Great App
Please add access to Newsletters directly in the app (similar to the Financial Times app)
Poor and worsening performance
On both iPhone and iPad, in both offline and online modes, app performance is worsening. It takes several seconds after tapping to see responsiveness in the UI. The app being open even in the background severely reduces battery life and heats your devices. Please just make it possible to read the economist without all the fancy bells and whistles.
Great content but the app is really laggy
I’ve always loved this publication and the app, but for a few versions now it’s been really slow and laggy. Scrolling and swiping between articles is slow. Please fix it! It was absolutely fine before.
Extra spaces between words
Meticulous reader here. I’ve noticed extra spaces between words. There should be only one space between two words. Not two spaces. The formatting should be as good as the content.
Memory issues persist
Love the journalism. The app has made big strides in the past year. But it still gets evicted from memory more than any other news app I use. It’s irritating to have to browse back to my place in the article I was reading after googling something the article was talking about. I have this issue even on the 14 Pro with 8 GB of RAM. Hope to see y'all finally nail down this issue in 2023.
Economist Nespresso is the perfect shot of news
The Economist covers the 7 continents 5 oceans Very accurately All within a 2 minute read Never misses the target!
Great journalism, mediocre app
I love the Economist and get much of my news there. I use the app to read and listen to stories. I would not suffer the annoyances of this app for a lesser newspaper. The app shows so much promise, and the audio capabilities are a beloved feature. But it is incredibly slow to load, crashes often, and randomly loses my place in a story if I briefly leave the app. Simply scrolling through the weekly issue is a laggy and time-consuming process. Still, I interact with this app almost every day - perhaps my annoyances come in part from the frequency of my use.
Great content, not always timely
Love the Economist content, I’ve been a reader for a long time. I like reading the World In Brief in the morning but often the days content is not ready. It’s 7 am EST, and I’m sipping a coffee and want to catch up on events. I open the Economist app and the briefing is a day old. It happens often enough that I sometimes read the same content I read the day before without realizing I’m getting stale updates. Aren’t there journalists in the UK writing this with plenty of time to prepare for EST morning coffee?
My allegiance to economist
A trusted source of objectivity. My subscription was about to lapse. But it’s video and editorial content is beyond peer.
