Overall I really like the idea of this app. I enjoy the bite size chunks of information across the world and the additional links on complex topics to longer economist reads. I think it costs too much for what it is... you're basically paying $1 per 100 words. And you still have ads! And honestly it's a bit biased, dissapointingly. Most obnoxious of all is the quote of the day at the end of the spiel, which is 95% if not more a quote from a man that is taken out of context. Really unnecessary.

It is 2019. I am able to stream high quality video footage of individuals playing video games from virtually anywhere in the planet. Yet this application can't even reliably load 5 mini articles each day. I always see "Sorry, things are taking longer than usual." If it takes 5+ minutes to load every day (assuming it loads at all) that isn't unusual. I dont have such problems.on my iPad, where things load without a hiccup. Such awful experience for a paid subscription.

This app is a wonderful way to stay current on world events without having to watch the news or filter through unverified articles shared by acquaintances online. The columns are somewhat editorialized (which I find humorous), but it also reveals the underlying biases of the journalists. Despite it carrying a slant (like any news outlet does), I will continue to log in for its quick, easy-to-digest updates on world news.
