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. - **4★ · September 5, 2025** — 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. - **2★ · December 3, 2024** — 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. ## About Substack is a new media app that connects you with the creators, ideas, and communities you care about most. + Support the creators you love: Subscribe for free or upgrade to view original work and connect directly with your favorite writers, artists, and podcasters. + Enjoy ad-free videos and podcasts: Access short-form clips, video episodes, and read-aloud articles without interruptions. + Connect in real time: Join livestreams and live group chats, where top creators bring their biggest supporters into their world. + Explore independent ideas: Discover bold opinions and engaging views across food, sports, politics, fashion, comedy, finance, and more.
