Super useful and well-written content. Nicely designed. Only complaint is that Google pops up a notice that "this app won't work properly without access...to the telephone." I don't understand the connection. Why does it need to access the phone? Update: I still enjoy the bite-sized updates--but it has not loaded properly for almost a week now. Very buggy version!

Works poorly on Chromebooks. This app has been working great for many years on my Pixelbook. But 2 or 3 years ago, I could only read the first bit of the first article, but could read the others fine (workaround is copy the link and paste in browser). Now, it says I don't have an account and when I try to login, I get a blank screen after putting my email. Unusuable for me.

Really good app, works well and the style of writing is the same as the print edition.

My, what a buggy, annoying app! Love The Economist, just wish this app could provide some Economist content without a survey, a notification, or a screen with white font on a white background.

2 ★, on 2021-02-24
About 1 day in 3 the app just will not load the day's version. It just opens the previous day's version. Very disappointing.

3 ★, on 2021-02-10
Good app design, but news briefs are neither numerous enough nor informative enough for a paid app.
