User Reviews

Reviews praise FAZ’s high-quality journalism and perceived impartiality. However, the Android app is widely criticized for instability (crashes), slowness (long loads), intrusive advertising, paywall/content gating (F+ issues), and degraded functionality (comments removal, lack of offline saving, unread filtering). These recurring issues span multiple reviews, suggesting a need for stability fixes, UI/UX improvements, and clearer handling of paid content to improve user experience.

Pros

High-quality, serious journalism and well-written articles.
Perceived unbiased/balanced reporting by some users.
Dark mode support is available.
Generally pleasant app experience for some users.

Cons

Frequent crashes and instability (crashes during scrolling and unresponsive behavior).
Very slow performance and long loading times (endless loading, delays, slow Merkzettel).
Intrusive ads and banners disrupt reading (text shifting, end-of-article ads).
Paywall gating and difficulty with FAZ+ content (F+ articles shown/not shown, subscription confusion).
Reduced functionality and bugs (comments removal/limitation, no unread filter, inability to save articles offline, limited reading/listening features).

Recent reviews

Ich schätze ich den seriösen Journalismus made in Germany. Leider gibt es immer wieder hiccups mit der App. Seit dem jüngsten Update (02/26) häufen sich die Abstürze. Die Merkliste ist nicht mehr benutzbar, da sie bei den Abstürzen der App einfach gelöscht wird und ihre Benutzung auch selber die App zum Absturz bringt. Seit Neuestem gibt es nun auch noch eine paywall hinter der paywall. Faz+ ist nicht mehr gut genug. Für den vollen Zugang benötigt man nun Faz Premium .

Thank you for your fight for freedom of speech and journalistic expression.

Die Übersicht der Rubriken ist auf meinem Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE (ein gängiges Modell, Android 16) regelmäßig fehlerhaft und unlesbar. Das ist mit Preis und Anspruch der F.A.Z. eigentlich unvereinbar. Außerdem wird das Scrollen durch die dynamischen Werbeeinblendungen bisweilen zu Qual. Ich überlege deshalb, mein FAZ+ Abo zu kündigen.
