This app is by far the best I've used. The community is wholesome. I enjoy using it, it's like my go-to app instead of other soul-sucking platforms. But, I would like to address my issue that I am not able to turn on the paid subscriptions as I don't have a Stripe account. The Philippines (Where I reside) is not part of stripe's coverage.I would really appreciate it if we can use other payment options as I want to continue using Substack as a platform where I write and also read.
Basic Features Recommendation!

Hello! This is such a nice app with refreshing content. I love it very much. It would be very nice if you add basic features such as being able to edit an article even if it is already posted & deleting a post (permanently). That’s all.
I hope I can write in the app too

Hi. I’ve been enjoying publishing my personal writing on substack recently. The only thing I wish I can enjoy is to write in the app using my mobile phone too. There are times when I think of some thoughts/ideas and I want to immediately write them down for substack, but I have to go to my Notes app for that, when what I really want to do is go straight to substack and create a draft right away so I’ll know that certain topic is something I wanna share in my substack profile. I hope you get what I mean. I’m slowly liking the app especially that I get to write in length about my thoughts. It feels like a journal. Thanks and more power to the developers.
Draft disappeared after switching apps
Grrrr_999
I lost several days worth of worked because I had assumed that the autosave function worked. The draft would be there whenever I opened the app. But one day I switched to my browser to check a reference. When I switched back to substack everything but the title of my post was wiped. There was no trace of the draft on the desktop site so I could not even check the version history. I'll stick to the desktop website and just write somewhere else instead.
