The app is still pretty buggy, and seems to be getting worse. I can no longer reply to an existing post in a chat thread. It instantly crashes. In the chat of a substack I subscribe to, it constantly asks me to "Join" to post. Often times, the button must be pushed multiple times, and even then it still might not work. Less critical bugs include chat emojis not displaying, randomly. And notifications can be slow, but they are getting more responsive.

App gives me all kinds of content providers who I have zero interest in. Videos constantly restart from the beginning even though I'm halfway through them. Absolutely no way to download the videos so that I can listen in the car without buffering or cutting out. I have no idea why I'm forced to take suggestions for content providers I do not subscribe to. The app is terrible but I subscribe to one provider and I only want to listen to his content
