need to fix text audio player. resume is crashing the UI
Moderators are not impartial, they give priority some comments, and they do not for others. This allows manipulation.. Not reliable.
insane, you write a comment that disagrees with an article and it needs to be moderated.
very good app to use
financial news ke liye best hai
Quality and timely. Non political which is nice
Easily the best newspaper app. Functionally this app works well and aesthetically it's the ultimate. Journalism is second to none and happily neglects the dross we don't need to know in favour of the quality detail we do. Compared to the few broadsheet newspaper apps in the UK, although their Journalism is almost equal the apps are dire.
Worth it
brilliant app
It is almost 2027 and you do not have a dark mode. Seriously, catch up with the norm for as much as you charge.
excellent paper
A good resource overshadowed and let down by biased reporting. Fact checks required because many of the journalists working for this brand are aligned to the political left ✔️
The FT widget is broken since the most recent update i did. i had a whole page with the widget that was showing me all important headlines including subheadlines. now, even though the widget is full screen, black and it only shows 2 lines and is horribly formatted. Bring the old widget back!!! This happens when you rewrite a beautiful feature with horrible AI! Edit: also since the latest update, the app keeps crashing when you have voice reading activated and switch to another app.
Great app, appreciate the offline feature. The next steps would be to be able to queue articles for listening and to able to download the article for offline listening.
There's a problem with ads in this app. whenever the network is choppy (e.g. when travelling on a train), ads resize, causing your position in an article to jump back and forth, as they expand or contract and push the text around. This makes reading impossible! I raised this with support and sent them a video, but they were unable to fix this despite several attempts. Otherwise everything works fine.
Since a few weeks the articles jump constantly up and down on android, making reading very annoying. I believe this is due to ads resizing or simar, pls fix asap!
nice app. works really well and you can access crosswords from the paper too. you can also look at markets, save articles, and sign up to newsletters so as far as news apps go, it does a lot!
20 Oct 2026, 4 star: The FT Widget displays FULL article titles again. Thank you for the good decision to do it. However, the atypical font diverts from the ones intuitively associated with the FT. The innovation is quietly telling us of upcoming changes to the paper's presentation/typography. 17 Sep 2026, 3 star: Great app until now. The Top Stories widget used to show readable titles. But now it is showing only THE FIRST 4 WORDS OF AN ARTICLE TITLE.
best app I have ever seen of news
crosswords don't always work
Easy to use, very informative and helpful. Great selection of news and media and can be regional as much as it is worldly. Great articles and great staff
superb experience
Gives the best offline experience of any news app, downloading in the background. Expensive though.
Audio functionality is superior to Wall Street Journal and New York times which suck in comparison
Great news source, badly manageable app
My love for the Best Teachers Mashallah
Great factual journalism
Sometimes I have to manually refresh to show latest news rather than what I was looking at the last time I was using it. Otherwise good app.
yh🥅🥌🎨qudhu😁u huuu uuuj😁😁rrrtah
pretty great ... could do with a little revamp better formatting and picture resolution and so forth but over all it's good.
It is wonderful.
It's impossible to swipe back from news and exit the app. Extremely amateur.
Best news app I've used. Slick & easy to use. Its caching is fast and effective. So I can read stuff even on the tube! And ofc the journalism is top notch. minor problems: - switching for protrait to landscape send me back to the previous article - using the back navigation when an image is zoomed takes you back to the previous article. not too the current article.
widget doesn't work after upgrading the app to latest version, it is squeezed and only showing 3 rows
if only I could afford the sub
great app, great newspaper
Normally ok app but now consistently crashes, makes content unreadable
Fast and easy
For news content and coverage, I would rate this app 4 Star, however for ease of use 1. it keeps dropping off while on Audio and there is no provision to create a queue of articles that you wish to hear.. very basic stuff. Great news team, poor technology team which needs immediate performance review based on reader feedback..
