### 1/5 — Can’t sign into app with my Google account

*2025-04-27, version 1.0.88*

My FT account has always been sign in with Google. Decided to get the app and actually subscribe to FT Edit. You know, give them money….? But, unlike the website, there’s no option to sign in with Google. So frankly it gets too inconvenient. So I’ll keep my money in my pocket. Thanks.

### 5/5 — A joy on my commute

*2025-03-30, version 1.0.87*

This app is essential reading and often the highlight of my morning. It wouldn’t do as a substitute if I needed the FT for work (and I sometimes supplement it with the FT Weekend) but for my needs it is perfect. Particularly great to have Jay Rayner every weekend now. Bravo to the editors.

### 3/5 — Cool Concept, Solid App, Biased Writers

*2025-03-26*

Remember when you read The Economist, FT, and the WSJ for business news? Now, sifting through the implicit and explicit biased against anything Trump is exhausting. Short on details, context, or facts, nearly everything American is off and anything Trump is evil. Hopefully FT will return to objective business-centered journalism one day soon. For now, $5 is the most I’d pay to learn from peers across the pond.

### 4/5 — Great app but

*2025-03-20*

Why is it forcing me to use landscape mode on my iPad? No other app for reading I have used makes me change how I’m holding it! Please add portrait mode.

### 1/5 — No landscape orientation for iPad.

*2025-03-11*

It makes zero sense to me why there is no landscape orientation for the app on iPad. It's an app for reading articles, but you can't use it in the normal reading orientation? The normal FT app supports landscape just fine, so there is no reason this shouldn't either.

### 5/5 — Drunkonmics

*2025-03-08, version 1.0.86*

Insightful

### 5/5 — Awesome value

*2025-03-04, version 1.0.86*

Fantastic daily view of the world.

### 1/5 — No portrait orientation for iPad?

*2025-02-05*

The iPad app only works in landscape orientation, which is not as convenient for reading. What's worse, the normal FT app DOES support both orientations.

### 5/5 — Good value and succinct

*2025-01-30, version 1.0.85*

Really fine research and succinct well written material easily read or saved daily for catch up. Topical of course with wide coverage. Very good value for money

### 4/5 — Great app, good stories, one recommendation

*2025-01-12*

The app itself is great, just enough to read as to not get bombarded with stories. I would highly recommend bringing back dark mode… it is dearly missed.
