The Economist App on Windows 10/11: Microsoft Store Download

The Economist newspaper has been available as an application for Windows 8 users in the Windows Store for quite a while now, but only today do we have a thorough look at it.

You can also have a look at our reviews of the Financial Times app for Windows 8 and the New York Times one.

There are plenty of free news apps that you can download and install on your Windows 10, 8.1 tablet, and The Economist is definitely one of the best to try out. To be able to use the app, of course, you will need to have an account. If you don’t have one, you will register one right when you start the app. Also, after registering your account, in case you don’t have one, you will be asked whether you want to use the app in offline mode, which I recommend you to do in order to save up storage space.

With a free account, which means a non-subscriber profile, you will be able to read only the editor’s picks from a certain issue of the newspaper. You can also explore back issues of The Economist, with the first one being from June 2012. I’ve discovered that past issues have more free articles that you can enjoy and they look really bright on a Windows 8 tablet‘s display.

Each week’s issue of The Economist will be made available on every Thursday and if you will have enabled the offline mode, then you can download issues to your Windows 8 device and read them without having to rely on your Internet connectivity.

While reading an article, you can choose to mark it as a favorite, increase the font size and even listen to the audio version of it, which is really cool.
