What are users saying about The Economist Espresso

J70%
by J####:

Excellent little app. Great for morning news. I reported an annoying feature and the Economist had it fixed within a couple days! Keep up the good work.

Q70%
by Q####:

Quick update on a few topics. Some interesting but some clearly not.

R70%
by R####:

Great bitesize news that doesn't make the front pages but is worth knowing, plus snippets of the usual headlines in case you've missed them. Well-made app and writing with the Economist's usual blend of deep knowledge and wry humour.

N70%
by N####:

Requires access to body sensors? I find this creepy and intrusive. Why would a simple news app require the permissions this app asks for? I instantly deleted it. I'll get the same news from elsewhere thanks.

W70%
by W####:

Best source for a daily heads up. Only downside is market info page seems not working often. 7/17 update. Changed my rating to 5 stars. They fixed the market info page months ago. Still my first read every day.

N70%
by N####:

Nice crisp and concise news snippets, to the point talk. That's different from the others, just find sponsored content annoying. Don't know why it's there when I'm paying

O70%
by O####:

Monday to Friday you get the Economist's five top news stories and a brief summary of a few more, followed by a page of key market data. On Saturday the stories are more arts and culture. Excellent free service for subscribers to the Economist.

R70%
by R####:

Bite sized information à la Economist. Sometimes the bites are too small for the story, but always, they are enough to inform.

N70%
by N####:

Wish they'd stop with the sponsored ad. You already pay for the ap so whys it there? Otherwise it gives a nice brief outlook on the news and it has a low amount of permissions for my phone which I like.

P70%
by P####:

It's great to have an app whose goal is for you to spend as little time as possible on it. It's a refreshing difference from apps that are all about maximizing "engagement". Four stars and not five because of sponsorship from fossil fuel giant, BP.

N70%
by N####:

I tried this as a Yahoo News Digest alternative and came away disappointed. There is far less content here (only 7ish stories per day, no stories on Sunday, no extra info or pictures, etc.), pop-up ads are present, and it costs $48 per year. I'll be left looking elsewhere for a News Digest alternative when my free trial ends.

H70%
by H####:

I would like to see more immerging market focus i.e. at least 1 of the short articles dedicated to that. Over all a great avenue of condensed information. Thank you.

N70%
by N####:

Great succinct summary of upcoming issues across the globe, together with key indicators and exchange rates. Perfect accompaniment to your morning coffee.

N70%
by N####:

A wonderful app that I go to first thing in the morning,

N70%
by N####:

Good stuff, it is my sane source of news as opposed to Fox or Jones. Balanced news sourcing is good for perspective and knowing where the players are positioned.

N70%
by N####:

I appreciate the real global news presented in this app. Well-written, succinct with links to more details on the topic if desired.

N70%
by N####:

Nice one, serve you everything in brief so you can grasp world's essential insight in just 10 minutes.

T70%
by T####:

Good for what it does; very short (1-2 paragraphs) news blurbs with some but not enough analysis.

V70%
by V####:

Good articles. Stable app. It would be the best if it would have the same option as the economists main app ( listening to the articles)

I70%
by I####:

Great app to get your morning news back. I still wish the daily videos were a part as well.

N70%
by N####:

If it is listed as a free app and I install, will quickly uninstall if its free trial Free means free!

B70%
by B####:

The Economist in general has one of the very best online presences on the internet. This app is no exception.

N70%

Good briefs, could provide more useful early morning market data and economic events.
