Reviews of Substack

Leave a Review Substack
  • Nonfunctional compared to website

    This app lacks basic functionality that is available on the website, namely:
    1) You cannot become a paid subscriber of a person/org through the app
    2) The app does not show you all the tabs of a news outlet on their page (but the equivalent mobile webpage does show this). Example: I want to watch a specific show from a specific news outlet. On the website, there is a tab with the name of the show, where all posts are available in order. On the app, you have to dig through all posts from the org in order to find the posting of the show that I want.
    3) (More of a gripe with Substack in general, this issue exists on the website as well): Sometimes a whole episode of a news show will show up in a post. I see the timestamp says it will last for 40 minutes. After clicking on it, it brings me to a 2 minute preview since the episode is only for paid subscribers. If that is the case, let me know before clicking on it

  • A bit of nuancing?: Job losses during COVID.…

    …were inevitably due to the onset and vicissitudes of the worldwide pandemic…though also exacerbated by President Trump’s genuinely clueless and confused leadership choices…particularly the belief that people needed to “not be too alarmed” in the face of a deadly disease that we (and he moreso) knew nothing about…a paternalistic error (that is, his assurances would protect us more that judicious scientific work). Cost us how many lives??!
    Kudos to Trump that he listened to whomever urged him to spend $$$$$ to get us vaccines.
    The “inflation” now seemingly blamed on Biden, was largely and necessarily sparked worldwide by the various efforts to keep ourselves alive and outrun the ravages of COVID…lots of $$$ spent by both Trump and Biden administrations
    My take is that we lagged behind other countries in managing the disease; probably helped the world lots in vaccine production and distribution; outdid other modern countries in finding financial stability in the face of inevitable inflation.

  • So slow

    I love the app but why’s the app so slow?? All other apps I’m on are usually quick but this one’s so slow to open and load
