Ratings and Reviews
Holder meg oppdatert og opplært med snert
God journalistikk, setter agenda, utvider horisonten, bringer verden og historien nær. Redaktør-styrt media på sitt beste. Mange av bøkene jeg leser oppdager jeg (bare) i omtalene her. Dessuten er appen god.
Messy design
Content is as good as ever, my compliments to the current editor. However, this app design is another step backwards from the time Economist had the best reading app in the entire ecosystem.
Please reintroduce clarity, overview and the swiping of pages like in digital books. Scrolling does not allow for a proper reading experience. I dare you to do a test: Which group of readers enjoy the most and retain the most from your articles? App users or paper readers?
Edit: Downgraded form two to one star for two reasons: 1) I cannot select edition in the app, it seems stuck to the American edition whereas I would like the European one. 2) The toolbar keeps jumping in and out whilst reading articles. This is so annoying I cannot concentrate.
You have two weeks to clarify and/or fix this or I will have to cancel my subscription.
Latest update completely ruins audio
I love the magazine, but the latest major update of the app has removed several important audio-functions. I am no longer able to make playlists, but now have to listen to the entire magazine from start to end. Big loss of functionality!! Also, there’s several bugs (still) that abruptly restart audio over and over again. Previous version was way better!
Please fix the bugs and relaunch playlist function!!
