  • mistakes matter - or not?

    Your subject here is familiar, although the explanation is appealing - but said appeal is substantially reduced (for me) by what appear to me to be several errors within this text? Yet, how do I know... perhaps those are deliberate. There's many and diverse reasons they could be ... and, I'll never know.

  • Great journalism, just one small hitch now with the app

    For some strange reason on one of my devices, it's saying I need to upgrade the app (without which I can't open it) but when I go to the App Store to do that, it says "not available in your country/region". Meanwhile this excellent app continues to be available to me on the other two devices. What's with?!?!*

  • Not available in Canada

    Notification that my Substack app needs updating. When I try it says it’s not available in my region. I’ve been using it for two years. Fix this bug please.
  • Wisdom should be shared

    When we find something interesting, helpful or just uplifting/funny it should be shared. SubStack is the easiest way to spread the good words and great ideas. BM
  • Sneaky User Manipulation

    The app refuses to show me ‘subscription’ links in-app. It will only email me subscription links to my email address. I WANT to subscribe through the app because I love how apple manages subscriptions (one single page where i can press ONE button and cancel).

    In short this app is manipulating users to subscribe outside the apple ecosystem. Just charge me a surcharge instead substack…

  • The Kaka

    Really love Bernard Hickey and his intelligent in depth analysis of the economy and NZ and international political situation. His Thursday Hoon is particularly good with a very cordial witty and serious interchange with experts on their field and excellent analysis. The Dawn Chorus each day is addictive and educational so much better than main stream political discourse. 10 plus stars for me.

  • Another Angel sent to me by Jesus

    My wife and best friend for about 35 years passed away October 15th. I have several angels who were sent to me by Jesus. Ricky Sinclair and the Miracle Place Church in Baker Louisiana being one of many. My FOREVER GIRL was an RN at the Mental Health Hospital in Jackson Louisiana. About 20 some years ago a patient pounded her into the ground and her health spiraled down hill. I took care of her the best I could but regret that I could have done much better. She is now standing straight up and suffering no more pain. I’ll love her until I’m dead and then be with her forever eternally. This is my goal. I don’t know what God’s plan is but I’m going with it the best I can spreading the word that the way to eternal life is to accept Jesus and the Way is through him! Dan Woldt shares a similar experience and my newly acquired Angel and is helping me. I’ll spread half of her ashes here in my newly created memorial garden and the other half at our home in Wisconsin. Those will be critically tearful events for me. I’ll be calling on all my ANGELS to help me. Thank you Dan. HAPPY AND SAD at the same time. DEFINITELY a PARADOX ie A seeming contradiction. Richard White

  • Header uploading is virtually impossible with no support options

    The new updates have made it essentially impossible to upload a header for your account. Even upon editing an image to fit the proportions. Images that previously worked are now not allowed, and from a coding perspective it seems completely nonsensical. For such a simple feature to be so impossible to navigate is beyond frustrating and the lack of options or remedies is insult to injury. Makes me want to find a new place to house my publications. Please consider letting us upload images outside of the required 1100px x 220px, and if they stretch so be it. Or at the very least allow the images that MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS to upload.
    Edit: After reading other reviews my highest advice is to fire your wildly incompetent coders, they are destroying your website and app and I will now definitely be finding a new place to upload my work. Sad to see a decent platform be demolished by crap tech hires.

  • Support violence

    Promoting hate speech in the platform is no good.
  • Interface is confusing and has put me off

    I really wanted to get involved but the none linear interface that doesn't make sense just caused me to feel lost. I am sorry to low star it but I have to move onto something else and I am disappointed having read that others have also said the same and yet the conflicting search and navigation is so alien, I can't see how I can function with it. I'll try again in a few months, maybe it'll change as it develops. If so the rating will go up.
