  • Horrible. DO NOT TAKE FREE TRIAL

    Inadequate content and atrocious experience cancelling the free trial. I expected more integrity.
  • A smooth digital expresso!

    Expresso gives me the essentialist amount of information that I need to know for the day about the world’s political economy. Not too American, not too much information, and not too visually distracting.
  • TRASH "NEWS"

    cancelled after 2 days of a subscription. their news is so biased to the point of being incorrect... blatantly just not reporting events, misattributing causes etc. on which every reputable news source agrees. i'm a student and i was looking for a good news subscription to keep up w international politics. the economist highly disappointed me. it reads like a tiktok/tabloid with how untrue and blatantly opinionated it is. i know all news has bias, but the economist is way too biased to the point of not being reliable. i guess its reputation is outdated
  • Overpriced

    espresso is some $79 bucks for just 4 or 5 articles daily, ie 1/3 the price of regular economist, but for much much less than 1/3 of the articles… and to personalize the 4 or 5 free articles, you have to let the share your data
  • Efficient but costly

    Would like a little more news or make the subscription price a little less.
  • Perfect amount of news for the day

    I needed a slim news experience that avoids the hang wringing or triumphalism in a lot of news coverage. The espresso app scratches that itch!
  • Text size setting does not work

    The app has a setting to select text size but this slider does not appear to do anything.
  • Virtually (?) impossible to cancel

    Am now 25 minutes into trying to cancel my subscription. Ridiculous.
  • Great content, but unacceptably buggy

    I have always loved the economist espresso, but it’s audio version is horrifically buggy. Whenever you open the app, it still plays the edition of an old (vs current) day and you need to shut down and re-open the app multiple times in order to get to the latest current version. Sometimes, even that doesn’t work - please fix!
  • Can’t re-read

    Literally the product manager on this should be a case study on how not to design a product. If you quit the app early, you’ll lose the ability to go back
