HOW SURE ARE WE
Lower confidence: this app ranks below the overall top 50 everywhere, where single estimates can be off 2 to 4 times. The range is wide on purpose. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★Oct 19, 2026

Doesn't work on Android, the images do not render. Works in the full Economist app, so use that instead.

★★★★★Oct 5, 2026

It is a useful summary of the day's news. But One is left with the overwhelming feeling that it is not a very loved bit of software. It had gradually been getting worse over the years, and, for example, now won't display any of the graphs that are frequently at the end of an article. I am running the Android version on a pixel phone

★★★★★Oct 3, 2026

Like most android apps, it is ignored and bugs don't get fixed. I really like the content of the app, but my pleas to have the economist fix the app have gone unanswered. The charts and graphics have not worked in a long time, but you used to be able to select them to see them on a new window. That doesn't work any longer and they just appear blank. I will continue to pay for it for as long as the content is still readable. It's anyone's guess how long that'll be. My bet is the next big update

★★★★★Sep 9, 2026

Recently struggling to load at all on Pixel11. Great app & marvellous content! This paper easily qualifies as a lifetime companion. Brief. Sincere. Witty. Astoundingly enriching. This paper unveils the very heart of information. Another star missing because quite some contributors spend 20% of their energy and readers energy to cry about realities being in discord with the issuer's expectations.

★★★★★Aug 15, 2026

You can't see the graphs and maps
