needs an email/app toggle. Really useful app, but it really needs an easy off switch for emails. I want to read a lot of people’s work but don’t want to have all those people’s works in my inbox. They’ll get buried under emails from people I need to hear from and contribute to the clutter of my inbox! Also, Apple’s stock mail app doesn’t do a great job of displaying the emails. Since this app works pretty well, I’d rather just read in the app. However, the only option that is close to a “turn off emails” option is “Get notified in app or email not both.” Which just seems vague and unhelpful. It seems to work like this: if I don’t see the latest from a writer in the app, I get the latest from the writer as an email in my inbox. If I do see the latest in the app then I don’t get the email in my inbox. I THINK THIS IS HOW IT WORKS. It is not clear! That said, having a nice, obvious, toggle switch that has the words “turn of emails” next to it would be super helpful for those of us who don’t want to get there inbox inundated with newsletters every day. Thanks!

There’s Finally an App!. I’m excited to see that Substack has an app now so that I can view all of the writers I’m subscribed to. Since I started with reading Glenn Greenwald’s substack, the site has been my go-to for journalism that I find trustworthy and worth reading. Individual people putting out their own content free of corporate pressure (at least that’s what it’s billed as). Having them all come through e-mail was fine generally but I enjoy the smooth movement into the app to see all of my subscriptions on one list instead of hunting for them in my email. I know it just started and will need to be updated so I fully realize the possibility of future issues with the app that will need correcting but nevertheless I’m glad to see that it’s been created.

good app; “read” tracking needs work. I use this app every day and find it useful. I like that the app keeps track of how much of each article I’ve read, but this functionality is glitchy in its current implementation— often, after finishing an article, I find that it has not been marked “read” and I have to go back into it and scroll all the way to the bottom and exit again to get it to show as “read”. (Yes, I am certain that I had scrolled all the way to the bottom the first time I read it.) And there have been a couple of very short articles that I was never able to get marked “read” no matter what I tried. I would also like to be able to delete (not just archive) individual posts. Thanks for your work!

Hang On!. After being swept up and away in a tsunami of graft and political corruption, bolstered by and cloaked in, a swirl of mind-clobbering cultural insanity, we in the hinterlands of America found an unexpected fingerhold to try and cling to rationality. There is apparently a froth of sanity perilously floating around the tumultuous surges of opaque floodwaters of lies and hysteria in our society. Like a snatched breath between dunkings, Substack may provide a glimmer of hope that the sun will shine again and that perhaps the final curtain won’t descend with a flash of retina-searing death from the skies brought on by our collective surrender to madness. In other words, I find Substack helpful and entertaining (esp the comments thereof)!

Sound Advice this week…. Once again, I agree and can totally relate to your 3/23 Substack words. I appreciate you showing the support from respected authors (King, Patterson) and yourself regarding book banning politicians. Also, I love the phrase “fundamentalist Borg” as a way to show how these politicians push their agendas. It’s no wonder America is devolving. I also appreciate you shedding light on the rise of hate related crimes in America. Thank you for your video break (as always) regarding good healthy positive feelings on camera for that little girl being adopted. It was terrific to see you highlight Beth Hart’s video (L.A. Song). I have been a fan of hers for many years and been lucky enough to have seen her live performances many times. She always puts 100% into her live performances. I recommend people try to see her play live or via the video Paradiso, or doing Led Zeppelin covers or Blues standards from Etta James, with Joe Bonamassa or Warren Haynes. You’ll be glad you did.

Support and app function NOT matched by reality. I am surprised to discover that Support entries are not found in the Substack reader app (e.g., require confirmation on adding emails to my account is nowhere among the options), and that there’s no way to delete archived entries when swiping left, unlike most iOS apps, ADDS the item to the Archive, instead of deleting the item. It is true that what I read matters. It is EVEN MORE TRUE that what I DON’T read matters, and that I don’t want it on my iPhone. I am specifically referring to entries that are NOT from a paid subscription. I have not read any of them, nor listened to podcasts, nor do I plan to. I view this as a serious breach of my privacy. I want it to be fixed soon!

Mesmerized. I just started and have spent hours with some of the best articles I have come across in over half a century of habitual reading. I can feel myself slowing and focusing as an invisible universe makes itself tangible. I am not using the paid or upgraded model. I am frugal to a fault, but I think I will be upgrading out of a combination of appetite for more, guilt and gratitude. There is material here for everyone regardless of your faith, politics or interests. The quality cuts across the normal distribution of bad to great but the great is insightful on a grand scale. Download the app, set aside time, and prepare for a feast for your mind.

I’m new here…. Great format, sub stack. I’ve read only yeah right right here. Yes ma’am gonna have an x-ray on. Do you need to have it? Yeah I was good since it’s her one article here by Steve Schmidt that he just wrote on the January 6 select committee final hearing. Steve Schmidt has got to be one of the most articulate and elegant writers on political affairs that I have encountered. This article knocked it out of the park for me. This article presents a situation that engenders both hope and fear. People of good will stood up and called out the evil among us. What hope this gives me! I feared and still fear that their voices would be silenced. Those who sponsored and promoted this kind of power grab are capable of violently enforcing a new power structure in this nation. A power structure that will crush the innocent, the earnest seekers of the means to feed their families, educate their children, and live a peaceful, safe life - the ordinary Americans. It almost happened in Germany when fascism nearly crushed whole cultures. We must heed the warnings that Steve Schmidt and those like him who see the imminent risk presented by our native born American oligarchs. We don’t have to give up our beliefs about religion or how the country should be run, but we must protect the rights of all to prosper without the threat of the greedy, the power hungry destroying our democracy. Great job, Mr. Schmidt!

Great Concept, Great App, Needs Better Search Options. Honestly, I thoroughly love the concept of Substack, appreciate most of the app, but would really like to see a better search function that includes the ability to search strictly through one’s own subscriptions, etc. I often find that I want to go back and find an old piece that someone I follow wrote, but it’s nearly impossible when every Substack author is included in the search - perhaps the tabs get expanded from authors to subscribed authors and posts to subscribed posts.

Disappointed. I was really excited to see there was finally a Substack app and I was really pleased with the experience of the app until I realized I wasn’t receiving all my posts into my inbox. I’m baffled by this but it turns out that rather than including your whole feed inside the app it only shows posts that were sent as emails. making this a essentially a sandboxed email app rather that a Substack specific feed reader. This means that you will be completely aware of any posts your subscriptions post to the web only. And in turn this means that if you want to read ALL of your feed the app (what a crazy idea!) you need to go to each subscription individually to check for any posts not sent as email. Nobody is going to do that. Nobody sane. The funniest part is that the “beta” version of Reader on the web DOES show all post in your feed. So until this is resolved I will be deleting this app and sticking with the web.

Pls Remove Played Episodes & Add Sleep Timer. I love the app and use it every day, predominantly for the audio player. Here are two suggested improvements that I hope you’ll consider: 1. A fix is needed to enable the last article in an audio playlist to clear itself from the queue after playing. Other articles “fall off” as they’re played along the way, but the last one sticks around, as if the app doesn’t allow for there to be an empty playlist. 2. Please add a sleep timer to the audio player. Sometimes I want to start listening to an article, knowing I won’t make it through before falling asleep. A customizable sleep timer would allow me to start an article and finish at a later time without worrying about accidentally clearing it from my queue and forgetting which article to go back to. Thanks for your consideration and for a great app / product in general.

Exactly. I identify with many of the situations here. I haven’t been successful so my husband didn’t seem to support me. I realize much of that is his upbringing. You don’t flatter too often. His father especially did not seem to compliment or encourage. Still I often felt lonely. Jeff, you writing, “Don’t say you’re going to be a writer, say, ‘I am a writer,’”when I started my writing career, changed my life. I had spunk at fifty one and self published four novels in four years, kept a blog going and really believed I could do this, what I wrote mattered. Then the world felt like it rocked under my feet. I sputtered around but lost some of that confidence. After five years of a slog, some writing, but dull zeal, I’m coming out of it. I thank you or the mail chimp powers, for inviting me to Substack. I joined on New Years Day. Here’s to success in our writing souls!

It must have been hard to build such a patronizing app. Substack is fine. Some content is engaging, some isn’t. It’s a standard newsletter platform. I was delighted to have an app, as my life is busy and the constant flood of content into my inbox often feels overwhelming. Sometimes I like an idea or a writer so much that I want to support them by subscribing EVEN IF I’M NOT INTERESTED IN READING EVERY SINGLE POST. Substack doesn’t understand this. If they decide you’re not opening the app often enough, they will automatically switch on email newsletters for everything. You can not opt out, only delay the onslaught a bit by signing in and confirming, again, that you do not want all those emails. But if life gets busy and you’re not on the app enough for Substack’s liking — prepare for the emails to return. I’ve unsubscribed from every list and won’t subscribe to any more, though I’ve got a couple of annual subscriptions to see through. Writers: this platform is likely to annoy your readers right off your lists, and actively discourages people signing up for paid subscriptions just to show support. Readers: you’ll never get these people out of your inbox. They override your notification settings on your behalf about once a month. (And send another email to let you know they’ve done so!)

