Ratings and reviews

I love this app for a few reasons. First, it's minimalist so the reader doesn't have all the distractions that a browser gives us by it's nature. Second, the layout and the menu make it easy to select exactly what you want to see, again, without distractions. And third, I just enjoy Medium, period. No matter your interest or niche of the day, you can find it, easily, on Medium. The low price of $5/month is affordable for most and the benefits are worth more than that.

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.

I find this to be a somewhat tedious app to work with. The biggest issue is the pop-the-stack mentality, meaning that if I pursue a series of interesting articles, I can find myself 5 or 10 layers down and there's no home button - just the back button moving me one step at a time. Why? Sometimes it's faster to simply quit the app to get to the home page. Similarly, in spite of the endless scroll model, there is no "top" button to let me go to the top of the page.
