FT Edit by the Financial Times

Brief and best

Not always the choice I’d have made, but the selected articles are nearly all of top quality - as one would expect of Britain’s best newspaper. The articles are very varied but of interest to a wide range of people, not those requiring detail of finance and business news. An inexpensive way of getting great journalism at much less cost than a full subscription to the paper.

I have read the FT edit for a year. I find it to be an education. I can not imagine starting the day without it now.

For those too busy to peruse the full FT, especially those with paper copies waiting on the doormat, every day, the FT Edit offers bite sized snippets

If the spoken version was read by real people - which the Economist does so well - this would so much better.

A good selection of articles for the introductory pricing. Unfortunately saved articles do not sync between devices. The best of the week selection at weekends is a good idea, but the ‘overheard in the newsroom’ article is unwelcome - please feature one piece of content per article so that it’s easy to comprehend.

Good articles to read with some ad free but not all are ad free via Apple News Standalone FT EDIT app from Apple App Store are Ad Free. My only quibble, a few more daily articles would be nice. Currently paying 6 month introductory offer price, therefor would be hard to justify the full subscription price on current quantities offered of daily articles.

Operational problems affect most apps and the FT Edit app is no exception. The most common solution is to delete the app and to reinstall. Indeed, this is the advice given by the FT help desk. Unfortunately, this process results in all user-saved articles being irretrievably lost. I reported this several months ago when it first happened to me and now it has happened again. I suspect that FT journalists would have plenty to say about any other company that ignores data recovery in this way!

Not always the choice I’d have made, but mostly quality. Had a problem of it freezing, but reinstallation put that right.

Is stuck on last Tuesday. Subscription valid and no obvious reasons for the failure unless it doesn’t like iOS 17.1.