Audio Is Great But Significant Bugs Exist. The new audio feature is great, essentially turning articles into podcasts. There’s an annoying bug. I only want to play one article at a time and despite never creating a playlist, previously played articles appear in the Next list and there’s no way to remove them. I don’t want a playlist. An even bigger problem with the app is that not every article displays in the main feed. You have to go to an author’s page in the app to see all their articles. I have no idea why and there’s no setting to list all articles in the main feed. This means email is still the most reliable way to see what’s happening. Finally, notifications don’t work at all for me.

Needs to have parity with their web site. The app is fine, and I would use it more if it did all of what the web site does. The feature I miss most when using the app is the ability to collapse comment threads in the comment section. There are usually long threads, and I often collapse them so I can move on to the next comment without having to scroll through pages of replies. This is not a small omission because even when in the app, I will close it and go to the web site to read comments. The other feature I miss in the app is the ability to scale up the text using pinch-to-zoom. My eyesight isn’t great, and sometimes I like to make the text larger to make it easier to read. As far as I know, the app does not support this. Even just a setting to change the font size would work. The only thing the app does better than the web site might be notifications. Also, the web site has a feedback problem when you click like on a comment where sometimes it works but there is no visual feedback. That does not happen in the app. But, overall, the app is not as functional as the web site, and so for that reason, I don’t see much reason to use it.

Enjoyable app. I do hit and miss reading on Substack. I subscribe to a few writers and happily enjoy infrequent free posts from others. But it has been difficult to keep up my reading in an organized fashion. This app, however, provides a clean and enjoyable reading experience. I leave the emails alone, and read the articles here. I am sure Substack planned it this way, that I now value their distributed content more than before. If you read their stuff, get this app.

REAL INFORMATION. I am thoroughly enjoying and appreciating Substack and being able to receive unbiased and uncensored information from a variety of sources. I stopped reading and watching mainstream “news”, and only tune in occasionally to see what their angle is and how hard they’re pushing it so I can research that topic for the REST of the story. This forum gives a platform for doctors and scientists and analysts to speak openly for those of us who want to learn and understand more so we can get that message out to others.

Everything comes together in Substack. As a writer and community builder, I have spent years….. years (!) paying for multiple platforms and tools to help build my communities and share my writing - and now I’ve found nirvana. Everything in one platform: blog, chat, podcast, articles, video posting, subscriptions - I am blown away by the capabilities. And…. It’s free. And…. I can make money from what I love to do. Thank you Substack for making these features available and information available to the world. Heaven.

Some UX issues, otherwise good. My main issue with the app is that whenever someone replies in a discussion thread, and I tap the comment from my notifications section (in-app) to open it and read, it brings me to the main discussion page. I have to wade through and find the exact comment - every. single. time. This doesn’t happen on the browser version on desktop, so I’m not sure what the issue is. It makes following and having conversations wildly difficult. If this is fixed, I’ll gladly change my rating to a 5/5, because otherwise the app is great.

The future. I moved my blog from Google to Substack about 15 months ago, and have never looked back. I also love many other outstanding blog sites, and love especially how Bari Weiss has created The Free Press as part of her’s. It inspires. Substack is incredibly easy to use and with great potential. I am working to start my podcast here this year. And I love notes, a chance to promote my work and read others without the snark that plagues Twitter. Also, I don’t have to beg for followers - they’re already there. Keep up the great work, never censor, and thanks for being the true home of free speech on the inter tubes.

I love the platform BUT…. …PLEASE fix the notification feature. When I click on the notification that someone liked or replied to one of my comments, sometimes it takes me directly to the comment in question, but more often than not, it takes me to the beginning of the Comments section. I then gave to scroll down to read a reply—which is incredibly annoying when there are hundreds of comments. A private message feature would also be much appreciated. Thanks for a fantastic platform!!!

Can a platform make a writer better?. I discovered Substack through Holly Becker of decor8. In a recent conversation about content creation she mentioned how she approaches fitting content to the platform. I can feel the difference in the other communications I receive from her. Substack feels more like email from a friend. So I’m trying it out and as a writer it feels lighter more immediate and impromptu. If it helps me deliver content that’s shorter and more relatable then it’ll also have helped make me a better writer.

Like the idea but definitely needs updating. I love the idea of a substack app. I can subscribe to various publications of my favorite writers and when I log into the app i can view all the recent posts all in one place. It’s kind of like creating your own newspaper or magazine, which is really awesome. So this really has potential Unfortunately, the app needs an overhaul. You can’t change your subscription in the app. Apparently not every publication is shown in the feed. I don’t believe you can search posts within a publication. As a writer, it would be immensely helpful to be able to edit drafts in the app. There is a feature to post directly from the app but it’s lacking so many options compared to the web version that I just don’t see the point of using it. It would also be nice to edit your publication and change settings through the app. I realize that having all those bells and whistles would probably require a “Substack Writer” app, but I think it’s really needed. Cause this app is trying to do a little of both but as a result it’s not doing either all that well.

I START MY DAY…. I admire courage, especially when the Courageous are “…the voice of one calling in the wilderness”, the voice that continues calling in spite of ridicule from their “peers”, “cancellations”, loss of employment, vicious attacks from most media pundits whose goals have become indoctrination rather than investigation, not to mention the government who no longer speaks to “we, the people”, but rather to social media—under the table, of course. SUBSTACK provides a platform for the Courageous—the Berensons, the Malones, the actual experts whose one goal is truth-telling for an audience seeking just that…TRUTH.

Ray. I truly like Ray’s articles. They are all good and it is basically what many are thinking. He just thinks out loud to all. He is telling the truth in articles of his and boldly. Most of his articles will make a person stop and think to re-evaluate to encourage us to dig deeper for ourselves to find out the truth in a world full of liars. Some of his articles there is some humor. I don’t like to be lied to and once I find someone has written an article based on untruths I cut them off and NEVER look at another one of their articles again. I don’t like to waste time reading falsehoods. Rays articles a good and well rounded.

Wanted. The gathering and presentation of thoughts and words that please the inner ear in such perilous times bring hope; but they should also bring warning to an open mind. One must control word’s of influence or become weakened by their influence. There are thoughts generated throughout history and one must hear and heed the warning they each contain, just as todays words from Eisenhower gave open warning to those that bear the responsibility to hel humanity survive the constant onslaught of control and enslavement. The presentation’s by substack is the gathering of our outspoken leaders that yes give us hope; but remember to remain alert to all influence or become one of the pied piper’s following.

Substack is fine, just don’t use the app. My main complaint is that when you go on the app, you don’t immediately see the latest from your paid subscription(s). This could be because I unsubscribed from email notifications, and my substack inbox reflects that. I’m not sure, but it should not work that way. The latest post from your paid subscription should be immediate and front and center, not behind 3-4 clicks. Also their video player could use a few options to match the features of every other single video player online, like LANDSCAPE VIEW. Right now, I use a web browser instead of the app.

Love Substack as a reader and a writer!. I love Substack from both a Reader standpoint and a Writer standpoint. It is an intuitive and user-friendly platform that has exactly the tools and features I find most useful. And it gives them to us in a professional, elegant interface where we get to hang out with one another. Love having my favorite writers all in one place, and as a literary professional, I’m enjoying building a Substack presence far more than my experiences with social media and personal websites. Substack does for writers and readers what Apple did for computer users—provides an enjoyable experience within a “lean production” environment—simplicity, efficiency, productivity.

Choosing Truth over Propaganda.. I’m a devoted Substack subscriber for one simple reason: with the exception of some content from “The Wall Street Journal,” and “The Spectator,” newspapers (the UK edition is a weekly newspaper—published as what is a glossy-paged magazine, in American vernacular) I don’t trust the legacy media, nor the Twitter/Meta-world/Google triumvirate to give me straight journalism. I get to choose to read whom I trust, not be force fed Pravda-esque propaganda because that’s all there is. I occasionally read stories in the NY Post, because I trust the integrity of Miranda Divine and the editorial staff in general. However, Substack is my oasis in the desert of modern journalism.

