Pros and cons of The Economist weekly AP issue app for iPhone and iPad

The Economist weekly AP issue app good for

One of the successfully transferred offline medium to online iOS version.
Plusses: +Free overview of the magazine with audio; +Adjustable font; +storage, which is accessible when the device is not connected to the web; Minusses: -audio is not synchronised with the text, when the dictor reads the text is not automatically scrolled. In general - nice app for general overview, but for reading the magasine I prefer to download its electonic form from library.
I recommend this app over and over again. I especially like that it has both audio and text for every article.
Simple, clean and easy to use. Just wish it had a dictionary function.
Love this app but can use it after updating my ios. Can u fix the bugs?
It was from year 2011 when I start to read Economist on smart phone, actually it has been two years, I changed my smart phone, but always with Economist app inside. There unique global view never ends.

Some bad moments

It used to be a perfect app indeed, but now its in the ugly newsstand folder... whats the point? Please, please get it out from there, the folder is so painful to watch! (I used to hide it)
Bad bad bad, in so many ways. Apart from the usage and functionality problems (of which there are many), it drains the battery VERY quickly, and the app takes up 1GB of space. Avoid this junk, and keep using the bug-ridden and horrible older version. Both are bad, the old one is less bad.
version 3.1.0 doesnt work on my iPod touch. all I can do is staring at black screen.
Screen goes black on my iPod touch. Completely unusable. DO NOT UPGRADE.
App no longer works on my iPod Touch since the update. Only a dark screen and no content. Fix the bug, please!
Same problem. Can only see a black screen on my iPod Touch with the most recent update.
