The Times and Sunday Times have just released an official Android app, which it calls The Times for Android – and use of it is completely FREE during the launch period. However, once this “limited” free preview window ends, you’ll have to pay for access to its content.
Unless, that is, you already have a paid subscription to the paywalled papers’ web sites, in which case the Android app will link to your account and still allow full access. Here it is, just now, looking very clean and pleasant, and even using the Times font for its menus:
Excellent news that this launched on Android simultaneously with the iPhone version. Well done, old media dinosaurs! You might save yourselves from obliteration yet. Get The Times for Android on the Android Market here.
