  • New app doesn’t track read articles

    They just can’t get it all together at once. Up to date iOS. New version of app lost ability to track the articles I’ve read (red checkmark in the article view under “magazine” menu option). Love the “The Economist.” Wish they could get the app working like the great newspaper they are.

  • New app is speedy!

    Thank you so much for the app update - it was taking ~5 seconds to queue a podcast on the old one. Please add podcast episode descriptions on the app!!

  • Broken

    Since the recent Economist app update I am unable to link to my account. The Apple Help Desk was baffled and Economist customer service was clueless. I hate to be harsh but they broke it and they have to fix it. When I try to read an article in their app I’m taken to a resubscribe screen. There I’m told if I have an App Store subscription I have to reactivate by pressing this link. When I do they tell me I don’t have that subscription. So I try to resubcribe though the Economist and they tell me my new subscription will start when my current one runs out. Really? Like I said this isn’t worth the frustration and I recommend staying away from it.

  • Poor quality app

    This app resets my login waaaaaay too frequently, it keeps losing the last location I was using. Makes me login every time I open it. The worst part is: it has been like it for years. (my main reason to hold on to the legacy app very long). Why should I pay subscription again if the app I need to use makes it so difficult to read?

  • great coverage difficult platform for apple users

    best information e-ver with competent unbiased (in my opinion) journalists. Give me a better app experience and I’ll remain loyal

  • You want quality. You get quality.

    Probably the best all around magazine.

  • Great content, mediocre digital product and horrible UI/UX

    The app continues to get worse after each update, an impressive feat. In addition to plethora of issues already noted in the reviews (e.g. truncated view on iPad, removal of article gifting, etc.) for the audio you can no longer have a stand alone audio queue without it continuing to run onto and continue playing the entire audio edition. How hard can it be to do some basic user testing and QA before shipping the next update?

  • Fantastic, refreshing, sensible.

    Thank you economist podcast hosts. I've recently uninstalled my social media apps & have just been listening to economist podcasts in my free time instead. It's made for a richer life. It's thorough and thought provoking, a force against a world of clickbait nothingness. I'm a huge fan, I almost never pay for subscriptions, but so happily have in this case. Please keep it up. A reassuring reminder of sensibility in uncertain times.

  • Overheating my phone when running audio

    By Q-09
    This most recent update changed the way of running the audio. After let it run for above an hour, my phone heats up significantly even if the screen is off. Never had this issue with previous releases. Please fix it.

  • Why did you take away the ability to listen to the articles?

    I can hunt around and listen to them one by one, but I want to listen to the weekly edition like I always have. Please fix it
