Ratings and reviews

I haven't been able to afford the paid version of Medium so I use the free version. It's a bit hard to use when searching and filtering for stories that non members can read - at least on the app. Otherwise, there's a diverse range of content and I like the ease and simplicity of using the app. I would recommend it to people to can pay for it (of which I have very few in my own circle)

Solid three for me. The articles in here are wonderful, the writers are so full of life and I think it's a wonderful platform to let down your writing skills. My problem is the accessibility, it is so limited. The many articles I'd like to read with intriguing titles are always members only and I believe it's quite unfair. The layout is simple and easy to navigate but the reason I cut back with the two stars is the absolute limited accessibility.

The app works great and is a better experience than the browser. But I'm so-so on Medium itself. I appreciate their value. It's an awesome ad free platform that provides beginning authors with an audience. But, its utility is somewhat limited for me. It's pretty cool if you wanna zone out with an eclectic library of articles, but I don't really do that. Mostly, I want a specific subject, but it's not ideal for searching, plus articles are partially blocked about 80% of time in free version