Buggy app. I’ve been using Notes on the app for under a month and twice it has become unusable. The app shuts down when I select the Notes tab. The first time this happened, I reported it and received a meaningless response from support that didn’t resolve the issue. However it appeared to be an issue with a single post, so when that post was pushed further down the page I was able to use the app again - I just couldn’t scroll to the post that initiated the shutdown. And today it’s doing the same thing. I tried viewing notes in a browser instead but since I have the app it just switches to the app and then shuts down. I wish they would pay attention to this issue since it makes the app useless for Notes, which is central to the Substack community experience.

Better through email. I check my emails on my laptop. I enjoyed the convenience of hearing robert Reich’s podcast by clicking on the email. I don’t like the extra steps needed going through Substack. I also don’t like the female robot voice reading his work either. He has his own form of inspirational speech. Please make all of his recordings available through clicking on email. Substack should be available on MacBook Pro. I have it on my iPhone, but I don’t like switching my earphones to my phone. My laptop continues to be my workhorse. I view my iPhone as an entertainment device, but listening to Mr Reich is a part of my work routine, as pleasurable as it is…. Thank you. Also, commenting should also be made more easily available on my laptop too, btw. This was the original sin. Now I have to login through my iPhone, which knocked my rating down yet another star…

First Impressions. New to Substack and a baby boomer, one who as a flawed human being recognized his need for a rescuer, a redeemer and protector of his soul I turned to the author of perfect love and giver of wisdom. He first starting by revealing in increments the depths of that love for me exemplified by the sacrifice of His only Son as the redeemer of my soul. He is the one who also gives wisdom. Liberally and without holding back. The first and second ‘baby steps’ began in humility with the recognition of my broken and flawed state and respect for Him the author of love and life. He gives men wisdom who seek that and that’s is why I’m here. To gain wisdom.

The camouflage of Limited Liberty. Whenever or always you ask or contract for permission, licensure of any description, you are bound to a contract, whether obvious or nebulous, the entity or institution has henceforth control over your conduct or has jurisdiction over your behavior or intentions. To the general populace and even to most officials who are unaware of the complications and the adherence or compliance required. There is a myriad of these obligatory subtle or unseen rules or laws that they virtually deny the concept of ‘Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness’ concept lest you own nothing, do not trade, do not travel, or do most everything that would require a normal or natural lifestyle.

Hooboy does this app need work!. I downloaded and subscribed in order to support Chris Ryan’s work. First, instead of a password setup, Substack uses the “we’ll send you an email link to sign in” tedious nonsense. So got the link, set up a name and a picture, then searched for “Chris Ryan” “Ryan” Christopher Ryan” “Tangentially” and even searched “T”…. Not a single one of those terms came up with ANY results- his or anyone else’s! Maybe my security settings conflict with whatever Substack is doing in the background, but if whatever they are doing in the background is invasive enough to break their website then uh-oh. I have turned off content blockers, no difference in search results. Without the ability to search for content then Substack is pretty much worthless, hope they get some engineering attention on one of the most basic needs of such a site…

New to app review?. Being prompted to review an application after only a few days worth of spare time usage, from a guy that isn't very internet savvy; may be a part of the development process of platform? I've only recently come to know of SubStack, through contacts on other platforms. I don't fully understand the organization of the "library topics", yet; I find it comparable to setting a toddler loose in a public library, that has no clue to how the books are organized... though I've managed to find a few items of general interest to me by happenstance browsing. I can say, when looking for my contacts by name (searching), I have no problems finding exactly where I need to get to, thus far. As I'm not very familiar with the platform yet, I'm not displeased, but I haven't found any form of "how to use this platform", or instructional, "tips and tricks" page yet either? I'm sure at a later time I may be prompted for another review? Hopefully by then, I'll be able to deliver a better review?

Fun, Reliable, and Easy to use. Ok, we all know Substack has great content, but they’ve gone above and beyond by giving users an easy to use and reliable app now too! I saw today they added the ability to have articles “read” to us and added a “play next” function, so I wanted to drop a positive review here. I love that the are investing in their product in smart ways and executing well too. (Side note: about a month ago I emailed their support team and asked them to add a feature that would allow readers to expand or collapse comment threads, and a HUMAN engineer replied that she liked the idea and would add it to their RFE list. Great touch, Substack!)

Warning! Big problems.. Update: as a writer using SubStack, I would not recommend that writers jump onto the SubStack platform until things get worked out. Stripe, the company that processes payments, charges 15%. That is outrageous and unacceptable, and they don’t tell you that up front. As stated before, there is NO way to contact any customer service. While there are some things I like about SubStack, I really regret having jumped into it at this point. Now that I have subscribers, there is no easy way to just stop. I think that’s what SubStack is counting on. Currently, the app is not working. There is NO customer service. You cannot talk to a human being if you encounter a problem. The thing I like about Substack is it’s simplicity. It’s a newsletter only, without extra nonsense. It’s great when it works. When it doesn’t work, I guess you just have to hope it does work again, eventually, somehow. I got the impression that SubStack was all about connecting readers and writers, and the whole concept seemed clean and honest. So far, it is not turning out that way.

Contentious vaccines. Two hundred years of indoctrination has brought us to this point. The question is, was the vaccines contentious at the time of small pox, polio , Spanish flu etc. was the propaganda machine ( safe & effective , science is setteled , there is no link between vaccine & Autism etc. etc. ) operative at that time , indoctrinating institutions , scientists & doctors like at the present time ? Where was the real science ? Don’t they know the data on the health of American children are abominable ? To truly answer these questions one has to go back to the root of the problem, during the time of Louis Pasture & the unknown Anthony Beauchamp. This should shed a huge amount of light between the “ anti vaxers & the vaccine cultists or the vaccine euphorics I

Terrible app. I have no idea how this has 5 stars, maybe I’m just unlucky. I downloaded this because of a newsletter I’m subscribed to via email and I pay a monthly fee for it. I thought it would be easier to use Substack but that proved incorrect. Could not sign up with my main email after several attempts so I had to use my burner account. Tried to update email but that’s not an option. Whatever, so I find Ancient Origins and subscribe, but it’s only the free version, so it didn’t even do me any good. Each time I try to sign in it makes me send a link to my email, because it never gave me the option to create a password. This stole 20 minutes of my life that I won’t get back. Deleted and done.

A rare beacon in the world gone mad. A rare beacon in todays world: aware and steeped in philosophical truth and wisdom of the ages, much like America’s Founding Fathers, combined with many insights from times since; politically and ruling elite irreverent, read and thoroughly appreciated for over 20 years now. As I am now residing in Córdoba, Argentina with one of my brothers, away from the insanity of the “developed” economies of the northern hemisphere, one of my longest desires is to visit him on his ranch, drink some good wine and engage in a meaningful conversation, maybe lasting for days I hope Bill, that you will grant me that wish when you return to Argentina, as I am earnest in that wish, and I hold that in my mind during this Thanksgiving 2022. Ad thanks for being you! A common and humble man, follower and subscriber of B.P.R, and numerous Agora publications since 2001. John Gudgeon

Strength and Courage. I am intrigued and overwhelmed with the information that Matt is providing. It scares me that it was so easy for Twitter employees to hand over information to the FBI. It astonishes me how many agencies are involved. It’s hard for me to believe that our future is in the hands of people who have no idea what freedom represents. I am so proud and feel very close in heart to Matt almost like he could be a son that I want to protect. Matt has tremendous strength and courage in this undertaking. I applaud him every step of the way.

Reading the Truth in American News is hard to find. Even before Drudge appeared on the sene it was a challenge to find honest journalism and I don’t mean that they needed to be in agreement with my perceptions, just honest. And yes, if they “Sold Out” as on the case of “ The Drudge Report” then I pack up my time and seek out new journalists! Frustrating but necessary if I am determined to be well educated & informed. If I find a news source that is anything but honest then I move on ( this happened quite frequently ). But I have been diligent and have found a small group of educators aka journalists “because” that’s what journalism does - it educates & informs so that I can make informed decisions. And so I thank all of you who are true to your profession. This latest article by Emerald Robinson is a perfect example; not that I already lost trust in Lutz but I just wasn’t aware of so much in her latest writing of him and his antics. This helps me confirm my suspicions and complete my life long passion for the truth on people & subjects. So to that end, I want to say “Thank You” Emerald Robinson for using my time wisely. Since I have precious little of it to source my providers, it’s a confirmation that my new subscription to you has already confirmed my investment in this endeavor has paid in dividends yet again. Please continue….. Paul Q

I don’t want to be in my inbox. This app is perfect.. I subscribe to a dozen or more Substack newsletters. I’m also one of those people who has a fraught relationship with their e-mail inbox. I don’t want to spend more time in my inbox(es)! This app is delicious nectar from heaven. It just works. My newsletters show up. The reading experience is smooth. The app is quick. And I don’t have to be distracted by the wayward work email or wild email promo when trying to catch up on reading. The inbox reminds me of the good old days of social media. I subscribe to certain creators and what they published is served up to me in chronological order!!! Thanks for building this. Excited to see what comes next.

