  • 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

  • Terrible Experience Cancelling - TRYER BEWARE!

    I tried the trial and didn't find it valuable. So I went to Manage My Subscription and tried to cancel. They make it VERY DIFFICULT! They go back and forth using what appears to be a chatbot. They ask you why you're cancelling, over and over. They offer you upgrades. They offer you discounts. Back and forth, back and forth - even tho with each reply I just played "broken record" with them and simply replied, "No. Just cancel." Over and over. Finally, they cancelled. What should have taken one minute took about 15 (including an aborted first attempt because their site wouldn't register my responses that time and I had to start over). I am surprised. I thought The Economist would hold itself to higher standards.

  • Great addition of international translations

    I greatly appreciate the opportunity to read the morning roll-up of the news in German. I have long trusted the Economist‘s fact based reporting, deep analysis, and relatively unbiased journalism.

    Relevant topics discussed at a high level by experts, all in a particularly bite size format which is a great way to consume information. Espresso is a great place to start for students wanting to get interested in global trends and the latest news.

  • Scammers — I’m paying for this app and can’t access the content

    I’ve been a subscriber to The Economist Espresso for years now. When the app works, it’s tremendous content and worth paying for. However, it’s been nearly impossible to access the content on a daily basis for a while now. I tried talking to their customer support team and they were useless. So, in the meantime, The Economist is taking my money without providing a service. Terrible, I’d give 0 stars if I could. They also tried to contact me after another 1 star review I left, and were no help there either.
