I signed up with Shortform using Apple Sign-in Authentication. It appeared to work initially, but I am unable to use it now and am experiencing difficulty logging in and using the app. I hope they are able to resolve this issue. At the moment, I am using the web version and enjoying the experience there.

No one likes apps that offer you a free trial and then automatically charge you at the end. Developer stopped doing that in recent times because they know everyone hates it.

Adds a lot to the reading experience. Somehow I feel like I’m learning more than I would reading a full book and I’m able to learn it in half the time.
