The FT.com website and app now reach an audience of over 22 million people each month and provide a constant flow of trusted news, analysis and data. While access to FT commentary as news breaks is crucial, particularly in a work scenario, readers often comment on the quiet joy they find in also opening the Financial Times newspaper for its highly curated view of what FT editors think matter most on a given day.
Although it’s not always practical or possible to pick up a copy of the physical paper, FT Professional subscribers can now conveniently enjoy the experience of reading the Financial Times on phones and tablets. The FT Digital Edition is available as an Android and iOS app, and provides a digital replica of the Financial Times newspaper that’s optimised for easy reading on any device.
Download the app and read on to learn more about the key features that make The Digital Edition an enjoyable and handy tool for reading the FT newspaper wherever you are.
