I have subscribed the entire time without interruption. It is the best conceived, written and edited newspaper in the English language.” “Great app, excellent journalism! The Economist is wonderful. The content is interesting and relevant and the reporting is superlative. Equally impressive is the drive to stay relevant by presenting media in multiple formats, from print to podcasts and short videos.” “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 well-designed and refreshing to use…I love being able to easily download entire editions, listen to articles with real narrators and search for past articles.” Full terms of use: https://www.economist.com/legal/terms-of-use Our privacy policy: https://www.economist.com/privacy Download The Economist app now for trusted reporting on the news and global issues.

  • Janky, Overpriced and Stingy

    By Azmatt25
    I have been actively reading the Economist for ~20 years, but this may be the end of the road. The app asks me periodically to log in over and over. The last update caused the last few sentences of every few paragraphs to disappear for what seemed to be every article. The price at $20 a month already stings relative to its news peers (and streaming platforms for that matter) and you cannot even share the content with your family via subscription share. Talk about greedy! Now with the latest update they want another $5 a month for the same service. Except I cannot get it load.
  • Bad App Experience

    Update April 26: Please bring back the legacy app. The newest versions are still unstable and offer an inferior user experience. Updated March 27: This app continues to be absolutely awful and distracts from the content. Hard to know if it’s spinning for an ad or content. Legacy app was perfect, not sure why we had to move. Consider a new pricing tier that includes access to the legacy app please. Older review: Seeing the continued pleas to stop using the legacy iOS app, it is disingenuous to claim that the new version is better. If you’re going to force us to transition to the inferior app, please include settings that allow us to mimic the legacy app (i.e., one download of the weekly edition, no streaming, no links, no updates - just a digital replication of the weekly print edition). Will seriously consider whether to keep my subscription if forced off the legacy app without a workable solution in place.
  • Building audio queue is klunky

    Wish I could simply scroll down the weekly list of articles and select which to add to the queue.
  • Which issues are downloaded?

    By iGreeley
    The content is fine. Navigation is fine. The biggest issue is that when I download some issues to read later, I can not see which issues are downloaded. This is just silly. I now have to go issue by issue to see what is downloaded and which is not. Just put a star/dot/check for the issues downloaded. First word problems, i know, but the old add was simpler
  • Liberal rag

    The liberal bais just screams off the page. Smart talk but extremely one sided. I canceled before the trail period ended.
  • Worse than the legacy app

    The audio queue is unmanageable compared to the legacy app
  • Old app was better

    This app is hard to navigate, makes you download the U.S. edition, and makes it hard to go back. It blends the weekly editions with random articles.
  • Much worse than the Legacy app

    For months, the Legacy app has been inviting me to download this app. I always resisted (when I had tried, several years ago, the app didn’t allow me to download the weekly edition. I’m not making this up.). They finally forced me to switch. And guess what? I am trying to download the latest issue, to read it on the road (where I have no WiFi), and THE DOWNLOAD DOES NOT EVEN START. (It downloads in my iPhone, but not in my iPad, and of course reading it in the iPad is much more comfortable.) I tried everything: quitting the app, switching the iPad off, checking I have enough space… nothing worked. Meanwhile, The Economist just told me the suscription price is going up because of a lot of content I am not interested in. After well over a decade as a suscriber, I am seriously considering to cancel.
  • Needs more features

    By MadDownpour
    I really like the podcasts but the app is very bad for listening to them. There are no features you would find in a basic podcast app (or they are not intuitive to use if they exist) like building a listening queue, saving for later listening, downloading for offline listening, etc.
  • steals money
