What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"Great videos, terrible app. It crashes 4 out of 5 times I open it and then won't scroll 1 out of 2 times and then will crash on the video 3 out of 4 times, meaning I can only watch the video I want every 2.5 percent of the time I open the app. I recommend you save yourself much pain by going to the economist YouTube channel and seeing the same videos there"
Sean Patten
"Good app. It's very short but then i a really good one."
Melbin Abraham
"Good but short tour of the museum. It would be great have a longer tour available in the future."
