  • Mary Trump

    Mary Trump tells it like it truly is. I have relatives that remember how horrible Donald Trump was in doing his best to get those 5 young teenagers convicted of a crime they did not commit..

    Thank you so very much for putting out Information on him.. one of my family members said he use to be in Albany, NY years ago working at a public school with children and she met him. I’ve tried to tell her gently Donald Trump was never in Albany, NY working under anyone in the school system for children .. but you know something I may be wrong maybe he did some type of intern work.. based on how he is now I can never believe that he worked in a public school helping any children..

    His own children seem like they fear him especially his sons. It’s sad..

    I really appreciate the writings that Mary Trump tried to get out to the public.. he has followers that no matter what truth is told about him they will not believe it.. he is not a good man and he definitely should not be President of these United States ever again.

    Thank you Mary Trump for all you do to get the message out there to people that will listen.. I’m hopeful that those that read your works will pass it on to others.. God bless you..

  • Frustrating

    This app was great until about a month ago, and in the past couple of days it has become unusable. My Inbox now displays my non-archived items in what appears to be a near-random but maybe chronological (?) order. Currently, the item at the top of my inbox is an article from June 10, followed by an article from a day ago that I saved, them followed by more articles from various dates in June, then July, etc. I have no idea why it’s not displaying—AS IT HAS ALWAYS DONE—in reverse chronological order, but it now appears entirely impossible to have any workflow to process new items as they come in on a single feed, as opposed to going to each subscription and reviewing the articles there. (I just reopened the app, and it appears that each time I open the app, it pulls a few more earlier items in: Now the top items in my feed are from June 8!) Even the Saved tab starts back in June and I have no idea where to find recent items I’ve saved other than by going to individual subscriptions.

    I guess I’ll just have to go back to reading on Feedbin or Readwise Reader.

  • Failure update - from basic level to frustrating

    It was a basic app to start - that’s fine, it’s the content - but now it localises the content you’re following into a block at the top and ‘stuff we think you might like’ dominates the screen - I looked for a feedback button but there was nothing on the website which tells you everything you need to know about product management.

  • Smiling from Colorado

    If I’m being honest, I’m a tad envious of this project. How wonderful, after being gone for so long to just emerge yourself in the presence of family. I feel like I can relate to you in the mere fact that I too have left the homeland of my relatives to embark on a journey far away from “home.” However, in the same breath feel I am where the Lord has called me to be and have complete peace. I am so happy to have found your page and so excited to see how it unfolds! I know many of your aunts, Crystal the most; a few of your uncles, mom and sisters. I vaguely remember your dad. I do remember the tragic day of his death. My heart broke for your sweet family. Nobody should have to endure such pain! May the tragedy turn to triumph as you get to know more about the man who you got to love for those 11 short years.
    Mitchell, what an incredible journey you’re on. Thanks for allowing people like myself along for the ride. May the Lord bless you on this beautiful journey!

  • Doesn’t work

    Downloaded the app, it made me sign in with my email, then emailed me a link, I hit the link and all I got was an endlessly spinning circle. Deleted the app, re-downloaded with the same none result. Troubleshooting FAQs gave no hint as to how to resolve the issue so I give up.
  • Long form journalism rocks!

    Short form journalism offered by legacy journalism sucks!

    As a frequent consumer of podcasts and Substack posts, I am better informed that at any time in my 72 year lifetime.

    Combine this evolution with the advances in large language modes like ChatGPT and you have a superior alternative to obtaining an expensive university degree.

    This is a great time to be alive for anyone who is a lifetime learner. It is also a requirement for all “knowledge workers” (the “laptop” crowd) who wish to compete successfully in the emerging Digital Age.

  • Freedom: Wake-Up Peter, Acts12:5-17

    ❤️‍🔥✝️🙏🏼 Before I got out of bed this morning, The HOLY SPIRIT opened my eyes to what’s been going on in my life, as far back as I can remember; I’m on my 76 year.
    The lesson HE opened my eyes to today. “ I’ve given you The Power to Subdue this earth. After an hour of contemplating how I’m going to Subdue this mess I’m living in; and, physically unable to grab this bull by the horns and tackle it to the grown; I started to defeat myself, before I even got out of bed.
    Then, I picked up this phone. The First thing I see,, is this message. A 100% Confirmation from my my DADDY in HEAVEN Telling me, I’m HIS & HIS Alone❣️ Secondly, seeing everything i had just talked about with HIM, written before my eyes; and, the Answer to the question I had asked HIM, how am I going to accomplish this? HIS Response, “ Give it to me❣️❣️❣️
    Then, I was going to share this message with my family; but, the App Review popped up. I ended up here. My mind went to, Peter being awakened by The Angel telling him to get up, his shackles are off, and the prison gate is wide open, I’m pretty sure a few other prisoners got out, too😊

    Thank You LORD, GOD ALMIGHTY: FATHER ❤️‍🔥, SON/JESÚS The CHRIST✝️, HOLY SPIRIT 🕊
    🙏🏼Maranatha, Maranatha Come LORD ❤️✝️❤️

  • Great phone app, OK tablet app

    I prefer to read my subscribed Substacks in email, but I find the app super useful for finding previous posts, missed details, etc. However, it’s really only great on my phone. The iPad app is, well, it’s a giant iPhone app. No sidebar, no navigation, no taking advantage of the larger screen and additional input methods. Sure it’s fine for reading in portrait mode, but when you’re looking for something, trying to catch up on a bunch of subscriptions, etc., I find myself wanting something more akin to the Apple News app.

    Also, the “you haven’t enabled notifications” pop-over video you can’t close is annoying. Why not the standard “please enable notifications” dialog that every other app uses so I can tell it no right there?

  • Nothing sub About it

    I remember saving babysitting money for the release date of Stephen King’s latest. The anticipation building on the drive to the mall. The moment of panic when I saw the size of the crowd at B. Dalton. What if they were sold out already?! The immense relief when I got my hands on it. How I would try to read slower and slower as I got closer to the end. Rationing out every last bit because I didn’t know how long it would be until more was coming. How cool would it have been to be able to read new stuff almost as soon as the thoughts crossed his mind? To be able to tell him that I cherished every sentence? How much sooner would I have started writing, if I had not only him but other writers to learn from and share dreams with? So very grateful for this opportunity and the platform that has provided it!!

  • Free Trial? Check your CC statement or they will charge you

    Substack continued to charge me for months after I did a free trial. I cancelled and even changed my CC number but they somehow got me new card details and continued charging me.

    I provided CC statements proving the charges and the card number and they basically denied they were charging me.

    Had to open a fraud file with my provider and cancel my card.

    Beware before you give them your card info and make sure to check your statement each month to make sure they are not fraudulently charging you.
