Ratings and reviews

Whenever you subscribe to a feeds content, all their past content does not show up in your inbox. This is extremely frustrating when opening the app for the first time because you have no content in your inbox (and it doesn't help you judge how frequently they post). Also when you archive a publication, it is not intuitive how to unarchive it. However, I have hope because the app is still new. I want to be able to receive posts from my subscriptions in my substack inbox without getting emails.

I used to like the app, but a recent update has made it so links are automatically shortened. This cuts off sentences mid-word, sometimes multiple times per post. This is completely unacceptable, and needs to be fixed immediately. If the author wanted to make the link shorter, they would have written their post that way. EDIT The issue with the links has been resolved!

Clean and tidy. It needs a feature to make it easier to share comics and pictures when you're not wanting to send the whole link (press and hold to save doesn't seem to work) but otherwise it's a great app. Also, the people at Substack are making an effort to be a decent company that promotes freedom without allowing the rampant chaos of some services that get.... hectic. I get most of my news from here now. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
