Not Possible to Listen to Audio in Low Network Conditions

Sorry, although I love your articles, and I pay quite a sum for a yearly subscription…

…the app doesn’t get better 🤨

1. I download my weekly edition on Thursdays onto my device.

2. I try to listen during the week, often in low network conditions during commutes.

3. Before and after each track, I have a loading spinner, canceling playback 7 out of 10 times, taking a minute or more each time.

Do you check if I’m still a customer? Pls trust me for one week, and make your app fully offline capable.

In a car, it’s impossible to listen to The Economist, in a bus it’s annoying, wasting half of my commute watching the loading spinner.

Content+, App -

Very good content, but app is technically not good at all. Audio not available for all articles, when available it’s not playing audio when you press the play button etc

Hard to unsubscribe and still send emails

I used the Economist for a while under the trial period, when I decided to unsubscribe it seemed like I returned to the Stone Age:
A) to unsubscribe you have to call or email them. There is no option to simply click unsubscribe as 99% of modern subscription services
B) after you unsubscribe and explaining over the phone I am not interested in their content they kept pestering me with emails with offers and news I can read if I resubscribe. Even after I turned off all email notifications on their website.
C) after they decided to call me to tell me about discounts I said no.
D) after getting a few more emails I used the chat function to request for all my contact data to be deleted and not be contacted again. Again the stone ages return. To have them remove your data you need to fill in a form they send via email. Again many services where I had requested to have my data deleted a simple email to them was sufficient.
E) now after 2 weeks of submitting form under point d, I am receiving emails again.
The economist is now set to go directly to junk mail in my mailbox. Even if I ever had an inkling to subscribe again this pestering has steered me away.

The best relationship age gap

Could a smaller age gap also make couples more likely to stay together?
