Ratings and reviews

The Bulwark is great for articles and videos. This app needs some work in the realm of video playback though. Fullscreen videos scale poorly on my device and most of it gets cut off. Video playback with the screen off would also be nice. (sometimes I need to put the phone in my pocket for a couple minutes and would like to not need to jump over to the Substack app to keep listening) The video download also does not appear to work. Access to video comments appears to be nonexistent.

Just barely signed in, and I like it already, for the way content is categorized and presented chronologically. Watching, reading and listening across different podcast subs and substack, was very clunky and attention consuming. Well done. EDIT: can't seem to control skipping fwd/back when listening via Bluetooth device, as one can with say, Pandora. that's part of what makes listening on substack, well, suboptimal.

HUGE gain over Substack! I hate the unnavigable Substack app with the fire of a thousand suns and was considering giving up my Bulwark+ subscription because of the frustrations. Just set up all my preferences in this new Bulwark app and everything worked well! Notifications, feed, viewing videos. I was having to find the Bulwark content scattered all over on Amazon podcasts, YouTube podcasts, the website, etc. because Substack is so horrible. But now it's all in one place and easy to organize!!!
