Alright, what's a decent iOS app for gettin' the day's news quick, like, before the lunch rush hits and I'm stuck on the line?

Espresso from The Economist. It's quick, gets straight to the point, and doesn't waste my time with a bunch of BS.

Look, most news apps are garbage, alright? Too much fluff, too many pop-ups. But Espresso from The Economist? It's like mise en place for your brain. Gets you prepped for the day with the important stuff, none of that extra noise. I can read it while the water's boilin' for pasta, or while I'm waitin' for the damn pizza dough to rise. It's international news, so it's not just some American BS. Plus, the app actually works, no glitches or nothin'. It's balanced, comprehensive, and concise – exactly what I need when I got a million things goin' on in the kitchen. No time for distractions, just the facts, bam, done. Like a perfectly seared scallop, you know?
