Ratings and Reviews
Just one flaw - otherwise perfect
Great product - you feel like you r in the newsroom. The problem is technical .. It s not convenient to read on iPad because it only displays in portrait mode... And Ipad Stands assume landscape The email version is better because I can read 'hands free' except the annoying promotion of the 'Portrait only' App as more convenient than the email even though it isn't. It would be great to have a highlight copy paste function for up to 3 words to Google items mentioned sometimes I want a family license to pay extra but not much more for my kids
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.
It’s great… Swipe oh, an in-line add…
I love this app so much, it’s handy to get small bitesize news articles. Everything is written concisely in an dense info packet. I believe recently there was an update which made the ads slightly more intrusive. Before, I would swipe and there would be an ad (that’s fine - I understand that ads are important for this kind of media). However, now I get onto an article and then the ad loads and covers over the article. I find myself more inclined to swipe away the ad before I read what it’s actually about because it’s a little more intrusive. Please change it back. Otherwise this is a 5 star app from a world class magazine.
