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.

love the app and wish it stays this way with no reels type feature or excessive ads and AI pushed on you . I feel like theres a genuine connection between you and others. this is what social media is supposed to be. however, I've had a problem that I find quite annoying. I can't seem to upload posts or notes or even write comments on notes using the app.. however I can do so on the browser version. if you can fix this definitely would give 5☆

Terrible for writers! DO NOT write in the app. It will NOT be saved or recoverable! Got this app because I'm a blogger. I'm down a computer rn and am looking for a monetized platform for blogging through an app. Guess I'll have to KEEP looking! This app is NOT like the Substack Website! If you are a writer, avoid the app at all costs! It has no button in the app for finding your drafts or editing them!! This is strictly a reading app but if you look for a Substack Writer app, there isn't one!
