This is a typical mediocre web app with poor Android integration. It's clunky, doesn't sync across devices, and works badly when network coverage is slow (since it's fundamentally a web app and doesn't cache things offline effectively); there is an offline mode, but it's buggy. That said, it's not a disaster relative to other apps of its type, and really the value is the content, not the crappy app.

Thanks for this feedback. The app should be syncing, if you can give us some more details we can investigate - please chat with us at help.ft.com or email help@ft.com. We're also working on improvements for offline. We're working pretty hard to get this right, please bear with us.

Pros: The color scheme is gentle on the eyes. Cons: I'm a subscriber but when I click on FT links shared with me, they will often open in a web window that says I must subscribe before I can access the article. Separately, the app also has a habit of logging me off inexplicably. Comments can be very slow to load. The search function seems to provide a random smattering of result instead of providing all applicable results for the search terms used.

Update (2/15/21): Still having blackout issues with the app. Love FT but not worth paying this much money for a simple glitch. :-( I am also experiencing the blacked out screen when I open the app. I have tried everything and it's happening about once every 3rd time I open it. Amazing news reporting and opinions. Love FT so much I actually saved to subscribe. It's not cheap! I really want premium but ouch $$$.
