FT Edit by the Financial Times App Reviews

The articles in this application are digital copies from mostly recent articles published on FT Weekend, therefore subscription to this application should be free for paper subscribers. Paper subscribers already spend hundreds on their yearly subscription, having to pay extra for the same articles delivered differently seems unjust. But what really killed it is the recent inclusion of emoji on its push notifications, that is just annoying and makes it feel like low quality reporting, even if it

FT edit has achieved what few others have tried but failed: it made me like to read the news. The finite and high relative quality of the articles compared to its sister app has left me much more satisfied getting through my news supplement of the day. And I might add that it isn’t so much as news but analysis and deep form content, which is a very great value considering the monthly price for the app.

This app is fantastic, fitting both my time and budget. I’d love to take in the full FT, but that’s just a pipe dream given I already get the NYT and Washington Post daily and The Economist weekly. Now I can read a few FT stories each day for a price that matches my consumption. Still, there’s a little room for improvement. It’d be great to be able to “gift” articles, as other paywalled publications allow. I’d also like to be able to send the full text of articles to my read-it-later app, Reader

The perfect compliment to the wonderful FT coverage!

A focused set of articles means anything silly or trending toward click bait (less of an FT problem than other media) is non exist

Thank you. This was the missing piece of FT Edit!

I’m trying out the FT Edit because many of my friends have recommended the FT as a paper with relevant and interesting journalism. So far, I am enjoying the reporting. However, for some reason it takes far too long for the app to fetch the day’s stories, which I find frustrating. The Apple News app seems to fetch the most recent stories and will display them as published “4 hours ago” while the app will still have the stories from the previous day. If the developer can fix this I will be perfect

My only gripe is how difficult it is to share anything you read. FTEdit is only available on iPhone (and is required to read the share links). Not everyone has an iPhone and not everyone wants to have to download an app in order to read one 800 word essay.

I relish each word of the insightful Financial Times. Its new format is ideal for individuals constantly pressed for time, like myself. Additionally, the ability to share articles with friends enhances the experience. The app operates seamlessly, a testament to the developers' excellence. Well done to the team behind it!

Are trying to impress the impressionable. The articles that are selected here are the best “impact pieces” so tread carefully 😬

So the tagline for FT Edit is your Daily dose of expert news. Unfortunately, I think FT is confusing expert news with their opinion on the news or just plain soapboxing about their causes. For example, the 29 Mar edition included saving the world by going vegan. A previous day had a non-sequitur about conservatives ‘losing the war’ because to paraphrase, they won’t endorse left-wing social causes. I like the concept of FT Edit but the output doesn’t match and even with the lower trial price
