Leave a Review Substack
Appreciate this app and the developers
Appreciate the opportunity to hear the intelligent, researched and truly scientific and scholarly views on Substack. So important that we support and use these new platforms as others crumble and kneel to Tyrants.Tracy@Abundance Bliss
Navigation & Notifications
I think Substack is a great idea and a great platform, but it just needs a few tweaks.
Navigation. It’s a little confusing and not intuitive. I also don’t like that if I choose to follow someone instead of subscribe, there’s no straightforward way to find them. I don’t want to just randomly subscribe to anyone pushing words onto the net. Some people I want to see a little more growth and quality but still have them on my radar.
My problem with notifications is that they’ll switch back to email from push if I don't visit Substack. I don’t want more emails and my life doesn’t revolve around apps. I think of Substack as “higher quality” in thought, but “pushy” behavior like this reminds me of a sleazy car salesman. If I’m not visiting Substack as often as YOU want, don’t change a setting and then start spamming my email. Become the platform that people CHOOSE to come back to. My recommendation is start with the above and make navigation more intuitive.Show lessPorta-Morty
Only one voice?
The only voice I can choose for playback is an American-Asian female voice. It takes the impact away from some stories where a male is meant to be speaking. Is there any way we could have a choice of Narrator styles and Nationalities?btnkj

Website isn't as bad as this app
I have read occasional articles by a few writers but resisted getting involved with Substack because the I found the website unappealing to use. I had a bit of spare time so I thought I would give the app a try.
I subscribed to a couple of writers whose articles I had read but despite them having written articles in the past week, my (Following) feed shows that their latest was 95 days ago! The only way to find their articles was to go to my subscriptions and open their page there. At least on the website, even though articles don't appear in my feed either, there is a button link to get to them a bit more quickly.
Maybe it is because I am a bit old school and that I like to be in control but it seems that social media platforms are more about promoting than delivering and having stuff that I am not interested in shoved in my face rather than showing me what I want to see is like having unwanted sales calls when I am busy.
I wondered why I seem to be amongst the few who gave a low rating but then realised that most of those who have rated it highly are actually commenting on the content rather than the app itself.
Anyway, it looks like it is back to X/Twitter where I at least have a bit of say in what I see and will simply open Substack article links there.Show lessOkulo

Encouraged
Don’t know what to say. Feel encouraged that someone out there is fighting for me asI just can’t. Live alone since ME broke up my twenty year relationship over 20 years ago. Contracted this disease in 1990. Am now 77 and live totally alone in a 1st floor ex-council flat. My condition is medium and entering severe. In bed 90 % of time. I find no use from my doctors ever though some have shown compassion. Not all and all I believe have no conprehension. I am my sole carer and was even in my relationship. Good to know you exist. But don’t know how it can help me. I have no more fight in me.Show lessHalfbed-Halfman
Poor user interface
App is functional-ish on mobile devices. Current version of the app is making me log in every single time I try and open a PDF from the creators I pay subscriptions too which is EXTREMELY frustrating. Irritating to use the app and if I didn’t have to I wouldn’t.madsdougggg
Exciting times
As ever, a excellent read Paul, I agree with most of your post, I think FSG have pulled another rabbit in Arne, Jurgen gave us everything he said he would, including leaving the club in a very healthy position,
As brilliant as Jurgen was/is, Arne is more hands on and can give those who need it that extra bit of confidence,
I’m excited by what I’ve seen thus far albeit we have yet to be properly tested, but the signs are very good, it looks like we’ll press with more purpose perhaps more methodical, he has the a tool box full of the right tools and with a couple of additions I honestly can see us challenging for major honours, yes, even this early in our transitional season,
We weren’t too far away last season under the burden of Jurgen’s last hurrah, I felt his bombshell actually had the adverse reaction he hoped it would, but that’s gone now and we have potentially a squad capable of taking those other two horses to the finishing line, again, and who knows who’s nose will cross that line in front??
Would you bet against us ??

Great for reading
The app is catered to the readers. So it is a front end with ever developing features. It works well for me as a reader every time I want to read more after getting an email.
I would also like to have a back-end app for the writers. Shutterstock would be a good example: an app for publishers, another one for the contributors.Show lessQueen of Spades 123
