Investors Chronicle App for Android
Didnt install from IC email link so got it from PlayStore. Without the promised link to the etf supplement. Shoddy piece of work generally.
It is not suitable for a tablet, gives very little information, and there are much better options available.
The target audience is Jo Public. There is no integration with a subscriber's account data on the internet site.
Content of app is minimal. Would be vastly improved simply by giving access to the articles I already pay to subscribe to.
Only fills a third of my tablet screen.

Watch list okay but can't load a portfolio. Limited linkage to articles. Crashes a lot.
Minimal content and no link to articles. Uninstalled.

Removed after 2 mins frustration
Pretty much useless.
Impossible to navigate. Thin content. Graphs difficult to read or obviously wrong. FT group should he embarrassed by this woeful app and it's not even that new.
No good but will keep an eye out for a redesign
Use your browser instead to visit the website this offers less functionality in a more confusing and harder to use way and looks like it was written as a demo!
Poor. No apparent way to read regular columns in the magazine. Only use is for stock monitoring. Waste of time if you want to read the articles...
Like investors chronicles customer service. Absolutely useless.
Just keeps crashing when trying to register
Nt useful at all

Awful app. Full of bugs and extremely limited features.
Very poor functionality on my s5 only a lite version and no full version. What were the ft thinking of
Having worked for the Pearson group and witnessed the level of quality they put into all their publications (digital or otherwise), I was extremely disappointed with this app. It hangs all the time and the user experience is awful!
Uses about quarter of screen on 7 in tablet. No settings. Has potential but not needs a lot of work to compete. Disappointed as it is not usable at present.
I'm a print and digital subscriber and this looks like a university project (and not even a good one). Sort it out IC!

No magazine content.
I could write a long review but I'm not going to waste my time. The app has so many faults it is not worthy of a spot on my phone. Considering that the I.C. is an all round excellent publication with some fantastic writers contributing week in week out, I find it amazing that this app has been released. More like in alpha testing than the finished product.
Why on earth does this app not sync with the website portfolios? The only thing this offers that a million other portfolio tracking apps don't is integration with IC analysis, but if you're going to force me to reenter my entire portfolio... Having said all that, at least the most recent IC view is in there, i assume for subscribers only.
I can't give this app a star it is is so bad. What I find incredible is how the FT can publish something so bad, particularly when the FT app is so good!!!
Unfortunately there is not an option to award half a star
this is utterly dire... why put something out in this state? better not to have it

Not difficult to create an app that downloads the website info. Or downloads the latest publication after sign in. Or even looks slightly aesthetically pleasing. Truth is this doesnt cover any of the above. Sort it out IC.
IC should have known better than to put this app into the market place as it is clearly a beta...it does not retain custom stock lists, navigation is confusing, there is no ability to stay logged in...must try harder
1. App not retaining Watchlist. Watchlist empty on returning to app after exit. 2. Uninstalled then reinstalled. The Watchlist has remembered just one of a list. 3. As previously noted by a reviewer, articles are linked to the home page. 4. I might be wrong but seems there is no facility to sort the companies in the Watchlist. Potentially looking good so the quicker the fix the quicker the rating may be upgraded.
Not bad first attempt. Would be nice if articles didn't just linked to the IC home page and my stock list didn't need to be entered separately to the website.
Sorry earlier review was for a different app, posted to the wrong place Investors chronicle app looks awesome having tried it. But it does not cover the width of the Galaxy screen, can you fix this please.
