Economist World in Figures App Reviews

Not a fan and cannot figure out how to unsubscribe.

The app has lots of information mostly pertaining to economy of countries. Since there is plenty good I wont dig into that too much but rather write about a few annoyances. 1. First, I simply wanted to try out the app without the intention to purchase it, but at the end of the month of trial I found out there was no easy way (unsubscribe button or something) of backing out. So I ended up paying for it. There are many other apps out there just as good for free or much less. Granted the ranking criteria and possibility to customize rankings is a plus for this app. But I didnt intend to purchase the thing. For this extra mess this app gets a star less. 2. A real fun though is the Factquest game but I wish it would be tweaked a little: - it must include the right answer in the case that the wrong answer was selected. Its frustrating to select a wrong answer and receive a red X with no further explanation. "oh ya it must have been Brazil or well, it could have been China... Who knows!?" - I wish there would be many more lives. Its frustrating that it allows only 3 mistakes before the game is... over. Maybe there could be a learning version of the game where one wouldnt be cut off if making mistakes. 3. While the app shines in the country economy criteria it is pitifully poor regarding other country data, such as geography, maps, population etc. There are much more complete apps out there. One less star here. 4. The Country Profiles - Profile Overview has very brief information, could be more like country gdp, gdp per person, population etc. And also, it doesnt help so much to know that a certain countrys gdp is this sum of rubles or yens or whatever. $ figures are of course much easier to relate to. Otherwise great!

Repeating the criticism that this is an app that offers a free trial but gives you no obvious way - even in the subscriptions setting menu - to cancel before they apply a charge. Definitely not worth paying for when the information is perfectly easy to find on basic Internet.

No way to cancel after entering free trial!

Impossible to figure out how to cancel this service. I highly recommend against purchasing this service given that the cancellation of the subscription is a mystery.

No way to cancel an auto renewing, overpriced app? The functionality gets old after one use and once you check in, you can never leave.

When you download this app you automatically choose to renew this subscription. No way to cancel your subscription!!!!!! Dont waste your money!

Not too bad but I wish the quiz game showed the answer to incorrect responses.
