Work as expected. I can download news and read them later in the area of bad signal.

Ikbal Kaya

App is good overall. The reason for 3 stars is, the app will keep crashing and crashing in the background. I wonder why a newspaper app should run services in background

Charles Pangrazi

Not the smoothest interface.

Alexander Amante

It requires you for a subcription

Recent update has resolved past issues. Thank you. Below was previous feedback. There's a bug which does not allow to see the content even if a premium subscriber. This is something of late, as previous versions didn't have this problem. Bring back the old app

Juhani Naskali July 17, 2017

My main source for news. Financial Times has great content and the app works fine, but the UI could be cleaner and a bit more usable. Nothing major, but there's room for improvement.

Stephen Hendrickson July 13, 2017

In general, I prefer the FT to the WSJ but the WSJ app does a better job of organizing their content, downloading offline, and provides a dark background option. While I understand desire to keep the iconic pink as background, the FT app needs to up its game so the reader can easily access all of the excellent content.

July 6, 2017

Latest update in July 2017 has ruined the app for Samsung Galaxy S7 users. Can't load or read any articles. Please fix it ASAP.

James Seymour July 10, 2017

Not only slow loading, but when it finally does "load," what appears is an old version of news; one must refresh. Otherwise great.

Sally Scrivener July 6, 2017

Latest update (July 5) has made it impossible to view content on the app without it redirecting me to the website.

H B July 16, 2017

CONSTANTLY forgets my settings and disables Offline Stories and Offline Images - search feature quite bad, and looking up stocks and securities is poorly implemented - unabme to dig up legacy articles from 2 weeks ago or older despite Premium Membership

Abul Choudhury July 6, 2017

Very poor, doesn't download following recent update and hasn't allowed offline reading for months.

Max Boyack July 20, 2017

If it's not in the FT do I really need to know about it!

Shagor Rahman July 12, 2017

Overall great interface. Understandably discreet with content, which makes sharing articles less than ideal. Otherwise, great experience, especially the widget

James Burns July 7, 2017

Unable to read anything.

Amman B July 18, 2017

Would be 5 stars if you could customize the widget. Would really like the widget to filter market news only for instance.

Tess Tseng July 11, 2017

It looks great on my note 5 and oneplus so I've got no complaints there

Beatrice Kilroy-Nolan July 11, 2017

Great app but not keen on the recent changes to the front page.

xanyar kamangar July 9, 2017

Constantly crashes on Samsung S8

July 10, 2017

Most reliable app I've downloaded. It never crashes, and the readability of the layout is great.

neilao mezhatsu July 7, 2017

Simply useless, paid news.....

July 14, 2017

Please add back progress bars

July 14, 2017

Very well done app - easier to read than the actual website!

Peter Ramsay July 14, 2017

Slow to open.

Andrzej L July 19, 2017

Good source of information the only downside is that it is loading very slowly

Allen Bourne July 15, 2017

Nice app, but not as much news as WSJ

July 18, 2017

Great - should be funded by government for free access.

July 16, 2017

Great app, great paper!

karan kasat July 12, 2017

Good relevant real content

Niall Tippett July 19, 2017

Markus Block June 21, 2017

I cannot und erstand complaints about the slowness of the app. It works fast, smooth and fluent for me. Yes, syncing new articles might take a bit longer than usual bit the quality and amount of articles is well worth the short wait. Works great on my super old Galaxy S3 LTE on Android 7.1.2

Oliver Lewin June 13, 2017

Not much changed on this latest version. Still feels heavy and slow. Won't start up completely this morning - simpler to use the website on your phone. Together with the problems with markets live, there's the aura that the ft does not have a grip on its IT.

Hugh Pemberton June 19, 2017

The FT journalism is always outstandingly good. But the app moves in cycles from good to bad. A few months ago, after a major update, it was diabolical but it is now improving (on my Samsung Galaxy Pro Tab 10.1 2014 edition). However, continuing (and longstanding) irritants are: endless animated adverts (almost all the FT's own); poor injection of adverts between news pages; runs in "live" mode even when set to display the morning edition; persistently poor user support (which amounts to no more than telling you to delete the cache, uninstall the app and reinstall and then, when that doesn't work ... nothing).

austin ligon July 5, 2017

Best international news source. Global, balanced, non-ideological. The absolute best for insightful economic & political perspective on U.S. If I could only read ONE news source, it would be the FT. App is VERY well organized, easy to scan & use, fast.... much better than most other newspapers.

ZY Lim June 16, 2017

Very laggy on Nexus 6P - disappointing for a 2017 app. It's just a newspaper, why is the performance so poor?

Ana Latuff June 19, 2017

The app only shows the headlines, no any free articles to read. If you haven't got a paid subscription there is no point on keeping an app that only takes space in your phone

Joseph Spooner June 27, 2017

Excellent writing as ever. App could include more stories on homepage - always seems to take quite a while to search around the app. Once issue downloaded the offline reading experience is great. Article layout also works very well.

Robin Lenoir July 15, 2017

I love FT. App works great. Offline reading is great. MyFT could be improved, but that works for the site as well. The Opinion section could be organized better as well. I much prefer use the app than Newsstand because it seems that the range of writings is wider here, strangely.
