Ratings and reviews

Not a good android app. Can't switch to landscape. There isn't full screen in video player, so I can't have a small overlay video player overtop my other apps. Love the service. Hate the app as it currently is. I am forced to watch videos through my email. But they often freeze the picture when I navigate the playback position. I believe that an application should improve the ability to access the content and not hinder it. I am sure it will improve eventually. But as is, I have no use for this.

Substack is a great platform, used by an ever increasing range of amazing writers, covering every topic and genre imaginable. The challenge is limiting how many newsletters to subscribe to! it's really helpful that audio was added this year, which really helps, because sometimes there's not enough time to read everything, but listening can be enjoyed while doing other activities.

I periodically install the app to see if the reading experience has improved. Still the menue pops down over the top lines of text. Still inadvertently selected text can't be unselected by clicking away. Still no option to enlarge the font. The web experience on mobile (Firefox) is still also poor. Why haven't you implemented chat on web? Why can't we turn off the notes feature? The comments section doesn't do long threads well, the paging works poorly and often you end up back on page 1.
