    Not just news, a curated understanding of what matters in the world.
  • Very well designed app

    Everything well integrated and easy to find. Pleasing to use. No substitute for my paper copy will ever exist, but this is the best digital form they’ve put out so far.
  • Cloud sync must be so hard!

    The news can’t be beat, it until they sync read progress across devices I will remain irritated by the software.

    Well informed, nicely written, timely, and objective: the paragon in journalism
  • Functionality lacking

    As a reader/subscriber for over 30 years, I am disappointed and dismayed by the lack of functionality of this Economist app, and the tech generally. If I am reading an article on my iPad in the app and I want to check something else before finishing the article and navigate away, when I return, I’m seeing the home page and I have to search for the article I was reading. Not only does it not return to what I was reading, there is not even a “history” I can use to find it. This is basic functionality. Also, if I attempt to share the article to my MacBook Pro, it shares a text url instead of opening in my default browser like well crafted news reader apps do. Get with it, Economist! Just because you’re old, doesn’t mean you can get away with being primitive!
  • A needed perspective

    As an American, I consider reading the economist essential for learning an outsiders perspective on what’s happening in the states
  • Decent App

    Generally good app, but not way to select what sort of notifications you get. You either get spammed with several per day, or have to turn notifications completely off.
  • The Last Hold Out

    By Blaeser
    The Economist is the last of its kind. A magazine / newspaper that serves to inform rather than infuriate. They are wholly unbiased, nuanced and thorough - treating news (and incidentally their readers) with the gravity and respect it deserves. The app does an exceptional job allowing you to listen to every story unedited and in full. The product is expensive, but it can make you a better person. What’s the right price for that?
  • No comments section?

    I’m new to the app and would like to see a reader comments section.
