Substack

Not worth the trouble. Since this app was first introduced, it's gone from bad to worse. It doesn't update activity reliable, and posts I've already read remain as unread for days. As often as not, the list of Notes cycles through the same 4 or 5 notes repeatedly, instead of continuing down the list. It regularly recommends new writers to me that write on subjects that are practically the antithesis of the stuff I tend to read, and it's not possible to edit a comment like you can in the browser.

Does most of what I need, but doesn't always work as intended. For example, when I send out a test version of a newsletter, I get a notification via the app saying I can read it there. This function has never worked. Additionally, not being able to edit newsletters from the app is super unhelpful. Overall, both the app and the web version could be more user friendly. The taxonomy needs a lot of work. Aside from that, I like the app and the Substack platform.

There are many functionality issues with this app from crashes to drafts not syncing between it and the PC as well as very few features. However, not even being able to log in or get the app to send an email to let me unlock it after it randomly logged me out takes the cake. What is even the point? If you wanted to be desktop only you should've just stayed that way.

Man, this app really does it for me. I love the articles, the short posts, the longer thought pieces, the memes are fresh and off the press, the opinions are loud and educated, and the timing is just right for this day and age. I can curate the things I want to see and read about, while also learning about things I never thought to read up on! Please get this app if you like learning! Its worth it!

This is set up to send either emails or push notifications for each individual sub you subscribe to. I don't want either of those. I cannot stand being inundated by notifications, and I have plenty else cluttering my email without adding a ton more from just one app. Sad because it seems like there is some really good stuff on here, but I'll never read any of it now.
