See title, my only critique of the app.
Essential reading
Quality journalism, brilliant and diverting Weekend Edition, fast App.
Wide view of the market
Excellent publication, with wide and varied opinions. I find a very insightful.
The World’s Greatest Newspaper
Unmatched.
Simply the best

RIP off after introduction
As above
An app that actually downloads its content for offline use
Content in the FT is good. But that’s not the app. The main distinctive feature of the app I like is that it actually updates and downloads current content to your device so it can be read offline. That barely seems to ever work with most other news apps these days.
Pointless
The FT has become nothing more than a left wing establishment propaganda machine. Very sad for a once great a trusted source.
National treasure
No better newspaper on the planet
Pop up adds
I find the pop-up adds so offensive that I probably will not renew my subscription
Good Journalism, mostly mid/bad takes in the opinion section
Overall the FT impresses with a very well written and informative articles covering topics almost all topics related to economics and politics. I remember reading a fascinating piece about the relationship between the rise of Apple and China. But the Opinion section is a mix of Thatcherite and Blairte Neoliberalism with a cultish reverence for the financial sector and capitalism with little regard for worker interests. But they are Pro-EU so you can forgive them. Overall it feels a bit like having a lecture by a very educated but right wing economics professor.

The worst news source, except for all the others
Relatively unbiased, very good source for international/global news.
Devs didn’t think through offline reading
You get prompts clearly saying ‘the article is ready for offline viewing’, but there’s one fatal flaw: the app doesn’t launch without internet.
It stays at the splash/loading screen if you don’t have internet, which completely defeats the purpose of offline reading.
It’s pretty shocking the devs didn’t
1. think this through
2. bother to test this

Worse than it used to be. Keeps locking up.
The basic functionality is ok but at some point recently they pumped up the advertising side. Now it won’t start without a validated connection, which wrecks the point of a MOBILE app where people are intermittently connected. Also, I’m convinced that the switch to videos for advertising has made it more brittle because I’m seeing more crashes and resets. (And I’m less likely to look at the hook from a video than a static image). All in all, a bit of an own goal.

Key part of my day
Great opinion pieces
Difficult to Cancel Subscription
For whatever reason, FT will not cancel my subscription. I don't want the subscription anymore. I thought I cancelled it months ago, but they renewed it anyways even though their payment processor, PayPal, no longer a valid payment method on my account. I contacted FT and PayPal within minutes of them sending me an email about the subscription renewing and heard nothing back. I got in touch with a human at PayPal after they sent me some notifications about this and they said they'd take care of this. I'm still getting messages about this issue. This whole situation is ridiculous and way more complicated than it needs to be. I will not use either company again.

Terrible app
This app is run by the same kind of morons that write their content.
Whichever idiot is employed to run this app needs to be fired.
Stop sending me the same news alert for months on end. It is clearly not news that FTSE indices will now include shares priced in other currencies.
Still doing this as of 27 June.
Still doing this as of 20 June.

Still doing this as of 6 June 2026.
Still doing this as of 30 May 2026.
Still doing this as of 24 May 2026.
The FT is run by utter halfwits.

Good but was better before
Probably the best of the newspaper apps I use but I preferred it when you could select subjects - regular columns, companies etc - and you'd get notified at the top of the home page if any new stories about them had been uploaded. Not sure why they made it harder to tailor the reading experience to individual interests.
