Reading this was an absolute enjoyable experience! Rezma really writes brilliantly and expression herself in writing where you as the reader feel as though you’re experience the journey with them! I loved reading this piece and what a twist and turn! I wanted to continue!!! Felt like straight about of a Bollywood movie!!! THE drama !!! I want more!!! Xx

Conversation from visiting Florida by Graham Wardle and a friend

So very interesting talk, thanks to both of you and hope that one movie will be created from that talk.

Daily read

I recently deleted all social media, but missed my favourite news tellers. Was so pleased to find sunstack and have used it daily since.

My criticism is mainly it highlights content I've not just read, but liked and stacked. It shows me stuff that's old, like 4 or 5 weeks old, that, you've guessed it, I've already liked and stacked. I have to actively go looking for new stuff I subscribe to. I remove stuff from my homepage and it fills it with, yes, you've guessed right, stuff I've liked and restacked! It's like the app doesn't want me to see new stuff.

Apart from this, it's a pretty good app

Lots of potential, not really designed around the reader

While there is some great content, the search function is abysmal, and you can’t mark posts as ‘read’. So the algorithm keeps bringing posts you’ve already read back and presents them as ‘new’. A simple function to mark a post as read would be super valuable. Please fix that!!!

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

Can’t update, can’t open

Great app right until now. When opening I’m told to update, and can’t use it, however when tapping update the App Store tells me that it isn’t available in my country/region.

The most AUTHENTIC awakening reliable media channel ever

Authentic quality journalism that brings THE TRUTH that has been distorted by other mass media channels and platforms for way too long. I’m on a monthly subscription and worth every single penny!

Great way to get all the information

Substack is a great app that allows you to access all your content from one app.
