  • Offline performance degraded again

    The new app improved the „saved” tab performance for a while, but it seems degraded again. It blocks on slow network, taking 5 seconds to load, sometimes needs multiple attempts. The saved articles often don’t have images cached, this is a regression too and a pretty major one. Ads loading impact scrolling on an M2 device, pretty disappointing.

    Like the format and reading world news in one magazine. Very professional.

    The audio player in The Economist iPhone app needs a sleep timer built in.

    In a world of brain-eating zombies, keep your brain healthy… read The Economist.
  • I Miss the Economist Magazine Format

    By MikeTigerFball80
    While the digital format of The Economist is understandable, I find the format encourages skimming rather than a full read of the articles that occurred sequentially
  • Best news App

    I love everything about this App. The best part is downloading the weekly issue and listening to the articles on the way to work and back. Good job, team.
  • Great App, getting better, CarPlay please!

    I really like using the economist to access subscriber content. Add free Economist Subscriber Podcasts are one of my favorites features. I listen in the car often and would really like a dedicated CarPlay app to allow me to more easily access Economist content during my drive.
  • Great App! Only one suggestion

    By BARSTL
    The app is wonderful. I only wish it had a CarPlay version so I could more easily listen to the Economist’s podcasts and other excellent audio programs more easily.
  • Useful and trusted source of information

    I continue to find The Economist a useful and a source of information that I can trust. It contains a variety of perspectives and is comprehensive in world affairs.

    The economist is less and less worth my time. The World Ahead is glib and prosaic; not a valuable combination. Instead of trying to be clever or sanctimonious, try adding value with real insight and data that is rigorously checked and not cherry picked to support your stories.
