My reliable source of information for decades.

App got buggier after update
I am usually an avid reader of the Economist but this latest update of the application is driving me to seriously cancel my subscription. Unlike the previous versions, articles on the app take many seconds to load; buttons are unresponsive; and the audio player simply doesn’t work. Now it is just a pain to use the application.
The app used to be a bright spot of the subscription but I am not sure if this is still the case.
