We’ve talked about the official The Economist app for Windows 8 on Wind8Apps a while ago, so feel free to go ahead and read the entire review if you’re interested in more details. But if you have already installed it, then you are probably interested in hearing what exactly the update is all about. The official changelog only says that general improvements and bug-fixes have been deployed but, as always, I’ve went on the Windows Store and discovered that now pages flip much faster when reading especially an old edition. I have tested this myself.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