🇰🇪🙏Masterpiece articles enlightening ill sugest in future most read revered quoted researched copied and pasted shared linked viewed articles like Youtube views be paid to Financial Times this will reduce subscriptions and trendings article will reach millions verified accaunt holders and affordable subscription
why can't we enlarge photos and graphs or any image in the articles? Or tap on and send them individually.
that's
What happened to the widget? I accidentally deleted and re-downloaded the app, so had to add back the widget and now it's HIDEOUS. Just scrolling white text on a black background instead of split into articles + descriptions. Looks worse than AP. You guys know the widget for people who use it is a big part of the reading experience and is basically the digital version of how you'd show up in a newsstand, right? It's such a turnoff, looks cheap and uninspired now. Please fix ASAP.
usually satisfactory but recent update makes the in screen widget unable you fill the resized frame. it always displays a fraction off the intended area
when scrolling the loading of adverts and images keeps making the text float around - making it very difficult to read
👍 👍 👍
hopeless that they don't have an ft edit tab on the android app
THE BEST
Good direct stories on vital issues.
great content poor UI
nothing is perfect but close to be one
No dark mode... in 2026 😵
Very solid content. Pls fix the dark mode, used very frequently
The articles are great. I had a problem with the app always forcing me to login, almost every time I opened it, but it seems that it's now working properly.
Super app. FT really provides in depth more or less neutral coverage. Although focused on finance, it also provides coverage on other topics.
Great app on general, but it does have an snnoying habit of occasionally stuttering to the point of having to restart it.
Good information, excellent articles on a good variety of subjects, not just financial.
Giving 3 stars as I am forced to login to the app every single time, even if it's 5 minutes after logging in and closing the app. Beats the purpose of having a mobile app.
The ft app as of aug 2026 has been draining my battery even when not opened.
clumsy app, journalism is ok but far below what it once was. Many articles are opinion pieces. I miss the days when the FT provided information and believed its readers could form their own opinions.
generally a go good experience
The only missing feature is a dark mode. Otherwise this works well and is a good way to access the paper.
Multifunctional and useful great support, fast News. Great platform.
Thank you
Superior writing on timely issues.
Add FT Edit as a menu option on Android... it's already on IOS...
Search function is rubbish. And when you try to read an article for premium subscribers (I'm not), it just seems to take you to a screen stating comments not enabled... I wish the FT would somehow mark PS articles
Financial times is an amazing News App it gives me the best of all my favorite articles
great way to keep updated
good.
read often
😁
I got a subscription with Revolut Metal and Iove it. One of the few genuinely well-designed, beautiful news apps. Plus the audio articles are amazing. Thanks team FT!
The app asks me for sign on so often it is annoying. It also does not like my email address. Works well otherwise. Quality of the articles have improved since 2023-4 .
Truly excellent. Both the content and the app itself
Excellent content, the best UK newspaper. These days, I can't justify the cost of a full subscription so I have FT Edit, which gives a well chosen selection of articles at a very reasonable price. This is great on Apple devices as it has its own section, formerly a separate app, but this isn't available on other platforms which makes finding the relevant articles less smooth - hence only 4 stars.
just the First FT newsletter every morning is worth the subscription. The amazingly rich and balanced content is about half of my daily news intake.
Hard core Global newspaper. If you want to develop a perspective on issues that matter especially in finance, Geo-strategy, sustainability, etc. then this is your go to newspaper.
Animated ads in the middle of the text I try to read is just unacceptable. Especially for this price.
highest quality writing from any news source I've used. The standard price seems steep, but you definitely get what you pay for
works perfectly fine
great app great graphic style
great content but app will not stay logged in
Most the time good sometimes different views and cant play audio!
keep having to sign in everytime I open the app
Great coverage and editorial.
Exceptional!
News i can trust
intuitive app to use
GREAT.
great app and content
Would be good to have same functions as on desktop
cool
amazeballs and well profesh
annoying pop ups, explosive bursts of audio without warning, overall very intrusive and annoying
Trusted comment delivered in an easy to use app.
listen to article feature is always buggy you lock and unlock device.
The app keeps opening in the browser even though the settings say open in app
Great News Collection at a glance
best news app ever
outstanding news in a usable app
excellent
great English language journalism
better to believe
The comments are frequently better than the articles. On paper you don't get to see them. Update: I am still using the app. It's still good. Still here, two years later. Hard to beat.
Much better than WaPo or NYT, more thinking and analysis, even for USA.
good app. doesn't really break. AI narration is solid. wish there was more real human narration but it works. good articles and the app is solid. recommend.
the best paper and beautiful to read
Great app, best newspaper!
Am I the only person who has troubles with podcasts in this app?
App runs good. Well designed pages, text, and very readable.
excellent writing.
worth it
clean and simple. fast.
