Please don’t sunset this app!
Love this app, exactly what I need. Much better than the newer version, which seems to push for daily content. This version offers the feel of reading a weekly magazine, which is what I like about The Economist. It also remembers the location of the article, which is extremely convenient and the newer app doesn’t seem to do.
United StatesSuper sad that this app is killing 1843…
Now that 1843 is a digital only magazine and this buggy app makes it impossible to read/download without issues, it’s really sad to think what will happen to an amazing publication. Please outsource your app to a platform like ZINIO or literally anywhere else instead of building it yourself :(
United StatesWarning! Do not subscribe via this app.
I am a long time Economist subscriber. I’m writing to help others avoid subscribing via the App Store. It has cause me nothing but problems getting access to content all subscribers should have. The app itself is fine, but the magazine’s customer support department doesn’t know what to do with App Store subscribers. It’s a horrible experience that is frankly a tarnish to the brand. Do yourself a favor and subscribe via the website first and bring your subscription to the apps. Otherwise, support will never be able to help you.
United StatesIt no longer plays the audio. Stopped working.
We used to listen through the articles. Now it is silent and will not load.
United StatesListening to the audio content is not easy anymore
The last versions made the listening of the audio content very difficult. Creating a play list is not practical. Moving from one issue to another issue makes the audio lists very messy. The earlier versions were much more easy to use.
United StatesNeed pagination
I dislike scrolling through articles such as the economist and would greatly prefer that there be an option which nicely paginates.
United StatesAudio Doesn’t Work, At All
I’d give it a 5-star rating if the audio worked. I’ve consulted the help pages on the Economist website, and I’ve tried their recommendations, but still no audio functionality. I would really like the audio functionality because it would help me with multi-tasking and reading challenges. Please fix!
