it but I still require an inter connection to listen to it. Also the button to scroll through sections is inconveniently places on the „remove audio“ button

Does the job but doesn’t sync between devices. Nice reader app. Would be nice if the current article etc synced between devices and if adverts weren’t so sensitive. Just lightly brushing an add switches to the browser app.

Cannot activate my subscription. I purchased the introductory 3-month offer and got immediately invoiced by iTunes. So far so good. But there is no way to activate the subscription in the iPad app. All screens ask for a CRN, which does not appear on the iTunes invoice. Wasted 2h to search for contact info, called the Economist who told me I need to solve this with Apple. Called Apple and they said it‘s the Economist. Canceled the subscription and at least I get a refund. But as the Economist knows, time is money and for that I don‘t get a refund.

Great ... but!. I love the content, especially the audio edition, but about some much needed upgrades to the app. CarPlay and AppleWatch Support so I. An Control listening to the audio edition would be great.

Best magazine on economy and politics worldwide. Excellent content. App with some issues (long time to download audio, crashes too often)

Highlight function and Shortcuts support missing. First: Great content, thanks for that! Second: - Please integrate a function to highlight text and automatically bookmark such articles in the iPhone and iPad-Apps. - The support of iOS-shortcuts to start listening to the Espresso or the weeks issue would also be a very useful addition.

Real news. Well written, unbiased news. Finally a news outlet that still understand what professional journalism is! Well done Economist! Well worth the subscription fees.

Great News App. Great content, Morning Briefing, Audio Option for articles, already read articles are marked, Info about Time needed to read article is available.

App crashes when opening. Since yesterday’s update the app doesn’t open anymore and crashes Reinstalling didn’t solve the problem Please fix

General. Best articles based on solid research. I feel always best informed. Thank you for this kind of background during the current fake-Times.

Does not work during downloads. The app constantly downloads something, even though I already downloaded the whole weekly edition. During a download the audio playback doesn't work and sometimes the app crashes.

Too many bells and whistles. More and more articles not available as audio. Discrepancies between text and audio increasing. Recording quality declined. Why does this one app take up more than 30% of my battery (especially via „background activities“)? App was better multiple years ago.

Wäre is the Playlist Feature?. Why did you remove the Playlist feature to select which sections from the weekly issue to hear? I don’t want to go through all the articles!

Careful with subscriptions. The economist tries hard to keep you as a customer with dishonest methods like saying you can easily and fast unsubscribe, but you rather have to plan hours ahead to contact them via phone or chat with one of their agents who tries HARD to convince you to stay and only then this person decides if you leave or not, which is mindblowing to me. I never thought The Economist would employ such unserious behaviours before I subscribed.

Two suggestions. The app does not rotate. Only at the very start of opening it. Please change this. Then, I’d love to be able to change the text into two columns to replicate the print version on my iPad. Edit: I would also love to have the split screen option enabled!

Excellent writing, highly entertaining. A perfect way to grasp the background of our weekly news stories.

Great App but Playlist for Audio missing. I love the app but what would really contribute to my experience would be a function allowing to sort articles into a playlist to listen to in custom order.

Bug in article covers. Generally great app but recently there is a bug occurring preventing the article covers from being djown/downloaded. Great shame not to see them! Fingers crossed it gets fixed soon

Great content, app user friendly. Love the Economist, always interesting content in short, snappy, to-the-point articles, user friendly app and website! Thank you!

Update has messed up audio playback. I like the recent update overall, but I can't play a list of saved articles like I used to be able to. An error occurs every time a new article starts, which means you have to unlock your phone, open the app and hit play again. Absolutely annoying. Please fix!!!

Audio Function Bugging. When listening to the audios, it keeps jumping back to the beginning. Also the audio time navigator doesn’t work properly. Please fix this asap because I do enjoy the great content and if fixed I am happy to give 5 stars.

My favourite app for news & insights. The integration of the espresso app and the magazine app is a huge improvement over the previous „the economist app landscape“. Now you get all of the content in one place and navigation through different articles is a lot easier.

