Ratings and Reviews
Very informative
I have been reading the economist for over 10 years and an ardent annual subscriber. It is “my go to place” for analysis and research as well other papers . I have not given it a 5 star because it is becoming more of a left leaning opinion paper rather than a fact based analytical publication. You would never have thought Boris, Trump or Brexit would happen just by reading it. We know the editor has an opinion but that should not be so overbearing that it overshadows what is really happening.
Great paper but app can be improved
The three stars refer to the app, not its content (that deserves 4.5 at the very least). It’s a fairly good app but there’s a few things that could improve its usability.
1) Choose default view: home updated daily or the weekly issue. Some of us find it more digestible and enjoyable to approach the Economist as a weekly publication-as it started
2) Enhance the Saved section: there’s too much content to be consumed, and it’s the kind you want to consume slowly and methodically. The saved section is great but too simple to help readers plan their ‘digestion’. It would be great to be able to sort saved articles, add tags or have sub folders, or at the very least: get info on how many articles/reading time are saved currently, how much read, how much to read. But most importantly sync across devices!!! I currently keep re saving from
the web and from
my phone app and then again from the iPad app. Not very friendly
3) Queue or save episodes to listen to
4) Delete old downloaded issues to prevent the app from storing too much data
These are just some ideas or requests. Other than that the app is largely great, but not as great as its content
Developer Response ,
Thanks for taking the time to share feedback on your experience in our app. Thanks for your comments on the Home and Saved sections - our app team are working to improve these. You can build a queue from the Weekly tab, this will allow you save articles and episodes to listen to later, in the order of your choice. To help manage data storage, we only store up to 8 weekly editions, old downloads are automatically removed when you download a new one. Thanks - Melanie
