The Economist has finally released an app for Android. Heavy readers of the popular periodical will be able to enjoy its content right from their mobile device. The app itself is free, but you have to be a subscriber to log in and view the content.
Features include:
- Each week’s issue available from 9pm London time each Thursday

The app is only for non-tablet devices running 2.0+. We got a preview of the Honeycomb optimized version back in February, but no news on when we can expect to see one. Please find links to the app after the break.