Audio. The audio does not work since the last update. Please fix this issue. Update: Customer Service was able to help me.

audio not always working. Pretty disappointing to having to uninstall and then reinstall the app for getting the audio version working. The app has yet to be developed to fully deliver all its claims to... :-/

Great information and format.. One of the best news source worldwide. Great pictures and background information. Liberal viewpoint throughout the years of its history. And: This app works great!

Content too, app flop. The Economist remains my favorite news channel - yet the app is disappointing: confusing structure, downloading of audio takes incredibly long / fails frequently. User experience checks would be great.

Nice content, poor delivery. Audio playback feature is not intuitive to use. Hard to believe given all the examples of other companies. Magazine layout is also awkward to navigate through such as seeing the table of contents for an issue, and navigating between articles. App needs a major rewrite.

Simply the best knowledge update. The Economist offers rational analysis, a transparent political position, a weighing of different points of view, and a clear committment to basic liberal values. For me, this has been an indispensable source of news and assessment for over 40 years

Nice App But currently laggy. I like the app, but currently it is really laggy. It takes ages until it gets that I pressed a button. Other apps on my phone do not have that problem. I hope they solve it fast.

Great mag, weird navigation. It’s hard to overview the whole mag like the New Yorker, it’s a little slow and buggy considering the quality of the publication.

The economist is a worthwhile investment. The economist really is a high quality magazine and prior to subscribing I was rather doubtful about paying for such. Yet now I have to say I really enjoy the wide range of analyses provided and the app, including its short morning bits, is just great for staying up to date on the relevant.

Reliable information. I feel well informed, I trust the information and it’s a pleasure to read

I love the economist. I listen to the economist every week since a few years but I must admit that they never managed to get their app working properly. The downloaded version needs internet to start, at the end of articles you have to reopen the app multiple times as it stops the playing + often I does not even open on the phone. This is seriously annoying considering the price we pay for it!

Great App. This is a great app that very nicely brings together the different offers from The Economist. Very easy to navigate and a unique new way to explore the articles offered by the magazine.

Best newspaper + app. Of course I love the economist for the content: the articles are relevant, uncomplicated, clear, interesting, timely and cover broad areas. But the app also deserves it to be sung praises: it is well designed, never glitches, allows you to save articles and gives you an estimation of how long the article takes to read. I surprisingly use all of their functionalities. And that’s without even talking about the World in Brief, the Economist’s best invention.

I cannot live without it. I love the Economist, the paper and audio version.

Getting better!. It’s clean and bookmarks finally sync albeit roughly. An idea: make it possible to listen to all bookmarks as a playlist.

Half a life with The Economist. I started my subscription to The Economist at high school. With some breaks, your magazine has accompanied me on and off for almost 30 years. I always appreciate the depth of the analysis, the perfect match between objective reporting and underlying fidelity to a set of values reflecting a liberal economy and society. There are pieces I will not forget - as they reflect on the key events of my life - the fall of the Berlin Wall, 9/11, the two Gulf wars, the Brexit referendum, the endorsements of winning and losing candidates in key elections or the obituary for George Floyd. There are the special reports providing an in depth understanding of new trends and developments. I still love the weekly edition. I always start with Bagehot, Lexington and Charlemagne (maybe too old or too far geographically to fully embrace the Asian century and Banyan) and make time to digest the whole edition. But now there’s much more: I wake up with The Espresso (and La Matinale of Le Monde). I especially appreciate the successful mix between the weekly edition and the articles on the website. Saturdays it’s Checks and Balance and I also like it that we start putting faces to the different editors and contributors (it was not the case in the 80’s). So I am a fan, it should be clear by now, but I still believe that objectively you provide the most wide ranging and yet in depth & dense news and opinion coverage around. Keep it up - and hopefully I will be reading you for another 30-40 years! Let me finish with an anecdote: a friend and fellow subscriber stationed in Honk Kong told me he was receiving the paper version with cut off pages when not to the flavor of the powers that be!!
