Ratings and reviews

I am loving Medium. I find a lot of the articles inspiring and intriguing. A lot of the articles that I read so far also has good practical advise I can apply in my own life and I find that very valuable. I personally look at the daily digest email and then bookmark the articles I want to read and then read them on the app when I get time. 5/5 great app!

It's a good app, articles tailored to your interests, the ability to engage with other medium members and you can write and post your own stories. Big drawback is you have to subscribe if you want to be able to read articles, and you don't know this until you've started reading something and one paragraph in it tells you you've reached your monthly quota and can't access any articles until next month. Not cool, similar apps don't do this and they should inform you that this is the case.

I already pay for a subscription for Medium. Almost every time I open the app to read a member only article, I keep getting asked to upgrade to a higher level. This is a ridiculous and non-sensical thing to do, but I guess Medium does not care about how annoying this is for already paid customers. Other than that, I enjoy reading the articles that I am interested in.
