Ratings and reviews

Good to be able to have articles from my Substack subscriptions read aloud to me, but I can't stand that EVERY encounter with quotation marks says "end quote," both before & after the quote. This makes the listening experience very confusing, & there are no settings available to adjust it, and NO WAY to reach or request any kind of tech support. There is only a limited list of FAQs, none of which touch on this. Also, there's only a play/pause button in the app, & no back button or progress bar.

Awful experience. Videos don't have full screen mode. If you are watching a video and scroll down to see text, the video will stop! Not paused, but stopped, so then you'd have to scroll back up to the video and use progress slider to find the part where it stopped to continue watching.

Well designed with a sleek minimal look, and has very few bugs as far as I've seen. I would like it if they added more options to the highlight context menu (i.e., the menu that appears when you highlight text). Currently, the only option is "Copy," but it would be very helpful if they added a "Web Search" option so that users can easily highlight and look up things from articles without having to leave the app to look up the term.