Freedom/Liberty/Substack. Look to what our Founding Fathers had to do in order to get information to the masses, under the noses of the autocratic rule of King George III of Great Britain! The Patriots held secret meetings & wrote pamphlets, & other things. After the Revolution, the First Amendment was adopted, the Right to Free Speech! We still have that Right today, but in the Information Age of the internet, we again have the need to disseminate information “secretly” because of government/private collusion to censor Free Speech. Substack is a wonderful means to share ideas and information in a Free-Speech forum.

Great product, missing a few minor improvements. All and all a great app and platform that's simple to use, so I'm just going to focus on my perceived negatives. 1. I suffer from mild dyslexia and have found relief from using the OpenDyslexic font wherever possible. Unfortunately, substack doesn't provide that as an option among its font choices. 2. Since the platform allows adding other RSS feeds without fuss, it's quickly become my default aggregator. But you can only add new RSS feeds from the website, not the app, making it frustrating when I find a new feed while on mobile. 3. The app's minimalist design is simple and generally easy to navigate, but I often find myself not knowing where to tap to get to a specific page or menu. And the app icon in the corner deceptively doesn't do anything. It could benefit from another pass at intuitiveness. Regardless of these minor shortcomings, I would highly recommend it as both a consumer and a creator.

Good but missing a few things. For the most part I’m really enjoying the substack app. The UI is great, it’s easy to navigate between specific substacks or just look at your combined chronological feed, etc. I’m only giving three stars for now because there are a few features missing (or not working on my device? iPhone X, so not that old): - minimize comment thread! This exists on the main site, so hopefully it was just a small oversight (or it wasn’t considered a priority for release) that it’s not on the app … - minimizing a comment thread should send you to the next comment, rather that keeping your distance scrolled constant. This matters because oftentimes I’ll spend some time reading replies and then want to close the parent comment and move on to the next one, but the way minimizing works on the desktop site if you do that you’ll be in the middle of the replies to a later comment - if you tap the top of the screen and are sent back to the top of the article, it would be nice to be able to tap it again to return to where you were. As someone with aggressive thumbs this feature is a lifesaver elsewhere that it exists Again, the app is mostly great, but these three issues are huge for my enjoyment, so I’ll be leaving my review at 3/5 until they’re added.

Good Content. The content is great. Much Appreciated. Hopefully, a viable business model emerges that is financially palatable for both the consumer and the creator, and the intermediaries. It is simply too expensive to pay for multiple independent subscriptions. Perhaps subscribers could and would risk higher preliminary fees to help get an individual entity up to viable scale for a corresponding reward of considerably lower fees when platforms have made it big. Teams of creators is another alternative. There just isn’t enough pocket cash to buy just too many podcasters and writers over the longer haul.

Good job. As I continue to watch the growth of Lukie Boxing I admire his professional growth along with his desire to be a successful journalist and an excellent writer. His info is up to date and he continues to respect the boxers, trainers, and promoters without “trashing” anyone. Too many feel they are “experts” when they are not any where close. Lukie doesn’t let his ego kill the message. He delivers with integrity. We need more writers like him. The Al Bersteins and Dave Bontempo’s of boxing have to be smiling. They never let their egos get in the way of their integrity. Keep punching Luke. You are doing well.

Can’t adjust really small font size. This app is a mixed bag but has promise. On the “needs improvement” side: the app only uses a random serif font that appears to be 10 points in size (maybe 9), with text in single space. Neither the font size nor the type are adjustable. It’s a poor reading experience. And … this is a reading app! It’s job is to produce a great reading experience. Which it decidedly does not do. Hopefully future improvements will include letting the reader adjust the font size, have greater line spacing and let the reader choose from fonts. These are all pretty common for reader apps. On the good side: the app’s business logic and organization work flawlessly. It’s nice to be able to see articles from my various Substack subscriptions organized in chronological order. This works well. So, the apps does the hard things well (management and presentation of content from various subscriptions) and does a quite mediocre job on the garden variety UI stuff that most reading apps already do. Hopefully they will improve that in future updates.

Discovery gold. The mind and actions of an authoritarian regime isn’t just the regime itself. The tentacles of this administration is far more active and is both scary and dangerous. The Biden admin act as the brain and the key parts of media the mouth piece, congress members is the body, the court is the feet and now we know the federal law enforcement is the hands. I originally thought it was pure paranoia on conspiracy folks, but you just shed light on actions taken in the dark alleys we don’t see. We can see them now. They use only parts on you but Conservatives and truth tellers are getting the full body right now. The 3 branches were supposed to operate separate but equal, not in collusion for a common cause against its citizens and their wishes. Keep the discovery information coming I am sure more light will expose this further.

Read articles that are different. Excellent and informative article on Finnish and Swedish historical Christmas practices!

Great effort✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️. Wow! Well done Geoff. I believe you are spot on.

One of the best apps I’ve used. Can read or listen. Great for busy people who want good information. No censorship and great communities too.

Clif High. Just a great Man ….. so much great information

Excellent. Great platform.

Just annoying. I was subscribed to a few Substacks prior to downloading, but opening the app opened up with a dozen more that I‘d never heard of. Unsubbed from them all in safari (apparently not possible within the app?) but then had 20+ emails confirming each new subscription and unsubscription. What a ridiculous marketing strategy - why??!

Truth in reporting. Reliable, up to date and honest articles.

Deceptive conduct. Just set up the account and app. NOWHERE on the App Store or the setup does say it’s a paid app. Started reading an article which then stalled saying need to start a 7 day free trial and then pay STILL didn’t say how much Not happy Jan , on principle won’t be subscribing

Good stuff. Keep up the parallel universe of every truth be told unparalleled justice

So e improvements needed. Pls make it so Substack links when clicked open directly into the iOS app.

Shocking app.. I had a bad experience downloading this app today. I was encouraged to download the app through a newsletter that I subscribe to about Long Covid. However, when I downloaded the app and logged in, it, suddenly subscribed me to all these other random newsletters and my inbox had about 15 emails welcoming me to these other subscriptions, and encouraging me to pay money to view their other newsletters. Completely ridiculous!!! I signed up for this app only to read about Long Covid, I’m not interested in reading all these other random newsletters that they decided to subscribe me to. So I have deleted my account and deleted the app. Goodbye, you’ve lost me.

Great. Recommend

Options are now open. Love to have variety back after the scaling back of information that was happening from other forms of media.

Ethan Strauss is one of the best. Can’t get enough of Ethan Strauss. Such a talented writer. He has such a brilliant turn of phrase. His takes are always on point. I’m in Australia but what he says about the US resonates just as much here. Keep up the great work, Ethan

Couldn’t start it. I downloaded the app and tried repeatedly to open it. Kept getting message to check email to log in. Email came but never worked. I then gave up for while. Very annoying. Now works ok, and is easier than getting lots of emails.

Amazing. Substack is an amazing app for learning, for reading and writing your own content. Highly recommended

App is not great for content creators. Love the Substack platform but this app is geared towards the readers/viewers and browsers. This App is NOT great for creators I.e. editing posts etc.

Update has made this app terrible. What happened to the simple feed? You could load the app a see the most recent articles for the writers you subscribed to. Now it is just a mess of suggestions and articles I read previously on other devices. There is no coherent presentation and search is just awful.

Crossroads. It’s word that been around for centuries, in this case I’ll refer it to what goes on in one’s mind. Ie one gets to the point of understanding of self where you realise patterns are repeating in that skull space you call a brain. What usually happens is we only think linearly so each word in our heads inevitable leads to another…. Which can lead to being miserable for example. That’s whenever say, you realise you need help. Here’s one tool, :- one needs to interject a word into our linear process, pick up a book, open at any page ,and look at the 5th word on the left side of that page ….. then have your grey muscle think, talk, and explain what that word could mean in your current situation ….. and bingo, something smart happens . Edwin xx

From the land down under.. Thank for the wisdom that is always so readily available. Our thoughts and prayers go out the all those who knew Dr Zelenko he was a truely an amazing man.

Chews up battery. Great UI, great content, but OMG does this app chew up my battery! Every time I’ve had it open for a bit, the battery graph in iPad OS settings looks like a cliff.

Exciting Adventures. Well done guys, great fun. If you haven’t seen or heard or read anything about Misadventure Adventures time to join the M A

Go back to old app design. New app design hard to navigate. Also isn’t the joy of Substack that is has no Instagram style algorithm. Please add option to see a list of your followed subscriptions again.

True Journalism. Exposing the Global plan to strip us of our God given Human Rights and corral us into a mindless existence, Bravo and thank you once again!! Stand up Humanity!!

