The Economist weekly EU iPad App Reviews

Perfect in a single word

Excellent. Just this. Not necessary to say anything else. Thanks

Reading The Economist on an ipad is pure pleasure. Simple intuitive UI and a magazine designed aspecially for tablet - simply great.

one of the greatest ipad apps

More problems with audio

Full text does not display, only one column shows up, does not allow to scroll. Pls fix this asap!

Guys, I cant access my single issues again. Few weeks ago I bought and downloaded issue with Putin on the face, and hoped to read and listen when would have free time. But when I remember about my wish I found that issue was inaccessible again and app offered to buy it.

Ive never been able to download a single issue. The download doesnt even start (well, technically it does, but there is no progress). I dont know what may the problem be, works fine on the iPhone, but not my iPad. Too bad. If there is any way of fixing that, please let me know.

The application disappeared from my iPad and there seems to be no way to get it back as the iPad or iTune Store say it is installed! The Economist support does not list such problem on their site...

The content is undoubtedly great, but the app could be better. It should be more interactive and have fewer ads.

Audio cant be downloaded on the current version of the magazine. Customer service doesnt work. On all my latterly which I sent to them Ive received only auto-replys ! Please give me back my money!

App in line with seriousness of newspaper

Fantastic as the paper. I like too much!!!

Please add the feature that enable to define or read a word as is already available on iphone version

The Economist is a pleasure to read. With a sharpened head of ironiy, its articoles are as well as enjoing as seriuos to aknowledge. With a fair exciting ipad edition and a marvelouse complete audio edition, this is by far the foremost source of information at my disposal

Good app, but FTs is better. In a certain way too static, according to nowaday standards. I would like more dynamism and less ads. The Economist is The Economist: it deserves something more and something better.

Easy to use and complete. It aptly replaces the paper journal, with the advantage of portability and improved readability. Maybe the one slightly negative note is the aggressiveness of some ads.

I am equally - and happily - divided between the weekly receipt of the hard copy (more often on Mondays, "thanks" to our mail services, than on the Fridays before ...) and looking on Fridays on the app and get a feeling of the contents of each issue: albeit I must confess that the rustle of pages perused on paper exerts on me a slightly greater fascination than that of pages browsed online. One way or the other, each section, from Leaders to Obituary, and each article is worth a reading, quicker or slower according to each ones interest (my special mention goes to Science and Technology - being a lawyer thats probably not that much): the magazines style - inclusive of the ads, which are in either format different and only moderately, understandably obnoxious - is definitely pleasant. Mr. Bagehots imprinting (aptly upgraded to follow the changes occurred in our history) remains an important benchmark for our every days analysis and interpretation of what happens every day. As the several reproductions of Rodins "le Penseur" remind us, the Economist helps each of us significantly in exercising what for many is - unfortunately - "the real labor of thinking" and have an updated and agile mind. Thanks for keeping us all on the same page - your pages. Best, Agostino Migone

It is an amazing app. Easy to read and to listen to. Congratulations.

The Economist is always a pleasure, expecially on your ipad
