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 pick the 4 or 5 free articles or just topics, you have to let the share your data…ie the one article you want to read, sorry not included in this app.

App has degraded and increased 170% in price
The content they provide in this app is still 5-stars. I’ve been subscribing to this app for probably 8 years, and for most of that time it has been rock solid. However, recently the app itself has been getting more and more buggy. Literally *every day* now the “subscribe” popup pops up, and I have to tap “restore subscription”, which sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. Of course this decline in quality has been accompanied by a 170% price increase. The content quality is amazing, but the small quantity is not worth $80/year. Thankfully I’m grandfathered in on the old price. Please fix what used to be a great app, and charge a reasonable price!
