Leave a Review Espresso from The Economist
Bite size brilliance
The Economist is rightly famed for its clear, concise use of the English language. The Espresso bulletin is the best possible example of how this hard-earned reputation was earned in practice. It is frankly amazing how much relevant information the editorial team manages to fit neatly into the short summaries of major developments around the world. Anyone ‘on the run’, as I am all too frequently, can get an extraordinarily comprehensive overview of world affairs and their potential impact on the markets (with latest exchange rates etc. all indicated) from these 8 brief pages.Show lessmickey-bear
Much improved interface, unparalleled news
Seems like most of the kinks have been worked out of this app finally. I used to have an issue of it pulling up the last days news I had accessed before I had to force it forward to the current day. No longer a problem. Great copy and coverage. Love the quotes at the end. Please make an Apple Watch version!Show lessTryDxn
A great morning perk
The app is simple - 6 stories: all short and concise. It is a great companion to the weekly Economist as it provides more timely insights on the days news. I also appreciate the dry humor and photo captions I look for from the Economist. It is nice to get a taste of what might be coming at week's end in the magazine.Show lessIamintheWoods
A Nice Dose of Calm
In the morning, I tend to make my coffee, meditate for 10-15 minutes, then read Espresso before moving on to something else whilst sipping my bean-water. As part of my morning ritual, Espresso gives me a good boost in thinking while making me a laugh out loud every so often. It’s well-informed data and links to Economist articles furthers my understanding of what’s going on in the world today. Plus, as a sucker for a good quote, the last page of the report makes me happy. Overall, a great use of time every day.Show lessFenrisChosen
Expresso
The putative offspring of the most well written weekly news magazine. Plump it up by including at least one pivotal article from its parent.Dull Drom
A great second to the economist.
I spend a lot of time reading the economist articles, and find them quite interesting and knowledge dense. Of course, sometimes I do not have the time to read my daily article, and this is where ‘espresso’ saves my time. The articles presented in the espresso version of the economist are, knowledge dense and short. They have made my daily intake of news a lot easier and a lot faster.Show lessSatanistPotato
Just the shot of news you need
Instead of focusing on opinion based, hastily researched screeching about current events, The Economist’s Espresso presents small doses of well developed analysis regarding news from the entire world. It’s all the broad scope of the weekly periodical, but doesn’t require the time equivalent of a second job to read. This is the antidote to the sound bite addicted, 24 hour news cycle.Show lessMello Edits
Time efficient
I really miss reading my hard copy of the Economist. But being time short and regularly travelling, it’s great to get a daily briefing, and also to get via email, recommended articles from the weekly print version which I can read on line . Been reading the Economist one way or another since I was 17. Now 73 !!!Show lessAlan P # 1
Best daily news summary
This is one of the few apps that open on a daily basis every morning. The writing is exactly what you expect from the Economist, which is the only magazine I subscribe to. It's nice to have a short, concise summary of the news to read as I sip my morning coffee.doctordonn
Annoying, minor and easily solvable technical issue
This app had one minor annoying issue, it won’t sync what is read across devices. I read it on my phone in the morning, but when I open my iPad in the evening the stories show as unread.
This is a Minor issue, but perhaps working across multiple devices and having slight OCD are a combination more common in readers of The Economist than in the general population. Since this happens 6 days a week, it merits being fixed.
Thank you.Show lessPauloDTMT
