Medium: Read & Write Stories

Your app keeps crashing non-stop.
The majority of articles are paid which is a bummer and it seems it isn’t worth to pay for it because of the crashes and freezes.

Only a black screen. It simply doesn’t work.
And for those complaining about having to pay for reading most of the articles. Why do you believe that everything has to be free on the internet? Running a website, creating an app and writing something interesting costs time and money.

Stop requiring people to login into your service to read articles written by others for free!

UI is super cool and easy to use
UX for a writer is so so bad, 0 internal traffic so basically no reach for content written in the app

Although I think an app as important as this one should be free, or a one-time buy, it never stops amazing me how good it is. In this time of fake news, internet access by social media is misused by absolute dimwits, robots, and governments alike, it's a breath of fresh air to read the stories published on the Medium platform.
The only reason I withhold the fifth star is the business model: it's quite an expensive way to get the top stories only for a high weekly fee. I know there are other options, but I can't afford a yearly membership, and quite frankly there are weeks I forget to read even one story.
Therefore I strongly urge the makers of this very important app to consider a one-time buy: if that was an option, no matter how high the pricing for it would be, I would be more inclined to pay than my on-and-off membership fee as it is now.

For an app that is focused on reading a lot is missing, like no good offline support and a read list of all the articles that I've read (so rereading something later is easy).

The community is terrific. There is a genre for everything and you can consistently get the content you are looking for. Ideal for exposing yourself to a certain type of info :)

The app is perfect for reading articles published on Medium. One of the best reader experiences I had on a phone.
As an author and somebody who wants to stay in touch with his audience it's far from perfect.
Most problematic is the fact that you cannot create a friend-link in the app. Well, I can't find how to do it. Sometimes I just want to share a friend-link to engage more with a subscriber to my articles.
The other nuisance I found that is getting frustrating is that badges are not clearing after I have read my notifications.
I have no clue what causes the badges to remove. They just stick around for a random time after I read all my notifications. Makes them almost useless.

I had read some very nice quality articles in medium on the web and decided to subscribe. Unfortunately the app showed mostly low quality content with "I did this for 10 days, guess what happened" sort empty pieces. Even though I chose all "not interested' options there, I couldn't get rid of them and failed to find academically written or scientific or expert pieces. Very disappointing! This pollution finds you doesn't matter what interest area you chose.

I was a daily, happy user. Since the redesign I get lost in the app. I only read articles which I can start from the daily highlights.
Now on top of that the app crashes within 30 seconds.

I like the platform. The app is fine. If it wouldn’t be constantly freezing and crashing. Why is it so hard to build a robust app?

Met medium.com blijf ik goed op de hoogte van allerlei ontwikkelingen op het gebied van tech. Net voldoende diepgang om een beeld te krijgen en lekker vlot leesbaar. Diepgang komt later wel

Opened the app suddenly had to go through the ‘new experience’, could not skip it and had to fill in at least my interest. I just wanted to read an article so I removed the app so I could open it in the browser.
Perhaps read one of the many stories about bad onboarding on your platform?

Medium has fantastic content on all kinda of topics (I used it mostly for reading about app dev etc.) but the app is very buggy on my iPhone 11 Pro Max. Almost 9/10 times the app hangs up after 1 min when opening it. I’m not sure if it’s a crash, but I can’t scroll anymore. This made it unusable for me every time I try to open it. Hoping it will be fixed soon, then I might download it again.

Apple sent me a confirmation of my Medium subscription. Though I cannot read anything without having to pay again. Guess scamming people is the new way to earn money

I can read free articles and a few premium one with a star (*). Guess what... there are only articles with a star.

Hi I was really enjoying reading the articles on this application. I have premium membership as well but something went wrong and since yesterday I am not able to open the application and not able to read any article. Is there any issue with new update? Waiting for the response. Thanks

It doesn’t adjust to the notch
Great product though, just a small piece of feedback
