My TV's screensaver keeps starting while watching content on this app. It doesn't happen with other video players/streamers.
The app is not loading since the last three days. Displaying "Cannot connect to The Economist Films server". Please resolve this issue as soon as possible.
The app can't find the server. 30 6 20 Uninstall reinstall repeatedly to no avail. Is anyone at the Economist aware of this? 21 7 20.
Great content and so full of information. Impressive and immersive. Brilliant job by The Economist team!!
Needs channel integration with Android TV Home Screen and Live Channels app. Otherwise, great app.
Good content but the app wont play the videos just tells me that it could not reach the server.. Please update it
GREAT content, but NO way to share videos? I think it's 2019.
Can't stream despite a good internet connection
i loved it.but can we able play in less data.
Won't connect to the server,
Wish there was heaps more awesome
Amazing content
Can be RECCOMEND
Content is very very good but quite less. App could have been better. There is no way to download the content or to see in offline mode. I can't understand when you are providing videos then how can you not provide to view in offline mode.
Great content but seriously need an offline mode.
Absolutely amazing content .
Very nice app with insights packed in attractive short videos. Please update the content more often. And it would be nice if you could add an option to watch the video offline.
Content is good. Technical stability of the app is very poor
Good diverse selection of short films.
Loving The Economist films. More of this please!
Freedom of press has many forms, thank you for preserving this one.
Great movies, have substituted daily news to this.
Please add chromecast support
I want to access all the films using filters like I can on Desktop. But I can't. Forget about filters ... I can't even access all the films.. and there is not even a single option tab :/ With The Economist we expect more!!
I really appreciate this app and The Economist apps as standalone mobile platform. Chromecast support included.
I can't open the app on my Galaxy S7
It crashes sometimes, though.
Crashes on Motorola G4 plus
While the app and the content is great, the subtitles are almost always out of sync. Please fix this.
