  • Used to be unbiased, but no more:/

    Unfortunately was forced to cancel my subscription after this past issue. The paper has grown more biased year after year and it’s with a heavy heart that I part with the paper I once loved 10 years ago. I hope they find their way again.

  • Disgusting news source

    By my name is Katt
    Publishing an article about overpaying disabled veterans is atrocious. They left the author’s picture and he is obviously too young and ignorant to know anything about it. I will never support this company ever again!

  • Stuck in my ways

    I’m at an age where each of my rapidly diminishing remaining days is precious, and I find comfort in the actual newspaper print replica version, instead of this, which I find tedious in navigation. The actual paper version in hand, which has always had a smallish typeface, is becoming difficult to read easily, thus the terrific print replica iPad version. If you’re in any of the XYZ+ generations, go for this new, “improved” version. I mourn the passing of the replica print version, but that should be Not Your Problem, or, NYP. Enjoy.

  • Awesome newspaper. Miserable app

    The problem being the best source of news is that us poor readers have to put up with a miserable app. Even with reliable WiFi, this app fails to impress. Hangs all the time, doesn’t auto download and doesn’t connect to new editions.

  • Still no CarPlay

    Thanks for moving the audio feature yet again. I really enjoy hunting for it every week. Still no CarPlay functionality. Still doesn’t integrate with iPhone auto stop features when detecting voices. Just absolute garbage.

  • Live Chat Button dead link

    My holiday double issue (Dec 21-Jan 3) finally arrived Jan 2 and I went into the app to contact the service center. The link to speak directly to the service for delayed deliveries just reroutes to the main help page. There’s a “Live Chat” button on the help page, as a pop-up at the bottom right, but it has no live link - it’s just an image that has no action.

  • Love the economist

    Great app and content. Please add a page flip option so I don’t have to infinitely scroll when reading!!!

  • Bring back the legacy app!

    So frustrated with all the feature regressions in the new app.

  • New app is huge step backwards

    The magazine is wonderful. The app used to be too. But the new version doesn’t allow you to read an issue linearly - it prompts you to jump around. Downloaded content disappears making offline access problematic. And it’s hard to know which articles you’ve read. Please go back to the old version.

  • Impeccable journalism with an app to match

    The Economist doesn’t need my endorsement of the quality of their journalism. It speaks for itself. Rather, I’ll comment that their app is wellAdesigned and refreshing to use. Their developers have made large leaps in the past several years to make the interface less buggy and more focused. I love being able to easily download entire editions, listen to articles with real narrators, and search for past articles. I have no complaints. Some uses complain of the ads, but I’d encourage you to hold your criticism. Media companies cannot survive on subscription fees alone—that’s been largely true since their inception. I suppose that makes me an ad-apologist, but if these ads enable the high-quality journalism we all love, then I feel we should grin and bear the ads. And for what it’s worth, I’ve never found the ads to be particularly distracting.
