User Reviews and Ratings
★★☆☆☆Inconsistent App Experience
Some days, the app is unusable - constantly closing and doesn’t open the page it closed. No option to report an issue. No explanation for crashing. Other days, the app works fine. To pay a hefty annual subscription and have repeated issues accessing news online is frustrating.
Luckily, I have WSJ.
★★☆☆☆Buggy App
This review is only about the App, not the content itself (which I love and value). The app used to work better. Currently, it is buggy, slow and crashes a lot when I listen to audio. I hope it will be more stable in the future. The current experience is very frustrating.
★★★☆☆Repeatedly Crashes
The Economist provides excellent journalism. However, in the last month, the app crashes more often than not when I try to read an article or listen to one.
★★☆☆☆Awful app, great content
Love the content. Unfortunately I like to consume it with the audio app, which is almost unusably buggy. The app frequently stops between tracks on your queue - sometimes you just have to hit “play” again, but frequently you get “something went wrong - please retry”, which then loops. You can then try pressing that a few times, or force-closing the app which also sometimes doesn’t work. All of this is annoying, but if you’re driving it’s a fatal flaw.
★★★★★Indispensable
My cocktail party chatter would Suffer greatly without The Economist