I’d love to live more, pay less.. Thanks for your insights and life experiences. I’ll look forward to reading your book as some more details will be good to help me step out to live more. When is your book likely to be released

Nowhere to report an issue in the app. I like the app and the ability to save my articles, but the read progress doesn’t persist. I couldn’t find anywhere in the app or on your website where I could report the issue, so unfortunately that means I have to do it here in the form of a bad review. Please add an issue reporting feature in the app and fix the bug mentioned above.

Text to voice. Text to voice is one of this apps great features

Clutter free content. Really enjoying a platform that lets me pay for quality content that I want and it helps minimize the doom scroll of social media.

Love the access to independent really creativity journalists. I’ve quit Twitter as there is rarely a topic that needs less than a page of thoughtful writing to get right… so Substack is my home now!

Easy on the eye and no pop ups. Easy on the eye

The depth and context we need. Social media is cooked! Substack gives context, nuance and insight like we haven’t seen on Social media

Failure update - from basic level to frustrating. It was a basic app to start - that’s fine, it’s the content - but now it localises the content you’re following into a block at the top and ‘stuff we think you might like’ dominates the screen - I looked for a feedback button but there was nothing on the website which tells you everything you need to know about product management.

A wonderful platform for creative writers of all genres.. Easy to use and flexible without a tiresome learning curve to navigate. And you can turn your subscribers, free or paid, into a dynamic social network. Brilliant!

Fantastic platform with great content!. I love the variety, depth and quality of the writing and I applaud the Substack founders’ commitment to free speech and to not manipulating readers’ choices. It is my favourite platform for great content you simply can’t get anywhere else, because the MSM treats news as entertainment and has been completely corrupted by governments, its sponsors and its shareholders into being a propaganda or public relations machine for those vested interests.

Great format, plenty of suggestions. Love the app and content. Could help to have a search function within authors/articles. Also a bookmarks/notes function to save favorite articles under certain subjects. Open link in new browser window. Keep up the good work- you’re in the right track. Don’t get captured!

Valuable news. George is a wonderful writer and has dynamic skills in the investigation of the many tyrants that hate to be exposed. Every article is dynamic and jam packed with relevant information.

MY LOW VISION. Currently enjoying the app, but unable to and large the typeface on my iPad Pro, which makes it more difficult to read the small print. It would be great if you could make it so that I could enlarge the typeface as I read with my open fingers open the fingers. Please could you advise if this is possible? Otherwise all very good thanks very much. Regards, Alan,.

A fantastic app. I’ve only used it for a short while but I’m loving it in a time of growing censorship if Substack remains committed to FreeSpeech I see a bright future ahead for them

underwhelming. So Substack, I want to see (1) posts in the fonts and background colors I see in browsers (presumably chosen by the authors), and (2) landscape mode enabled, especially for landscape-format videos! Until these two things are possible, I won't be using the app, okay?

Praise. There are only two contributors to Substack that I subscribe to and both of them write brain rattling articles. I am richer as a result of their investigative material.

Relief. Finally, something to feel good about. I was about to stop listening/reading the ‘news’ due to overreaching drama accompanied by depression. As a Canadian, I’m watching the political landscape shift quite dramatically to mirror? (I hope not) our cousins to the south. With immigration at an all time high I sure hope we can remain respectful of all (things) that make this planet enjoyable. If you feel like leaving the planet, without actually leaving, might I suggest a trip to Prince Edward Island with a ferry ride to Isles de la Madeleine (don’t forget to bring a kite). Thanks Andrew for reminding me of the value that the ‘dog days of summer’ bring. Best Wayne

A great read !. Doomberg shares real and reliable information with readers and subscribers. Most arrivals include factual data based information that is referenced for the purposes of the conversation. We love the way they never shy away from taking pot shots at those who need a little bit of a slap.

Bye bye Twitter…. …there’s a new kid and town, and we like it.

Want to write but having trouble might be I last posted in February. The Substack is unwilling to let me write the paper

Long form journalism rocks!. Short form journalism offered by legacy journalism sucks! As a frequent consumer of podcasts and Substack posts, I am better informed that at any time in my 72 year lifetime. Combine this evolution with the advances in large language modes like ChatGPT and you have a superior alternative to obtaining an expensive university degree. This is a great time to be alive for anyone who is a lifetime learner. It is also a requirement for all “knowledge workers” (the “laptop” crowd) who wish to compete successfully in the emerging Digital Age.

need ability to stop Substack Reads showing in my feed. though i have unsubscribed from it

Our Lord 🙏🏼. Praise be to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen 🙏🏼. Happy month of the most beloved Sacred Heart of Jesus ❤️‍🔥🕊️🙏🏼✝️

Thank you Substackers!!. You are exactly what we need!!!

Where suppressed info can be found on EMF. The Power Couple is quite a remarkable resource to find out the hidden harms of wireless tech, and what we can do about it! Substack makes it digestible and easy to follow!

Audio integration. Adding the text to audio easily is a game changer. I know there were ways to do it otherwise but making it easier makes it happen. Just a few hurdles in a busy day can easily deter users from content. Great work 👏🏽

Michael Moore on Fox News announcement. Was very informative!

This is a review. The prose is good in the sense that the path of a being a good person requires quite a bit of hard work to follow. Matt Taibbi raises his voice against our very own, in-house totalitarian tendencies to squelch free speech. He fearlessly opposes powerful forces that want to control our opinions and our democracy. The meaning in the world that this fellow is weaving isn’t merely important, no -it’s absolutely crucial. Hallelujah Matt Taibbi! Do not stop! As for his prose - well… we will need to be good right along side him ;)

Upset-as can’t unsubscribe to paid subscribers. This is ridiculous. Now I have to download Substack to my laptop as I can’t make these changes on my phone where I have the Substack app I want to unsubscribe from some of my paid subscriptions. I enjoy reading on Substack. But this is nonsense.

Clean UI, Doesn’t Support Basic Features. A shame that such a good looking app doesn’t support straightforward features like app-only notifications, footnotes, and more.

So many amazing writers and comments,. How can I comment without a subscription? I love this place!

Feedback. This app will NOT let me log in, it says can’t connect to the server—- this address has to be fixed

Barely unsubscribable. Thought I had unsubscribed from Seymour I couple months ago but continued to be charged on credit card. So I cancel the credit card. It will be replaced and sub stack will never have access to it

The Gardiner The great barrier between land and water. It was an interesting point that matt pointed out that of the team 11 only 2 are against what to do with the Gardiner. My wreck less vision take it down. Build a toll tunnel entering from Bloor Viaduct and exit just pass the food terminal or what the heck go for the gusto exit 427/QEW As a child I played and swam just north of Riverdale zoo/old Toronto zoo. Maybe we should have tunnelled DVP and tolled it also. When they built the Burlington Sky Bridge it’s was tolled. My grandfather mentioned that bank of canada lent the funds with no interest. When the tolls paid repaid the loan, the toll gates were removed. Thanks for this venue to go blah blah

Couldnʻt Get It To Work. I liked the idea of the app but couldnʻt get in.

Editing drafts on-the-go?. It would be such a great little app if there was something in it for the writers too, like being able to edit drafts on the go, or make posts on the go. Some of us don’t like to travel with our laptops, and instead, travel with a phone or maybe even just an iPad. Just a thought! Love Substack. I have fully transitioned my food blog on to this space. I just need a little more from the app as a creator!

Debt Jubilee by Brock. Wonderful & consistent with my personal understanding of the world . . . and what we all wish for the future of mankind.porttrid

Honestly it’s better than I thought. Great app good layout and intuitive. It’s a great way for me to support my favourite creators and get more eye opening content from them! Win win! Plus there are free members too if you aren’t sure if you would like to pay for some content or not! Nice! Overall 10/10 great app and a great platform. Thanks substack!

Fantistic and awesomely simple. knowledge is power!!!

Kids March. Damn I really wish that I could have been there thanks to all that attended

Substack. Oh my goodness, I would not be without Substack. It is great and generally thought provoking. They have continued to change my life. Roberta

Painting my g such a vivid picture. It was as though I was with you in the backyard and kitchen. Love the empathy. Great story telling

Wish I could pay a flat rate. It would be nice if I could pay a flat rate to access X number of paid articles a month, rather than having to manage multiple subscriptions.

Arts and Letters. Of course. Now a paid subscription required for Stack. Plus way too much data collected. There is no privacy anymore. Delete.

Dr Paul. The fact that you have Dr Paul Dobransky as a contribuer is alone worthy of 5 stars. Let alone some others I’m discovering.

Truth. Solid Truth Steve in a day of lies and lack of common sense ! Keep up the great work! It’s people like you that are the Light on the Hill !!

