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.

Great content, but the app UX isn't very good. Missing features such as "Define" (dictionary) highlighted text. Highted txt only has option to "Copy" or "restack" and can't be cleared without selecting one of the options. And that damn header sliding down as I scroll DOWN is really annoying.

It has potential but needs a lot of work. Even the search bat doesn't function well. I'm trying to find articles on a particular topic, but when I use the search bar to find posts about it, it doesn't bring up a single related article. If I Google the topic, it brings up lots of substack articles, most of which have the topic in the title.
