Irrespective of the content, and there are some good writers on substack (if you want to subscribe to them), the app is extremely bug-gy. Windows Web access works slightly better, but the Android app is one frustration after another. I've waited a couple of months before posting this in case I got more familiar, but it hasn't improved. It's also extraordinarily slow. It doesn't show up in the view of open apps, 'close all' doesn't close it, what you are typing can be lost if you switch apps...

Spelling mistakes can’t be corrected after publishing. While this makes sense for sent emails, edits aren’t allowed even in the original post without sending emails. Fixing errors means archiving the original and creating a new post, making the creation time inaccurate. The platform feels cluttered, the posts require manual indexing, and statistics include your own views. As a result, the inability to edit mistakes led me to leave the platform for other sites.

I don't know if it's a recent update, but this app has been crashing repeatedly in recent weeks. It's not just one function. The issue seems to have affected a variety of areas. This has effectively rendered the thing useless. Another thing, it won't sync with my website account. This makes it impossible to work across several devices. I cannot fathom why this might be the case. One final problem is the support chat bot's habit of second guessing earlier responses upon being challenged 🤔
