Ratings and reviews

I'm going to let them have it because this has been going on for a long time after countless updates. When I unmark an article from my Reading List, I expect it gone for ever period, instead the articles keep showing up in my list and I have to untick them countless times before they disappear. Fix it!!! As far as the content/articles, they're the best.

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

I just found this app today and already love it! It has soooo many articles and most of them are short reads (5 minutes or less). You can save them for later or read right away. In the free edition, you're only allowed so many articles per month and it's not many, maybe 5 or 6 before it tells you you've exceeded your free limit for the month. Then to read any more you have to sign yo for the monthly or yearly plan. It costs either $5/mo or $60/yr. I'm starting with the $5/mo plan and then.....
