Great platform for new writers

Have been placing writings on Facebook and rarely hear any responses, really happy that medium offers people just starting to write, a means to reach people. Thank you for a great opportunity.

Doesn’t work correctly

Every time you open the app, it gives an error saying something about purchases basically giving some sort of error. Message reached out to customer support no response that the app is pretty much just broken that it keeps giving an error saying memberships or purchases on available or something content not available.
