The legacy app used to be much better than the new. But now it has been crippled so that you have to keep logging in as a subscriber to view individual articles. The website is now better than either app. But if you just want to see summaries not journalism the Economist Espresso is OK.

This app and subscription is poor and frequently denies me access to magazines that I've paid for

In the 18 months since my last review they have mostly addressed my concerns. They've even stepped right back on the white male bashing that had me drop the subscription for most of a year. Only the new audio UI is a step backward.

I used to buy single copies but lately found myself unable to do so. The support desk was unable to help me. Uninstalling the app and finding another news source, albeit with regrets.

I wanted to subscribe but this app just couldn't load the subscribtion page. And I also couldn't manage to buy the issue. Its so annoying.

Used the app for years and 2 weeks ago it suddenly stopped working and says "Sorry - our server did not respond in time. Try again later." For 2 weeks their servers are not responding. I have a very standard android phone. Uninstalled, reinstalled several times now. Terrible!

Really glitchy. It often just crashes or deletes a previously downloaded issue. Ads appear after a delay so you can click on something else and end up going to the advert. Less importantly, it has lost features compared to previous versions and iOS version, such as the simpler list of audio articles and being able to order articles when listening. Update: still loads of crashes and random deletions of previously downloaded content. Re-updated with an extra star as it's better than the new app!
