New to the app, I’ve been impressed with its variety and ease of use. Bite sized chunks of brain food - three to five times a day - provide valuable energy and clarity. Well done.

You always pull me out of a rut and get me going. Entrepreneurship and working on my own needs a lot of clear headed thinking and you provide that. Thanks
Great app, but offline reading experience is less than stellar

I am a paid Medium subscriber. Totally love the platform and the app. There is just so much good content and UX is very well thought through. One annoying thing that happens often is the reading list doesn’t load when the app is disconnected from the internet. C’mon, guys, this is the whole point of the reading list! Imagine bookmarking 40 articles to read on a 7-hour trans-Atlantic flight without WiFi only to discover the dreaded “something went wrong” message and have 0 articles available for reading. Incredibly frustrating. That’s -1 star. Another thing is that due to lazy loading, the bookmarked articles don’t have images in them unless you have actually opened and read the articles. Sometimes these images are important as they include diagrams, tables and other relevant info. That’s -1 star. Fix these and the app gets 5 stars!
What happened.

I have been receiving the daily articles from Medium for about 18 months. Originally I found them to be very interesting and even informative.I noticed it was starting to look really trashy so I looked at my list of interests and tweaked it a bit to see if that would help. It did not. As an example I put science, photography, leadership and marketing as some topics of interest. You know what I get. Trash related to the sort of topics you would expect from the some rage at the grocery store. Sex, how to lie to a significant other and get away with it, best sexual positions. Donald Trump is a hot topic from Medium and I get it but not one I targeted. The man is a moron! So. I will allow my subscription to run its course and see if it improves but right now it is a paid subscription to the national enquirer was far as I can tell. And I will not review if this continues. Two stars because one was a little harsh.
We've made performance improvements and bug fixes to give you a smoother reading experience.
