Ratings and Reviews
Highly recommended
If you’re looking for an alternative option to find your true fans and monetize your writing skills at the same time, the Substack app is a great app to start. It provides writers the opportunity to showcase their creative writing talents and stories without complicating things. It’s simple to install and use. Definitely a writer must-have! ❤️
Useless for creators
The Substack iOS/iPadOS app offers an excellent reading experience for newsletter enthusiasts. The intuitive design and user interface make browsing and reading content a pleasure.
Unfortunately, the app falls short when it comes to newsletter creation. Creators do not have the necessary tools to create their content directly within the app. This forces them to continue using the browser, which impacts the overall experience.
While the app does provide some features for managing subscribers and content, essential tools for newsletter creation are missing. The absence of a comprehensive editor function is regrettable and makes the features available in the app more of a nice gimmick than a complete replacement for the browser.
Overall, the Substack app is recommended for its reading qualities, but for creators who want to create their newsletters, it remains an useless solution with plenty of room for improvement.
No way to report bugs
There is no way on the substack website, app, or any contact email to report bugs. That’s certainly a confident move. In any case, I’m reporting here in hope it can get through.
I have lost the majority of my subscriptions. One day they just weren’t there, save for my three paid for subs and one free sub. I used to have roughly half a dozen unpaid subs, among them some of my favourite writers. They are all gone, and I need to search through and resubscribe.
Further, my feed has stopped updating. There are new posts from what subs have remained, I can see them directly on their respective substacks, but they do not show on my feed. My feed completely died for the last several days and it took me to actively search around to discover this.
Aside from these issues, please - make some means of reporting bugs available! You surely can’t rely solely on a user faq and instrumentation to take care of possible issues that may (read: will) arise.
