Great ux; poor audio – The Economist Classic US Review

This is one of the best designed apps out there. I particularly like that it provides the option of selecting which stories you want to download in audio. The problem comes when you try to use third party listening devices like headphones with the app. The app is either non responsive to headphone commands or when you stop and then restart a story an ad will play on top of the story. A few times Apple’s music player came on instead of the app. This deficiency fundamentally impares my ability to use the app unless I have my phone on and in front of me, which is basically never.
