It has the potential to be great, but it keeps buffering on me when I try to post or save a profile bio. It rarely works. Also, the UI needs to be improved, or rather, you need better sorting options. I can't look back at previous posts to see if anyone had also responded to a post, like I do on reddit. I like that this seems to be geared towards authors. I just wish the app would be improved. I'll change my rating if they fix it.

Love the content, but the navigation is queasy. I get a notification that someone liked my comment; okay; I click the notification; in the ensuing screen, all I see is the comment, not even a [back arrow] to the original article. Also, the writer/publication duality can render things confusing for the readers. Most writers only write the one thing, and most readers don't think the way the app-makers have envisioned it. Can we not have a HOME button?

After entering replying on email, entering the name, got to notification... it got frozen. After several attempts, the same page opened & and is still frozen. Is this a paid app? On Google Play under the name, it doesn't mention it is the subscription app,but on the Q & A page, when first opened the page, it says it. Disappointed? Yes! Uninstalling it? Yes! Why not mention it? It is a subscription. Do not install if you can't afford it. The truth.
