The FT web app
for iPad and iPhone
The FT web app, which is optimised for use on iPad and iPhone, is available via your Safari browser at app.ft.com rather than from an app store.
The web app is our most complete app to date and we regularly add new features and sections to it. These are available instantly, without the need to download a new version. Recent additions include 'clippings' for iPad, allowing you to save articles for later reading, and enhanced graphics.
The web app replaces our apps that were available in the App Store.
Go to app.ft.com on your iPad or iPhone
A better, faster app
Using the app has a number of benefits:
- Web browser access – No app store download needed
- Automatic enhancements – No need to visit an app store
for the latest version
- Reading offline – The latest edition is automatically stored
for offline access
- Speed – Improved performance on most connections
- Greater range of content – Including video on iPhone
- Use your existing account
Getting the FT web app
Simply type app.ft.com into the Safari browser on your iPad or iPhone to access the web app.
Add the app to your home screen
Just follow the instructions when you first go to the app. We encourage you to do this so you can enjoy full access to the app when you are offline.
Use your existing account
As you would expect, the web app is fully integrated into your digital subscription so you can use your existing username and password to access the app. If you don't have an account, open one now.
Optimised for your iPad and iPhone
The app is optimised to best fit the screen size of the device you are using. So when viewing on iPhone you will see a slightly different navigation in order to provide access to the full breadth of FT content - including video - on a small screen. *
Not on iPad or iPhone?
We'll soon be making the FT app available on a range of other phones and devices. In the meantime you can access the FT on the move with our other mobile products and services, such as our mobile website or Android app.
FAQs
For more details on using the app, please refer to our 'Frequently Asked Questions'.
*Please note the FT app is optimised for the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4. For the best service on older models (3G and below) use our mobile website at m.ft.com.
