Ratings and reviews

After entering replying on email, entering the name, got to notification... it got frozen. After several attempts, the same page opened & and is still frozen. Is this a paid app? On Google Play under the name, it doesn't mention it is the subscription app,but on the Q & A page, when first opened the page, it says it. Disappointed? Yes! Uninstalling it? Yes! Why not mention it? It is a subscription. Do not install if you can't afford it. The truth.

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.

Great content, Terrible app. Bad enough that clicking a link in Android's notification rarely opens the proper article (usually opens the last read), and the interface and search are clunky and unintuitive, but the audio player is absolutely ATROCIOUS! Play and pause, with ONLY A SLIDER to drag for skipping forward/back in a 1 hr podcast? You're joking, right? Previously this app at least had the mini-interface for the player on the lock screen and notification that had skip buttons. No more!
