Major bugs. The recent good reviews on here must be talking about another app. Formatting for notes doesn't work. Editing most notes doesn't work. You cannot do most of the things or see most of the things that the website shows. Including the ability to delete notes on someone else's post. You can only do that on the website.

Need to get notifications from one important sub on this app. Do you think there is a way to disable notifications for all the other subs? Nope. What a joke. In this day and age it is a must! Also app is very slow loading each time. NO time stamp on messages and posts and also doesn't even load properly when you try to open post notification. Fix the OBVIOUS notifications problem and will give 5 stars.

Great! Largely merely because it pertains to a medium (personal blogs) that is much more wholesome than most other social media. But also because substack has so far resisted the pressure to devolve into the algorithmic junk, attention hacking, tiktokification trends that other platforms succumb to. The "notes" feature is the only aspect that seems somewhat underdeveloped (lack of personal customization choices), but it isn't much of an issue.
