Keeps me up to date when short of time

Great design, quality writing and news. Trustworthy as usual. A little bit too brief at times. Notification Center integration would be fantastic. Maybe like the one from WSJ? Keeps me up to date when short of time in the mornings.

Dont subscribe

There is no option to unsubscribe and they force you to subscribe during the testing period. I liked your business before.

Im enjoying it every morning!

A shot (or two) of the news and the state of the world in the morning, through short but insightful articles that focus on what matters, with a pinch of the very same analytical view of the Economist that make the news something much more than just news.

Good idea, but hypersensitive to slow connections

Very useful app in principle, and could over time develop into a great "day-starter" containing essential news. My complaint: If you have a slow internet connection, the app will think you are offline. For people like me, who works in Africa where connections are often sluggish, it is outright frustrating to restart the app again and again in the hope it will finally bite. Economist: Please make the app more patient to slow connections, not all of your readers live in high-tech environments. Thanks.

Who came up with these ads?

Always liked the Espresso app. Good layout, good articles. Only criticism was, that it was very slow and sometimes wouldnt open. But who came up with these ads lately? I paid the 3€/month fee gladly, thinking this was just a fair amount of money for what I get. No you push ads (even they are native ones and not too bad) at me? Just ask an honest subscription price, that is sustainable for. Dont alter the deal a few months in ...

Genius

This finally is the update that makes the app perfect, fixing some last glitches and improving overall experience. Thank you The Economist!

Great summaries

The economist espresso app is a great companion to the magazine allowing you to keep up to date in a distilled daily fashion.

Excellent and short summary of main news

Gives a good overview of current "hot" topics - and can be read over an espresso. Earlier connection time outs have also been fixed.

concise, very informative, yet more european subjects needed

Its a pleasure to get in five minutes good analysis and short backgrounds about events. At the same time, being a reader of the European edition I would expect to get more information about European matters.

Good overview

A good and shortcut way to start the economic day

Just what I need in the morning.

A pithy introduction to The Economist

Espresso gives you a flavor every morning what its like reading The Economist, witty and informative with a liberal stance.

This app changed my daily routine. Every morning I am very keen on getting my quick briefing :-)

Good summary for the morning

Informative and fun to read in the morning or while you commute.

Good news app

Gets interesting up to date news from all of the world, not just the west. No glitches so far.

Great app for daily news

Great app for daily news

Does what it is supposed to do.

And that without any perceivable errors.

Very Good News Summary

To the usual standard of the Economist. Only complaints are occasional slowness to load and the market indices are often not updated.

Very good

Everything is good, except the font, which is too big for iPad Air.

All you need..

Perfect, short but valuable information on the main topics. Use it every day..
