App failure

I have finally been able to access Substack by loading it on my iPad. I have loaded it on my iPhone and am unable to get it to open. I have stripped it out and reloaded it about 6 times on my iPhone but when I use the link it will not open and the circle just goes around …
I really want it on my iPhone as well! Too hard to locate anywhere to report the issue. All of my favourite writers are here and I need this glitch fixed.

This app can read to you

Which is great, but what is not so great is that there are no controls to turn off autoplay. So when one post is finished, it continues to read me an older one I have listened too previously. I am usually busy with my hands and unable to get to the phone and stop it. This is annoying.

Also, if the Substack channel mostly does audio, the autoplay does not just play the next oldest audio as you might expect, or the next newest, which would be great (and more logical), it begins to read you the next older text based entry. Even if there are five audio posts that would be next. Repetition like this is even more annoying.

Having the options available for the user to choose would be way better.

Otherwise a 5 Star app.

Sean Plunkett

I used to hear Sean on Radio live and disagreed with most of what he said and detested some of it. I sent a txt one day to voice my disapproval of something he said and the next thing I’m being accused of being a racist on air. (It was nothing to do with race)
I like the stuff from you that I’ve read so far and to hear you have the same disregard for Sean Plunkett! That prompted me to immediately pay the subscription.
