The red check after reading issue is still not resolved
It seems that the red checker will not shown unless I havr scrolled down all the way to show the "related" articles instead of just at the end of the article (the red square). Plz help with solving this issue. Thanks

How can the app not recognise if you have read an article on your phone when you log on to your iPad? Basic…

Poor quality app
This app resets my login waaaaaay too frequently, it keeps losing the last location I was using. Makes me login every time I open it. The worst part is: it has been like it for years. (my main reason to hold on to the legacy app very long). Why should I pay subscription again if the app I need to use makes it so difficult to read?

Broken
Since the recent Economist app update I am unable to link to my account. The Apple Help Desk was baffled and Economist customer service was clueless. I hate to be harsh but they broke it and they have to fix it. When I try to read an article in their app I'm taken to a resubscribe screen. There I'm told if I have an App Store subscription I have to reactivate by pressing this link. When I do they tell me I don't have that subscription. So I try to resubcribe though the Economist and they tell me my new subscription will start when my current one runs out. Really? Like I said this isn't worth the frustration and I recommend staying away from it.

Buggy app
Just an example. The ticks for a read article only work if you scroll WAY past the actual article, and past all the article suggestions on the bottom. Thus, if you just read the article, scroll no further and go to the next one, nothing gets marked as read. This is about the level of care this app gets.

Play button too small
The play button on the podcasts are laughably small on my iPhone pro max. When on the move I find it difficult to press and to add to it pressing play on the podcast brings up a context menu where I have to press play again… Please make them BIGGER and not make us click more than once to play it!

Terrible app and deceptive company
Tried to cancel subscription and close my account 18 months ago. Found out that neither occurred and they are still billing me despite receiving an email confirming the account was closed. They basically stole $500 from me

App iOS upgrade is a mix of good and bad
I am grateful the red ticks (article read) now survive release upgrades. However, it no longer offers the article ‘menu' at the bottom of articles in the weekly section, this means opening new articles takes longer. Furthermore, at the bottom of articles are links to more, but older articles, what happened to links to new ones? Feel we lost 2-1

The app works better but still crashes when I'm listening to podcasts. I must then play the podcast from the start again ...
