El Confidencial, a publication catering to influential readers, has introduced an updated version of its application. This initiative aims to provide users with top-quality information in Spanish, offering a cutting-edge experience that fits conveniently in their pockets.

This advanced product for Android is designed to deliver a more tailored reading experience, making navigation seamless while addressing the information needs of its users. It will continuously evolve, but this redesign showcases appealing features such as a customizable front page and the ability to read news offline.

The revamped application merges the interests of our audience with the expertise of the El Confidencial team. Users will discover exclusive updates on current events across various sections, including Spain, Cotizalia, World, Teknautas, Sports, Culture, and Lifestyle.

Readers can explore insightful pieces from our top contributors in the Opinion section and delve into intriguing content regarding Famous personalities and Royal Houses through Vanitatis.

Our most innovative offerings are also featured in the new app. Users can enjoy our Multimedia content, which includes video reports, photo galleries, and infographics, alongside our unique Narrative Formats and top-tier Data Journalism. Follow all updates on @ECLaboratorio.

By subscribing within the app, users gain full access to all El Confidencial content, both in the app itself and on the website. There’s an option to save two months by opting for the annual fee of 89 euros or to subscribe for 0.99 euros during the first month. With the subscription, readers unlock exclusive articles, analyses, and opinions from one of Spain's leading digital native media outlets.

A Premium News Experience That Curates Quality Journalism for the Discerning Reader

From the moment I launched the redesigned El Confidencial app, I was struck by its sophisticated approach to digital news—transforming the overwhelming flood of information into a streamlined, intellectually engaging experience. As someone who values depth over sensationalism, this app delivers exceptional curation, balancing breaking news with investigative rigor across sections like Cotizalia’s financial insights and Teknautas’ tech analysis. 

The customizable front page became my personal command center, prioritizing Spain’s political developments and Vanitatis’ cultural commentary while filtering out noise. Offline reading proved invaluable during commutes, turning downtime into productive immersion in long-form narratives and data journalism. 

What truly sets El Confidencial apart is its multimedia integration—video reports and interactive infographics added layers to complex stories, while @ECLaboratorio’s innovative formats redefined how I engage with current events. The subscription unlocks El Confidencial’s full potential: ad-free access to razor-sharp opinion pieces and exclusive analyses that consistently offer fresh perspectives beyond mainstream headlines. This isn’t just a news aggregator; it’s an intellectual toolkit for understanding Spain and the world.

    It's quite embarrassing that I still see ads in the app even though I'm a subscriber. About some bugs: the app removes line breaks, making the text hard to read. Using a messaging-style input or a simple textarea would improve this. It would be great to view my comments directly in the app instead of having to go to the website. Even after receiving emails about new replies to my comments, I can't see them when I click the link on the page.

    It cannot be opened. We still cannot read you. It opens and closes immediately.

    It’s a bit frustrating. You save articles in the app under 'Your Saved News', but then can’t access them on the website. There’s no section to view saved news in your profile online. However, on the website, you can click on 'My Comments' and easily see all your comments. Switch to the app, and that option disappears. The inconsistency between the app and the website creates confusion and makes it uncomfortable to switch devices.

    Después de tanto tiempo, decidí reinstalar la aplicación. La emoción duró poco. Se sigue cerrando sola. Es frustrante. Intenté todo lo que pude. Actualicé mi dispositivo. Reinicié. Pero nada cambia. Al final, siento que no hay solución.

    What a disaster! Even though I have a subscription, I can't access the paid content. I need to go through the website for that.
