Substack 12+

I appreciate your honesty in telling us what is truly happening, even though it may not be what we want to hear. I believe if a lot of the “right” had actually bothered to watch & read real news we might not be in this horrible mess. Unfortunately cults don’t listen to truthful advice because it’s much easier to blame others for their lot in life than to actually look at themselves as being the problem. I’m amazed at the ignorance of so many Trump voters who only heard the part of stopping drugs coming across the border & decided he was the right choice. Then they’re shocked to find about the mass deportations of their family & friends. And that’s just one out of many horrible policies he endorsed.

I also find it ridiculous to blame Mexico, Canada, China & several other countries for America’s drug problems. It’s a simple case of supply & demand. If Americans didn’t use all these horrible drugs, there’d be no need for them to come into our country! Once again, people need to look at themselves & stop blaming others for their issues.

I’m 71 years old, raised without much money & only completed the 9th grade. I got my GED when I was 39 years old just because I needed to know I could do it. I didn’t seek a higher education which was my choice. When I retired at 63 I was making $65,000 a year.

I never thought in my entire life that one day I could honestly say “I AM NO LONGER PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN.”

I couldnt delete my own post. oh wait mabye it was a "note" or some other thing that is convoluted and impossible to aspertain what is going on. I had to delete my entire account and delete the app just because I wanted to delete one of my posts. I have no idea how to do it. some of the posts I made have a delete button on them and then others dont have a delete option on them. makes zero sense. just make it so people can do simple things if the app is supposed to have a simple design just keep it simple and not convoluted with total confusion when people post stuff. just upload the thing you wanna post then give people the option to delete those things. not have 6 secrect different options for posting with different settings that are all different. I couldnt even edit the post, i tried and instead of showing the text in the post it just showed a url of the post which I could not remove. makes everything confusing complicated and impossible especially for average people and I am above average in being able to understand and find out how to use applications. this app is obviously designed by some programmer whom is used to and designs weird confusing systems like coders are used to using instead of an average person which are the people who actually use this app. its not a programming app so stop using confusing misleading designs and just make the thing simple and easy to use like its supposed to be for the target audience

OK I will change fro 2 stars to 3. I am still trying it, but really. Inconsistent appearance web and within the app.😵‍💫….. Easy to get started…. But user interface is confusing. Please just a bit more work would make such a difference. An app for readers and writers…. Reading other people’s ’publications’ is relatively easy, but creating your own is a bit of a chore since you never know where you are within this app. For example clicking on “settings” can give you two completely different screens depending where you started… I think. No manual. Search for help via Google etc. and you get offers to subscribe to someone’s sub-stack publication that will help you use sub-stack. If they tried to write a manual they would see how flawed the UI is. Also, pushes unwanted publications …. A serious no-no. You apparently can’t say ‘don’t do that’… you can only unsubscribe from every one of them only to have them replaced by another batch when you log on again. Overall, Is is a great idea… help writers connect to their audience in a coordinated manner. Several well known bloggers/writers use it. So far, I like the idea, but not the implementation. NOTE: some of the reviews here in the App Store refer to specific publications/blogs not to the app itself. ?? AND ALSO….. Your ‘BIO’ can only be 250 characters! Really. At First I thought is was 250 words. Nope. 250 characters 😏