Doesn’t work. Downloaded the app, it made me sign in with my email, then emailed me a link, I hit the link and all I got was an endlessly spinning circle. Deleted the app, re-downloaded with the same none result. Troubleshooting FAQs gave no hint as to how to resolve the issue so I give up.

Stupid App. Stupid App. Hit 'Archive' by mistake, can't be undone. Learn how to build an app already. Once a post has been archived, it can't be un-archived.

A beginning. Though, a long way to go. Even the mobile-reader feed has been down for a day or more. And notifications don't work. Plus, some of us increase the font size, but it throws off the design. This will be a 4 star someday, & beat the NYT, the Athletic, & the Globe & Mail are still 3/5. I use them, to just save to Safari's Reading List. This app is a 2/5 I'll keep paying while the journalists I pay, plus Safari's Reader View, 99.9% works on iOS. I'm already seeing rare issues, but I can cancel anytime, without a stressed-out human. For now.

Too much unwanted email. Although I am enjoying reading the articles by the author I signed up to read, I am not impressed by the amount of unwanted email I receive from Substack.

The Perennial Bible. So grateful to be introduced & to order and anticipate my copy arriving in the mail! Bodhi mentioned how some think God hasn’t changed! Certainly human reflection on the meaning of “God” changed a LOT in the Hebrew-Christian scriptures…obviously! We see through a glass darkly, and if “God IS disguised as our lives”, an idea I certainly embrace, then mine and every other person who’s tried to express in words what the reality is to me is Sacred Presence, Eternal Wisdom, Nurturing Spirit…& DEEP ABIDING MYSTERY…is always moving/changing! imho, Karen P.

Free Trial? Check your CC statement or they will charge you. Substack continued to charge me for months after I did a free trial. I cancelled and even changed my CC number but they somehow got me new card details and continued charging me. I provided CC statements proving the charges and the card number and they basically denied they were charging me. Had to open a fraud file with my provider and cancel my card. Beware before you give them your card info and make sure to check your statement each month to make sure they are not fraudulently charging you.

A breath of fresh air. What a difference a dignified platform can make…

The website is better. Great service, ok app. The app presents all the articles in the same boring style. Why not respect the authors stylistic choices as you do on web?

Christmas Favourites. Meaghan Smith’s Christmas album It Snowed. Love her versions of Little Drummer Boy and Silver Bells. But the most played and replayed song is It Snowed.

God, Save us From the TV heads and Hysterical Women and Their Wimpy Mrn. Substack is a hope. We’re not alone. We can stand up.

Clean UI. Does not respect your privacy.. While I love the app, it has a clean UI and a pleasant UX to it by elegantly showing that the interface concept of “less is more” can work work effectively. Unfortunately, I do not like how privacy-invasive the app is. It collects far too much data about you, it’s data that wouldn’t (and couldn’t) be gathered by reading the email newsletters, so Substack is getting greedy for user info with the app. Once I saw what data of mine the app gathers I immediately deleted it and went back to using email newsletters that don’t invade my privacy. This was so close to being great, but due to privacy invasions, this counts as a fail, Substack.

Korybko beau resume concis. Complexite bien resumée

Real Journalism. For those of us, who have been watching main stream media take a nose dive further and further into the abyss of relevancy, it’s beyond refreshing to read articles that are well written, and filled with intelligent nuance on a regular basis! Thank You Substack

Great journalists. Thei byline says it all « The Line is Canada’s last, best hope for irreverent commentary »

Substack & Intentional Media. Substack helps me consume media intentionally. I found authors who quote truth and write concise essays on topics I find important.

Cannot manage payment. This app need more account management feature, this should be explicit

Truth. Thank you, Mitch for truthful and detailed information

Made a mistake. Tried yo look and understand stack as a couple of writers interested. It was a mistake as i was led down the garden path and now get emails and notifications from hundreds. How do I escape this mess without changing my email. Most of stack is now spam.

Articles. Here is a writer, with a ‘heart that is the pen of a ready writer…. Perhaps in wisdom and the pen we win, but remember always that we do win!

Poor Accessibility. It’s insane that I can’t increase the text size in this app. I like reading on my iPad, but the font is so small it gives me a headache. I can’t even use system text size settings because they only affect the headings. Not to mention the notification spam if I comment on a busy post. I want notifications for new posts and direct replies, but not for every single comment left on someone else’s post.

Who knew there was so much to talk about. So far this is my first day being a paid customer, and IMO that’s probably the best $5:99 I’ve paid for Boxing info!! So much that I joined this morning and here it is Almost 8 O’clock and I don’t think I’ve picked up my head except to go to the bathroom…lol when Dan says you get more he’s definitely being Honest! I highly recommend this app

Cannot sign in. I downloaded this app yesterday and have tried five times to enter in my email address to get started. I get the email, click the link, and get an error on my iPhone saying “The network connection has been lost”, and then the app asks me for my email address again. I do not want to leave a one-star review without having seen the app (I’m actually very excited for it!) but apparently you can’t contact Substack’s tech support without logging in, and I cannot log in, so…here’s hoping someone sees this and addresses the bug. I’m on an iPhone 7, iOS 15.3.1, if that helps.

Great start. My request is there is a way to pick up where I left off when listening to audio. When I leave an article that has audio, there doesn’t seem to be a standalone audio player that will allow me to continue to browse while listening to an audio from a different creator within the app.

Thank you.. Beautifully written, as always. The heartfelt observation shines light on what we need more light on in this country- and that’s the goodness of this country- seeming victim of all that’s bad. Of course it’s still here. We have to fight to let it shine, which is indeed a shame, but for those of us who remember times which goodness seemed more prevalent, and for those longing for those times, it’s worth it to fight for-

End of Substack as we know it. The updated app has ruined Substack as we know it. Rather than letting me see posts from writers I am subscribed to and hence am interested in reading, it shows names and titles of their posts in a bulky format that requires awkward swiping from the side and limits the number of articles I can see. Then instead, it shows me things others have promoted in a Twitter style feed. I liked Substack because it was not social media. Now it is nothing more than another social media app with one goal in mind: being divisive by showing me what it wants me to see rather than what I want to see. I feel bad for the writers who will no longer have the traffic they once had due to the new content-hiding format.

A Great Tool. I don’t have to search for articles anymore. The articles of the Substack authors I subscribe to just appear in the app as they are submitted, the latest being at the top so you don’t miss anything. The older articles are there, too, if you want to scroll down and read from them. The comment system looks like a breeze, and I can’t wait to get into it and start subbing my own.

Can a platform make a writer better?. I discovered Substack through Holly Becker of decor8. In a recent conversation about content creation she mentioned how she approaches fitting content to the platform. I can feel the difference in the other communications I receive from her. Substack feels more like email from a friend. So I’m trying it out and as a writer it feels lighter more immediate and impromptu. If it helps me deliver content that’s shorter and more relatable then it’ll also have helped make me a better writer.

For comments, use the web interface. I’ve been using Substack for a few years and saw in comments that people were often using the app. I decided to try it. It turns out that some of the core functionality is just missing in the app. In the web interface, in long comment threads, you can minimize the whole thread or subthread by clicking on the line on the left, but this doesn’t seem to work in the app. This is very helpful when there are threads on different topics and you want to skip past one you are not interested in. When you get a reply to a comment you left, the notification in the app has a link that takes you to the post where your comment is, but you have to search through the thread to actually see the reply or reply to it, while the email notification you get has a link that takes you directly to the new reply. Maybe the app is useful if you read a lot of different top level posts and don’t engage much in the comments. But if you engage in comments, stick to the web interface.

Needs a delete function!. There are two ways to get a post out of your inbox, archiving and saving, and from their support documentation, it seems that both of these are intended for posts you want to read later, not for posts you want to delete from your account. There are tons of reasons to want to delete a post—accidental subscriptions, for example— and the fact that there doesn’t seem to be any way to permanently delete items from your account seems like a major flaw in the app’s design.

REAL INFORMATION. I am thoroughly enjoying and appreciating Substack and being able to receive unbiased and uncensored information from a variety of sources. I stopped reading and watching mainstream “news”, and only tune in occasionally to see what their angle is and how hard they’re pushing it so I can research that topic for the REST of the story. This forum gives a platform for doctors and scientists and analysts to speak openly for those of us who want to learn and understand more so we can get that message out to others.

Recent update completely ruins the experience. Previously the app showed new articles in the order they were posted. I would check the app once or twice a day, read the headlines of the pieces that had been posted since I last checked, and read the ones I was interested. Now that’s been replaced by some kind of algorithmic feed that shows me older articles that I haven’t read. But the thing is—I chose not to read those articles on purpose. I subscribe to lots of substacks where I’m only interested in the occasional article. If this change isn’t reverted, I will have to unsubscribe to every substack except the 2 or 3 I actually read.

