  • Lousy App

    Freezes all the time. Lose my place in the weekly.

    I read it daily along with the NY Times, Washington Post, and Kansas City Star.
  • App is unstable as of August 1, 2025

    The quality of this magazine is too notch. Traditionally, the app is top shelf, too, with none of the annoying features of other news sites. The app suddenly went downhill as of 8/1/2025. First, their bug report form submission is broken. I am left with no choice but to gripe about it here. Second, they have introduced an extremely annoying, animated headline feature. This seriously degrades the usability of the app, which until now functioned much like a traditional news magazine, without distracting trash content and without animated clickbait. I hope they fix it, because this is expensive, and there are no refunds.
  • App crashes

    News is great but it’s extremely hard to enjoy it on the go through the app when it’s constantly crashing. Trying to listen to the podcasts can be frustrating having to close and reopen the app over and over and over again.

    The Economist’s coverage of the world, breadth of issues it addresses, depth of analysis, willingness to both support and critique any politician or party, and even it’s willingness to admit when they are wrong makes it my go to for articles and podcasts.
  • True balanced reporting

    Too many publications are politically skewed. For true balanced reporting and excellence in writing, research, and presentation, I turn to the Economist, which stands above them all. It’s also a pleasure to read (or listen to—all articles have an audio recording available on the App). App also has lots of great extras and doesn’t glitch!

    The articles are longer and more in depth than any other news outlet. The business, Finance and science Tech sections are the best. The US section is incredibly biased. They refuse to hire ideologically diverse writers. Russia, China, and N Korea probably have more diverse viewpoints. Of course, they have a hate affair with Trump for over 10 years. All Republican hate is more recent. It’s a great place for those who condone The articles are longer and more in depth than any other news outlet.

It’s a great place for those who condone and like propagating hate and division. For the rest of us, it’s a great place to observe why single party totalitarian states - like the ones named above- tend to come from the left.

  • Quality of the economist

    The economist displays multiple reasons why it should be given a five star review it’s quality and depth of all the articles that are posted to make. It deserve this.
