The Economist - Latest Quality Issues
Android

Great content, absolutely horrendously laggy app.

Bad, unresponsive app
iOS

Content is great the app is awful
The app is slow to cache, slow to load up initially, slow to change pages. It makes the whole experience of reading on the app almost impossible. So much so I have gone back to the paper edition. I tried to provide feedback but that is almost impossible. Almost telecom like! So publishing it here. Economist. Get it fixed, you are ruining a good read.

UX is terrible. I prefer to keep reading directly from the website, unfortunately the app is not comfortable, slow and not easy to understand.

Keeps stealing the audio
This is primerially a reading app so why does it steal my audio whenever I open it?? IT'S SO ANNOYING that it stops my audio just for opening it - no other news app does this - it just makes the Economist app appear very poorly made.

Slow controls
Unfortunately the app is really laggy, even scrolling does not work without jumps

Great content, incredibly slow app. I have various newspaper apps on my tablet, but this one is by far the slowest, to the point where it starts to become unusable. You tap on a link and wait for 10+ seconds until something happens. I'd hate to unsunscribe, but the app really takes all the fun out of reading the fantastic content the Economist journalists produce every week.

Love the content, but the app is by far the slowest and most unresponsive app on my phone which makes it almost unusable and very frustrating.

The Economist is biased pro-western, anti-Chinese, anti-Russian propaganda.
