Ratings and reviews

Love the app. Easy to use for both writing and reading. Especially appreciate the ability to listen to articles using the audio option. Do you have a question though. Trying to follow different writers on other platforms such as X and Instagram and get error messages. Browser no longer supported or just a very messed up page. Seems to work on the computer though and these are problems seem to only come from the mobile app. I hope there's a way to fix it.

This app has been very frustrating to use so far. There's very little that it has to get right, mainly just saving articles, archiving articles, and removing articles. But since I started using the paid version of the app, I've continued to have problems with saved articles coming back to my list after being deleted, or not showing up in my archive when I choose to archive the article. I really hope that the developers could sort out these syncing issues.

Content is amazing, and you can cater it to exactly what your interests are. The ONLY reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is if you don't pay for the app you are limited to how many articles you can read... I wish this app was able to figure out other ways to generate income (e.g. through ads) so it could be used as much as possible when you're ballin on a budget
