FT Digital Edition

The paper is formatted well…..when it actually works, which about half the time.

At least with the old Epaper, I could access my account. Since they launch this digital edition app, my account tells me I don’t have a subscription even though I do have one and it has some time before it expires. I have tried the online chat and that was a waste of time. Have sent an email to customer service and no response. Very disappointed in the financial times.

I can’t thank you enough for removing that pesky ATT. Better yet letting us know that you did. And silly me, I was waiting for new features but the ATT had to go.

It took about 10 years too long but finally an ePaper app that works from the FT!

This is a good way to keep up with business news without having to deal with the fiddly and cluttered FT app. It’s also fantastic to not have any readers’ comments, so that you can properly concentrate on the actual story. And it’s good value for the price - in fact it’s such good value that I’m a bit suspicious that there will either be a price hike or this app will get binned! So enjoy it while it lasts! :) Feature request for the devs - please add a white-on-black “dark mode” for reading articles. Please also fix the rendering of some hyphens which get lost when reading articles.

Hiding these black bars on the top and the bottom would be really nice feature

As a reviewer has mentioned before, this app is PressReader under the hood. Unfortunately, the experience in this app is nowhere near as good as the actual PressReader app. Most egregiously, you cannot full screen the paper, so when zoomed in the bottom text is cut off and unreadable. I’m a huge fan of the FT’s coverage, but this digital edition needs an update to make it usable.

Positives: - clean interface and easy to use - set automated download of copy each day - different modes of viewing the “paper”, both useful - audio of articles is excellent as means you can consume whilst on the go or performing menial tasks Negatives: - disappointing there is not a 1.25x audio speed, 1x is slow and 1.5x too quick

The app idea is great and much needed, but it just doesn’t load the most recent days paper. If I open the app at 6am to find the days paper, it just isn’t there 9 times out of 10. It sometimes then appears if I force close the app and restart it repeatedly.

This is a white labelled version of the Pressreader app, and its nice to use, has a good image quality, and being able to open an article in a reader view is really nice. However, it seems to be impossible to view in full screen on my iPad mini (i.e. you can’t hide the ui by tapping on the page - the top and bottom bare is stuck on my screen permanently when reading). I think this is a bug because it works in the main Pressreader app, and the settings in this app reference full screen mode. Its a bit of an annoyance with the limited screen real estate on my iPad mini. The main Pressreader app also has page previews at the bottom of the UI, which is a really nice feature sadly missing from this app.
