Ratings and reviews

I used to love this app but after the latest update where they removed the option to write stories and save drafts, I really find it not of much use. It was easier to write blogs in the app as it was always handy and I could just jot down whenever I had some new thought for the blog. I don't find it convenient to write on the web browser. Please bring back the draft feature. 🙏

It used to be the go to place for any genre of articles and was really exciting and engrossing. But now it is just a commercial app. Paywalled articles everywhere. You need to be a member to read even a small how to article and let's not get started on the recommendations which are just paid articles now. I know some of my friends write excellent articles on interesting topics and publish them to be read without a membership and they are never recommended. It's a shame how apps get commercial.

I love this app to be honest, but I am giving it 4 start and that's because there are things, I would like medium to change it for the best. One thing is that ,when you become a paid member and you have downloaded few articles while you are still a member, it allows you to read the downloaded article even if you are offline, but if your member subscription is finished, you don't get excess to the downloaded article anymore, even the article you wrote,And I think that thing really annoys me.
