Dysfunctional. Tapping a Notes notification does not take you to that note. App does not allow editing comments. Does not keep running in background. Good luck cutting and pasting to/from another app. Plus many other things that don't have basic function. Its awful. I love the platform, but please fix this app instead of rolling out more and more features. Or just make the mobile website more functional. It does many wacky, frustrating things as well.

The content is great, but the app and website are frustrating to use. When trying to claim a free post, the website redirects to the app, but the app returns an error. Sometimes, the website states that "teaser posts are not available for this content." I've attempted to claim a free post through email, the website, and the app, but none have worked. It feels like a bait-and-switch, and Substack could be setting itself up for a class action lawsuit.

PLEASE FIX THE EPISODE AUDIO!!! You are failing your creators. Newer updates have ruined the podcast audio experience for users. I'm constantly having to close and restart the playback on the clips. Also, please restore the ability to open an audio clip as a full page instead of this nonsense you've forced on users. There is only a tiny sliver of a bar with controls on the bottom of the screen during audio playback. Basically, take us back to the old version and this app will be 5/5 again.
