Ratings and Reviews
A pleasure to read or listen to
Having access to the digital version of The Economist is not only about (the important) keeping pace with a fast evolving world reality. It is also about enjoying a degree of analysis and depth, something which is in ever shorter supply in much of today’s media. What a pleasure to read - or listen to -succinct yet well-conceived articles, with arguments properly developed and a robust use of syntax, grammar and semantics!
Really good
I'm not here to comment on the quality of the articles that the economist offer as it's unmatched across the world. I'm here to talk about the app, which is really great. I gave you 4 stars as I would love to see articles disappeared from the home page once they have been read to be able to discover more new content. Plus it's been months since the saved articles are not shown in the saved section of the app, like nothing was ever saved.
Great content, terrible app
Not here to comment on the content, which obviously is amazing.
The app however is a disappointment. Interface could be better but the worst part is its sluggishness, looking at how much storage the app takes something seems to be piling up in the background. So every month or so one needs to delete and reinstall the app in order to keep it workable...
