Ratings and Reviews
PDF-version 😢
I really miss the PDF-version. It’s so much more enjoyable to read it as if it were a paper issue. That is how I read my dailies, never using the Word-document style option which is all there is in the Economist app.
Poor UX app
Not providing (physical) magazine feeling at all. App provides webpage functionality at the most, so why bother having this app? If I had known the poor User experience, then I had not purchased the digital annual subscription. Many newspaper app’s provide better UX.
Excellent journalism, poorly optimised app
The best source of news and analysis hands down. But the app performance leaves a lot to be desired at times. Unresponsiveness, long load times and frequent inexplicable crashes when listening to downloaded articles mar the experience for now.
