It's time to get more from what you read. 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.

You have NO reason to access my friend list or other personal information. Uninstalled immediately! Too bad as this sounds like the kind of news app I would appreciate. Not now!

I love medium and it pains me to give it two stars but the fact that it's not updated to support the new series functionality is a huge flaw for me. I was ecstatic about the idea and couldn't wait to experiment with it. Unfortunately, if you're on Android you can't create a series, view the videos included in a series, or fully experience the parallax images in a series. I'll rate the app five stars when it's fixed but for now I can't justify anything higher than a 2 star rating.

The app is good. I medium became a member from last month and the feed became bad and I don't know how to get the old medium feed. Update: I am glad to receive my old feed back! Even though you are a member you just need to switch off the new feed option from settings. That's it!

Awesome app!!!! I love it! Why did i not know about this sooner??? Don't hesitate, just get it and get it now! If u enjoy reading about different things by some really great people, get this app. If u want to write, and have for a long time, this is the app to get. Lots of inspiration to write. If u are among those that want to write in the future, this wil be the one decision u won't regret!!!

The (at least for now, members only) offline reading list is flaky. When you need it, it won't load unless you go back and forth multiple times, and the saved articles are not fully available (viz.images). The AM/PM/eve editions often contain articles one's already read and archived.

Well made and I'm glad to see it works in landscape for large tablets. Forcing portrait on a 10" was very awkward. This is better. But it still forces portrait in the new Series tab.

Mostly great all-around, but the app is still sketchy sometimes in its handling of deep links from the web, and like many Android apps, doesn't implement up vs back navigation correctly.
Practical useless on my gadget. It can't sign in. I created my account with Facebook, when I try to sign in using the Facebook link, it get stock on a page that has the same picture as the cover-headed picture of this app store.
Really like the variety of articles, viewpoints and information that medium provides. It helps to sift the wheat from the chaff when modern media outlets are becoming less objective and less reliable...
Excellent histories, but the UI is ok, and the login with a Google account, forced you to access your contacts, even when you can deny it (but doesn't open the app if you do so)
I discovered Medium about a month or two ago and I got hooked. Really good content to read and I get an email sent to me every morning. Loving this site and app. Works great
The recommendations can be improved. It's always the same type until it becomes annoying
Terrific app. The content is great and it encourges you to write as well. Well worth the time. There aren't any noticeable bugs in the free version. The content is on point and recommendations are good too. A love letter for readers and non-readers too. The variety of content is vast.
The app is nice enough the way it is, but could use more features like automatically making the latest articles from followed authors available for offline reading.
My favorite and go to app for articles ranging from Science to short stories. I spend at least 2 hours a day reading through articles written by people I follow.
Love it! Easy for on the go, learns what I'm interested in to save me time when I don't want to browse, and doesn't spam me or my inbox.
This is a great platform, but as far as the app is concerned it is inferior to the iOS version - mainly the navigation. I do understand that is an issue with Android apps in general though.
Overall Great App...but it should comply and perform like website....for example - creating stories in App itself.
Medium has redefined and refined the way I consume content online. Awesome app!
Apparently, app cannot be used without granting permission to access contacts. So just another POS app where I am the product, and you are the virus
Really enjoy using using medium. A good way to read exciting posts that aren't news related (sometimes) but great all the same. Absolutely love it. Thanks Ev!
Cant even login.. support not respond when i email my issue..
I would say that the app version is bad in my phone. Bookmark is not working, so I lost all articles that I've read. Some pages also buggy. Then, I sometimes found force close
The app is great, but somehow 80% of the recommended stories are by the same Magazine
As one of the other reviewer mentioned; I did not understand the NEED to access my personal information & CONTACTS.. thanks but no thanks... Uninstalling...
Option to highlight is sorely missed on the mobile app. Other than that the content is good.
So far good, but need some feature in this app to make better experience. Some of desktop feature not sync with app.
Why is there no widget? I end up using more feedly instead due to this shortcoming.
Nexus 5X. Android 7.1.2. Videos and images do not load. I'm unable to update my profile picture. I'm unable to link my Facebook account.
You have time?Try medium.It has got everything one needs for the wandering mind.
This app is amazing. I encourage everyone to have it. Content is great.
It's like a light gift that moves your thoughts in a direction that improves your life. Keep the good thing going!
I like the fact that they spam less notifications than they did before.
Love it. Great way to stay connected, read different view points and generally learn from others. Easy to navigate with great, swiftly-moving content.
This application is making me read like never before. I absolutely love it. I personally like the highlight feature.
Always a wealth of info and a source of inspiration. Great poets out there too.
