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.

It's just OK. My biggest beef is that when scrolling through stories on my phone, I'm CONSTANTLY highlighting sections inadvertently, and there's no way for me to un-highlight them from within the app - seems I have to go to Medium on my computer to do that. If I can't un-highlight, then you should just disable this on the app - it's annoying enough that I often don't bother finishing stories. If someone really wants to highlight something, they can use the regular copy & paste function.
