Is it good?
The Economist Newspaper Group Inc. has put efforts and engineered a sophisticated weekly app. What makes it successful? It is very easy to use for such a solid news app with built-in global features. Well, as a top-performing app with an overall rating of 4.87 I can only add what people who have tried it are saying.
Iām new to The Economist after a suggestion from a relative. My goal was to be more purposeful and engaged in the content that I consume and break the habit of endless scrolling of news headlines via Twitter, Googleās and Appleās customized news outlets. I find myself actually wanting to read the content published by The Economist rather than skimming headlines. I enjoy learning about whatās going on around the world rather than being inundated by insignificant headlines that make many of the other news outletsā front pages just to get clicks. Itās a completely different experience. For times when I canāt read the content, like while driving, or if I want to consume some of their longer form content but want to give my eyes a rest from screen fatigue, itās nice they offer users the option to listen to the content as well. The daily Espresso emails are short bursts of content in the AM while I have my coffee and then throughout the day I can read further the content that Iām interested in. Thanks The Economist!
Suggestion for future app improvements:
(1) Give users the ability to double tap the āHomeā button at the bottom to quickly jump to the top of the page.
(2) Give users the ability to better organize their Saved content. Either give them ways to create folders to organize their content, or the capability to apply ātagsā to the content.
I started reading The Economist at around 16 (yes, really). It was recommended reading for passing my British army entrance tests and Iāve been a fan ever since. The idea of truly unbiased journalism is a myth - as soon as one picks up a pen or a camera, they are biased. What is included or omitted is as much a part of bias as what opinion is deliberately conveyed. That said, I think The Economist does an excellent job of being balanced; and when it is taking a side, it says so - elections, wars, major debates. I particularly like the lack of affiliation of each piece and the āvoiceā of the paper, I find it reduces grandstanding and personal politics (anyone willing to write for a paper that deliberately doesnāt give the author credit is alright by me).
Then thereās the app. It can be read daily as a source of news or you can read the weekly edition ācover-to-coverā as I do.
If youāre looking for a great one-stop-shop for informed news, The Economist app is it.
