  Clunk and Hard to use

  The app continues to be an abomination, with what should be “basic” features missing. Downloaded issues continue to “spin”; briefly leaving the app results in a long start up load and back to the main page, instead of continuing where left off in the weekly edition. Weekly edition articles have too many links. the previous version of the app was simple, clean, and easy to use. Bring it back!

  Audio gone from most recent app update

  Hundreds of articles fed to us about AI yet economist can’t figure out how to update their app without completely breaking it. Great job!

  Awful. Bring back the old app

  Will sometimes (but inexplicably not all the time) refuse to play downloaded articles when not connected to the internet. I listen to articles while hiking in areas that don’t have cell reception so this is a deal breaker for me. Was not a problem with the old app.

  I paid for a subscription and could not set up the app. I have many I set up with no problem, but not this one

  Leftist slop reporting

  This used to be my favorite magazine (started subscribing in 1995) but it has been taken over by extreme left socialist that wish for censorship, to destroy the US and to sow lies and hate around the world. try fact checking any sampling of their articles and you will be shocked at the one sided representation of events they publish. i am saddened by what it has become. shame.

  Amazing content bad app

  The app used the be functional and simple - now it wants to be fancy and every update is buggier. Complex UX. Downloads and play breaks. Poorly accessible UX, you name it. Also it desperately wants to prevent you to from accessing the magazine content.

• ★★★★★Gemini Anonymous

  Neoliberal

  This companies “reporting” contains pro neoliberal status quo. Something has to change this system of no regulation capitalism cannot stay the same
