I got an email from substack offering me a credit. I tried to collect the credit, but substack will not let me log into my account on mobile. I had several errors from just trying to log in! I finally figured out that substack is sending emails to allow me to log in... on the app. Clicking the link in the email leads to another sign in error. Signing in on desktop does not have any of these problems. What a frustrating app experience, definitely worth a one star rating until it gets fixed.

I click on a link in a notification and it doesn't bring me right to the article and is sometimes very hard to find. Broken. No back button, so if I click on a link in an article to check it out really quick, and then want to go back to the original article I was reading, I can't, and have a very hard time even finding it. Broken. Clicked on a video playing with no sound and nothing happened. Broken

I previously rated Substack with a perfect score. While I still find the content to be of high quality, the app is plagued with numerous technical issues. For instance, on multiple occasions, after composing extensive responses to articles, I attempted to use Samsung AI for spell checking, only to find that my entire comment had been erased.
