The Economist. Weekly issue Customer Insights

1. Issues I've encountered include editions having to be redownloaded for some unknown reason, the interface not being aware of Pixel 3's notch at the top of the screen, and (most annoyingly) not being able to play the audio version over Bluetooth when I'm in the car.

2. Only giving it two stars because text articles work fine, and they fixed the issue with the audio version losing your place after closing the app.

3. I don't mind seeing ads I can scroll over in the articles, but the full-screen ones I have to swipe away are obnoxious.While the app as a whole has its issues -- browse through some of the other reviews -- this one addresses the audio portion.

4. Update 8 months later: Just updated the app again and, while they may have fixed the problem of the app losing its place, now it won't play if you don't have a wifi connection, even if all the audio was previously downloaded.

5. Earlier version of audio app did not have these issues.The audio of the articles cuts off periodically, but other than that it's a great app.

6. There needs to be a way to get straight back to the last article you listened to without opening the app, selecting the issue, swiping past the obligatory advert and hitting the teensy audio button at the top-right.

7. Even if one gets the audio started just prior to driving, the audio has a habit of stopping if the device's screensaver goes active, and it may or may not restart once the screensaver is deactivated.

8. "Internet Connection" error whenever I move from wifi connection to data roaming or vice versa on the audio.

9. Audio will stop playing between articles.

10. In order to download the Audio I must close all of my apps and then reboot my Android phone.

11. I particularly enjoy downloading the audio version of each Edition.
