At Medium, we are creating a network that enables people to make an impression on others. To make them think or change their minds. To teach them something or connect emotionally. Where the quality of the idea matters, not the author’s qualifications. A place where conversation pushes ideas forward and words still matter.

Read
Create your Medium account, then scroll through your personalized reading list, custom-tailored to your interests based on what the people you follow on Medium are writing, reading, and recommending. If you are looking for something new to read, head over to Explore for a rotating selection of topical content.

Write
Start writing your draft in the app, and it will automatically sync to your drafts folder at Medium.com. You can also edit a published post from anywhere. Our editor is easy to use, with all the functionality of the web, right from your pocket.

React
Highlight a particular passage that speaks to you, or recommend it to your followers. Join the conversation by writing your own response to any post right from the bottom of the page.

It's a pretty good app for what is an excellent service. Still better than using the website for writers but probably not for readers Overall, if you're writing on medium it's essential. If you're not use the mobile site.

I always learn something new! I love this app. It allows you to connect to other people through their shared knowledge. In an article, you can see the top highlighted sections and see what people agree on. There's something for everyone and I recommend Medium. Get on the wagon!

Can't open without account I just wanted something to open medium links in a native app, but it doesn't open if I don't register an account. Uninstalling.

Slow startup The app is superb, very well done. The only problem is that slow startup time even on flagship phones.

I still can't login It's very troublesome. I am an one plus two user and even after the app update, I am unable to login. Please please Fix this.

Adithya Vemuri April 8, 2016

Excellent No other app like it. Love the interface. Pure reading experience.

Simas P April 9, 2016

Doesn't load articles The problem is that it is impossible to scroll down to the beginning of the particular publication's article list. It just stops at a certain article anddoesn't load more.

Felix Bubmann April 9, 2016

Medium has the best value stories, love it!

Javier ExpoCode April 7, 2016

Excellent application, cool design and Usability

Cool App

Peter Nimmo March 31, 2016

Freezes/Reloads continually Quite often certain stories cause an app restart, or reload of that page, now it is doing it with comments

I have some complaints, like I wish I could remove stories I dont like from my feed and I wish there was more content based on my interests....but I could and would and do spend hours upon hours reading articles..one thin I really love is that some cooments to stories I read are like articles themselves...It is really participatory..it feels like being a part of acommunity of writers.

Jerico Caesar Delfinado April 4, 2016

Medium itself as a service is great. But I don't think this is a great app to accompany the awesome service. This app doesn't work well with offline editing. It has to download the drafts every time I try to access them. I can't even read the stories I've visited once I go offline. Why make an app when all it does is act like a web browser? Seriously, work on better experience, guys. You already have a great service, put some heart into the mobile app!

Andrew Erickson April 1, 2016

Needs ability to paste This is a stellar app. The frequency of notifications is just right. I would love the ability to paste. It seems like a basic ability that's missing. The stats reinforce sharing. Clean, delightful profiles.

Pascal Mulwa April 3, 2016

Great app I'd recommend this app to anyone. Simplistic in design and user friendly. I have no complaints but with time will give my opinions on how to improve it.

Daniel Kivlehen April 5, 2016

Great Idea, Appalling Execution My first and most significant dislike about this app is the fact that my feed is bombarded with streams of racism. The only way to filter content is to block individual users, rather than block tags or keywords. Half of the articles in my feed are tagged, "white privilege." I don't want to read that, and the app won't allow me to cater my content based on my interests. I am literally at the mercy of the app, which fed me little more than racist rants. No, thank you. It could have been great, but...

Gemma Weirs March 29, 2016

It worked fine until recently But now it keeps crashing every time I open it. I've tried reinstalling the app and it worked ok for the first couple of times then resumed crashing when opened. HTC Desire 820

Rwik Kumar Dutta March 27, 2016

Love it and addicted to it Love this app... Highlight share comment bookmark... Convenient read, integrated YouTube video playback... This app is awesome!!! :)

Izzaz Iskandar April 3, 2016

Downgrading it to two stars since a month ago I haven't been able to log in to my account. No matter what I did. I uninstalled, reinstalled, even made a few factory resets to my phone. It wouldn't log me in, therefore I can't use the app. Is there any way I can fix this?

Mihir Parsani April 7, 2016

Good for readers, not if you're trying to publish. The copy paste feature for publishing doesn't seem to work for me.

Patrick Seamars April 1, 2016

Beautiful and simple app Just like the web platform, the Medium app is virtually flawless, beautiful and simple. It is most definitely the best way to read.

nandu menon March 28, 2016

Cannot sign up The Google+ sign up option is not working and email sign up too. There's no point in the app if I can't sign up and open it,is there? Edit : everything works fine through the website Update: Bug fixed. Thanks

A Medium Corporation March 26, 2016

Thanks for the feedback Nandu. If you pull down the latest update, we fixed a nasty bug that was causing this problem for some users. Please let us know if this fixes things for you and thank you for your patience :)

Olga Annenko April 7, 2016

Love the app Love it. The only problem I have with Medium - I cannot find my bookmarks! There's simply no path to them through the menu or dashboard. But this feature is missing in the browser version as well. And apart from that, the app is great, sometimes I even write my articles in it on the phone.

Richard Interval April 6, 2016

Terrific Reading Medium is the first blogging platform in awhile that I've really become invested in reading regularly. I highly recommend you download it, find a few people you like (Jon Westenberg is rightly popular), and enjoy all that you find.

Mathias Rekowski March 30, 2016

Awesome Space This app is awesome for sharing ideas, writings, stories, whatever you want to write. There are also so many talented users and it's fun to read their thoughts.

Paul Brown April 4, 2016

Fantastic It's awesome if you love reading and a clean design. Who doesn't like these things?

André Hugo March 28, 2016

Though provoking content I have put my finger on it yet but there's something about Medium that allows some good content to be produced. It's most likely the distraction free environment - something we're not use to as regular web users. I only follow a few feeds and I feel that's enough.

Yap Kwang Yik March 28, 2016

My priority reading and learning app nowadays! I'm always read medium articles in train, so it will be good if Medium app can know where I read until, so that I can continue later on, just like Pocket feature :)

ömer kantarcıoğlu March 29, 2016

Can't sign in Can't sign in with Google or Facebook. Useless edit: thanks guy, it's fixed now. I loved the app. There are great articles to read.

Great app Lots of interesting content. Automatic suggestions get better as you take the time to follow people whose writing you enjoy.

Rae Lanai March 27, 2016

Lovely This site is wonderful, and when I found the app, I was so relieved I could take it and read the amazing stories whenever. (:

Jim Parrillo March 27, 2016

Best News Aggregate EVER I can't believe how this app has such a laser focus on the articles that users are interested in. No stray junk - only the ones that interest me.
