Leave a Review Substack
Won’t open with email
When I attempt to sign in with a link sent to my email, the app never opens up. Not sure what I’m missing here with all the other good reviews - I can’t even get it to opennbnz17
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.Show lessI Like Their Old Stuff
Good start but needs search
I love substack but am ambivalent about the app. The app has reduced my email inbox clutter, but the lack of a search-within-archive is a pain. When I received my subscriptions via email, I could easily search for and find a stack I needed to refer to, but in the app this does not yet seem possible: instead the search function delivers suggested substack providers to subscribe to, rather than the article I need. 5 stars to come once this lack of functionality is fixed.Show lessHhdhgfgy
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!)Show lessElizabethTG
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…Show lessDude0u812
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!Show lessJstargate
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.Show lessbroyce
Best news available
I find this is now my go to for news and current events. Mainstream media is now obviously compromised, paid for and unwatchable for anyone with an ounce of knowledge. It’s all single narrative, agenda driven nonsense. Journalism as we knew it is dead, this is the answer!
What’s best about Substack is you can form a trust circle with independent journalists who you can confirm have been correct on a range of issues and report with unbiased content and sources. So far I’ve found no issues with censorship etc.
Love it!Show lessDinj13
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.Show lessMary Belle Snow
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!Blasé85
