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.

Great Application! The layout is easy to use and understand. The articles are easy to read with the app. The downsides are (1) the ads, which really disrupt the reading experience and (2) a weird "downloading stories" notification even though I have that option turned off. Overall good app for FT.

Hi James, we're sorry you're having an issue with the downloads notification. We're aware of an issue that downloads are slower, so the progress bar is appearing for longer than it should. The developers are making a fix and it should be released in the next few days. If you have any other issues, please contact us at https://help.ft.com. Thanks
