The free weekly part of the app allow access to weekly sample of must-read articles chosen by the editor. The full issue of The Economist is available upon subscription. Once downloaded, users can read the magazine offline without the internet.
John Micklethwait, editor-in-chief of The Economist said: “We have integrated our audio edition, read by professional newscasters, for easy switching between reading and listening. We have put a lot of work into making sure that these new versions of The Economist are not just easy to use, but also make our readers feel at home."
"We have a growing print circulation of 1.5 million. We expect to reach similar numbers with our digital offerings in a relatively short period of time,” Oscar Grut, managing director of digital editions added.