Excellent articles very intuitive insights
One of my favorite daily reads. A worthy, reliable and trusted information source.
update june 2026: still Keeps crashing
excellent
good
after paying subscription I was still restricted from opening every article. terrible
Biased
It works, rarely crashes, nice widget. UPDATE eight years later. When reading via VPN, it helps avoid being blocked by CloudFlare.
Love the FT. Never read the paper edition, did can't compare. It makes it easy to browse and skim headlines
It just works.
app is ok. widget keeps crashing though on android
very good
It works fine for me. I like that - unlike other news apps - if you leave an article and come back later, you'll still be in the same place instead of at the start of a drm loop.
FT on Pixel is robust, but too expensive to unlock
Facts, figures, and quality journalism.
Why doesn't the FT offer a dedicated Android app for the FT EDIT subscription like it does for iOS? The full FT Android app is not fit for this purpose whatsoever.
provide very nice
good
Had some issues with the app but they've since fixed it.
Easy to use, operates smoothly and efficiently.
superb
would like to get access to more content.
Great. Podcast features could be a little better.
best news site going.
Excellent content, well written & handy portfolio tracker
easy interface. great journalism
clean and easy to the eye
Best app for news and analysis of current affairs and global trends.
crossword is great. rest is paywalled :)
Happy I subscribed. Excellent reporting and terrific app experience.
good app, better content
great experience reading financial times on the App
Can't adjust the background colour, but apart from that it's fine
Useful. But only subscription open all features. Money oriented.
revealing the truth
I got this app to enjoy the FT edit micro subscription. Apart from not having easy nav to those articles, the app does well.
more portfolio tools in app would be golden
Great
brilliant
Pretty decent news app.
Nice app, Great reads
good i have a focused
best
would like it a lot more if I could read FT Edit in the app....otherwise works as expected
This is the best news app I have tried so far. Great and simple layout. Does what it's supposed to do without any bloat. Doesn't send you any advertisements. Non-sensationalist headlines and informative content. Of course you do need a subscription for the FT. Very happy with the overall experience.
The main page doesn't refresh on it's own when you open the app and even after selecting the topics, still shows local news and not much on the world view
The best newspaper in the world
please make the navbar transparent, and add a themed icon. the app looks very dated
Pretty good. Occasional glitches with the comments section when wouldn't take comments.This was resolved after uninstalling and re-installing the App.
Can't get the articles I want to read. It always shows the sane article. Why?
Real time update...
informative and well laid out
Heavily edited for comments no freedom of views. Commented on a poorly written article which was misleading. Rather than correct the story, they turn off comments. cancelled the subscription.
Best daily source of news. Shame it is so expensive.
Great app. All the FT essentials on one place.
bugs since last update. pages often blank
All good.
top news from a business angle. can be biased towards the views of free market capitalism but their news is generally fact and data based which makes it ca real reflection of the world when compared with the times, telegraph and gbeebies
can't show ftedit subscriptions
The best.
I just love it
Well organized content
had a few glitches but overall it is a good app. There are no excuses for the lack of a dark theme. Reading news in the evening on a white themed app is not OK. This is something that can be done in a couple of days tops with testing, now in the era of AI coding.
A functional clear app that allows access to your preferred content areas. All back by the FT's excellent journalism.
Great content, great app.
High Quality
they just want money...
No nonsense
Often will not scroll on opening, necessitating a restart of the app.
Financial acumen advisory
portfolio does not work.
very nice
App is smooth and does what you expect.
A disappointing effort from a premium publication. The app presents FT content in a phone-friendly swipeable format, but peppers it with advertisements (often animated) even for those paying £100s to subscribe. When a user hits an article which is not included in their subscription, the app no longer allows them simply to move on; instead a pop-up has to be dismissed, with no way to move straight to the next article. Now uninstalled, for me reading in a browser works better.
Always reliable
peak journalism fr
Good UI, but search function is finicky and difficult to use to find older articles
Extensive business and financial coverage and well constructed commentaries by perceptive journalists and guest contributors
The only sub I have. Still quality journalism.
Great journalism. Confusing pair of apps.
Great source for quality information.
great detailed analysis of markets and world events
It's fine - as expected
Wish I could afford the digital subscription but the free updates are great!
Brilliant reporting and accurate real time journalism.
