Long time writer revisiting after years
Love to see how the app has grown since I last wrote here. Sad to see that it’s not possible for writers to publish work for free and get compensated without being part of the Medium Partner Program. Still love the app though
The Sad Girl
💔 Review of a Sad Story: A Mother's Promise
The story is very sad and emotional. It teaches us that a mother's love is precious and cannot easily be replaced. The little girl’s pain shows how difficult it is to lose someone you love. The story reminds us to appreciate our parents and loved ones while they are still with us.
My opinion: I love this story because it teaches an important lesson about love, loss, and family. It touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes. 😭�

Medium really is something special
I’ve been using Medium since the first month it started. Over the years I’ve seen it get better and better, both through content creation and continuous updates, it really is the best it has ever been!
Pay now?
Hello there, wasn’t this app previously free?
If so, I can get a lot of these stories for free off the Internet. What side times we live in now. 😢

Medium is Posting Ads in My Poetry
Medium says they can’t do anything about the ads that now show up in between the stanzas of my poetry. I have been a subscribing member for years. This is preposterous. How and why post an ad in the middle of the stanzas? Adios Medium.
5 stars but still some hiccups.
Well we’ll see how this comes out. I’m dictating this. I’ve given it five stars but getting it online was fraught with hiccups on a Samsung phone and then again on my iPad. Whether this was due to the Medium app itself or other concerns to do with the android and Apple operating systems anyway I finally got here. Now of course the biggest problem is how do you actually get people to see and read what you write? So five stars yes but still some way to go.

App will not open from email links
They do not link to the app in their emails so articles ope. In the browser. The browser page no longer contains a link to open in app.

What a lifestyle switch, from
doom scrolling on social media learning nothing, to this. Incredible, paying an enormous debt of gratitude to the creators of this app, the writers, and the people around the world sharing knowledge and wisdom.

Mostly AI Articles
Most of the articles are all the cliche oversimplified things you can find for free on the internet. It’s like a weird sub par level of journalism but more aesthetic tumblr. Lots of opinion pieces with generic “6 books or quotes that changed my life” that can be AI generated for free at this point. The aesthetic of the posts are nice.

Document settings?
I joined hoping to contribute some of ideas and thoughts. Once I started reading an article the first thing I noticed were all the spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. The syntax was so confusing I wasn’t sure what the writer was trying to convey. I was curious so I went to the comments and every comment was commending the writer o. How great the article was and he had 3k something followers! The text was huge like it was for a “large print “ audience. Simply juvenile and read something like a seventh grade book report. It was just so weird. I cancelled my subscription like ten minutes after I subscribed. If this is the level of your writers, no wonder they hide out in this back room of an app.

Nice
Good platform
Worst App Ever!
I pay to use this! They canceled my account for no reason. They were not helpful. I ended up choosing not to renew.
So many choices
I usually resist subscribing because we all know everyone wants you to subscribe to everything these days, but there are just too many articles that I want to read on Medium. I spend too much time here. Way to go Medium!
Poor UX design
1) Allow user to provide feedback in app 2) Allow user to sign-in and read articles in browser (broken again) 3) Stop forcing the browser to open app as default
Personal Journal
Music is a Crazy Business.
Books
Great and informative
Great for deep thinkers
Where your thoughts become reality
Just about useless for me
I hate using the app. It’s fine for reading stories/articles but I manage several publications. I prefer to use the website because the app does not allow publication management and limited other functionality. However, if I try to manage the publications on the website, while also on a mobile device, it forces me to open the app where I cannot manage the publications. Beyond being worthless for my purposes, it is extremely frustrating.

Medium Read & Write Stories
My partner recommended and find it brilliant to contribute and enjoy other’s contributions! I would like to write and read about food and wine and entertainment but these categories were not shown and wish soon will be able to access as a true Foodie!
It’s excellent networking
Personally I love to write and Medium give me that opportunity to go!