The Stories. Come to the app for the stories! This is a great collection of writers that allows you to curate your own daily…or weekly, or monthly publication. Support the authors that you read regularly directly, so that they do not have to modify their writing to fit the conflict-driven algorithms. Way to go, Substack! Easy, usable app with a good reading experience. The only thing I wish they would do is allow subject-tagging and article-level searches.

The last bastion of unfiltered truth telling. In a remarkably short period of time sub stack has become the last bastion of honest unedited (and unexpurgated) writing. The collection of writers from Matt Taibbi and Glenn Greenwald to Andrew Sullivan, David French, and Lyons seems to have become the last great hope for free thought against a rising tide of KantAnd groupthink. It is well worth picking some writers and funding them as if you may not have a choice in the future. Because that is a possibility.

It Not Over. Brilliant! We frustrated Americans, many of whom followed Naomi Wolf on the War Room, we Grandparents & children of those who fought in World War ll, are frustrated but most of all sad. It has been very hard to watch Americans give away their freedoms so quickly & so easily. I pray that those who inflicted this madness on our children, who left our elderly to die along receive some punishment for their crimes. I will not hold my breath.

Great product, missing a few minor improvements. All and all a great app and platform that's simple to use, so I'm just going to focus on my perceived negatives. 1. I suffer from mild dyslexia and have found relief from using the OpenDyslexic font wherever possible. Unfortunately, substack doesn't provide that as an option among its font choices. 2. Since the platform allows adding other RSS feeds without fuss, it's quickly become my default aggregator. But you can only add new RSS feeds from the website, not the app, making it frustrating when I find a new feed while on mobile. 3. The app's minimalist design is simple and generally easy to navigate, but I often find myself not knowing where to tap to get to a specific page or menu. And the app icon in the corner deceptively doesn't do anything. It could benefit from another pass at intuitiveness. Regardless of these minor shortcomings, I would highly recommend it as both a consumer and a creator.

Cannot Edit in the App. Minor annoyance, but the app won’t allow edits of posts and comments with the three little dots. For now, I’m using the Chrome browser that has fully functional three dots and editing capabilities. Placed a browser icon on the Home Screen next to the app icon. Sometimes Chrome keeps me signed in other times not. Time will tell which works best , which means which has the least annoyances.

Just missing automatic place saving. This is a great app, it’s a good way to read my favorite writers. I particularly like that it saves my place when I exit an article by swiping so that I can later pick up where I left off. What I wish it would do is auto save location so that even if I got interrupted by a phone call, text message, real life, etc, I could come straight back to where I was currently at in the article.

PLEASE MAKE AN APP FOR WRITING TOO!!. This app is great but I am a writer on Substack and I just really really wish there was an app for the writers too !! I write from my phone and it’s not really possible to post from my phone. Even through the web browser the option doesn’t exist it won’t let you post something from the phone. I have to always borrow someone’s computer and it’s really inconvenient 😅 hope they come out with a writing app too or fix the web browser for phone use.

Apple Notifications Bug. Many stories in my Notification window. The abberant behavior is when I am narrowing down which stories to click on, I slide some out of the way. Substack behavior which seems like a misdesign or a bug, is that all of the following and preceding Substack Notifications disappear. Being new to your App, I am not going to chase your stories down and sort through them. I will continue to press the story from Notifications. However, All of todays stories disappeared when I swiped that one away. Now go tell your writers that I am not chasing them down to read their stories today.

Good job. As I continue to watch the growth of Lukie Boxing I admire his professional growth along with his desire to be a successful journalist and an excellent writer. His info is up to date and he continues to respect the boxers, trainers, and promoters without “trashing” anyone. Too many feel they are “experts” when they are not any where close. Lukie doesn’t let his ego kill the message. He delivers with integrity. We need more writers like him. The Al Bersteins and Dave Bontempo’s of boxing have to be smiling. They never let their egos get in the way of their integrity. Keep punching Luke. You are doing well.

Everything comes together in Substack. As a writer and community builder, I have spent years….. years (!) paying for multiple platforms and tools to help build my communities and share my writing - and now I’ve found nirvana. Everything in one platform: blog, chat, podcast, articles, video posting, subscriptions - I am blown away by the capabilities. And…. It’s free. And…. I can make money from what I love to do. Thank you Substack for making these features available and information available to the world. Heaven.

Support and app function NOT matched by reality. I am surprised to discover that Support entries are not found in the Substack reader app (e.g., require confirmation on adding emails to my account is nowhere among the options), and that there’s no way to delete archived entries when swiping left, unlike most iOS apps, ADDS the item to the Archive, instead of deleting the item. It is true that what I read matters. It is EVEN MORE TRUE that what I DON’T read matters, and that I don’t want it on my iPhone. I am specifically referring to entries that are NOT from a paid subscription. I have not read any of them, nor listened to podcasts, nor do I plan to. I view this as a serious breach of my privacy. I want it to be fixed soon!

Update audio control in minimized size. Please update the audio controls when the player is minimized. We all know which newsletter we are reading so please add the 15 seconds back, play/pause, 30 seconds forward buttons here. It’s frustrating that the pause button is so small and almost everyone opens the large audio player when all I want to do is pause the newsletter. Please also update the app to skip directly to the area being read and highlight what is being read out loud so people can quickly find their spots. If audio is being read of an old newsletter that isn’t the current one show in the screen, offer to pull up that newsletter. Lastly, what is with the order of playback speeds? Please adjust to have some kind of fly out menu to quickly select what we’d like out a playback button to increase or decrease the speed. Thanks!

Paid Subscription??. The app Page says 0 Nothing about Paying for Anything! It’s actually a great app, posts & materials! Interesting as well didn’t hear anything about, Paying Not only to use the App & all its Settings, yet also each provider, asks for how much would you like to pledge, before reading anything! Strange, That The Apple Store allows such, as securely 1 Payment Place, lesser problems! As a CISSP I see often! Thanks, great app

Beautiful, Polished Interface. As a long time reader of blogs and substackers, I was a skeptic when this app came out. Tech companies often get *one* thing right, and subsequent attempts fall short. Now, after using this app for several months, I am more than pleased. Substack created a *the best* unobtrusive reading experience. The app is a joy to use, it’s intuitive, and there’s absolutely zero mental friction.

Please add writer functionality to app not just reader. Is there a way to add the ability to update your substack by writing a post or doing a podcast or starting a chat or anything where you can work on your substack through the app? If not, can you please add that feature? Not as a new app, just update the existing one please. Having multiple apps from the same company is really inconvenient. 🫶🫶🫶

Put time to read estimates back into Inbox view. I really dislike the Read Next view I get for the Home page - too hard to see new articles by authors I follow. I can go to my Inbox and find the old more useful list of articles, but the time to read estimate for each article only appears in the Read Next view and is no longer shown on articles in my Inbox. As this is where I select articles to read I really miss seeing it in my Inbox. My 3 star rating is for the app after this change; the content gets 5 stars.

Terrible app. I have no idea how this has 5 stars, maybe I’m just unlucky. I downloaded this because of a newsletter I’m subscribed to via email and I pay a monthly fee for it. I thought it would be easier to use Substack but that proved incorrect. Could not sign up with my main email after several attempts so I had to use my burner account. Tried to update email but that’s not an option. Whatever, so I find Ancient Origins and subscribe, but it’s only the free version, so it didn’t even do me any good. Each time I try to sign in it makes me send a link to my email, because it never gave me the option to create a password. This stole 20 minutes of my life that I won’t get back. Deleted and done.

Enjoyable app. I do hit and miss reading on Substack. I subscribe to a few writers and happily enjoy infrequent free posts from others. But it has been difficult to keep up my reading in an organized fashion. This app, however, provides a clean and enjoyable reading experience. I leave the emails alone, and read the articles here. I am sure Substack planned it this way, that I now value their distributed content more than before. If you read their stuff, get this app.

Substack Review. Still finding my way. Joined specifically to read an article by Mary Katherine Ham. Picked a few others. I am on the free version which seems to be fine. I would be willing to support some writers by subscribing to the pay side…but…I don’t know enough yet, and IF it is $4-5 bucks a month and I subscribed to say 20…my math says that’s a half tank of gas here in Biden’s America. Maybe a buck or two each or a limit on per month views. Dunno. Still figuring it out. So far so good.

Freedom/Liberty/Substack. Look to what our Founding Fathers had to do in order to get information to the masses, under the noses of the autocratic rule of King George III of Great Britain! The Patriots held secret meetings & wrote pamphlets, & other things. After the Revolution, the First Amendment was adopted, the Right to Free Speech! We still have that Right today, but in the Information Age of the internet, we again have the need to disseminate information “secretly” because of government/private collusion to censor Free Speech. Substack is a wonderful means to share ideas and information in a Free-Speech forum.

