Ratings and reviews

Medium has been amazing at giving me great articles to read and really help me learn some new skills, but I have a problem with the app that almost makes me want to uninstall it completely. When reading an article with coding blocks usually, I'll scroll to a position, let go, and then after a small delay (150-700ms) it jumps down almost a screens worth of text. When I scroll back up, it does it again... It's exhausting trying to read a whole article.

Used to be fab, then the dreaded updates... There used to be a time when you could transfer seamlessly from app to desktop and back. Send to a friend for edits and action edits all on the app. Now you can't even send a link to a draft from the app. Why do developers insist on 'updating' apps that work fine and break them in the process? The app is now unusable as a writer and not much better as a reader. Sort it out!!!

I love Medium as a platform so much that I've upgraded my account to a paid subscription, it's an amazing platform. Unfortunately, the biggest flaw this app suffers from is not being able to perform advanced searches to filter or sort results. The front page is great to discover new content that others find interesting, but I can't search by 'most recent', which means I can never seek out truly new and unseen content. Without that feature, people can't be better informed.
