Alastair Somerville#FTEdit app closure - asked FT and cancelling Apple subscription then going to FT to register a new account and then subscribe to Edit package (amongst mix of other FT news offers) is the customer path.
It’s a bit shit. FT Edit was clean simple product delivered well on iPhone.
#FTEdit app is stopping. Subscribed thru Apple. As far as I can tell I need to cancel that subscription, download FT app and resubscribe directly.
I can see unsubscribing but resubscribing looks like needless hassle.
FT Edit did a simple thing well.

Taking a wider view, I’d hoped Post might’ve progressed further by now. Micropayments for access to journalism, single article reads, is a great idea. It’s not that I don’t care for paywalled content, it’s that I’d be shelling out for access to so many publications I’d never get the value from each. Hence #FTedit works for me (& my local library network subscriptions).
Most of the ‘addressable’ audience want their social media easy. I’ve always thought specialist interests should use any & all SM platforms but use them as a hook/signpost to pull folks aside, directing them to their home space.

Propagated by American rightwing media, it’s a conspiracy theory that’s taking hold. Deep dive tomorrow on #ftedit. FREE to read. Download here: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/ft-edit/id1574510369
