Espresso from The Economist App Reviews

Excellent morning briefing you can read in less than 5 minutes. I use it primarily as a source of inspiration and to get charged up before work. As some mentioned the ability to download new issue in the background would be a welcome addition, however over a few months there has only been one day when I forgot to do it, and couldnt read the new issue on the metro.

Ideal format in terms of number of articles and lenght. And the quality one expects from the Economist.

Unfortunately the new articles sometimes get published very late the morning or during the day, which undermines an otherwise great app. Good content.

First thing I read to know whats happening in the world.

I check Espresso every morning to get up to speed on current events. The quote of the day is also very good and often post-worthy for my friends. I get the print and digital versions of the weekly Economist as well

The daily edition gives me a quick look at whats happening in the world. Its a great little app.

It takes only 5 minutes every morning to find out what matters.

A few quick reads to get up to speed on newsworthy stories.

Its the best way to get up in the morning! It provides concise but accurate news about whats going on in europe and abroad.

Perfect amount of content for a morning read with coffee.

For people with a busy lifestyle the morning Espresso provides a great quick summary of world news. I do wish I had more control over the news I receive though - for example more focus on international news over news within the US.

Encapsulated news is all the rage but Economist Espresso does work like a jolt of caffeine to get you thinking about the important stories of the day with just enough detail.

They do a nice job of making little bites of the daily headlines around the world. The best and most compact source of world headlines and interesting trivia. Their bias is tolerable.

Clear, concise writing combined with links to more in-depth articles keep me up-to-date with the world.

The Economist is long known for objectivity. This app gives you what you need to know to start the day. They treat news as news, not content to support click-throughs; it is journalism at its best.

Concise headlines written in the same style as full Economist articles, I love it

Two things I think that would make this app a lot better: download automatically each days new issue, and cache it so I can view it later when I dont have Internet access. I like to read on subway, but without Internet access, the app will simply display "please try again later" and wont even let me read issues I had downloaded before.

I am not always able to read the weekly edition in total, but this is a great 5 minute world update. An essential companion to my morning coffee.

Very good app

Enjoy the app every day. Like the new weekend edition too.
