Leave a Review Espresso from The Economist

A quick cup of joe
The Economist is known for its in-depth articles and well researched quarterly briefings on important topics. How well does it provide a short take on the big stories of the day?
Surprisingly well. There's not quite enough - so you can click through to the magazine for more - but it's presented with the Economist's trademark wit ('Out like Flynn'), and gives you the headline facts while you're waiting for the lift. Nicely done.

Pithy and Concise
An enjoyable and topical daily read that takes no more than 5 minutes. Covers a wide range of current affairs, many of which are not generally covered by mainstream NZ media

Relevant short interesting
The material in espresso is well pitched. Short and snappy items are headlined, and items of less interest can be easily skipped or ignored. It is now a key part of my morning updates.

Great content, terrible app
The Economist content is great - a nice little 'sip' of the day's important news. The problem is that the app simply does not work - six times out of seven I get a "Sorry, Things are moving slowly..." message and cannot get access to the day's news. This happens regardless even on stable, fast connections, so I am certain it is a problem at The Economist's end...

Also (minor point) there is no update on Saturday or Sunday - that may be the weekend in some parts of the world, but not where I live!
