Considering how much I'm paying for the subscription to the economist I don't think it's unreasonable to expect an app that actually works. This app doesn't download the latest version and now I have to go out to their website to read it - not what I paid for!

Uninstalled and reinstalled app but still getting "The Economist app cannot contact the server. Please connect to a stronger network and try again." error message.

This is far superior to reading the Economist on its website on your PC. I have a Sony Ultrabook with an amazing screen and longed for reading the Economist with a similar experience to my iPad mini. Done!

This will take your $ and give you nothing back. Will not allow login and password matching. Good luck getting customer service to help. Good lucjn getting a "CRN" ... good luck wasting your time... Buyer beware.... very very poor app.

The app does not recognize my user name and password, even after resetting my password and reinstalling.

Was a really great app but has suddenly stopped updating, even after reinstalling app. Sort it out Economist, I've paid for a digital subscription which I now cannot use!

This app has been buggy from the begin of use on a Surface 2. Now is just say that it won't work with this device. Time for some one to upgrade. I bought a subscription and hate to be limited to reading on my phone or desk. Get with it you app developers.

Can not read offline, takes forever before getting latest issue, difficult navigating. etc...I used to read this on my iPad where there are no such problems... hard to understand why on Windows we can not get the same functionality and ease of use.