Some UX issues, otherwise good. My main issue with the app is that whenever someone replies in a discussion thread, and I tap the comment from my notifications section (in-app) to open it and read, it brings me to the main discussion page. I have to wade through and find the exact comment - every. single. time. This doesn’t happen on the browser version on desktop, so I’m not sure what the issue is. It makes following and having conversations wildly difficult. If this is fixed, I’ll gladly change my rating to a 5/5, because otherwise the app is great.

First Impressions. New to Substack and a baby boomer, one who as a flawed human being recognized his need for a rescuer, a redeemer and protector of his soul I turned to the author of perfect love and giver of wisdom. He first starting by revealing in increments the depths of that love for me exemplified by the sacrifice of His only Son as the redeemer of my soul. He is the one who also gives wisdom. Liberally and without holding back. The first and second ‘baby steps’ began in humility with the recognition of my broken and flawed state and respect for Him the author of love and life. He gives men wisdom who seek that and that’s is why I’m here. To gain wisdom.

I START MY DAY…. I admire courage, especially when the Courageous are “…the voice of one calling in the wilderness”, the voice that continues calling in spite of ridicule from their “peers”, “cancellations”, loss of employment, vicious attacks from most media pundits whose goals have become indoctrination rather than investigation, not to mention the government who no longer speaks to “we, the people”, but rather to social media—under the table, of course. SUBSTACK provides a platform for the Courageous—the Berensons, the Malones, the actual experts whose one goal is truth-telling for an audience seeking just that…TRUTH.

The mis-sorting issue has been fixed; Thank You. My previous negative review (which I’ve now deleted) no longer applies, as sorting has now been returned to reverse chronological order (newest posts at the top), as it should be (and as it had been originally). I’m thankful that the team responded to user feedback, and fixed what apparently was a bug, rather than an intentional change. Kudos to the engineer(s)!

Authors are great app was 3 star now 1. All the authors I follow are wonderful. The app was 3 star before this update this week but now it’s 1 star. The reason is… all of the articles after I read them are still there in my thread. Now they don’t even say READ they just show as if I haven’t read them. At giving does nothing but use my memory and there isn’t a way that I see to remove them from my archive. Please… once it says 100% read, which it doesn’t anymore, can you move them off my page so if I need it I can go back to that authors page. Thanks.

I love the platform BUT…. …PLEASE fix the notification feature. When I click on the notification that someone liked or replied to one of my comments, sometimes it takes me directly to the comment in question, but more often than not, it takes me to the beginning of the Comments section. I then gave to scroll down to read a reply—which is incredibly annoying when there are hundreds of comments. A private message feature would also be much appreciated. Thanks for a fantastic platform!!!

Strength and Courage. I am intrigued and overwhelmed with the information that Matt is providing. It scares me that it was so easy for Twitter employees to hand over information to the FBI. It astonishes me how many agencies are involved. It’s hard for me to believe that our future is in the hands of people who have no idea what freedom represents. I am so proud and feel very close in heart to Matt almost like he could be a son that I want to protect. Matt has tremendous strength and courage in this undertaking. I applaud him every step of the way.

A Place to Breathe. It should never take such a diligent search to learn all sides of a topic but it does. Substack provides a resource for understanding, facts and choices from voices silenced by irrational, purposefully ignorant mob mentality. We never must allow others to force their will on our lives. We calmly gather information, assess what is true and what is not and sweep it out of our lives. It is no longer a consideration. Calmly, purposefully, step out of the vortex of lies and suppression of truth. That cannot be done when facts are suppressed as the profit driven forces are pressuring us to do every minute of every day. Embrace your intelligence and calmly decide the most healthful course in your life. It is your life, no one else's. Our only allegiance is to our Creator to whom we look for guidance throughout our lives.

Disappointing Update. Big fan of Substack - both as an app and as a community/business. Not a great fan of the update, but I can get past the desire to look like the cool kids with annoying big blocks of “Read next”. But two things are big flaws: First, the sorting algorithm for the Inbox makes no sense at all. Articles from weeks ago, many of them already read, randomly pop to the top of the inbox. This makes it hard to figure out what I really do need to “Read next”. It would be great if the sort order could be controlled by the user, but at least make it sane! The second problem is that there doesn’t se to be a place for user feedback. I’ve looked in settings, and looked on the web, and the only option I seem to have for getting feedback to Substack is via a negative review. That’s a shame. Great concept - great product - lousy update - lousy communication channels. Hoping for better on the future.

Half baked, but well intentioned. It’s a good reader and works very well for reading Substack publications. You cannot edit or create publication “stacks” from this app, which is a missed opportunity I think. The new Notes feature is a nice touch, but I experience app crashes when scrolling the timeline. I can’t edit notes or copy the text from them, which are considerable UI oversights. The app itself runs flawlessly otherwise and is very lightweight, and does what it says on the label.

Important To All Intelligent Think for themseves. We appreciate you the last two years I want to thank you for the effort and time that you put in to present this information to us. For anyone who is a person who thinks for them self, and is a rationalst who purposes deduction, and an active mind, deducing why? Knowledge is the ammunition which arms us to be able to fight in a civilized manner. So, thank you sir for sharing your knowledge.

excellent alternative to other social media platforms. substack has always been a great home for writers who don’t want a character limit or to have to play the algorithm game. I appreciate the work that went into this great app and the great reading experience it provides. It really changes the game — I have all my substack emails filtered into the trash, but check this app multiple times per day. thanks substack!

Substack is fine, just don’t use the app. My main complaint is that when you go on the app, you don’t immediately see the latest from your paid subscription(s). This could be because I unsubscribed from email notifications, and my substack inbox reflects that. I’m not sure, but it should not work that way. The latest post from your paid subscription should be immediate and front and center, not behind 3-4 clicks. Also their video player could use a few options to match the features of every other single video player online, like LANDSCAPE VIEW. Right now, I use a web browser instead of the app.

So far... so good.. I'm a new reader of Substack, and of course living within an echo chamber of my own devising. But I lookforward to reading the commentary. And they are well written pieces. Both confirming some of my beliefs while challenging others and making me think. Thinking and considering other ideas is an unalloyed good thing. So Substack is definitely on the right path in the service they offer. Let's see how this plays out over time!

HRC & RR. Will not be reading on FB as I’m taking a break from it but happy to still read both of them on this app. They are too spot on to take a break from, which I’ve done with most news media, which focuses too much time of the orange menaces antics & lies instead of the positive results of the last 3 yrs. The Rep party/politicians are responsible by being enablers of the o.m., however, media needs to own up to their contribution to his presence on media by their constant coverage, even if it is not newsworthy. Big bucks from advertisers trumps reporting “news.”

New Update. The new update ruins the app for me, there is no way to make a new post on my substack through the app. I am only left with the option of typing in a new note, what is the point of the notes? I just want to be able to make posts to my substack while I’m on the go. The main reason for me having the app on my phone is to be able to make a post on my substack while I’m on the go, inspiration strikes, and I’m not near my computer. The new update either deleted the option to make a new post or hid the option under the new interface. This is a good example of a bad iteration of UI/UX.

Judi (retired nurse). I’m not much of a writer, in fact I’m terrible at it but I must say this is another phenomenal article by Steve Kirsch about what is really happening! I’m printing it and going to try getting it delivered to pediatricians at my local Kaiser. I’m definitely going to pass it out at Covid “vaccine” clinics. People need to know the truth, since they definitely are NOT getting it from the CDC, the FDA, or tragically from their own doctors!

*COMICS*Substacks. Started on the Substack app specifically to follow my favorite comicbook writers, including Scott Snyder [BATMAN, WYTCHES] at Our Best Jackett, Kelly Sue DeConnick [CAPTAIN MARVEL, WONDER WOMAN HISTORIA] at Milkfed Dispatches, and Donny Cates [DOCTOR STRANGE, VENOM] at KLC / Kids Love Chains. The Substack app has been great for following and interaction, including reading text posts, listening to audio posts, and communicating via chat in real time. So glad these creators are here on the platform, and that the Substack app is facilitating such deep interaction. ***** 5 STARS!

To Dr Robert Malone. Just listened to your 5GW article. Yes, most definitely we are inside of the machine of psychological warfare. I agree with you , but at the end you said that religion was our friend and was helpful in developing personal sovereignty. Yes and no, mass religion is also being used by 5GW technology, to confuse the populist. 5GW technicians can use it to manipulate the populists. I say this as a Bible believing Christian, mass religion is conspiring with the globalist deep state. The money is so intoxicating!
